Today’s Reading:
Psalm 68
Romans 5
Our faith in Jesus transfers God’s righteousness to us and he now declares us flawless in his eyes. This means we can now enjoy true and lasting peace with God, all because of what our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, has done for us. Our faith guarantees us permanent access into this marvelous kindness that has given us a perfect relationship with God. What incredible joy bursts forth within us as we keep on celebrating our hope of experiencing God’s glory!
Romans 5:1-2 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Righteousness is sprouting from the ground. The essence of righteousness is rising too. It’s being released into the Earth. My heart has desired a righteous remnant, and I have found it. I have found a righteous remnant, and even now more are joining its ranks. The essence of righteousness is being released into, being birthed in the Earth. And these newly born of righteousness glisten with truth in the light of My love. They yearn to be closer to Me, to experience more of My love, My light and My truth. These newly birthed righteous ones are hungry. Those old appetites can only be satisfied by Me.
Death once held us in its grip, and by the blunder of one man, death reigned as king over humanity. But now, how much more are we held in the grip of grace and continue reigning as kings in life, enjoying our regal freedom through the gift of perfect righteousness in the one and only Jesus, the Messiah! In other words, just as condemnation came upon all people through one transgression, so through one righteous act of Jesus’ sacrifice, the perfect righteousness that makes us right with God and leads us to a victorious life is now available to all.
Romans 5:17-18 TPT
These newly born righteous ones have voracious appetites, and they hunger and thirst for Me. They carry the dew of Heaven, and those who experience them in their new birth say that their fragrance is that of another world. These young, new seedlings of righteousness will administrate Heaven on Earth. They will be ones who administer justice through My great love here on Earth. Some will say, “but they’re too young!” And yet I say, these young ones I hold very close to My heart. They can hear My heartbeat even though they are learning, growing and immature. They are very sensitive to My movements, to My promptings, and the voice of the stranger they will not follow.
I hear the Lord God saying to all the enemies of his people, “You’d better come out of your hiding places, all of you who are doing your best to stay far away from me. Don’t you know there’s no place to hide? For my people will be the conquerors; they will soon have you under their feet. They will crush you until there is nothing left!” O God, my King, your triumphal processions keep moving onward in holiness; you’re moving onward toward the Holy Place! Leaders in front, then musicians, with young maidens in between, striking their tambourines. And they sing, “Let all God’s princely people rejoice! Let all the congregations bring their blessing to God, saying, ‘The Lord of the fountain! The Lord of the fountain of life! The Lord of the fountain of Israel!’ ” Astonishingly, it’s the favored youth leading the way: princes of praise in their royal robes and exalted princes are among them, along with princes who have wrestled with God.
Psalms 68:22-27 TPT
This is the time of the old being made new, and the very young in Me will be made to administrate justice. The mature will teach, nurture and guide, and they will also be sensitive to My touch and promptings. They will get out of the way of these young ones as they administrate Heaven on Earth, as they release My justice in fresh, creative and decisive ways. Justice will not look the way it once did. Justice will look reinvented and new, and the youth will lead the way. The mature will set proper guardrails and release instruction and be wise sounding boards. The young and the mature in Me will be braided together as one, united in love, in vision and guided together by My Spirit. Together through them justice will come.
How to Respond
- Ask the Lord to continue to make you more sensitive to the guiding of His Spirit. This requires quick and full obedience on your part.
- Pray, Lord, thank You for birthing and multiplying righteousness in the Earth. Thank You that even the essence of righteousness is being released in the world right now. Show me my place in this righteous remnant that You have found. I want to be woven together in unity with those who love You and draw near to You. I want to be part of the team who administrates Heaven on Earth and administers justice from Your heart.
- Declare, I know your power and presence shines on all your lovers. Your glory always hovers over all who bow low before you.
— Psalm 85:9 - Decree, I will draw nearer to the Lord. I will listen to His promptings and have eyes to see the righteousness that He is causing to sprout forth now. I will listen to His voice and obey. I will not stand in the way of the new work the Lord is doing. I will not be offended by the young in Him rising up to take their place in bringing Heaven to Earth and administering justice in a new way. I will celebrate the new ones emerging, and I will mentor and disciple them in the Lord.
