Today’s Reading:
Ephesians 3
Ephesians 1
This superabundant grace is already powerfully working in us, releasing all forms of wisdom and practical understanding. And through the revelation of the Anointed One, he unveiled his secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of his long-range plan, which he was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time. And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when God makes all things new in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 1:8-10 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Great Grace River is flowing. It looks like it’s moving slowly, because you are standing at a low vantage point. Come closer. Draw near in this up higher place, and you will see that the river is moving gently but powerfully, consistently and rapidly. Get into the river of My grace, and let My flow take you where you need to go. You can strive and work on the outside of it, on the banks of it, or you can jump in and let My grace flow carry you. Let My power that’s present and readily supplied do the work. Why choose the hard way? Why choose the shore?
So I kneel humbly in awe before the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, the perfect Father of every father and child in heaven and on the earth. And I pray that he would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power.
Ephesians 3:14-16 TPT
Refreshing, revitalization, energy, joy and momentum are in My Grace River. It’s all here and provided for you. Just jump in. The bank trail beside it is dry and dusty, and you have to walk it in your own strength. But in Grace River, the flow means automatic acceleration. It means traversing at 3x or more the speed. I have you positioned for great acceleration. You can do it your way, and get there 1.5x faster than you have been going — if you push yourself hard to run down this trail. Or you can simply trust, take the leap, jump into My Great Grace River and watch as at times it will take you 3x faster, sometimes 5x faster and even 10x faster than if you remain committed to running along My banks.
Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life. Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!
Ephesians 3:17-19 TPT
Come and be refreshed. Come and be renewed. Come and get the free flowing advancement that I have provided just for you. Don’t make Me drag you kicking and screaming. And don’t be so committed to your own way. Open up your heart, your mind and your eyes, and jump feet- first in to My sparkling, refreshing, rapidly flowing Grace River. I will get you where I want you to go so much faster than you can in your own strength. Jump in My great river of grace.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord, help me to let go of my need for control. Help me to see what it is that is keeping me on the banks of Your Great Grace River. I want to jump in and be refreshed, revitalized, renewed and advanced into Your purposes. I don’t want to let any mindset, preference, false perception or lie keep me on the shore.
- Declare, Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you. Now we offer up to God all the glorious praise that rises from every church in every generation through Jesus Christ—and all that will yet be manifest through time and eternity. Amen!
Ephesians 3:20-21 TPT - Decree, This is an appointed time of the Lord’s supernatural advancement. I will not hold on to what is familiar or comfortable or safe. I will let go of my own opinions and understanding, and I will jump feet first into the rushing waters of His Great Grace River. I will be moved rapidly into new places as I submit to the Lord, partner with the Lord, and just jump into the grace He has already provided.
