Today’s Reading:
1 Corinthians 3
“We are coworkers with God and you are God’s cultivated garden, the house he is building. God has given me unique gifts as a skilled master builder who lays a good foundation. Afterward another craftsman comes and builds on it. So builders beware! Let every builder do his work carefully, according to God’s standards. For no one is empowered to lay an alternative foundation other than the good foundation that exists, which is Jesus Christ!”
1 Corinthians 3:9-11 TPT
The Spirit of the Lord says,
I’m moving people back to foundational thinking. The foundations are that upon which everything else is established. I will shake everything down to the very foundations. The great shaking is for the great awakening. Too many are asleep. Too many are lazy and comfortable. Too many are a oblivious and live in arrogance. They can’t see the truth right in front of them. It has been this way since time began. But I Am bringing a great shaking to stir people’s hearts, to quicken their minds to think again. The shaking will cause them to feel again. The shaking will wake them from their numb, zombie-like slumber.
“The quality of materials used by anyone building on this foundation will soon be made apparent, whether it has been built with gold, silver, and costly stones, or wood, hay, and straw. Their work will soon become evident, for the Day will make it clear, because it will be revealed by blazing fire! And the fire will test and prove the workmanship of each builder. If his work is consumed by the fire, he will suffer great loss. Yet he himself will barely escape destruction, like one being rescued out of a burning house.”
1 Corinthians 3:12-13, 15 TPT
I’m returning the world to foundational truths, and people will once again desire and use foundational thinking. They will realize that the foundation is essential to righteousness. Without a firm foundation, you can’t have righteous living. The same can be said of a nation. Without foundational thinking, you can’t have righteous leadership. You certainly can’t appreciate righteous leadership.
“Don’t you realize that together you have become God’s inner sanctuary and that the Spirit of God makes his permanent home in you? Now, if someone desecrates God’s inner sanctuary, God will desecrate him, for God’s inner sanctuary is holy, and that is exactly who you are. So why fool yourself and live under an illusion? Make no mistake about it, if anyone thinks he is wise by the world’s standards, he will be made wiser by being a fool for God! For what the world says is wisdom is actually foolishness in God’s eyes. As it is written: The cleverness of the know-it-alls becomes the trap that ensnares them. And again: The Lord sees right through the clever reasonings of the wise and knows that it’s all a sham. So don’t be proud of your allegiance to any human leader. For actually, you already have everything! It has all been given for your benefit, whether it is Paul or Apollos or Peter the Rock, or whether it’s the world or life or death, or whether it’s the present or the future—everything belongs to you! And now you are joined to the Messiah, who is joined to God.”
1 Corinthians 3:16-23 TPT
I Am reestablishing foundational thinking. I Am the Rock and your firm foundation. Salvation through Christ Jesus alone is the very bedrock, the very foundation upon which life and faith is built. It is time for a return to the ancient foundations. It is time for a return to the elemental and the simple. The foundation has not changed. But the self-determined structures built atop a good foundation will not stand. And those self-determined structures built far away from the bedrock of faith will be utterly destroyed. We’re going back to elemental, to the simple, to the foundational — to truth.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord, thank You for seeing us and for caring about the state of the world in which we are living. Bring us back to foundational thinking, foundational truth, righteous living and righteous leadership. Show me Lord where my thinking is faulty. And help me to be aligned with You.
- Declare, the Lord will shake everything that can be shaken. The Lord will shake us back to foundational truth and foundational thinking. Only the truth will remain.
- Decree, The Lord is my Rock and my firm foundation. I will not be moved, and I will not be shaken in the shaking. I am established on the ancient foundation of Christ Jesus. He is the way, the truth and the life. His is the only name by which anyone can be saved. The Lord is bringing us back to foundational thinking, and He is restoring people to their right minds.
