Today’s Reading:
Psalm 24
“God claims the world as his. Everything and everyone belong to him! He’s the one who pushed back oceans to let the dry ground appear, planting firm foundations for the earth.”
Psalms 24:1-2 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
It’s time for the Church to abandon its lovers, its compromise and return to its first love. It’s time to return to the rock from which you were hewn and remember who you are, whose you are and why you are here. You’re not mean to look like the world. You’re not meant to smell like the world. You are supposed to carry an otherworldly fragrance. You are suppose to carry the fragrance of no compromise, of a singular lover, of purity so pure that it causes the world to wonder, it causes the world to ask questions, it causes the world to desire what you have.
“Who, then, is allowed to ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who has the privilege of entering into God’s Holy Place? Those who are clean—whose works and ways are pure, whose hearts are true and sealed by the truth, those who never deceive, whose words are sure. They will receive Yahweh’s blessing and righteousness given by the Savior-God. They will stand before God, for they seek the pleasure of God’s face, the God of Jacob. Pause in his presence”
Psalms 24:3-6 TPT
The compromise of the Church will be burned up this year. It will be laid bare this year. It will be written about in headlines this year. Those who preferred fame and notoriety over the purity of a consecrated life lived at My feet will have their day in headlines. Those whose true longing was for fame and public fawning will have their pictures on the front pages of newspapers. Those who fancy themselves tv stars instead of shepherds whose call is to guide, protect and feed the flock will have their red carpet life pulled out from beneath their feet. The time for compromise is through. The time for compromise being front and center and permeating the Church is through. This is a year that will be marked by a return to purity, to consecration, to devoted love, to repentance and to the pure and simple Gospel. Comprise will be exposed. Compromise will be removed unceremoniously and publicly, and compromise will be burned up before the eyes of the world.
“So wake up, you living gateways! Lift up your heads, you doorways of eternity! Welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through you. You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, Yahweh, invincible in every way! So wake up, you living gateways, and rejoice! Fling wide, you eternal doors! Here he comes; the King of Glory is ready to come in. You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” He is Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, the invincible commander of heaven’s hosts! Yes, he is the King of Glory! Pause in his presence”
Psalms 24:7-10 TPT
Ask for the tidal wave of My glory. Ask for exposure to come and cleanse the Church. Ask and repent and return to the essential, simple truth of Christ crucified, resurrected and reigning as King; to His Kingdom come, His will being done on earth as it is in Heaven. Return to the foundational principles and leave the filth and confusion of compromise behind. Justification is an indication of compromise. If you have to justify something in your heart or with your words, compromise is likely lurking. The pure requires no explanation and no justification.
This is a year that will be marked by compromise being ushered out of the Church. This is a year in which purity, consecration and dedicated service returns to this body whose job it is to push back the gates of hell and bring the Kingdom of God, to Earth as it is in Heaven. This is not a time for lukewarm Christianity. You will see Me spit that out of My mouth this year. The time for compromise is through.
How to Respond
- Sit with the Lord and ask Him to examine your heart and life. Ask Him to highlight for you any areas of sin and compromise. Agree with His assessment and rid yourself of those. Repent and walk in purity.
- Pray, Holy Spirit come. Examine me. Show me the places of compromise in my life, so I can root them out. Help me to live consecrated to You, with nothing lurking in my heart that is not of You. I want my life to be tightly aligned to Your Word, so I can live in total freedom and be busy about Your business. Thank You that You are exposing and ridding the Church of compromise this year Lord. We know that all creation groans to see the revealing of the true sons and daughters of God. This is a year of that revealing.
- Declare, the Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness therein. Our God is flaming fire. He is absolutely holy, absolutely pure, and absolutely good. His works of exposure, taking down impure leaders and destroying compromise in the Church is because of His love for the Church and the world who needs to see the power of the Gospel that can only be revealed through a purified, sanctified, set apart Church.
- Decree, I will not bow to compromise. I will not falter, waver or be shaken. I shall not be moved. I will walk in purity, in quick repentance. I will bow only to the Lord my God, because He is holy, and He is the only one who could save me and has saved me. I will see the remnant Church rise from the ashes of compromise in purity and consecration to the Most Holy God this year.
