Today’s Reading:
Joshua 1
Isaiah 55
Psalm 68
“O God, my King, your triumphal processions keep moving onward in holiness; you’re moving onward toward the Holy Place! Leaders in front, then musicians, with young maidens in between, striking their tambourines. And they sing, “Let all God’s princely people rejoice! Let all the congregations bring their blessing to God, saying, ‘The Lord of the fountain! The Lord of the fountain of life! The Lord of the fountain of Israel!’ ” Astonishingly, it’s the favored youth leading the way: princes of praise in their royal robes and exalted princes are among them, along with princes who have wrestled with God.”
Psalms 68:24-27 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
These are days of irreversible change. These are days of unapologetically and unhesitatingly plowing forward, pushing the day forward into the future. These are days of setting the table, so you can eat a great banquet feast in the presence of your enemies. This is a time of a great usurpation. I Am the God of Jacob. I lead the turnaround. I lead the overturning. I lead the U-turn back to what is right, what is honorable, what is noble, worthy and holy. I lead the U-turn back to My heart, back to My ways, back to the ancient foundation and the Ancient of Days. A great reversal is just ahead. A great reversal is nearly upon you. For some it may cause whiplash. They never saw it coming. For many, many, many it will be a glorious vindication and an overwhelming answer to prayer.
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 NASB 1995
These are the days for those who are awake. These are the days for those whose hands have been steady on the plow. These are the days for those whose hearts and minds are already headed the right way. These are days of great victory and new battles — new battles for which I have already paved the way to glorious victory. These are not days to shrink back. They are days to be wildly bold and brazen as you confront evil, as you confront ungodliness, as you confront all that is not of Me. All that is not established in Me and built upon Me must be confronted. Boldness is the key. Rejecting fear is the key. Worshipping unceasingly, praying unceasingly, declaring and proclaiming the words of the scripture, the words of your Living God are all key.
“Our God is a mighty God who saves us over and over! For the Lord, Yahweh, rescues us from the ways of death many times. But he will crush every enemy, shattering their strength. He will make heads roll for they refuse to repent of their stubborn, sinful ways. I hear the Lord God saying to all the enemies of his people, “You’d better come out of your hiding places, all of you who are doing your best to stay far away from me. Don’t you know there’s no place to hide? For my people will be the conquerors; they will soon have you under their feet. They will crush you until there is nothing left!””
Psalms 68:20-23 TPT
The turnaround is upon you, and many victories are in sight. Victories require battle, so keep yourself suited up in the full armor of God. Don’t put down your sword, don’t relax your stance. Be ready, because this is a season of many battles, of many victories and of much great, wondrous, overflowing vindication for those who love Me, for those who love truth, for those whose hearts and minds have already turned to move in the right direction — for those whose King is One. I Am the Eternal Living God, the Sovereign of the universe. Vindication is Mine and for those who are Mine.
12 “For you will go out with joy
Isaiah 55:12-13 NASB 1995
And be led forth with peace;
The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you,
And all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
13 “Instead of the thorn bush the cypress will come up,
And instead of the nettle the myrtle will come up,
And [e]it will be a [f]memorial to the Lord,
For an everlasting sign which will not be cut off.”
It’s also time to celebrate. Make room for celebration — even during and between the battles. This is not a season for stoicism. This is season of joy, of passion and the reverential fear of the Lord your God. Move forward in all joy, in My strength, with great courage — shunning fear. These are the days of awakening. These are the opening days of the harvest. I have not called you to sit on the sidelines. I have called you to get into the fight. My grace is on you for the fight.
How to Respond
- Keep your heart and mind pure before the Lord.
- Submit your life and purpose to the Lord, and ask Him if you are where you need to be and doing what you need to be doing.
- Pray, Holy Spirit come. Fill me with Your joy and strength. Give me clear direction, and walk with me through this battle and the battles ahead. You are the ever-victorious God. Help us push forward unwaveringly in boldness, courage and strength. You are the King of kings and Victory is Your Name.
- Declare, The Lord is leading us into a moment of great turnaround and vindication. He has prepared the path of victory for us in the battles yet to come. Worship, declarations of scripture, and prayer are the mighty weapons of our warfare. If the Lord is for us, who can be against us?
- Decree, I will walk in boldness and great courage with the Lord my God. I will keep on the full armor of God, so I am protected in battle, and I will rejoice in the Lord always. I will celebrate during, between and after the battles, because the Lord my God is for me, and He leads me into every victory.
