Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 61
Isaiah 65
Psalm 58
Psalm 94
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
Isaiah 61:1-3 NASB1995
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Truth is waiting in the wings for her time to enter the stage. She is waiting on her appointed time to make her entrance, so don’t give up hope. Don’t give up on prayer. There is an appointed time. The production is already well underway. She won’t miss her scene. She won’t miss her entrance. She won’t miss her cue. She will emerge onto the stage right on time. Right on time.
The godly will celebrate in the triumph of good over evil, and the lovers of God will trample the wickedness of the wicked under their feet! Then everyone will say, “There is a God who judges the judges” and “There is a great reward in loving God!”
Psalms 58:10-11 TPT
Manufactured delays have held truth in the wings longer than planned. But those manufactured delays are being contained and suffocated. The time is drawing nigh now that she will enter the stage abruptly, unexpectedly; and she will steal the show. All eyes will be on the truth and the entire play, the entire production will be interrupted. It will be like the players on the stage will give up their parts, will give up the scene and will allow truth to take the lead, to be the center of attention. And it will take this show in a completely different direction. All that had been happening on stage before truth entered will be a minor footnote in history. But the truth will loom large and will no longer seem like a character that is behind the scenes waiting for her bit part. No, she will emerge, and it will seem as if the clock had stopped. It will seem as though the air was sucked out of the room. It will seem as though the main characters are now relegated to a place of minor roles and supporting players whose job is to support and defend the truth.
It’s obvious to all; you will have nothing to do with corrupt rulers who pass laws that empower evil and defeat what is right. For they gang up against the lovers of righteousness and condemn the innocent to death. But I know that all their evil plans will boomerang back onto them. Every plot they hatch will simply seal their own doom. For you, my God, you will destroy them, giving them what they deserve. For you are my true tower of strength, my safe place, my hideout, and my true shelter.
Psalms 94:20-23 TPT
Once the truth enters the stage, she will not leave. It will be her show. Other characters will come and go, but she will remain there, looming large. And she will not be moved. It won’t be long now. The time is quickly drawing near. Truth will remain on center stage. Truth will be firmly anchored and unable to be moved from center stage. And she will say, let the chips fall where they may.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord thank You that truth is present and will be made known in a big way. Thank You for hearing our prayers and thank You that justice will closely follow truth. Protect those who support and defend the truth, and cause righteousness and righteous leadership to be the expectation and the reality of the people once again.
- Declare, Because he who is blessed in the earth Will be blessed by the God of truth; And he who swears in the earth Will swear by the God of truth; Because the former troubles are forgotten, And because they are hidden from My sight!
Isaiah 65:16 NASB1995 - Decree, The Lord is moving the truth to center stage. She will not remain backstage in the wings forever. Manufactured delays are being secured and suffocated. And the truth will be the center of attention before long. All of the players on the scene will be there to support, defend and promote her, and her companion justice will swiftly follow after her.
