Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 28
Isaiah 65
Therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed. I will make justice the measuring line And righteousness the level; Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies And the waters will overflow the secret place.
Isaiah 28:16-17 NASB1995
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Truth is in the atmosphere. It’s all around you like humidity just hanging in the air. Droplets and myriad countless droplets of truth are all suspended right there in the atmosphere, waiting for the time to come. They are fattening and waiting as the storm clouds gather, and they will join the downpour in a violent flush from the sky.
Everything, everywhere all at once. That’s how you’ll know the storm has come. It’ll be everything, everywhere, all at once. You thought Trump flooded the zone before now? You thought the news cycle was on turbo overdrive before mow? This will make your head swim. You will be stunned by the developments — one after another after another after the next.
Your covenant with death will be canceled, And your pact with Sheol will not stand; When the overwhelming scourge passes through, Then you become its trampling place. As often as it passes through, it will seize you; For morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night, And it will be sheer terror to understand what it means.” The bed is too short on which to stretch out, And the blanket is too small to wrap oneself in. For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon, To do His task, His unusual task, And to work His work, His extraordinary work.
Isaiah 28:18-21 NASB1995
The cries for justice have not been crazy ones or naive ones chasing rainbows. No. The cries for justice have risen up to Me, and I have heard every sob and lament. I have collected every tear in My jar, and these droplets of truth have been gathering and gathering and fattening in the atmosphere. I will bring a sudden squall that causes such a sudden violent, powerful downpour of truth, of justice, of evidence and of will. The people will not only see the treachery, but they will see the heart’s desire behind it. They will see the absolutely disgusting evil behind it. They will say, this was not the will of God. It was the design of evil intent birthed in the heart of a man in partnership with the devil. They will recognize that not only has evil taken place, but the evil was birthed from a decided will and motive and intent to do harm and not good, to destroy and not build, to mar and not make beautiful.
Behold, My servants will shout joyfully with a glad heart, But you will cry out with a heavy heart, And you will wail with a broken spirit. You will leave your name for a curse to My chosen ones, And the Lord God will slay you. But My servants will be called by another name. 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 65:14-16 NASB1995
It’s not just that the truth will come out in this absolutely staggering downpour and inestimable storm of justice, it’s that the intent of men’s hearts will be revealed for all to see. No questions will remain. No undecidedness will linger. The decision for those onlooking, the decision for all will be, do I love and treasure truth? Or will I stand here and justify evil now that I see it with no varnish, no veil and no mask? The truth will set you free. The truth will set the whole world free.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord, thank You that You miss nothing, and You know all that we have suffered and lost. Thank You waste nothing. Thank You that even what the enemy meant for harm in my life and in this nation and world, You can use for good. Lord, thank You that You have been allowing these droplets of truth to gather in the atmosphere, and You will cause a violent, mighty storm of revelation, justice and truth. You will cause not only facts but hearts’ intent to be seen by all. Thank You that Your day of reckoning is coming, and You will recompense Your people.
- Declare, The Lord says, “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing And her people for gladness. I will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people; And there will no longer be heard in her The voice of weeping and the sound of crying.”
— Isaiah 65:17-19 NASB1995 - Decree, The Lord’s justice storm is going to be bigger, more powerful and more violent in its delivery of truth than anyone could have ever conceived. I will side with the truth and the Lord of truth. Because the Lord Jesus is my rock and firm foundation, I will not be moved. I will praise the Lord for causing the full truth to be made known — including the hearts’ intentions of those involved. The Lord is bringing America and the world a very stark and unavoidable “choose this day whom you will serve” moment. As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
