Today’s Reading:
Matthew 9
John 14
Hebrews 4
Jesus walked throughout the region with the joyful message of God’s kingdom realm. He taught in their meeting houses, and wherever he went he demonstrated God’s power by healing every kind of disease and illness. When he saw the vast crowds of people, Jesus’ heart was deeply moved with compassion, because they seemed weary and helpless, like wandering sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9:35-36 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
The refreshing is here. It comes from Me, but I can release it through you. You are designed to be a carrier of My refreshing who is clothed in the redemption of Jesus. You carry the Spirit of My refreshing in you and with you because you are clothed in the redemptive price paid by King Jesus the Messiah and the Lamb. Your presence — because of My grace on you, the redemption of Jesus covering you and My Spirit that lives inside of you — is to be like a cool breeze on a hot, stagnant day. Your words are to be like a cold cup of water to a dry and parched soul. Your life is to be like poetry and a prayer that unfolds moment by moment in communion with Me.
As we enter into God’s faith-rest life we cease from our own works, just as God celebrates his finished works and rests in them. So then we must be eager to experience this faith-rest life, so that no one falls short by following the same pattern of doubt and unbelief.
Hebrews 4:10-11 TPT
This is not a place of striving. All striving must cease. This is a place where surrender gets the biggest return. Obedience is love, and joy is strength. This is life in the Kingdom. It’s time to rearrange your understanding, so you can operate as a ruler and as an heir in My Kingdom. Natural laws don’t operate well here. The laws, the principles, the operational mechanisms of My Kingdom are not natural. They are supernatural. They were birthed in Heaven. When you operate from My Kingdom perspective and in Kingdom principles, you are living on Earth as it is in Heaven. Ask for a revelation of Heaven’s operating principles. That’s where I am calling you to move. That’s how I Am calling you to move. These are not ordinary days, and the old ways will continue to net the old results. But Kingdom ways will produce supernatural results. It comes from living in the Spirit. It comes from dwelling in this up-higher place with Me.
“I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father! For I will do whatever you ask me to do when you ask me in my name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring glory to him. Ask me anything in my name, and I will do it for you!”
John 14:12-14 TPT
I will equip you with supernatural vision as you come up higher and remain up higher. The supernatural vision that I impart will be what enables you to access and grab hold of supernatural provision. You have to see it up here before you can hold it down there in the Earthly realm. To the natural eyes life in the Spirit is not very productive. It looks like daydreaming. It looks like time locked away in prayer. But I guarantee you — life in the Spirit will out-produce life in the natural every day of the week. It’s time to shift your thinking. It’s time to change the gears of your mindset, because this is a supernatural season that can only be accessed through the Spirit in that up-higher place with Me.
How to Respond
- Carve out some time to sit with the Lord. Sit in His Word and ask for a revelation of Kingdom operational principles.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You that You have moved us into a supernatural season. Help me to adjust my mindset and my approach. Help me to live in that up-higher place with You where I can see from Your perspective and receive Your Kingdom vision that grants me access to supernatural provision on Earth.
- Declare, greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. The Lord’s ways are higher than my ways and His thoughts are higher than my thoughts. I have access to everything I need through Christ Jesus.
- Decree, I will leave behind my old ways of thinking and operating, and I will shift into spending more time in the Spirit. I will be more productive by having more time in communion with the Lord and seeing and accessing things from His perspective than I would by operating out of my old ways and natural striving. Supernatural days are here. Supernatural vision and provision are available.
