Today’s Reading:
2 Timothy 1
2 Timothy 2
Daniel 11
I’m filled with joy as I think of your strong faith that was passed down through your family line. It began with your grandmother Lois, who passed it on to your dear mother, Eunice. And it’s clear that you too are following in the footsteps of their godly example.
2 Timothy 1:4b-5 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Trace your generations back to Me. Trace your years back to me. I Am the Source. I Am the Root. I Am the Cause. I Am the Author and Perfecter of your faith. Grace is upon you. Great, magnificent grace is upon you to move forward, to advance, to take the high ground, the hill country and beyond.
Timothy, my dear son, live your life empowered by God’s free-flowing grace, which is your true strength, found in the anointing of Jesus and your union with him!
2 Timothy 2:1 TPT
My great grace extends as far as the east and all the way to the west. I’m the Lord of the horizon. I Am the one bringing forth the new day. Great grace is on you for steps forward, for movement forward, for steady, unrelenting advancement. I’ve destined you for greatness. Greatness is inside of you. In My view the road to greatness looks like peeling back all the layers, peeling off all the layers that don’t align with Me and don’t look like Me, so all that remains is greatness. All that remains is My fearful and wonderful creation.
Overcome every form of evil as a victorious soldier of Jesus the Anointed One. For every soldier called to active duty must divorce himself from the distractions of this world so that he may fully satisfy the one who chose him. An athlete who doesn’t play by the rules will never receive the trophy, so remain faithful to God!
2 Timothy 2:3-5 TPT
These are days to walk in greatness, to walk and advance in what I’ve called you to do, being exactly who I made you to be. It doesn’t have to be hard. It doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s simple. It’s love. It’s laying everything down that stands between us, and the outpouring, the overflow, the reflex of your love will be obedience. Obey Me. Walk with Me, and we’ll do great exploits. My great, astounding grace is here for the taking and the overtaking of all that has been stolen, lost and ceded. This is war, and the winner takes all. Walk with Me. Delight in Me. I will give you strength, instruction and all that you need for the days ahead. It is My joy that will be your strength.
How to Respond
- Enjoy the Presence of the Lord. Delight in Him.
- Pray, Lord help me to step into Your grace. Help me to see each layer, each piece in my life and personality that is not aligning with You and is not looking like You. Help me to remove what needs to be removed and realign and adjust what needs to get into alignment. I want to walk in the greatness and destiny that You have planned for me.
- Declare, He gave us resurrection life and drew us to himself by his holy calling on our lives. And it wasn’t because of any good we have done, but by his divine pleasure and marvelous grace that confirmed our union with the anointed Jesus, even before time began! This truth is now being unveiled by the revelation of the anointed Jesus, our life-giver, who has dismantled death, obliterating all its effects on our lives, and has manifested his immortal life in us by the gospel.
2 Timothy 1:9-10 TPT - Declare, The people who know their God will display strength and take action.
Daniel 11:32b NASB1995 - Decree, This is a time of great grace. The Lord has full permission to help me see and remove every aspect of my life that does not look like Him and does not align with Him. I want to walk in the fullness of all that He has planned for me and all that He fearfully and wonderfully created me to be.
