Today’s Reading:
John 14
John 15
”“Loving me empowers you to obey my commands. And I will ask the Father and he will give you another Savior, the Holy Spirit of Truth, who will be to you a friend just like me—and he will never leave you. The world won’t receive him because they can’t see him or know him. But you know him intimately because he remains with you and will live inside you.“
John 14:15-17 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
Wrap yourself up in the wonder of Me. Delight in Me. Crown Me as Lord of your life. Crown Me as the one in whom you trust and believe. Crown Me as King of your heart, and worship without ceasing. Can you see that worship opens the pathway to My heart? Can you see that worship brings healing balm to your soul? Worship is more than a song. It is a posture. It is a heart condition. It comes from the overflow. It comes from the overflow of love, delight and awe. That’s the place from which worship pours out. It can be seen in song. It can be seen in acts of kindness. It can be seen in the way you respond in situations and bring the fruits of the spirit with you wherever you go.
”Those who truly love me are those who obey my commands. Whoever passionately loves me will be passionately loved by my Father. And I will passionately love him in return and will reveal myself to him.”“
John 14:21 TPT
Let My love be apparent in your life. Let My love be the hallmark of your life. Let it pour out of you generously, and watch as My favor, My blessings and My grace rush out to meet the outpouring of My love from you. A stingy heart gets a stingy return. A hidden, protected heart that shies away from life, from outreach, from love gets a very stingy return. But one who lavishly pours out My love from an open and vulnerable heart lives in the flow and continual cycle of love, goodness and blessing returning to you. Pour out as one rich, ultra rich in My love, and watch how My love multiplies and returns to you in the cycle.
”“I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless. If a person is separated from me, he is discarded; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire to be burned. But if you live in life-union with me and if my words live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done. When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are my mature disciples who glorify my Father!“
John 15:5-8 TPT
As you pour out lavishly, much more will be poured out into your life and lap. This is the economy of My Kingdom. My Kingdom always brings a a positive return. As you pour out and what you pour out will be exceeded by what is returned. Delight in Me. Pour out My great love lavishly and abundantly, and you will see it come right back into your life.
How to Respond
- Stir up a heart of humility, and worship, delight and live in awe of the Lord.
- Pray, Lord thank You that the economy of Your Kingdom is different than that of the natural realm. Thank You that I can’t out-give You. Thank You for abundantly supplying all I need for life and godliness. Help me to live in a manner worthy of my calling. Help my life to reflect Your goodness, Your mercy, Your compassion and Your grace.
- Declare, The Lord is good, and His steadfast love endures forever.
- Decree, Thank You for Your system of sowing and reaping. I will sow abundant love and the fruits of the Spirit, and I will see them return to me in greater measure.
