Today’s Reading:
Psalm 94
Psalm 97
Psalm 98
‘Lord God Almighty, you are the God who takes vengeance on your enemies. It’s time for you to punish evil! Let your rays of revelation-light shine from your people and pierce the conscience of the wicked and punish them. It’s time to arise as judge of all the earth; arise to punish the proud with the penalty they deserve! How much longer will you sit back and watch the wicked triumph in their evil, boasting in all that is wrong? Listen to them bragging among themselves, big in their own eyes, all because of the crimes they’ve committed against your people! See how they’re crushing those who love you, God, cruelly oppressing those who belong to you. ‘
Psalms 94:1-5
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Great choice is ahead. Great change is ahead in the aftermath of a great shaking. Where you have been like ants shaken in a jar for many years, I will turn your tormentors on themselves, on each other. And a bloodbath will ensue. They have been focused on tormenting and diving the people, but revelations are coming that will cause them to take their eyes off of tormenting and abusing the people and turn their ire on one another. A political bloodbath will ensue. Their faces and names will have already been marred in front of the whole world, so their true colors will be seen as they scrap and fight for what remains. The loss of relevance, power and standing will come suddenly for these. And they will behave as wild animals, trapped and fighting for survival. This is the mess and the chaos, the noise and the rancor that comes after a massive jolt.
“Heaven’s messengers preach righteousness, and people everywhere see God’s glory in the sky! Shame covers all who boast in other gods, for they worship idols. For all the supernatural powers once worshiped the true and living God. But God’s Zion-people are content, for they know and hear the truth. The people of praise rejoice over all your judgments, O Lord! For you are King-God, the Most High God over all the earth. You are exalted above every supernatural power!”
Psalms 97:6-9 TPT
This is when the people must arise in merriness, in worship and praise and song. This is the time — and even start now — to prophesy into the new day. Prophesy into what this nation will be. Prophesy for the old foundations to surface again. Prophesy that the root and source of all life and wisdom is the King of kings, King Jesus. Prophesy and remind the earth and the heavens that this nation was grafted in as a young seedling right into the heart of the King. Prophesy life and fruitfulness. Prophesy oneness with your Creator God and King.
“Let the ocean’s waves join in the chorus with their roaring praise until everyone everywhere shouts out in unison, “Glory to the Lord!” Let the rivers and streams clap with applause as the mountains rise in a standing ovation to join the mighty choir of exaltation. Look! Here he comes! The Lord and judge of all the earth! He’s coming to make things right and to do it fair and square. And everyone will see that he does all things well!”
Psalms 98:7-9 TPT
The time to be listless, hopeless and apathetic is through. Now is the time for hope — to sing songs of hope, to spread hope and to be the voice of hope in the midst of great change. Don’t be discouraged by what your eyes see. It is necessary for the change, for the transformation, for the uncovering and rebirthing that I Am doing in the Earth. You should rejoice and be glad in it. Rejoice and be glad in Me. Hope will take you far. Faith will help you see. Trust that I Am your secure anchor in all of it. And you will not be swept out, tossed about or moved from position — as you remain in Me. I Am your daily bread. Rest securely in Me. Abide in Me, and sing for joy as you remain hidden safely in Me. This is the time of change.
How to Respond
- Pray, Holy Spirit You are my wraparound shield, my strong tower of refuge and strength, an ever present help in times of trouble. Thank You for hiding me and for being my anchor no matter what comes. Help me to stay focused on You and Your word of instruction in this time and not on the news, the chaos or noise.
- Declare, “Go ahead—sing your brand-new song to the Lord! He is famous for his miracles and marvels, for he is victorious through his mighty power and holy strength. Everyone knows how God has saved us, for he has displayed his justice throughout history. He never forgets to show us his love and faithfulness. How kind he has been to Israel! All the nations know how he stands behind his people and how he saves his own. So go ahead, everyone, and shout out your praises with joy! Break out of the box and let loose with the most joyous sound of praise!”
Psalms 98:1-4 TPT - Decree, I will not partner with anxiety, fear, apathy or hopelessness. I will be found singing and worshipping, praising and prophesying in the courtyard of my King. I will speak life to this nation. I will speak hope to the people. I will sing praises to the One who is causing upheaval, great shaking, transformation and rebirthing. He is the One who is bringing justice to America and to the nations. The shaking will bring justice and the Greater Awakening.
