Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 61
Deuteronomy 28
“The mighty Spirit of Lord Yahweh is wrapped around me because Yahweh has anointed me, as a messenger to preach good news to the poor. He sent me to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted, to tell captives, “You are free,” and to tell prisoners, “Be free from your darkness.” I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness. Because of this, they will be known as Mighty Oaks of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory.”
Isaiah 61:1-3 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Grace for the broken hearted and the down trodden is here. I Am piecing them back together and setting them to their feet again. The enemy’s attacks have been vicious, relentless, and they have gone after your life. But I Am rising on your behalf, and hell will shrink away. Hell will flee in terror of Me, because of My Name. They know I Am truth, and vengeance is swift when I hold it in My hand. I will terrorize and trample on the enemy on your behalf. That is Mine to do, not yours.
“Because you received a double dose of shame and dishonor, you will inherit a double portion of endless joy and everlasting bliss! “For I, Yahweh, love fairness and justice, and I hate stealing and sin. I will rightly repay them because of my faithfulness and enter into an everlasting covenant with them.”
Isaiah 61:7-8 TPT
Great grace is here to extend Heaven’s reach into your life, your situation, your heart. A great thinness is here in the atmosphere that divides Heaven and Earth, and what has hindered you, I Am blowing on, and like a puff of smoke it will simply dissipate and disappear from your life. Delay, misunderstanding, confusion, strife and struggle are going out the door as I blow My grace gift on your life. And what will come in is light, is Heaven, is opportunity and change. Not change for change’s sake like the world makes, but change that will transform your heart and life in new ways. Change that carries the power of transformation to the world around you — that’s the kind of change I bring and I breathe.
“Their seed will be famous among the nations, and their descendants the center of attention of the people. All who see them will recognize that they are the seed that Yahweh has blessed with favor!””
Isaiah 61:9 TPT
Don’t fear the Green Lantern. And don’t fear the residue of hell. My grace winds are blowing softly but determinedly and sustainedly on your life. A lot of grime from this last year and season is being swept out. I will even turn up the power, and you will see as I blow the remnants of that old wilderness time away. It’s time for new terrain, and when I send you to the wilderness next time, it will be as a conqueror. See the difference when you return to a place over which you have gained dominion? The whole visit and feel is different. So don’t mistake it when I send you back there. The duration will not be long, and you will feel more like a property owner checking on his investment than a wanderer on a path that feels like it leads to nowhere. You know the roads now, and you can take them confidently and with ease. This is a different season. And the wilderness is decidedly underneath your feet. You have conquered it.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord thank You for Your grace winds and breath that is blowing in my life — in the broken places, in the downtrodden places. Thank You for picking me up and setting me on my feet again in strength. Thank You for blowing the remnants of the old season away and for bringing Your vengeance against the enemy for his assault, dely, theft and destruction in my life. Thank You for walking with me the entirety of the very long wilderness season, and for bringing me out of it as a conqueror and king. Help me to move into this new season of change filled with hope, enthusiasm and the expectation of delight. You have indeed made me the head and not the tail.
- Declare, “The Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you only will be above, and you will not be underneath, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I charge you today, to observe them carefully, and do not turn aside from any of the words which I command you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.”
Deuteronomy 28:13-14 NASB1995 - Decree, God’s grace is more than enough for me. His winds of grace and love are blowing and breathing on my life — ridding me of the debris of what is old and must go. And He is rising up in vengeance against the enemy on my behalf. The new days, the change will be different and better than days behind me. I am a conqueror and a king under the lordship of Jesus. Whom or what shall I fear?
