Today’s Reading:
1 Peter 2
Hebrews 6
”So keep coming to him who is the Living Stone —though he was rejected and discarded by men but chosen by God and is priceless in God’s sight. Come and be his “living stones” who are continually being assembled into a sanctuary for God. For now you serve as holy priests, offering up spiritual sacrifices that he readily accepts through Jesus Christ. For it says in Scripture: Look! I lay a cornerstone in Zion, a chosen and priceless stone! And whoever believes in him will certainly not be disappointed.“
1 Peter 2:4-6 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God of Truth says,
My principles are written in stone. They are written in Living Stone. They are written on the tablets of your heart. They are written on the life of the Cornerstone of your faith, Christ Jesus. He is the solid rock and the Cornerstone. You are the living stones that are building the Church, the legislative body of Christ’s Kingdom, on Earth as it is in Heaven. I Am the one who gives you each day your daily bread. I Am the voice who tells you, this is the way, walk in it. I Am the one who blows on the embers of your heart and causes them to erupt in passion for Me, for the desires I have placed inside of your heart, for the purposes I have knit in the very fibers of your soul.
”For God, the Faithful One, is not unfair. How can he forget the beautiful work you have done for him? He remembers the love you demonstrate as you continually serve his beloved ones for the glory of his name. But we long to see you passionately advance until the end and you find your hope fulfilled. So don’t allow your hearts to grow dull or lose your enthusiasm, but follow the example of those who fully received what God has promised because of their strong faith and patient endurance.“
Hebrews 6:10-12 TPT
Walk with Me. Be ones whose lives reflect the truth, the principles, the values written on the tablet of your heart. My grace and wisdom put it there, so you never have to stray from original intent, so you never have to walk away from the owner’s manual. I have given you the instructions you need. The sunlight of My favor is shining your life and your heart as you walk with Me, as you uncover the desires that I placed like Easter eggs inside of you. You will delight and treasure them and be surprised when you find them. This is a time of uncovering, revealing and discovering the desires of your heart. I have placed them there as a gift for you, and a gift for humanity. No one can run with these desires. No one can pick up the torch or baton of these desires and make the impact you can. I put them there for you to pick up and treasure — to inspire creation, building and great forward advancement. This is not a time to take these treasures, these uncovered desires and hide them from the world. No, it is time to put them on display, so they attract the right partners, put them on display, so you live in truth about what it is I have put inside of you.
”So it is impossible for God to lie for we know that his promise and his vow will never change! And now we have run into his heart to hide ourselves in his faithfulness. This is where we find his strength and comfort, for he empowers us to seize what has already been established ahead of time—an unshakable hope! We have this certain hope like a strong, unbreakable anchor holding our souls to God himself. Our anchor of hope is fastened to the mercy seat in the heavenly realm beyond the sacred threshold, and where Jesus, our forerunner, has gone in before us. He is now and forever our royal Priest like Melchizedek.“
Hebrews 6:18-20 TPT
These are the days of new beginnings and new personal awakening, because I Am waking what has been sleeping inside of you. I Am waking what has laid dormant and restive inside of you. I Am waking it up, and I Am shaking it up. And you will discover these desires and hold them in your hand. This is the time to make the desires real, tangible. This is the time to build, run and do. I Am waking what has been asleep, dormant and hidden deep inside of you. This is the time of a personal destiny awakening, and it’s time to run.
How to Respond
- Be true to the principles that the Lord has written in His Word and on your heart. Be open to discovering and awakening to hidden dreams, purposes and desires that the Lord has placed in your heart to find at this time.
- Pray, Holy Spirit lead me to all truth. Help me to have the curiosity and awareness to see what You are bringing to the surface in my own heart and life about the purposes and callings You have placed inside of me. Help me to not shrink back from them, but instead, grab them in full joy and run forward to advance Your Kingdom.
- Declare, my God is the Father of Heavenly Lights. Every good and perfect gift comes from Him.
- Decree, I will not shrink back or hide from what the Lord is awakening in my spirit and life. I will rise up. I will take hold of what He has revealed, and I will move forward in boldness and great joy. His plans for me are good, to prosper me and to give me a future and a hope. I will rise in courage and run toward destiny. I will follow His prompting and His voice, as He tells me where to go and what to do. I will walk with Him all the days of my life.
