Today’s Reading:
Psalm 84
Psalm 145
84 How lovely are Your dwelling places,
Psalm 84:1-2
O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
The Spirit of the Lord says,
Welcome to My courts. Better is one day in My courts than thousands elsewhere. Welcome to My courts. Welcome to the entry place to My glory. Welcome to the beginning of My Kingdom come, My will being done on Earth as it is in Heaven. You are at the entry place, the courtyard, the outer courts of My glory. I’m drawing you in with My love and My magnificent presence. I’m drawing the whole world. This place is a foretaste of what’s to come, of what’s possible, what’s available in Me. I’m drawing you in deeper, closer, further. These days are the beautiful, magnetic, enticing days — a little foretaste of My glory. My glory is the essence of Me. My glory is like the multicolored radiance that encompasses all aspects of My character, My beauty, My majesty, My holiness, My goodness, My faithfulness, My kindness, My justice, My mercy, My Fatherhood, My heroism, My endless wealth and grandeur.
“You’re kind and tenderhearted to those who don’t deserve it and very patient with people who fail you. Your love is like a flooding river overflowing its banks with kindness. God, everyone sees your goodness, for your tender love is blended into everything you do. Everything you have made will praise you, fulfilling its purpose. And all your godly ones will be found bowing before you. They will tell the world of the lavish splendor of your kingdom and preach about your limitless power. They will demonstrate for all to see your miracles of might and reveal the glorious majesty of your kingdom. You are the Lord who reigns over your never-ending kingdom through all the ages of time and eternity! You are faithful to fulfill every promise you’ve made. You manifest yourself as kindness in all you do.”
Psalms 145:8-13 TPT
The world is at the entry way to My Kingdom and My Presence, to My glory. Relish it. Enjoy it. Soak in it, and ask Me to permit you to come deeper, closer, further into the place where My glory dwells. Better is one day in My courts than thousands elsewhere. You will find peace here in My courts. You will find forgiveness, restoration and true identity here even in My outer courts. You will find purpose and vision and a brand new heart here in My outer courts, and this foretaste will gobsmack you like a a lovestruck lover. Determine not to stay in these outer courts though they are lovely, though they are glorious, though they bring hope, healing and restoration. Determine not to stay here, because My river of love runs deeper than you can perceive out here in these outer courts. Follow the rushing sound of My love deeper into the place where My glory dwells. You are not meant to stay in the outer courts of My glory. I Am inviting you in closer, deeper, further into the places you have never seen, dreamed of or fathomed.
“You have captured our attention and the eyes of all look to you. You give what they hunger for at just the right time. When you open your generous hand, it’s full of blessings, satisfying the longings of every living thing. You are fair and righteous in everything you do, and your love is wrapped into all your works. You draw near to those who call out to you, listening closely, especially when their hearts are true. Every godly one receives even more than what they ask for. For you hear what their hearts really long for, and you bring them your saving strength.”
Psalms 145:15-19 TPT
Determine to walk further through the thick honey-like glory of My outer courts. Determine to walk deeper, farther, closer into the sanctuary, into the Kingdom, into the glorious place, the most remarkable, unimaginable place where My glory dwells. It is Heaven on Earth. It is Heaven on Earth. It is Heaven on Earth. It is Heaven on Earth because the times have aligned, because My people have prayed, because My lovers have pulled on Heaven and tugged on Heaven and desired more of Me, to be closer to Me. This is My Kingdom come. Don’t be satisfied with the outer courts of My glory, as glorious and sweet and thick as they are. Choose to come deeper. Ask Me to permit you entrance to the deeper, closer, further places of My Kingdom — of Heaven. On Earth.
How to Respond
- Spend time in Presence of the Lord. Ask Him to speak to you about how He sees you, where you are not living in truth and what’s on His heart.
- Pray, Lord, I am not satisfied with living in the outer courts, even though this is the most glorious place I have ever been. You say that there is more, so I want more. Permit me entry into the place where Your glory dwells Lord. Permit me to come deeper, closer and further into Your glory, Your Kingdom and Heaven on Earth. Show me the way Lord. I will come wherever You lead me.
- Declare, the Lord is inviting His lovers to come in from the outer courts deeper into the place where His glory dwells.
- Decree, I will abandon the outer courts that I have come to know and love. I will leave them, and I will walk deeper into the place where the glory of the Lord dwells. I will get closer to Him, and I will experience Heaven on Earth.
