Today’s Reading:
Psalm 68
Psalm 18
“But let all the righteous be glad! Yes, let them all rejoice in your presence and be carried away with gladness. Let them laugh and be radiant with joy! Let them sing their celebration-songs for the coming of the cloud rider whose name is Yah! O Lord, it was you who marched in front of your people, leading them through the wasteland. Pause in his presence”
Psalms 68:3-7 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Magnify My Name in all the Earth. Transition is here. Change is here. You have emerged into a place of clarity on the platform I have set you. Praise is your weapon and your key to receive every promise spoken over your life. The impartations have been made. The receiving grace is there. Now it is time to praise. Praise will build the space inside of you to house all that has been spoken, promised and dreamed of.
“I love you, Yahweh, and I’m bonded to you, my strength! Yahweh, you’re the bedrock beneath my feet, my faith-fortress, my wonderful deliverer, my God, my rock of rescue where none can reach me. You’re the shield around me, the mighty power that saves me, and my high place. All I need to do is to call on you, Yahweh, the praiseworthy God. When I do, I’m safe and sound in you— delivered from my foes!”
Psalms 18:1-3 TPT
Praise will build the path to your Promised Land. Praise is a weapon that instills resilience in your soul for days ahead, for what’s to come and even for the warfare you face now. Praise is your weapon, and praise is your key. Wield it relentlessly, joyfully, and as you do, grab ahold of the vision that I have given you. Return to the inspiration that gave you your start. Praise from there. Praise from the vision to the vision. As you do, an archway, an entrance is built in the spirit through which you can enter your Promised Land, through which your promises and gifts can come to be received.
“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.”
Psalms 18:28-30 TPT
This is a time and a moment of fulfillment. But you have to war for the promise. And the way you war for and unlock the promise is with unyielding, unapologetic, immovable, unshakeable praise. Stand firm in Me, and praise. Raise your sword and praise. Lift your voice and praise. Shout and sing and give testimonies of praise. This unlocks everything. It unlocks every thing you’ve been waiting for. So praise.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord thank You for bringing me to a place of clarity and transition. Help me to return to the original vision You placed in my heart. Help me to do the work required to bring my life into alignment with that vision. Give me creative ways to remember to praise You. I want to praise and praise. I’ve got every reason and more reasons than I can count to praise You. Help me to set my focus on You and wield the weapon of praise, so I can unlock every promise that You have for me.
- Declare, “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. 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 18:31-36 TPT - Decree, Great is the Lord and worthy of all glory, honor and praise. He lifts kings up and takes them down. He changes the times and seasons. He has set my feet upon the Rock of my Salvation, King Jesus, and I will not be moved. I will wield the weapon of praise, and I will not relent. I will activate the key of praise, and it will unlock every promise that has been held back in my life. Praise will make room for all that I have been waiting for.
