Today’s Reading:
Psalm 97
Psalm 105
Ezekiel 36
Matthew 17
Yahweh now reigns as King! Let everyone rejoice! His rule extends everywhere, even to distant lands, and the islands of the sea, let them all be glad. Clouds both dark and mysterious now surround him. His throne of glory rests upon a foundation of righteousness and justice. All around him burns a blazing glory-fire consuming all his foes. When his lightning strikes, it lights up the world. People are wide-eyed as they tremble and shake. Mountains melt away like wax in a fire when the Lord of all the earth draws near. Heaven’s messengers preach righteousness, and people everywhere see God’s glory in the sky! Shame covers all who boast in other gods, for they worship idols. For all the supernatural powers once worshiped the true and living God. But God’s Zion-people are content, for they know and hear the truth. The people of praise rejoice over all your judgments, O Lord!
Psalms 97:1-8 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
My grace is unfolding before your very eyes. Grace is challenging conventional thought and approaches. Grace, My grace is confronting established beliefs that have become like a toxic religion. My grace is hovering and moving into the cracks that have come into the arguments, into the worldviews — into those fissures and will expand in those places like ice, and the grace that fills and expands in those fissures will cause entire belief systems built on established convention to crumble and fall apart.
”He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river. For He remembered His holy word With Abraham His servant; And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout. He gave them also the lands of the nations, That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor, So that they might keep His statutes And observe His laws, Praise the Lord!“
Psalms 105:41-45 NASB1995
It is often said that if you give someone an inch, they will take a mile. This is usually a negative connotation, but I too will take a mile, My angelic host will take a mile when it comes to destroying the works and belief systems of evil. All we need is an inch, a little opening, a little fissure, a hairline crack, and My grace can be in there and do the work that disrupts, breaks up and destroys the entire structure of that shoddy belief system. This is how I Am touching hearts right now. This is what you are seeing across the world. Fissures of cognitive dissonance, hairline fractures of things not adding up, cracks and holes of arguments beginning to ring very hollow — this is what I can work with. This is what My grace is targeting. The faulty structures the enemy has built upon lies, propaganda and the unholy desires of men have allowed these structures to thrive, but the shaking has come, and the questions have begun to form. The arguments are not holding up, and fissures, cracks and fractures have formed in peoples hearts and minds where they were once solidly sealed up as perma-structures of lies.
I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord,” declares the Lord God, “when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight. For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be My people, and I will be your God.
Ezekiel 36:23-28 NASB1995
The enemy thought he built to last, but lies, deceit and trickery cannot withstand the winds, the heat and the shaking of truth. They will fall. And My grace is seeping into those places now and causing these cracks, fissures and holes to expand, to further weaken the structures built on lies; and you will see many people walk out as human once again. They had been covered in the mortar of unbelief, of lies and propaganda. They wore it as a protective exoskeleton that they didn’t in a lot of cases even realize was there. But those mortar-like exoskeletons are cracking and crumbling, and you will see humanity reemerge. You will see the true essence of humanity reemerge in this time. The false, the lies, the deceit and the division that once wrapped and robed and clothed many as a mortar-like exoskeleton will crack, will crumble and will fall away. And you will see real humans made of flesh where immovable, impenetrable mountains of unbelief and defiance once stood.
How to Respond
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You that Your shaking, Your release of truth in so many forms is causing fissures, cracks, fractures and holes to form in these seemingly impenetrable exoskeletons that cover so many of our family members, friends and neighbors. Keep the shaking and release of truth going, and keep Your grace flowing and invading, so these people can be set free from the bondage of lies, deceit, propaganda, division, hate and witchcraft that have held them apart from You for so long. Free them Lord by Your grace.
- Declare, For truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. [But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”]
Matthew 17:20-21 NASB1995 - Decree, The Lord is moving mountains, shaking mountains and causing mountains to crumble. He is releasing truth, and it is causing people whose hearts and minds were impenetrable fortresses and immovable mountains to lose the fortifications that held them captive, and He is setting their humanity free.
- Ask the Lord to lead your prayer life and ask Him what kind of fast He would have you do to break the bonds of wickedness off of your family, friends, neighbors and people far beyond those.
