Today’s Reading:
Zechariah 8
““Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘I am exceedingly jealous for Zion, yes, with great wrath I am jealous for her.’ Thus says the Lord, ‘I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.’ Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Old men and old women will again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each man with his staff in his hand because of age. And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in its streets.’ Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘If it is too difficult in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be too difficult in My sight?’ declares the Lord of hosts.”
Zechariah 8:2-6 NASB1995
The Spirit of the Living God says,
I Am transforming the landscape. The playing field is changing. The rules of the game are shifting in your favor, in favor of those on the side of good and right and true. The judicial landscape is changing, and the balances are weighted heavily, supernaturally on the side of truth. The scales of justice will lean heavily to truth. I have put My finger on the scales of justice, and truth will prevail. Unrighteous judges and attorneys who are rotten to the core will be exposed on a world stage. Then I will throw the book at them.
““For thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Just as I purposed to do harm to you when your fathers provoked Me to wrath,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and I have not relented, so I have again purposed in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Do not fear! These are the things which you should do: speak the truth to one another; judge with truth and judgment for peace in your gates. Also let none of you devise evil in your heart against another, and do not love perjury; for all these are what I hate,’ declares the Lord.””
Zechariah 8:14-17 NASB1995
The book of My patience has run out on these wicked, flimsy, corrupt judges and these attorneys who are rotten to the core. It’s time to throw them on the compost heap and start afresh. It’s time for a crop of those who are firm, sturdy and true, who don’t waver in one direction and then the next, who don’t put their hand out for a bribe. It’s time for a fresh cleansing breeze of justice to blow in, and it’s time to put the rotten ones out like compost on the heap.
“Then the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘The fast of the fourth, the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth months will become joy, gladness, and cheerful feasts for the house of Judah; so love truth and peace.’ “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘It will yet be that peoples will come, even the inhabitants of many cities. The inhabitants of one will go to another, saying, “Let us go at once to entreat the favor of the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts; I will also go.” So many peoples and mighty nations will come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the Lord.’ Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘In those days ten men from all the nations will grasp the garment of a Jew, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.” ’ ””
Zechariah 8:18-23 NASB1995
Let excitement rise. Let anticipation rise. The sunlight of My favor, and the sunlight of My truth are shining on the righteous, are shining on the just, are changing the landscape and tipping the scales and the rules of the game heavily in favor of those who love Me. It’s like the game has changed. It’s a whole new game. The formations are different, the rules are different, but those in corruption, dishonesty and vulgarity haven’t noticed that the game has changed. They are still playing the old game by the old rules, and they will be caught out. This is an exposure campaign, and I’ve changed the rules of the game. Watch the sunlight of my favor and the bright, blinding light of truth shine heavily and brightly on My lovers. This win is for keeps. This game is for the winners. And I have shifted the landscape, the rules and the scales of justice heavily in your favor.
How to Respond
- Live in truth and purity. Keep your thoughts disciplined — cause each one to bow in obedience to Christ.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for seeing us in our troubles. Thank You for changing the rules of the game on the wicked. Thank You for caring that we have been bogged down and demoralized by pervasive injustice throughout our nation and the nations of the world. Expose and throw out the corrupt and wicked judges and attorneys and bring righteous, honorable pure ones —- lovers of You and lovers of truth and justice into the courtrooms again. Clean house Lord. Show us what do to in this new game and landscape where the playing field, the rules and the scales are tipped heavily in our favor. Help us to capitalize on that unapologetically and bring home many wins for righteousness.
- Declare, great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. He is the only righteous judge. The foundations of His throne are righteousness and justice. He will throw out the wicked, corrupt and flimsy judges and attorneys and replace them with solid, godly lovers of truth and justice who cannot be bought or intimidated.
- Decree, I am on the side of the Lord’s favor. I will see justice done and many in the justice system thrown out like old compost. I will feel the fresh wind of justice blow in, and I will see the Lord bring in a fresh crop of judges and attorneys who will execute His justice with a heart of wisdom and compassion — for the holistic and righteous benefit of the victims, the wrongdoers and all of society. I will see those on the side of right win, and that will become the new normal.
