Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 26
Isaiah 33
Matthew 3
Yes, trust in the Lord Yahweh forever and ever! For Yah, the Lord God, is your Rock of Ages! He knocks down the high and mighty, and the lofty city he humbles and levels down to the dust, to be trampled down by the feet of the poor and exploited.” The path of the righteous is smooth and level; God, the Just One, you make a clear path for them. Yes, we will follow your ways, Lord Yahweh, and entwine our hearts with yours, for the fame of your name is all that we desire.
Isaiah 26:4-8 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Giants will fall from high places, from mountain tops, and they will be sudden, quick and powerfully decisive falls. Praise is the key. Praise brings the breakthrough. Praise causes their pedestals made of lies and theft to crumble. And so they will fall decisively, rapidly, suddenly from their lofty perches atop the mountains. Breakthrough is here for My people. It will come at a great cost for the wicked. Those who have lied, lived in and promoted perversion, those who have deceived, thieved and propped themselves up as honorable will have a sudden fall. The platform on which they stand will fail them, and they will fall suddenly, decisively and in full view of the public.
“You who are far away, listen to what I have done, and you who draw near to me, acknowledge my power and strength! Sinners in Zion are afraid, and the godless are gripped with panic, saying, ‘Who can dwell with such an all-consuming fire? Who can live in the presence of the never-ending flame?’ Only those who walk with integrity and speak what is true, who despise even the thought of cheating the poor, and do not accept a bribe, nor plot violence, nor contemplate doing evil — they will live safely on the heights and make their safe place the mountain strongholds, with bread in steady supply and water assured.”
Isaiah 33:13-16 TPT
This is the season when kings go out to war, and this is the season when you will see MANY giants fall. This is not just one Goliath. It is a multitude of Goliaths who will meet their fate — whose names, reputations, careers and families will be exposed to and reviled by the people forever. No way of return exists for these Goliaths, these revolting vile creatures who have blasphemed the Name of the Lord God Most High and who have stood in their lofty towers, on their lofty perches, in their comfortable seats of power and have birthed destruction in the hearts of My people. They will now be the ones to say, “who can withstand the fire?” The rage of the people will burn against them along with My wrath, and they shall not stand. They shall not give voice to their lies and spew their venom any longer.
And don’t presume you can get away with merely saying to yourselves, ‘But we’re Abraham’s descendants!’ For I tell you, God can awaken these stones to become sons of Abraham! The axe is now ready to cut down the trees at their very roots. Every fruitless, rotten tree will be chopped down and thrown into the fire. Those who repent I baptize with water, but there is coming a man after me who is more powerful than I. In fact, I’m not even worthy enough to pick up his sandals. He will submerge you into union with the Spirit of Holiness and with a raging fire! He comes with a winnowing fork in his hands and comes to his threshing floor to sift what is worthless from what is pure. And he is ready to sweep out his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his granary, but the straw he will burn up with a fire that can’t be extinguished!
Matthew 3:9-12 TPT
This is the time of many giants falling. Some will seem to fall without prompting, without men’s hands, without warning. It is by My Hand. It is by My angelic host. It is through your praise. Your praise will cause giants to fall, and I will be the axe that strikes them at the root. My axe will be a resounding response to your mighty weapons of praise. This is a time for singing. This is a time for warring with songs of worship, praise, thanksgiving and resurrection. This is a time of boldly speaking and singing testimonies of the goodness and faithfulness of the Living God. This is a time when kings go out to war, and this is a time when you will see countless giants fall.
How to Respond
- Worship and commune with the Lord continually. Set reminders to help you get in the habit.
- Pray, Lord, thank You that we are in the season of giants falling. Thank You for inviting us to participate in the war against the ones who have warred against us and brought so much destruction. Put Your songs in my mouth Lord. Bring to mind Your testimonies, and help me to boldly speak them. When I see giants fall, I want to know that my praise and my testimony helped to bring them down.
- Declare, Here he comes! The Commander! The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side. The God of Jacob fights for us! — Matthew 3:7
- Decree, I will war with my spiritual weapons of praise and testimony. I will stay in unbroken communion with the Lord my God, and as I do, breakthrough will come. Giants will fall. And the wrath of the people and the Lord will come against the giants who deceived, thieved and brought such perversion and destruction into our midst. This is the season when kings go out to war, and all will see many wicked giants fall.
