Today’s Reading:
Hebrews 10
Hebrews 12
Proverbs 2
So don’t lose your bold, courageous faith, for you are destined for a great reward! You need the strength of endurance to reveal the poetry of God’s will and then you receive the promise in full. For soon and very soon, “The One who is appearing will come without delay!” And he also says, “My righteous ones will live from my faith. But if fear holds them back, my soul is not content with them!
Hebrews 10:35-38 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Trust in Me. Obey My instruction. You don’t have to understand it to obey. Many times you will not understand it or you will misunderstand it until it is done. Your understanding has no bearing on your ability to obey. Let anticipation rise. Let excitement and wonder arise. I Am about to do things in your day that you would not believe had you been told. And I Am about to do wonders in your life that you would not believe had I told you. Very specifically this is a time to hear, to listen, to trust and to obey. Make it and keep it as simple as it is. Don’t complicate it. Don’t overthink it, and give no thought or space to the fear of man. I will work wonders, miracles and bring gifts and surprises of great joy. But your obedience is required. That’s how I line things up. I line them up in accordance with your obedience. That’s how you receive. You receive by faith in alignment with Me, in obedience to the word I have placed on your heart and whispered in your ear, to your soul.
But we are certainly not those who are held back by fear and perish; we are among those who have faith and experience true life!
Hebrews 10:39 TPT
This is an exciting time to be alive, and it’s never been a more exciting and wonderful time to be you. So be you. Be fully you, and live in constant expectation of My goodness in the Earth and in your life very particularly. Expect My goodness to meet you coming and going, and watch how you see it. You will find it if you are looking for it. Don’t take the small things for granted. Don’t judge by your eyes. Judge by the Spirit. Judge by the word I have placed inside of you. Holy Spirit leads you into all truth. He guides you and gives you keen and sharp discernment. Discerning is not the same as understanding. Don’t confuse the two. Discernment is what gives you the ability to properly respond when you don’t understand, when you can’t see the full picture, when some of the elements are hiding. Discernment operates differently than understanding and operates regardless of understanding.
Follow those who follow wisdom and stay on the right path. For all my godly lovers will enjoy life to the fullest and will inherit their destinies.
Proverbs 2:20-21 TPT
Understanding can be limited and almost always is, but by My Spirit you can discern the truth. You can discern the spirits. You can discern which way to go or how to respond. So trust in Me, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Me, and I will make your path straight. These are glorious days, exciting day and days for which you have long been waiting. Rejoice in them. Anticipate them. And be expecting very, very good things. Walk with Me, and do not stray. I will keep your path straight.
How to Respond
- Bless the Lord, and live in anticipation and expectation of His goodness coming to meet you as you trust and obey Him.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for living inside of me. Thank You for speaking to me, for instructing me, guiding me and for leading me into all truth. Thank You for the gift of discernment. Help me to use it regardless of whether I believe I understand a situation. Help me to live in excited anticipation of what You are doing in the Earth and in my life. Help me to refuse all fear and instead keep my eyes on You. I want to live in quick and full obedience no matter what You say.
- Declare, As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us. We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God!
— Hebrews 12:1-2 TPT - Decree, Great is the Lord and worthy of all glory, honor and praise. His is the highest place, and His Name is above all other names in Heaven and on Earth. I will bless Him, trust Him, walk with Him and live in quick, full obedience to Him. I will not lean on my own understanding. I will not live in fear. I will not demand to understand before I obey. I will walk in the fullness of joy as I live in alignment with my King. Great days are ahead. They are right here and right now.
