Psalm 25
Psalm 26
Psalm 27

When I come to your altar, Yahweh, I’ll be clean before you, approaching with songs of thanksgiving, singing songs of your mighty miracles. Yahweh, I love to live in your house, this dwelling place of dazzling glory!

Psalms‬ ‭26‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭TPT‬‬

I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Gaze upon My goodness. Let your heart be filled with an awareness of My Presence and with gratitude for My goodness. I Am perfection personified. I Am the real deal. Nothing is impossible with Me, through Me or for Me. Dwell on My majesty, and get a greater perspective on the world around you. As you magnify Me, all the other things fade away in comparison, in significance, in urgency. I have provided for you this up higher perch — this protected place to see things from My perspective, to worship Me in total surrender. Total surrender. This is the place of empowering. This is the place of commissioning. I can do much through a wholly surrendered vessel. I can do much with a totally obedient son and daughter.


There’s a private place reserved for the devoted lovers of Yahweh, where they sit near him and receive the revelation-secrets of his promises.

Psalms‬ ‭25‬:‭14‬ ‭TPT‬‬

The threshing has brought you here to My throne, to the foot of My throne. Hold on to nothing. Require nothing. Put no limitations and no requirements on Me. Just sit or bow in My Presence, and you will receive everything that you need. I know better. I know you better than you know yourself. I put every dream you have in your heart. Release them all to Me, and watch as I cause them to blossom and bear fruit in the most unexpected, bountiful, multiplicative way. Release your tight grasp of control. It’s only an illusion and a constraint. Your need for control puts a limit on, puts a damper on My miraculous wonder working power. Just lay it all bare in front of Me. Hold nothing back. Raise your hands in surrender, in worship and in purity. And watch as I transform your heart. Watch as I transform the landscape in front of you. Watch as I transform the pieces and the parts that you once held so firmly in your grip. If you’re not holding them, I can do something with them. Open up your whole life, your whole heart, your whole mind to Me. Withhold nothing. And watch how I do more with it, watch as I weave every beautiful and every seemingly out of place thread together into a beautiful tapestry that makes your dream come to life.


Here’s the one thing I crave from Yahweh, the one thing I seek above all else: I want to live with him every moment in his house, beholding the marvelous beauty of Yahweh, filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace. I want to contemplate in his temple. In the day of trouble, he will treasure me in his shelter, under the cover of his tent. He will lift me high upon a rock, out of reach from all my enemies who surround me. Triumphant now, I’ll bring him my offerings of praise, singing and shouting with ecstatic joy! Yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh! Hear my cry. Show me mercy, and send the help I need! I heard your voice in my heart say, “Come, seek my face;” my inner being responded, “Yahweh, I’m seeking your face with all my heart.”

Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭4‬-‭8‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Full surrender is where it begins. The foot of the altar, the foot of My throne is where it begins. Lay it all down before Me. Hide yourself in that up higher place I have reserved for you. And watch as through your abandoned worship, through your release of control and the need for things to look a certain way — watch as you let go of all of that, I will bring things and people and circumstances into your life that you could have never manufactured. This is beyond even prayer. This is the place of full and total surrender.


How to Respond

  • Retreat to the place of prayer and lay your life down in total surrender before the Lord as you worship Him. Hold nothing back. Require nothing from Him.
  • Pray, Holy Spirit guide me to that up higher place. Help me to see what I have been holding onto, what I have been demanding and requiring of You, what I have refused to surrender control of in my life. Help me to release these before You, surrendering all that I have and all that I am. Lord I desire that magnifying You and worshipping You in total abandon be the place where I want to spend my time above all others.
  • Declare, great is the Lord and worthy of all glory, honor and praise. He placed the stars in the sky and He knows them all by name. He fashioned the pillars of the Earth and set them into place, and He told the oceans how far they could go. My God is an awesome God. He is the self-existent One, the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
  • Decree, I surrender all. I hold nothing back, but step forward before the throne of the Most Holy God completely naked, completely abandoned with nothing in my hands. All I desire is to worship Him, to be in His Presence and to hear His voice. I will leave the rest up to Him, as I live in total surrender and total obedience.
