Today’s Reading:
Jeremiah 51
”“But I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes,” declares the Lord. “Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, Who destroys the whole earth,” declares the Lord, “And I will stretch out My hand against you, And roll you down from the crags, And I will make you a burnt out mountain. They will not take from you even a stone for a corner Nor a stone for foundations, But you will be desolate forever,” declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah 51:24-26 NASB1995
The Spirit of the Living God says,
Sides are lining up for war. Battles and skirmishes have been fought. But now the sides are lining up for war. War is upon us and all around us. We are in the midst of war. Foundations are cracking and new, stronger, deeper foundations are rising back up to the surface to take their place. The foundations that have sat atop in public view for generations are cracking to reveal they were but a veneer. They had a hollow core. It was as if these presented foundations, these visible, public-facing foundations were made of plaster and not solid rock. And as they crack in full public view, the true, glorious ancient foundations will rise up to take their rightful place.
”So the land quakes and writhes, For the purposes of the Lord against Babylon stand, To make the land of Babylon A desolation without inhabitants. The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting, They stay in the strongholds; Their strength is exhausted, They are becoming like women; Their dwelling places are set on fire, The bars of her gates are broken. Therefore behold, days are coming When I will punish the idols of Babylon; And her whole land will be put to shame And all her slain will fall in her midst. Then heaven and earth and all that is in them Will shout for joy over Babylon, For the destroyers will come to her from the north,” Declares the Lord. Indeed Babylon is to fall for the slain of Israel, As also for Babylon the slain of all the earth have fallen.“
Jeremiah 51:29-30, 47-49 NASB1995
Warriors are arrayed and lined up, positioned for battle, yet the battle has already been won. Christ the King reigns eternal. Your job warrior is to stand. Your job is to advance. Your job is to move at My instruction, to take the high ground, to take the hill country, to capture the tops of the mountains and to plunder the fallen enemy in the valleys. I will cause the enemy to flee before you. I will cause the enemy to scatter. And I will cause many with the enemy to fall at your feet in battle. This is a time of advancing in war and chaos. This is a time where the false foundations are breaking, cracking, being exposed for what they are and being replaced by the true, glorious ancient foundation. This is a time where war is all around, yet in Me you can have perfect peace. In Me, you can storm a troop.
”Though Babylon should ascend to the heavens, And though she should fortify her lofty stronghold, From Me destroyers will come to her,” declares the Lord. The sound of an outcry from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans! For the Lord is going to destroy Babylon, And He will make her loud noise vanish from her. And their waves will roar like many waters; The tumult of their voices sounds forth. For the destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon, And her mighty men will be captured, Their bows are shattered; For the Lord is a God of recompense, He will fully repay.“
Jeremiah 51:53-56 NASB1995
Watch My glory fall. It will shift battles. It will change outcomes. It will rout the enemy, and it will cause the very ground beneath the enemy’s feet to be pulled out from under them. This is a time of advancing in chaos. This is a time to make giant leaps in the midst of war. My warriors are advancing. Do not sit back. Do not shrink back. Line up My warriors of peace, and advance the line. Storm the wall. Move forward at the sound of my voice. I will instruct you, lead you out and go before you as your great Warrior King. This is the time of war. Advance mightily through the war.
How to Respond
- Obey the voice and instruction of the Lord.
- Pray, Holy Spirit come. Cause Your glory to fall. Confuse the enemy. Expose the faulty and false foundations. Cause them to crack and crumble and be replaced by the true, glorious ancient foundation. Help me to hear You more clearly than ever in this time of war. I want to be properly positioned and advancing with You. Help me to stay at peace regardless of what I see, because You are with me and You have gone before me. Thank You that the battle has already been won by King Jesus.
- Declare, the Lord is using the chaos to advance His Kingdom. He is routing the enemy and causing faulty and false foundations to break up and be exposed. He is raising up the ancient foundations, and He is causing His glory to fall.
- Decree, I will stand. I will hide myself in the Lord and advance with Him. I will heed His voice. I will not shrink back and be destroyed, but I will be among those who have faith and experience true life. I will take the hill country and be one who takes the mountain tops at the instruction of the Lord. I will plunder the enemy in the valley, and I will experience the full victory with my Lord and King.
