Today’s Reading:
Psalm 15
Psalm 146
Luke 10
Yahweh, who dares to dwell with you? Who presumes the privilege of being close to you, living next to you in your shining place of glory? They are passionate and wholehearted, always sincere and always speaking the truth— for their hearts are trustworthy. They refuse to slander or insult others; they’ll never listen to gossip or rumors, nor would they ever harm a friend with their words. They will despise evil and evil workers while commending the faithful ones who follow after the truth. They make firm commitments and follow through, even at great cost. They never crush others with exploitation and they would never be bought with a bribe against the innocent. Those who do these things will never be shaken; they will stand firm forever.
Psalms 15:1-5 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Changes are coming. New tools will be put to use. Magnificent changes are coming. Jaw dropping changes are coming. I will peel back a layer of reality as you know it, and dark forces will be revealed — not to scare you, but to show you what has been operating and what has had control. You are seated with Me in Heavenly places, and I have given you all authority to tread down serpents and trample scorpions, and they by no means should hurt you. But it’s time to see the truth. It’s time to see the reality of the world you are living in and have been living in. The way you see the world and the way you believe the world to operate is a very far cry from reality. Your physical world is all predicated and built atop spiritual realities. And those realities, those structures, those networks are very deeply real.
Jesus concluded his instructions to the seventy with these words: “Remember this: Whoever listens to your message is actually listening to me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me, and not only me but the one who sent me.” When the seventy missionaries returned to Jesus, they were ecstatic with joy, telling him, “Lord, even the demons obeyed us when we commanded them in your name!” Jesus replied, “While you were ministering, I watched Satan topple until he fell suddenly from heaven like lightning to the ground. Now you understand that I have imparted to you my authority to trample over his kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will harm you as you walk in this authority. However, your real source of joy isn’t merely that these spirits submit to your authority, but that your names are written in the journals of heaven and that you belong to God’s kingdom. This is the true source of your authority.”
Luke 10:16-20 TPT
I will peel back this layer of reality. I will peel back and cause you to see the power of deep wickedness that underlies and underpins and undergirds the very world in which you live. But I won’t stop there. Then I will show you how your words in the spiritual realm have more power because of My Spirit — because the same Spirit that lives in Christ Jesus and raised Him from the dead is alive and active in you. I will show you how to command destruction of evil structures. I will show you how to silence the mouths of lying spirits. I will show you how to repel the onslaught at the gate and then push the gates of hell back to the ends of the Earth. I will show you how to build beautiful, holy, pure and worthy spiritual structures and realities in place of the wickedness that your words tore down.
Then Jesus, overflowing with the Holy Spirit’s joy, exclaimed, “Father, thank you, for you are Lord Supreme over heaven and earth! You have hidden the great revelation of this authority from those who are proud, those wise in their own eyes, and you have shared it with these who humbled themselves. Yes, Father. This is what pleases your heart: to give these things to those who are like trusting children.
Luke 10:21 TPT
This is a time of training and revealing the real spiritual reality, the true spiritual reality of the world you live in and think you know. Nothing is as it seems. Almost nothing is what it seems. But My power through My Spirit that lives in you is available and more than able to topple wickedness, to flush out darkness and to build worthy, holy, pure and acceptable, fruitful structures in their place. This is the time where I Am teaching you, calling you and loosing you to destroy and rebuild. You are My voice and part of My vast army on the Earth. Go forth and conquer. I will reveal what is true.
How to Respond
- Position yourself in humility and with expectation.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for peeling back the curtain on reality as I know it. Give me spiritual eyes to see the realities that underpin and control all of the physical world. Teach me how to access the power of Your Spirit inside of me to destroy wicked structures and to push back darkness. And teach me how to build beautiful, worthy, holy, pure and fruitful structures in their place.
- Declare, You keep all your promises. You are the Creator of heaven’s glory, earth’s grandeur, and the ocean’s greatness. The oppressed get justice with you. The hungry are satisfied with you. Prisoners find their freedom with you. You open the eyes of the blind, and you fully restore those bent over with shame. You love those who love and honor you. You watch over strangers and immigrants and support the fatherless and widows. But you subvert the plans of the ungodly. Lord, you will reign forever! Zion’s God will rule throughout time and eternity! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! —Psalms 146:6-10 TPT
- Decree, This is a time of the unveiling of spiritual realities and forces that drive, control and underpin the reality that we think we know. The Lord is giving me spiritual eyes to see those spiritual realities, and He is teaching me how to use the tools He has already made available to me — to destroy wickedness, to push back darkness and to build honorable, worthy structures in their place.
