Today’s Reading:
Psalm 24
Psalm 27
Who, then, is allowed to ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who has the privilege of entering into God’s Holy Place? Those who are clean—whose works and ways are pure, whose hearts are true and sealed by the truth, those who never deceive, whose words are sure. They will receive Yahweh’s blessing and righteousness given by the Savior-God. They will stand before God, for they seek the pleasure of God’s face, the God of Jacob. Pause in his presence
Psalms 24:3-6 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Truth in the inner chambers. I’m looking for truth in the inner chambers. I’m looking for ones with clean hands and clean lips. I’m looking for purity in the innermost being. These are the days for My holy ones to arise. It’s time to arise and shine. It’s time to rise and ascend the holy mountain of the Lord. It’s time to come out of the hidden places and be seen as bright lights shining amidst the darkness, as ones whose lights pierce through and dispel the inkiest darkness of night.
So wake up, you living gateways! Lift up your heads, you doorways of eternity! Welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through you. You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, Yahweh, invincible in every way! So wake up, you living gateways, and rejoice! Fling wide, you eternal doors! Here he comes; the King of Glory is ready to come in. You ask, “Who is this King of Glory?” He is Yahweh, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, the invincible commander of heaven’s hosts! Yes, he is the King of Glory! Pause in his presence
Psalms 24:7-10 TPT
The time for my holy ones to arise is come. It’s time for My beautiful, pure, childlike ones who are warriors of great faith to move forward in boldness, in humility with great power of spirit and gentleness of heart. It’s time to unleash My warrior lions whose innermost chambers are pure, humble, childlike and true. The days of My fierce ones who love Me and long to sit and dwell in My Presence — it’s time for their revealing. It’s time for the world to see that My true lovers are not running scared, are not hypocrites, are not weak-kneed, but they are fierce warriors whose hearts are soft, whose ways are gentle, pure and true. They will no longer be stepped upon, will no longer be tread upon, will no longer be the tail but have risen as the head — ready to strike the enemy, ready to tear down strongholds and ready to advance into this new land I have set before them.
Yahweh is my revelation-light and the source of my salvation. I fear no one! I’ll never turn back and run, for you, Yahweh, surround and protect me. When evil ones come to destroy me, they will be the ones who turn back. My heart will not fear even if an army rises to attack. I will not be shaken, even if war is imminent. 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.
Psalms 27:1-4 TPT
These are the days when My warriors arise. These are the days when gentle-hearted, pure warriors of power, ferocious in faith arise and dismantle the works and ways of darkness. This is that time. These are those days. Rise and shine My warrior lovers. It’s time to advance and battle. It’s time to occupy and win. It’s time to take the hill country back from the hands of the unworthy. It’s time to raze them with such finality that none will question their defeat. It’s time to take the hill country.
How to Respond
- Trust the Lord, and obey His instruction and prompting quickly and fully.
- Pray, Holy Spirit search me, and purify my heart. I want to be one whose heart is pure, whose hands and lips are clean. Prepare me for battle, and help me to understand the role and assignment You have for me. I want to be who You’ve called me to be, where You’ve called me to be doing the work You’ve called me to do.
- Declare, Now then, give me this hill country about which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the Lord will be with me, and I will drive them out as the Lord has spoken. — Joshua 14:12 NASB1995
- Decree, I will keep my heart, hands and lips pure. I will live in holiness, and I will rise and shine amidst great darkness. I will not shrink back from the assignment the Lord has given me. I will rise up in boldness and great faith to be where He called me to be, doing what He’s called me to do.
