Today’s Readings:
Isaiah 54
Psalm 31
Matthew 3:12
There’s a private place reserved for the lovers of God, where they sit near him and receive the revelation-secrets of his promises.
Psalm 25:14
Who Is the Lord?
The Lord says,
My story. My Word. My history. My people. My plan.
My story is beautiful.
My Word is unchanging.
My history reveals My true nature as the God of love and the absolutely good God.
My people are imperfect.
My plan is perfect and unfailing.
I Am a good, good, absolutely good God.
My Word I have put higher than My Name.
My Word is truth.
My Word is My bond.
My Name reflects My nature.
My history reveals that I Am the God who saves.
I Am the God with a plan for the salvation, for the rescue, for the redemption of My people.
And I Am Mighty to save.
I have done it before, a thousand times over.
And I will do it again. It is who I Am.
I Am the One who saves, who rescues, who makes all things new.
Look at My history, and you will see it.
My people are imperfect in many ways and all over the map. But those who are yielded to Me, those who have partnered with Me and humbled themselves before Me – to these I have given paths, have opened paths and doors of great exploits, of pushing back and cutting off the enemy from power, of delivering cities and regions and nations.
I have made My people to be free. And they will taste and live and operate in freedom again.
Sowing & Reaping – Harvest Time
The Lord says,
The principle of sowing and reaping IS My government.
The wicked have sown evil and they will reap destruction. I Am moving to burn down their fields, their vast and numerous fields. I Am moving to burn them to the ground. And the fields of the wicked will be desolate.
The harvest of My faithful ones, of the ones who have been sowing in tears and prayers and prophecies, declarations, obedience, acts of kindness, in the reading of My Word, in listening to My voice and in faithfulness – these will reap a harvest of a thousand fold. This will be a victory harvest. This will be a freedom harvest. This will be a revival harvest, an answered prayer harvest. This is the harvest of breakthrough that My faithful ones have been contending for. It is a double harvest. It is an explosively bountiful harvest. The wicked will reap first. The harvest of the wicked will be destruction, and that harvest brings freedom for many. The two harvests are closely tied together, because the sowing has reached a point of fullness, and it is harvest time.
Greater are those who are with us than those who are against us. (2 Kings 6:16) Perhaps the sowing of the wicked has been happening longer and has been accelerating, but the numbers and the depth and the urgency and consistency of the sowing of the faithful has overshadowed it. The two harvests are tied together. The harvest of the wicked will come first. And the bountiful, glorious, joyous, unending harvest of the faithful will make many days seem like noontime. The sun will not go down on the the joy, the celebration, the thanksgiving. The overflow of hearts will not lessen. It will shine like noontime for many days. The victory will be great, the victory will be unmatched. Clearly and unmistakably, the victory will be at the Hand of the Lord.
Healing & Creativity
The Lord says,
The harvests will come so healing can begin. The scorched earth of the fields of the wicked, the land, the territory cultivated by the wicked, it will not be left desolate. I will bring beauty from those ashes. I will give that territory to My faithful ones. The land once held by people of evil, the industries, the places in society, the rank and the stature of those who cultivated evil – will be given over to the faithful. And the faithful in the Lord will rise and grow and prosper – will have influence and a name, and a voice. They will have respect and bring honor to these industries and to these places of society that that have been filled with darkness and death and rot and decay. What was hollow will now have fullness, will now have depth and life and purity behind it.
The time that we have been in – in the creative industries – of repeating old movies, remixing old songs – these days are done. It’s a new day. It’s time for a new expression. I will bring a new expression and a new sound, new songs, and these will flourish. The entertainment of now – the filth, the lack of creativity shows the devil’s hand at play. He is not creative, so those who are with him – those operating under his authority have limitations in their creativity. I Am the Father of inventions, creativity and ideas. And I am birthing a new thing in this hour. It will be a creative Renaissance – not just for entertainment but in all industries. There will be a bumper crop of creativity in this harvest. And it is from Me. And it will further distinguish the previous times, the former times from the new times. It truly is a new era. It is My Glorious Era.
The Sound of the Presence of the Lord
The Lord says,
I am making music come out of the hearts of My people. This music is the sound of worship that comes up to Heaven and echoes across the universe. This song is evidence of My connection to My people and their connection to Me. It’s a harmonious circle, it’s evidence of communion. And communication. It’s a vibration in their hearts that brings reassurance of Me, of salvation, of their place in Me. And if they tug on it, they will recognize My nearness. I Am not far away, I Am near. I Am near and I Am reminding My people of My Presence. I Am making them have a greater awareness of My Presence, My reality. I Am not a figment of their imagination. I Am more real than the air that they breathe. And I Am filling their hearts with this recognition, with My proof, with Me.
Come, sit, dwell with Me. Close your eyes and ask Me to show you the song I’ve put in your heart. It may or may not have words. But you can feel it, you can sense it, and you may even be able to hear it.
This is the sound of My Presence. Tune into it. Soon you will learn how to tap into it at all times, and the sound, the reality of My Presence will not diminish but will continue to be evident and and within reach at all times. The sound of My Presence will surround you. It will be a source of great comfort and peace. It will drown out the noise and the chaos and confusion. It will push out the the chaos within. It will turn down the volume on the chaos within. And it will be stronger, will supersede the chaos within and the chaos without.
Be still and know that I Am God. That I Am with you, that I Am for you. Sit with Me and cultivate the space for Me. Tune and sharpen your ears to hear the sound of My Presence. I Am here. And My Presence will bring great comfort and peace. In My presence is fullnesss of joy.
I say, peace, be still, and tap into the peace of My Presence. It will make your heart full, your smile wide and your eyes bright with the light of me.
I Am making a way. But for now, sit with Me. Listen for Me. Make room for Me. And let everything else fall away. In My Presence is wisdom. Here is where you will get the answers to quiet the chaos and the big questions in your heart. Don’t look at them, look at Me. I Am the answer and I have the answer.
Those who tune into My Presence will radiate, will be radiant like the sun. The light of My Presence, the reflection of My Glory will have a physical and spiritual manifestation. People will be drawn to your light – because they feel My pure love in you, and because they are curious about why you are shining. You can tell them. Tell them it’s because of Me in you. It is the light of My Glory shining from you. And they will want to know more. And you can tell them.
