Today’s Reading:
Psalm 2
Psalm 40
Ask me to give you the nations and I will do it, and they shall become your legacy. Your domain will stretch to the ends of the earth.
Psalms 2:8 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God of Blazing Glory say,
This is a time of great transition in the world and a time of many personal transitions. It’s a time to pick up your mat and follow Me. It’s a time that may feel temporarily nomadic. It may feel temporarily unsettled, unestablished. But this is the beginning of a new thing, and you will be established in a new place that is upgraded, elevated and holds great authority in this realm that for a time feels completely foreign. This is the new thing I Am doing. This is the new way we are going.
Blessing after blessing comes to those who love and trust the Lord. They will not fall away, for they refuse to listen to the lies of the proud. O Lord, our God, no one can compare with you. Such wonderful works and miracles are all found with you! And you think of us all the time with your countless expressions of love— far exceeding our expectations! It’s not sacrifices that really move your heart. Burnt offerings, sin offerings—those aren’t what bring you joy. But when you open my ears and speak to me, I become your willing servant, your prisoner of love for life.
Psalms 40:4-6 TPT
Follow Me, even if it feels like you are burning the plowshares. Follow Me, even if its unclear where you will lay your head. I have prepared a place for you. I have made a way for you, and I will establish you in a position with authority that gives you a vantage point and an outlook that expands your vision and extends your ability to dream and to see far beyond what you can currently see.
So I said, “Here I am! I’m coming to you as a sacrifice, for in the prophetic scrolls of your book you have written about me. I delight to fulfill your will, my God, for your living words are written upon the pages of my heart.” I tell everyone everywhere the truth of your righteousness. And you know I haven’t held back in telling the message to all. I don’t keep it a secret or hide the truth. I preach of your faithfulness and kindness, proclaiming your extravagant love to the largest crowd I can find!
Psalms 40:7-10 TPT
You may say, “Lord, this field, this place, this transition is crowded with many like me.” I say, “as you seek after that which is lost, as you go, I will give the gift of My Spirit, My power and My prophetic anointing. I have marked this gift with My Blood, and as you seek that which is lost, you will receive this gift. And as you ask Me for the key, the ancient key you will find that I open exactly the doors that you need. This is the time to heed the call and follow Me.”
How to Respond
- Trust the Lord, and obey Him quickly and completely.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for this time of transition that leads me to a new level, a new place and into greater authority and power. Help me to trust You, to obey Your voice and call, and to follow wherever You lead. Thank You for going before me and for preparing and establishing the place ahead of my arrival there.
- Declare, Here I am! I’m coming to you as a sacrifice, for in the prophetic scrolls of your book you have written about me. I delight to fulfill your will, my God, for your living words are written upon the pages of my heart. — Psalms 40:7-8 TPT
- Decree, I will burn the plowshares. I will pick up my mat and follow Jesus. I will not linger in this place when He calls me to move forward. I will go where He leads, even if I don’t understand, and even if I can’t see what He is doing. I will pursue the lost, and as I do, the Lord will give me a gift that allows me to flow and rest in Holy Spirit in a way I never have before. He will wrap this gift with power, the prophetic anointing and the Blood of Jesus, and He will be the key that unlocks every appointed door as I carry this gift to the places He has prepared for me.
