Today’s Reading:
Psalm 26
Psalm 27
Psalm 51
Acts 1
Acts 2
For the source of your pleasure is not in my performance or the sacrifices I might offer to you. The fountain of your pleasure is found in the sacrifice of my shattered heart before you. You will not despise my tenderness as I bow down humbly at your feet.
Psalms 51:16-17 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Platforms are falling, because revival fire is at the ground floor. No man is exalted except King Jesus in this new day of Pentecost, this new Pentecost season, time and outpouring. This is about every individual’s connection to and personal encounter with the Living God, Christ their Savior who died for them and rescued their lives from the pit. He is the King of Glory, and no man or woman on a stage is of consequence. As the people get lower, as they bow in greater humility, in greater reverence, in greater hunger, in greater affection with more and increasing adoration, the revival fires get hotter and hotter as coals waiting to erupt into flames.
When I come to your altar, Yahweh, I’ll be clean before you, approaching with songs of thanksgiving, singing songs of your mighty miracles. Yahweh, I love to live in your house, this dwelling place of dazzling glory!
Psalms 26:6-8 TPT
No one cares about the stage. No one is looking at the stage. The relationship, the place of interest and concern is connection to, service to, right relationship with the Creator God and King. This is a return to the simple, pure unadulterated, gospel — without fanfare, without hype, without the magnification of a sound or a person or a scene. This is about the austere return to reverence, to purity, to relationship and the power of Almighty God. Holy Spirit fire will fall like lighting upon them as they bow in awe and wonder, as they seek, as they repent, as they stay very low and exalt the Name of their One True King, Jesus.
Every believer was faithfully devoted to following the teachings of the apostles. Their hearts were mutually linked to one another, sharing communion and coming together regularly for prayer. A deep sense of holy awe swept over everyone, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. All the believers were in fellowship as one body, and they shared with one another whatever they had.
Acts 2:42-44 TPT
This is a time of fire and power, of lower and slower. Relationship, worship, communion, fellowship, connection will go lower and slower. It will be a place to linger, to tarry and to dwell. Even as world events speed up to an unprecedented pace — My Presence will be a refuge, a hiding place, a strong tower and a place of unparalleled glory from which it is extremely difficult to rip yourself away. This is a holy time, a reverent time, a time of a greater release of power and the impartation of understanding of the authority Christ the King has already given into your hands. Let all that is not of King Jesus fall away. The way forward is worship. The way forward is low — very, very low. And the way forward is in purity. This is the birthing place of My people of fire who roar with passion for My Name, who fear nothing and no one because they have dwelt in the Presence of their all powerful Savior. They have gotten low enough to receive insights into the power that they carry and the authority that they possess.
Arriving there, they went into a large second-floor room to pray. Those present were Peter, John, Jacob, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, Jacob (the son of Alpheus), Simon (the zealot), Judas (the son of Jacob), and a number of women, including Mary, Jesus’ mother. His brothers were there as well. All of them were united in prayer, gripped with one passion, interceding night and day.
Acts 1:13-14 TPT
These are days of worship, deep, deep, increasingly deep worship and low, very low, incredibly low humility along with purity, authority and power. There have never been days like this. These days will set the world on fire. Trust in Me. Seek Me, and approach by getting very, very, very low. This is the word of the Lord your God.
How to Respond
- Seek the Lord and position yourself in humility. Be willing to go lower to access Him.
- Pray, Father thank You for the time in history that You have placed me. Help me to turn up the fire in my heart for You. Help me to shun all that entangles me and all that is keeping me from a greater, deeper pursuit and hunger for You and Your Presence. Lord, I want to dwell in Your Presence and be changed. I want to be one whose chief aim in life is the pursuit of knowing You. Help me to leave behind all that is not serving that end.
- Pray, Here’s the one thing I crave from Yahweh, the one thing I seek above all else: I want to live with him every moment in his house, beholding the marvelous beauty of Yahweh, filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace. I want to contemplate in his temple. — Psalms 27:4 TPT
- Decree, This is the time of a greater Pentecost season than the world has ever known. Performance, platforms and the exaltation of men has no place here. This is the place where humility is the way into the Presence of the Lord. Connection to the Living God, the King of all Creation is primary, and all else shrinks and fades in comparison. This is a time where authority and unrealized power are revealed to His lovers who are laid down low before Him in deep, deep humility.
