Today’s Reading:
Psalm 33
Psalm 91
Jeremiah 33
“Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With a long life I will satisfy him And let him see My salvation.”
Psalms 91:14-16 NASB1995
I heard the Spirit of the Living God of Truth say,
It’s hard to see and understand what’s going on, but you can see that we are in the storm. You know that the storm has begun. This is a low visibility time in the natural, but you can see with sparkling clarity in the spirit. I have invited you to this up-higher place with Me, where you can see clearly from My perspective. Even above the storm and down through the storm, you will be able to perceive and know where we are in the storm and what’s taking place. I have not relegated you to the life of ground warfare where you only understand that which is immediately your instruction and have no greater context. I’ve invited you into this up-higher place next to Me where you can see the big picture and even understand fine details of some of the things that are transpiring down below.
Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
Psalms 33:8-12 NASB1995
This is the time to live in and by divine intel. What you hear on the ground may be altogether wrong or even just insufficient for the way I Am calling you to move and operate. You can’t choose your tactics or make plans on the ground. You must come up-higher and receive My strategies, My wisdom and even My tactical instruction for how to proceed down below. This is a very strategic war time. This is a time of great deception by both sides. This is a time where missteps can be deadly. You must hear from Heaven. You must draw on Heaven, on My voice to know how to proceed. Don’t be fooled like the Israelites were by the Gibeonites. Take everything to the Lord in prayer. This is not a time for the old ways of hand wringing in prayer. This is a time of war. This is a time to be very clear on what you are asking and respond in total and immediate obedience when you receive the answer. I will not delay.
Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it, the Lord is His name, ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
Jeremiah 33:2-6 NASB1995
This is a time to be like Gideon. Put out your fleece before me, and proceed with the answer. Don’t expect delayed answers. They are not your portion. I Am the Commander who commands all battlefields at once. Don’t be in unbelief that I will not answer. Don’t presuppose that I will delay My Word. This is a time of intense warfare, of low ground visibility. It’s a time to stay in prayer. It’s a time to stay up-higher. It’s a time to stay busy about the work You know I have called you to do. Don’t proceed without My instruction. Only proceed once you have received divine intel. My timing and instruction are perfect. Stay in lockstep with Me.
How to Respond
- Remain in a posture of close connection to the Lord in prayer and worship.
- Pray, Holy Spirit help me to hear Your voice more clearly than ever. I want to live in that up-higher place with You where I receive understanding, see with great clarity and understand what it is I am supposed to do. Thank You that You provide divine intel, that You are instructing and guiding us through this low visibility season. Thank You that we have the ultimate edge in this war, because You are the Commander who sees all, knows all and commands every battlefield at once.
- Declare, the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous. And His ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord is against evildoers, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. (Psalm 35:15-16)
- Decree, I am a soldier in the Lord’s army. He goes before me and fights my battles. He provides every winning strategy. I will live in the up-higher place in prayer with Him, and I will move at the sound of His voice and with the download of His divine intel.
