Today’s Reading:
Psalm 18
Psalm 34
Lord! I’m bursting with joy over what you’ve done for me! My lips are full of perpetual praise. I’m boasting of you and all your works, so let all who are discouraged take heart. Join me, everyone! Let’s praise the Lord together. Let’s make him famous! Let’s make his name glorious to all.
Psalms 34:1-3 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Magnify My Name. Make My Name famous. Make My character and My ways famous. Make My love and goodness famous in all the Earth. If you don’t do it, the rocks will cry out. This is a time for My testimony. This is a time to speak forth boldly the testimony of My love, My goodness, My faithfulness and My watch and care over your life.
You’ve trained me with the weapons of warfare-worship; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You empower me for victory with your wraparound presence. Your power within makes me strong to subdue. By stooping down in gentleness, you made me great! You’ve set me free, and now I’m standing complete, ready to fight some more!
Psalms 18:34-36 TPT
The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Let your anointed words break the yoke. Send forth your anointed words to set the captives free. This is a time of jail breaks by decree, of healing by declaration, of regime change by prophecy and warfare-worship. This is the time for My people to arise in faith, in purity, cloaked in authority and power! This is a time to be fearless and bold. It’s still a fight for your nation and your children. Shake off apathy. Shake off timidity. Shake off the grave clothes of unbelief. Live like Jesus did. Walk with Me. Say what I say, and do what you see Me doing. Change is here, and change is coming. Participate in the tectonic shift. We’re resetting the table and making things right. But it requires heart, grit, sweat and determination. It requires knowing your why and understanding your destiny.
God, all at once you turned on a floodlight for me! You are the revelation-light in my darkness, and in your brightness I can see the path ahead. With you as my strength I can crush an enemy horde, advancing through every stronghold that stands in front of me. Yahweh, what a perfect God you are! All Yahweh’s promises have proven true. What a secure shelter for all those who turn to hide themselves in you, the wraparound God. Could there be any other god like Yahweh? For there is not a more secure foundation than you. God, you have wrapped me in power and made my way perfect. Through you I ascend to the highest peaks to stand strong and secure in you.
Psalms 18:28-33 TPT
Align your words and action and forward motion with My Spirit and the destiny call I have put on your life. We’re going to take the high ground. We’re going to take the high places. This is the time that kings go out to war. Do it in worship. Do it in song. Do it with a clear vision of your expected end. And declare it all along the way. Pull it forward. Demand your expected end to triumph. This is the way we war. You can do it in full joy, because I’ve already won.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord, You alone are worthy of glory, honor and praise. I won’t be silent, and I won’t be ashamed. I will proudly speak the testimonies of Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. I will worship You as I declare my expected end, as I declare that Earth’s reality must align with Heaven. Holy Spirit help me to align my forward motion with You and Your destiny call on my life. Thank You that the war is already won.
- Declare, Yahweh lives! Praise is lifted high to the unshakable God! Towering over all, my Savior-God is worthy to be praised! Look how he pays back harm to all who harm me, subduing all who come against me. He rescues me from my enemies; he lifts me up high and keeps me out of reach, far from the grasp of my violent foe. So I thank you, Yahweh, with my praises! I will sing my song to the highest God, so all among the nations will hear me. You have given me, your king, great victories. You’ve always been tender and kind to me, your anointed one, your loving servant, [say your name], and to all my descendants!“ — adapted from Psalms 18:46-50 TPT
- Decree, I will speak boldly and unapologetically about the goodness, the faithfulness & the wonder working power of the Lord my God. I will go where He tells me to go, do what He shows me to do and say what He tells me to say. I will not be afraid or ashamed to speak about my love for Jesus, my Savior and Redeemer. I will shake off the dust of the past and of unbelief. I will move forward in clarity and alignment to take the future and the high ground and the high places of my nation for His Kingdom, His Name’s sake and for the future generations.
