Today’s Reading:
Joel 2
1 Peter 1
2 Corinthians 4
Jeremiah 33
I had another series of dreams last night. As I asked the Lord to bring revelation, understanding and application, this is what I heard the Spirit of the One True Living God say,
My grace covers many faults. It covers holes and cracks, and now it is covering many fault lines. My grace is bringing healing to the inner man.
As He was saying this, I saw a picture in my mind of a clay vessel — like a vase — with cracks and holes and fault lines but it was still mostly one piece. It was missing a large chunk on the top that was being put back into place.
Children of Zion, be glad! Celebrate the mighty acts of Yahweh your God, for he has given you a teacher of righteousness whose teaching is like the refreshing spring rains. And he will pour down the rains for you, the spring and autumn rains as before. “The threshing floors will be full of grain, the pits beside the presses will overflow with new wine and fresh oil. I will make up for the years the swarms of locusts ruined your harvest— the hopping-locusts, the destroying-locusts, and the cutting-locusts— my great army that I sent against you. You will eat to your heart’s content and be satisfied. You will gloriously praise the name of Yahweh your God, who has treated you so wonderfully. And never will my people be despised again. Then, Israel, you will know without question that I am dwelling among you. I am Yahweh your God, and no one else. I say again: no more will I surrender my people to shame.”
Joel 2:23-27 TPT
Then I heard the Lord say,
The places of your soul that have been fractured, broken, that have taken hits and have had bites torn out, that have suffered severe damage and minute damage — My grace is moving to cover it all as My Spirit reveals the damage to you. My revelation light is moving to show you the damage from the locusts, the cankerworms, the demonic assaults and direct hits that your soul has endured. My revelation light is making these apparent to you, so you can partner with me in the removal of the vermin, the demonic entities that have harassed without ceasing, the mealworms that have been eating away at what is rightfully yours.
So then, prepare your hearts and minds for action! Stay alert and fix your hope firmly on the marvelous grace that is coming to you. For when Jesus Christ is unveiled, a greater measure of grace will be released to you. As God’s obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn’t know better. Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One who called you. For Scripture says: “You are to be holy, because I am holy.” Since you call on him as your heavenly Father, the impartial Judge who judges according to each one’s works, live each day with holy awe and reverence throughout your time on earth. For you know that your lives were ransomed once and for all from the empty and futile way of life handed down from generation to generation. It was not a ransom payment of silver and gold, which eventually perishes, but the precious blood of Christ—who like a spotless, unblemished lamb was sacrificed for us.
1 Peter 1:13-19 TPT
As I reveal these vermin, these events, these attacks, partner with Me to remove them, to cleanse you, to empty you out from all foreign intrusion and invasion that has resulted from these years of innocent and not so innocent choices — from moments in your deep history about which you cannot possibly know except by the revelation of My Spirit or by the revelation of the demonic entity itself as it’s drawn out by one carrying My authority. And then there are those choices you made big and small, innocent and not so innocent that opened a door for the demonic to come in. This is a time of revelations of those things, of cleansing from those events and choices and histories, and then comes the time when you ask, and My great, perfect grace comes in and covers your entire newly cleaned soul like a fresh layer, like a restorative protective porcelain glaze on a delicate and damaged vase.
“Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth. I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel and will rebuild them as they were at first. I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against Me and by which they have transgressed against Me. It will be to Me a name of joy, praise and glory before all the nations of the earth which will hear of all the good that I do for them, and they will fear and tremble because of all the good and all the peace that I make for it.’”
Jeremiah 33:6-9 NASB1995
I Am pouring out, and I will pour out My grace in all of those places that were fractured, broken, chipped and bitten through. Ask and My perfect grace will cover you. But do it in order. Ask for the revelations and the cleansing first, so My grace can seal the change, can seal the freedom, can seal the cleansing and can make your soul whole again.
Note for Context: I have been seeking the Lord’s revelation and uncovering of any demonic entry points or strongholds in my life — those that I have caused and those that came in the generations before me. He has been showing me these places and demonic entities in dreams one at a time and helping me to systematically remove them. This has not been an emotional or difficult process. It has been absolutely freeing and life-giving. But it has been intentional. This has been going on for about two weeks, and I will continue to pursue this until I feel the Lord say that the work is done. I believe we are in a time of exceptional grace to have our souls fully restored by Him.
How to Respond
- Ask the Lord for revelations of events, sins and choices in your past and in the generations preceding you that opened the door for demonic harassment, theft and destruction.
- Repent and renounce these as the Lord brings them to the surface. As He reveals, repent and renounce on behalf of others in your family as well — even multiple or many generations prior.
- Ask your High Priest, King Jesus for His wisdom and for help in binding and expelling these demonic entities and sending them to the pit forever.
- Invite Holy Spirit to cleanse you and to pour out His perfect grace to heal you and seal the change.
- Keep doing this until the Lord gives you peace that all of the fractures, breaks and holes have been identified and restored.
- Pray, Papa, Jesus, Holy Spirit thank You that Your desire is for me to be whole, strong and operating in power. Guide me in this process of seeking deliverance from any and all demonic harassment, for identifying the places, moments, choices and events that gave entry points to that harassment, theft and destruction in my life and in some cases where the event was in the prior generations, it has affected my entire family. Thank You that it is Your revelation light that will guide me and Your kindness in this revelation that will lead me to repentance, so I can renounce those prior choices and events, expel the demonic entity that was granted an entry point, bind it and send it to the pit forever. And be restored from this moment forward by Your great and perfect grace.
- Declare,“Give thanks to the Lord of hosts, For the Lord is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting” — Jeremiah 33:11b NASB1995
- Decree, The Lord has brought me to a time where full soul healing is possible. It requires my participation and seeking. He will do the revealing. He will help me with the binding, extraction, expulsion and cleansing. And He will pour out His great and perfect grace to restore — as I seek His revelation for healing these places — known and unknown to me. I will pursue the revelation, wisdom, cleansing, healing and grace of the Lord in all aspects of my life. I must be healed and whole in order to war and withstand in the days ahead.
