Today’s Reading:
Zechariah 4
Psalm 19
“Here is the message of Yahweh to Zerubbabel: “You will not succeed by military might nor by your own strength but by my Spirit,” says Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies.”
Zechariah 4:6 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
We’re more than halfway there in this visible war for mindsets, for hearts, minds and souls. The war has gone on since the beginning of time, but it has only recently emerged in the visible landscape. You are not to get into fear, worry or doubt, for I have overcome the world. The ultimate victory hs been won and these lesser victories are being wrapped up along the way. Your role is to rejoice, to sing, to worship while you work, as you work. Go forth in full joy, knowing that the King of Glory has your back, and I go before you. I Am your wraparound shield, your comfort your trophy winner, your treasure and your sanctuary of peace from the storm.
“Yahweh’s Word is perfect in every way; how it revives our souls! Yahweh’s laws lead us to truth, and his ways change the simple into wise. Yahweh’s teachings are right and make us joyful; his precepts are so pure! Yahweh’s commands challenge us to keep close to his heart! The revelation-light of his Word makes my spirit shine radiant.”
Psalms 19:7-8 TPT
My Presence will overshadow you in a new way in this last half of the visible battle, and I Am inviting you in deeper to the secret place under the shelter of My wing. It seems dark as you enter. It seems solitary as you enter. But the hope of glory will illuminate the space from within you, and it will pour forth from you like liquid gold. Treasures untold from within you are activated in the deeper place of the secret place of My Presence. And that’s what I have for you in this next phase. It’s not that the battles won’t be tough. It’s not that the days won’t be dark. It’s that Christ in you is the hope of glory. It’s that hope that will light your way, and it’s that hope that will cause treasures to pour forth like liquid gold — for provision, for favor, for wisdom, for piercing understanding and the accompanying grace for revealing of truth.
“Yahweh’s decrees are trustworthy. The fear of Yahweh is pure, enduring forever. The rarest treasures of life are found in his truth. That’s why God’s Word is prized like others prize the finest gold. Sweeter also than honey are his living words— sweet words dripping from the honeycomb!”
Psalms 19:9-10 TPT
Rivers of liquid gold will pour forth from your heart and through your mouth as you release them from this hidden place of refuge in Me. Don’t give in to worry. Don’t partner with doubt or fear. A new day of a new dimension of My glorious stronghold is here. I’m calling you deeper into this place, so you can bathe and be washed in My Presence and glory. It will anoint you, mark you and fill you for the days and the battles ahead. And you can do this all and move forward in My perfect peace that passes all understanding. You absolutely can. That’s My design.

How to Respond
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for Your abiding presence. Thank You for leading me into all truth and for inviting me deeper into the secret place of shelter and refuge under Your wing. Help me to recognize fear tactics for what they are. Help me to perceive the reality of the battles and weapons being used against me and against all of us. Help me to rise up in boldness, rejecting fear, doubt and worry. Thank You for covering me with Your love and perfect peace. I want to be one who shines and illuminates the darkness with the hope of Christ Jesus that lives within me. I want to pour forth anointed words that bring favor, provision, truth and change the battle.
- Declare, “Keep cleansing me, God, and keep me from my secret, selfish sins; may they never rule over me! For only then will I be free from fault and remain innocent of rebellion. So may the words of my mouth, my meditation-thoughts, and every movement of my heart be always pure and pleasing, acceptable before your eyes, Yahweh, my only Redeemer, my Protector.”
Psalms 19:13-14 TPT - Decree, I receive the Lord’s invitation to go deeper. I will be found hidden deep within the secret place, hidden under the shelter of the wing of the Almighty God, the Most High God, my King. This secret place will protect me from the storm, and it will revive me, refresh me and fill me for the days ahead. From here I will be filled afresh with the hope of glory of Christ Jesus, and I will be empowered to flow with Him in every situation. In this flow, I will find favor, provision and grace to understand and speak the truth.
