Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 61
9 Then their offspring will be known among the nations,
Isaiah 61:9-11
And their descendants in the midst of the peoples.
All who see them will recognize them
Because they are the offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
10 I will rejoice greatly in the Lord,
My soul will exult in my God;
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
To spring up before all the nations.
The Spirit of the Lord says,
I Am chasing down My anointed ones to bless them. It’s time for a fresh outpouring. It’s time for a new grace gift. It’s time to be arrested by My glory and overwhelmed with My impartation, favor and mercy-kindness. This is a time of stunning favor. My grace is sufficient to carry you to the new day of My blessing. My grace is sufficient to position you under hidden fountains of My outpouring. My grace has pre-positioned you, has pre-positioned vessels to receive an outpouring of fresh anointing, of blessing, of outrageous favor and of grace gifts like the world has never known. They will saturate your life. They will cause you to be drenched with My favor and glory. They will make you known as the sons and the daughters who are blessed.
4 Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins,
Isaiah 61:4-8
They will raise up the former devastations;
And they will repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
5 Strangers will stand and pasture your flocks,
And foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers.
6 But you will be called the priests of the Lord;
You will be spoken of as ministers of our God.
You will eat the wealth of nations,
And in their riches you will boast.
7 Instead of your shame you will have a double portion,
And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.
Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,
Everlasting joy will be theirs.
8 For I, the Lord, love justice,
I hate robbery in the burnt offering;
And I will faithfully give them their recompense
My grace has pulled you out of your ordinary way. It has changed your station and stance. It has prepared and pre-positioned you for an outrageous outpouring that will saturate your life and even your clothes. This blessing is for you to carry healing. This outpouring is for you to be authentic representations and carriers of My love. This outpouring comes with heavy, weighty, powerful authority that will surprise you as it stirs and takes residence inside of you, and it will startle you as you use it — when it leaves your lips. I have built the structures inside of you in this time of wilderness and trial. You have the strength and integrity inside of you now to carry and be home to such authority. You could not have carried it any other way. The authority which I Am imparting will cast out demons with a word, and it will look and seem as if they were blasted out of place by great force, by a great wind, by a great explosion. They will have been.
61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
Isaiah 61:1-3
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;
2 To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
3 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.
The authority I Am imparting is very unfamiliar to the world, but they will recognize it for what it is immediately. And all who need healing, all who need mending, all who need spiritual cleansing will seek out My anointed ones who have been clothed, drenched, saturated with My authority and power. These are rescue vessels of My healing. They will carry great mercy in their touch. I Am sending them out on great healing campaigns. I Am sending you out on great healing campaigns to a lost and broken world who will look very different to you soon. Your eyes will be opened to the reality of their brokenness. You will see it as clearly as if they were walking around with broken limbs. The nature and the cause of their suffering will be plain to you, and you will have the gifting, the authority and the power to heal them. Things have shifted.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord have Your way with me. Thank You that You have had a plan and You have known how to make something beautiful and redemptive out of all of these trials and sufferings and struggles. Lord, show me where to be and what to do. I want to be a vessel of Your healing and mercy-kindness. I want to be drenched and saturated with Your blessing, favor and grace gifts that are unfamiliar to this world. Thank You Lord for shifting things, for chasing me down, and for pre-positioning me for Your outpouring.
- Declare, these are days of a great outpouring of the Lord’s favor, grace, anointing, authority, power and healing.
- Decree, I will be a force alongside my brothers and sisters against which the gates of hell will not prevail. I will rise up in new authority and power. I will go out on healing campaigns to the lost, broken and downtrodden as the Lord directs. I will not stand on the sidelines. I will be one who stands under the hidden fountains of the Lord’s blessing, and I will receive His power and authority from on high to reach those desperately in need of Him.
