Today’s Reading:
Ephesians 5
Psalms 5
Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your Father as his beloved sons and daughters. And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant love of Christ, for he surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us. His great love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration—a sweet healing fragrance. And have nothing to do with sexual immorality, lust, or greed—for you are his holy ones and let no one be able to accuse you of them in any form. Guard your speech. Forsake obscenities and worthless insults; these are nonsensical words that bring disgrace and are unnecessary. Instead, let worship fill your heart and spill out in your words. For it has been made clear to you already that the kingdom of God cannot be accessed by anyone who is guilty of sexual sin, or who is impure or greedy—for greed is the essence of idolatry. How could they expect to have an inheritance in Christ’s kingdom while doing those things?
Ephesians 5:1-5 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
The currency of truth is coming, and it will matter. Truth will give you entry into places of great awakening. Trusting in truth, having faith and belief in truth will give you access to places of great awakening.
Once your life was full of sin’s darkness, but now you have the very light of our Lord shining through you because of your union with him. Your mission is to live as children flooded with his revelation-light! And the supernatural fruits of his light will be seen in you—goodness, righteousness, and truth. Then you will learn to choose what is beautiful to our Lord.
Ephesians 5:8-10 TPT
Those who do not or have not put faith in truth will remain outside of the awakening, in the dark, outside of understanding. They will receive the shower of My cleansing and blessing and preparation for revival. But their journey will be longer with starts and stops. Theirs will be a circuitous route that will take them right back here eventually to the place and the opportunity to see the light and to have faith in the truth, so they can gain access to the place of great awakening. Some may take that circuitous route many times before disembarking into the light of understanding with faith in the truth held closely and dearly. Either way, the starting point and the ending point is the place of awakening, and there is a price to enter.
And don’t even associate with the servants of darkness because they have no fruit in them; instead, reveal truth to them. The very things they do in secret are too vile and filthy to even mention. Whatever the revelation-light exposes, it will also correct, and everything that reveals truth is light to the soul.
Ephesians 5:11-13 TPT
The price, the requirement for entry is grace for revelation of the transition. All who enter have obtained this grace for revelation of the transition. And I have even equipped them with the purchasing power of redemption and deliverance from servitude. They will carry this purchasing power, this new currency into the place of great awakening.
A time of cleansing through rest and submission is required in this place of awakening. A lot of the old will have to be flushed out, so you can live in renewal and creativity — in vibrancy, not weighed down in the place of awakening. The decision is yours. Great joy, lightness of spirit and prophetic life in community is found in the place of awakening beyond the cleansing and disposal of the old that has weighed you down and inhibited your faith. This is the way. Walk in it.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord, help me to see and understand and obtain grace for the revelation needed to make the transition. Help me to posture myself in submission & rest, so I can finally dispose of past situations and personal issues that are weighing me down and inhibiting my faith in You. I want to move into the place of joy, lightness of spirit and prophetic life and community.
- Declare, But let them all be glad, those who turn aside to hide themselves in you. May they keep shouting for joy forever! Overshadow them in your presence as they sing and rejoice. Then every lover of your name will burst forth with endless joy. Lord, how wonderfully you bless the righteous. Your favor wraps around each one and covers them under your canopy of kindness and joy.
Psalms 5:11-12 TPT - Decree, I will not live on the circuitous route of starts and stops outside of the awakening that the Lord has provided and called me to enter. He has given me the grace and revelation to make the transition, and I will do it. I will move boldly into this place of awakening, paying the full price of entrance. I will posture myself in rest and submission to the Lord, so any toxic issues from my past can be released and disposed of here. Life after that release and disposal will be full of joy, lightness of spirit and prophetic life in community with awakened believers.
