Today’s Reading:
2 Chronicles 7
Isaiah 44
Mark 11
“Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me. Who is like Me? Let him proclaim and declare it; Yes, let him recount it to Me in order, From the time that I established the ancient nation. And let them declare to them the things that are coming And the events that are going to take place. Do not tremble and do not be afraid; Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none.’ ”
Isaiah 44:6-8 NASB1995
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
My people have gone rogue. I’ve put it in their hearts what they are to do, who they are to be, even what they are to speak. But they have gone rogue. Many of them have deserted me and gone to do and be and say things that don’t match up with My design. It’s time for a realignment. It’s time for a realignment with truth, with faith and with love. It’s time to hit the reset button on the definitions of those words in the vernacular. They have been hijacked.
“Those who fashion a graven image are all of them futile, and their precious things are of no profit; even their own witnesses fail to see or know, so that they will be put to shame. Who has fashioned a god or cast an idol to no profit? Behold, all his companions will be put to shame, for the craftsmen themselves are mere men. Let them all assemble themselves, let them stand up, let them tremble, let them together be put to shame.”
Isaiah 44:9-11 NASB1995
When words and My Word are hijacked, My people are led astray. This is why we are where we are. People misunderstand love. People misunderstand hate. People misunderstand truth, which doesn’t move or change shape. And people misunderstand faith. They put their faith in material wealth, in My Creation or in some abstract concepts that have no power. It’s time for a return. It’s time for a realignment and a reconciling with truth.
“and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14 NASB1995
It requires humility. It requires realignment with truth, with faith and with love. I desire to heal your land, to bind up your wounds. I desire to pour out gifts and blessings, healing and abundance from Heaven. But the Heavens are shut up for those until you fulfill your side of the equation. My people must fulfill their side of the equation, and then I will pour out not only healing and forgiveness but a blessing so big, you will struggle to contain it. I Am the Lord. Your God. Realign with Me.
How to Respond
- Get right with God. Realign yourself fully with Him. Allow no compromise.
- Pray, Holy Spirit show me myself. Show me my heart. Help me to see where I have gone astray, where I have gone rogue and gone my own way. Help me to get realigned with the immovable truth. Help me to put my faith only and completely in You. Help me to reorient and correct my understanding of love. I don’t want to stay off track. I want to position myself properly, so I can be a part of You hearing from Heaven, forgiving our sins and healing our land.
- Declare, And Jesus *answered saying to them, “Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.”
—Mark 11:22-24 NASB1995 - Decree, The Lord desires to heal our land. He desires to forgive our sins individually and as a nation. I will do my part. I will humble myself. I will pray and seek the face of the Lord. I will realign my heart and my thinking with what the Bible says about truth, faith and love. I will not use modern, hijacked definitions of ancient foundational Biblical principles. I will turn away from all wickedness that I have permitted or welcomed in my life, and I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I will see my life and my nation healed and restored.
