Today’s Reading:
Zechariah 4
Acts 1
Acts 2
Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”
Zechariah 4:6-7 NASB1995
The Spirit of the Living God of Grace says,
Grace is penetrating people’s hearts and shining through it. My grace is hitting people’s hearts, penetrating people’s hearts — bringing to them and through them the Spirit of Might, prophecy and redemption. This is a power infusion. This is the time of the power infusions from Christ the King. Holy Spirit is on a power mission, and He is shooting hearts with the grace for power, the grace for might, the grace for boldness of lions, the grace for words of prophecy and the great grace of redemption.
He answered, “The Father is the one who sets the fixed dates and the times of their fulfillment. You are not permitted to know the timing of all that he has prepared by his own authority. But I promise you this—the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and you will be seized with power. You will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces —even to the remotest places on earth!
Acts 1:7-8 TPT
You will prophesy in power. You will speak the truth in boldness. You will roar with the roar of a mighty one who knows the truth, lives in truth and will never back down. You will speak directly to hearts about redemption, and you will see many fall to their knees in prayer, in repentance, in relief and in worship. Illusion will be broken by the power of My Spirit. Intrigue will fall on the people and then a great gnawing desire. Their intrigue, their curiosity and their great hunger is for Me, for redemption, for power, for strength, for prophecy. They are not hungering for or curious about a powerless gospel. They want the truth in power. They want to see the Hand of Almighty God at work. They want purity in motion. They want to see boldness that causes cancer to drop out of bodies, opens blind eyes and raises the lame from wheelchairs. They want to see boldness and purity that make the dead rise and cause the mute to sing songs of praise to Christ the King.
This is the fulfillment of what was prophesied through the prophet Joel, for God says: ‘This is what I will do in the last days —I will pour out my Spirit on everybody and cause your sons and daughters to prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will experience dreams from God. The Holy Spirit will come upon all my servants, men and women alike, and they will prophesy. I will reveal startling signs and wonders in the sky above and mighty miracles on the earth below. Blood and fire and pillars of clouds will appear. For the sun will be turned dark and the moon blood-red before that great and awesome appearance of the day of the Lord. But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Acts 2:16-21 TPT
The time for a powerless gospel is through. It’s time for My lovers to rise up with the boldness of lions. Today I Am infusing you with power from on high. Today I Am putting the breath into your lungs to speak life, to heal, to command and to raise. The time for weak-willed Christianity and quiet pew sitting is through. These are the days of awakening. And the awakening is marked with power. Hear Me now — the past is through. This is a new day marked with power. Fresh anointing is here, and it is an anointing as if by lighting. This is not a gentle anointing like the ones you know. The power anointing comes by power. Don’t be surprised if it drops many to the ground in shock at the direct hit of My power on their lives. Be willing to drop. This is a great thing. This is what you have been greatly desiring. This is the answer to your prayers.
How to Respond
- Yield to the Spirit —whatever He is doing, saying or imparting into your life. Be an open vessel for Him.
- Pray, Holy Spirit have Your way. I am so happy to leave the old ways behind. I desire to see and operate in Your power to heal the sick, cast out demons, prophesy in power, raise the dead and bring hearts to life through Jesus.
- Declare, the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts.
- Decree, I will yield to the move of the Spirit. I will see and experience Holy Spirit’s power strikes as He anoints many, as He pours out His Spirit in power on all flesh. I will move with the impulses of the Spirit in power that has not been experienced in many generations. I live in the time and place where the Lord is returning His people to the original power of the Gospel of His Kingdom through Christ Jesus. I will see many healed at my command. I will cast out demons with my words. I will raise the dead to life and bring many to redemption in Christ Jesus. I will not shy away from the power of the Gospel. Jesus is the One True King.
