Today’s Reading:
Hebrews 10
Hebrews 11
Psalm 42
So don’t lose your bold, courageous faith, for you are destined for a great reward! You need the strength of endurance to reveal the poetry of God’s will and then you receive the promise in full. For soon and very soon, “The One who is appearing will come without delay!” And he also says, “My righteous ones will live from my faith. But if fear holds them back, my soul is not content with them!” But we are certainly not those who are held back by fear and perish; we are among those who have faith and experience true life!
Hebrews 10:35-39 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Trust and obey. I’m taking you in to deep waters. I’m marching you out into deep waters. These are deep water days. These are days for the mature in spirit to live out in the deep. The days of wading, of standing in the waters, of ankle deep and knee deep, hip deep — those days have drawn to a close. It is time to come out in the deep and live and operate in the deep blue waters of My revelation, of power, of healing and the confrontation of evil.
And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who passionately seek him.
Hebrews 11:6 TPT
The sun has set on the days of building sand castles and doing childish things. These are day for those who have grown strong in Me to swim out in the deep and to reside there, to remain there. Once you go out into these deep waters, there’s no desire to turn back to the former make believe ways, the former childish and shallow things. The deep calls you further into the deep. And once you come out this way, there’s no turning back. You will find yourself steeped in revelation. You will see and experience things that you could never have fathomed in the shallow waters where your feet still touched the ground. My grace is drawing you out into the deep, and you will never be the same. You will become a titan of the deep as you rule and reign with Me. As you move and commune with Me out in these deep, dark blue waters, your faith will know no limits. Your view of the possible and impossible will be shattered and have no bounds. I made you to be a person of this level of limitless faith. You can only find it out here in the deep. Having the sand beneath your feet, having the safety of the shore constricts belief, because it diminishes the need for faith. But out here in the deep, all things are possible. And My Kingdom, My ways, My Words all are what I say they are. They are literal, and they will be established not there on the sandy shore. They will be established in you out here in the deep, deep waters, where there are no physical safety nets.
And if their hearts were still remembering what they left behind, they would have found an opportunity to go back. But they couldn’t turn back for their hearts were fixed on what was far greater, that is, the heavenly realm! So because of this God is not ashamed in any way to be called their God, for he has prepared a heavenly city for them.
Hebrews 11:15-16 TPT
It’s just you and Me. It’s just trust, and listen and obey. You are entering the most exhilarating days of your life. You are going to see and experience and do things for which you had no previous grid. And they will become your new way of life. The miraculous, the supernatural will become second nature to you. It starts with leaving the the comfort and safety of the shoreline behind and marching directly with Me out into the deep blue waters. We’re in a new time.
How to Respond
- Let go of your ways, plans and understanding and allow the Lord to move you into a new, much deeper place with Him.
- Pray, Holy Spirit You have my yes. Take me where You want me to go. I desire the deeper place of revelation, of communion, of authority, power and the confrontation of evil. I will not insist on holding on to the safety of the shore. I will go to the place the Lord is calling spiritual warriors — out into the deep.
- Declare, My deep need calls out to the deep kindness of your love. Your waterfall of weeping sent waves of sorrow over my soul, carrying me away, cascading over me like a thundering cataract. All through the day Yahweh has commanded his endless love to pour over me. Through the night I sing his songs and my praises to the living God.
Psalms 42:7-8 TPT - Decree, I will not continue with the shallow things and the safe things of the Spirit. I am leaving those behind to follow the Lord way out into the deep blue waters. I desire the revelation, power, healing, authority and even the offensive confrontation of evil. My life from this point forward will be marked by the miraculous.
