Today's Reading:
Psalm 5
1 Corinthians 2
But I know that you will welcome me into your house, for I am covered by your covenant of mercy and love. So I come to your sanctuary with deepest awe to bow in worship and adore you. Yahweh, lead me in the pathways of your pleasure just like you promised me you would, or else my enemies will conquer me. Smooth out your road in front of me, straight and level, so that I will know where to walk.
Psalms 5:7-8 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God and Lover of My Soul say,
My grace will blow away every expectation for good that you have. My grace is powerfully being blown out, rolled out like a massive weighty red carpet before you. Trust your footing. Keep on walking. Don’t get hung up, distracted or delayed. Keep moving forward. You cannot see it yet, but your feet are about to hit the red carpet of My grace; and then all bets are off. All normal courses of action are off. The route of typical trajectory is off. This is supernatural grace. This is grace that astounds, and it is reserved for My lovers who walk hand-in-hand with Me, who sit face-to-face with Me, who have made their heart an open book to Me.
But let them all be glad, those who turn aside to hide themselves in you. May they keep shouting for joy forever! Overshadow them in your presence as they sing and rejoice. Then every lover of your name will burst forth with endless joy. Lord, how wonderfully you bless the righteous. Your favor wraps around each one and covers them under your canopy of kindness and joy.
Psalms 5:11-12 TPT
My favor will cover you like a canopy, shielding you from the scorching sun and any incoming arrows or missiles or bullets being launched at you. They won’t touch you. They will be repelled by My canopy of favor and love that flows over you as a shield. Lean into My love. Lean into a deeper knowledge of the beauty, the mystery, the depth and the great passion of My love for you. It will strengthen you. It will build your faith. It will bolster your foundation, and it will strengthen the chains of your anchor to Me. Pursue and desire a deeper understanding and revelation of My love. It will set your heart to flight, and it will give your soul great rest. All striving must cease in a true understanding of My lovers who walk in My love. Rest and joyful obedience are hallmarks of the ones who have a revelation of My love. Peace that radiates out and touches those surrounding is a hallmark of those who dwell in the intimate place of My love.
This is why the Scriptures say: Things never discovered or heard of before, things beyond our ability to imagine — these are the many things God has in store for all his lovers.
1 Corinthians 2:9 TPT
Transition is near. Transition is now. As you continue to walk forward, your feet will hit that red carpet of My grace, and everything you know, every thing you expected will change, will look different. And the people looking on will have nothing to say except, it’s clear that this is one who has been with the Lord.
How to Respond
- No matter what things look like or how you feel, press in to the Lord and keep walking in obedience to Him.
- Study the scriptures that talk about the love of God. Start with 1 John.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for Your correction, Your guidance and Your love. Thank You that You comfort me and lead me forward. Help me to walk, strengthened by Your love, into the path of weighty grace, favor and love that You have for me. Help me to not get distracted or delayed.
- Declare, the Lord is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough. He offers a resting place for me in His luxurious love. – Psalm 23:1-2
- Decree, I am moving forward, and the Lord has appointed a moment of transition that will put me on His great path of grace, covered by His favor and love. I will not be delayed, distracted or drawn off- course. I will pursue a greater revelation of the love of the Lord, so I can be strengthened and secured by it.
