Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 2
Isaiah 10
Isaiah 26
A day is coming when this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “The city is a stronghold for us! The Lord’s salvation, like inner and outer walls, makes it secure. Open the gates and let a righteous, faith-filled people enter in. Perfect, absolute peace surrounds those whose imaginations are consumed with you; they confidently trust in you. 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.
Isaiah 26:1-6 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God of all grace, love and mercy say,
My heart is for the children. My heart is for My children. I have them each imprinted on My heart. A reckoning is brewing. A cataclysmic, insurmountable reckoning is coming to your back porch, to your front yard — to the hidden places and the public places — because I will have My children. I will set them free from the hand of the oppressor, and the guilty I will judge. Those who have oppressed, held down, robbed and abused, I will proclaim guilty. My children will be free in the land again. Freedom will be the spirit, will be the banner that waves over My people again.
In that day, neither the remnant of Israel nor the survivors of the house of Jacob will lean anymore upon the one who abused them, but they will lean fully on the faithfulness of the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel. A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob’s tribes to the mighty God. Though your people Israel were as many as the sand on the seashore, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, and it will be overflowing with righteousness. For the Lord Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies, will complete the destruction he has decreed upon the whole land. In that day the Lord will remove the heavy burden from your shoulders and break off the yoke of bondage from your necks because of the heavy anointing upon you!
Isaiah 10:20-23, 27 TPT
America is heading for a great cataclysmic reckoning. It will bring dark and stormy days. But it is to cleanse the land and to free the people. Just as when a great storm passes, the sun begins to shine, the birds chirp and the neighbors come out. Just as the storm somehow brings a rebirth to community, to connection and forces change and rebuilding and fresh thinking, so will this cataclysmic reckoning. My wrecking ball will expose, will tear down, will destroy the houses and structures that evil built. Names of wicked leaders will be reviled across the land and forever marked in history as hated. But so too are new shoots sprouting, new buds of leadership are rising all across the nation. I Am raising them up Myself. And they will have an extreme tenderness toward My people. They will love and know My heart. They will seek My face, and they will guide and lead and direct with wisdom from above. They will not besmirch My Name. They will not be ones who leave a stain of unrighteousness on the people or the land.
Go, my people, into your inner chambers and close the doors behind you. Hide for a little while, until his indignation is over. For the Lord is coming out from his heavenly place to punish people for their sins. The earth itself will expose the blood spilled upon it, and the ground will no longer hide its slain.
Isaiah 26:20-21 TPT
These days are rapidly approaching. The storm has already begun. Watch as you see the wicked exposed. Watch as you see them topple from their high towers. Watch as you see the admiration and support of the people turn angrily and hotly against them. New days are coming. New leadership is emerging. But in order to get there, you have to ride out the storm. The storm is bringing the cleansing, the reckoning, and it will reveal new budding leadership. It’s at your back door.
How to Respond
- Trust the Lord.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You that You are intervening on our behalf. Thank You for loving us — Your children — and those children yet to be born or born again. Help me to cling to You, to trust and to be at peace even as the storm of Your reckoning kicks up, exposes and destroys. Thank You that this great storm will take wicked leaders out and reveal worthy, budding leaders who love You and have a heart for the people.
- Declare, The arrogant will be humbled and the pride of man brought low. Only one will be exalted in that day: Yahweh! The Lord of Angel Armies has a day of humiliation in store for all the high and mighty, for all who are proud and self-exalting. They will be brought low. —Isaiah 2:11-12 TPT
- Decree, The Lord’s cataclysmic storm of reckoning is upon us. He will expose, judge and take down the wicked. He will topple institutions and homes built on darkness. And He will cleanse the land — just as we have prayed. He is already raising up fresh leaders who love Him and love the people to guide us through the clean up and rebuilding.
