Today’s Reading:
Proverbs 9
Proverbs 10
Matthew 13
”The starting point for acquiring wisdom is to be consumed with awe as you worship Yahweh. To receive the revelation of the Holy One, you must come to the one who has living-understanding.“
Proverbs 9:10 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
I’m brushing off the fear of man, and all will stand in awe of Me. The fear of man will shrink up and die. And boldness and a fiery passionate roar for Me will rise. The bold ones will arise and are rising now. They are stepping forward and receiving new assignments that have been set aside for the bold, for the warriors who fear Me alone. Your choice is Me. Your choices are in Me and for Me. You have made choices for Me. You have chosen Me. You have obeyed My voice, My instruction; and now a fresh anointing of boldness will be added to your boldness.
”It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it.“
Proverbs 10:22 NASB1995
This is the time of recompense. And those who have the most in their arsenal will be given more. Those who have bowed and cowed to the whims of man, to the direction of man, at the anticipated direction of the position of man will have the legs knocked out from beneath their table. Their table will crash to the ground, and they will have to decide whom they will serve. As they pick up the pieces, they will have to return to their why. They will have to go back to their reason for building. And they will — upon reflection — see that they were like the man who built his house upon the sand and when the winds came and when the waves came, his house could not withstand it.
”He explained, “You’ve been given the intimate experience of insight into the hidden mysteries of the realm of heaven’s kingdom, but they have not. For everyone who listens with an open heart will receive progressively more revelation until he has more than enough. But those who don’t listen with an open, teachable heart, even the understanding that they think they have will be taken from them.“
Matthew 13:11-12 TPT
For some it will take the crash of their table and having the legs knocked out from beneath their table to recognize that they were serving the wrong master. For others this will not be enough. They will rebuild on sand, and their house will be smaller this time and it will be overcome and devastated by the winds and the waves sooner this time. All that is not built on the Solid Rock, the firm foundation, the unshakable, immovable foundation of Christ the King will not remain in prominence. It will not retain its influence. It will not retain its profitability.
How to Respond
- Make sure your work and efforts are built on the Solid Rock of Christ Jesus.
- Pray, Holy Spirit come. Do as You have said. Brush off any remnants of the fear of man in my life. Anoint me with even greater boldness and passion for You. Help me to be one who continues to step forward in boldness at Your direction for the things that matter to You.
- Declare, the Lord is raising up those who live in purity and whose hearts belong to Him. He is removing the influence and profitability of those whose businesses and lives are moved and directed by the fear of man.
- Decree, the Lord my God is Lord of all. He set the stars in the sky, and He knows them all by name. His vastness is too big to comprehend, yet He cares about that which concerns me. I will not fear what man can say or do to me. I will serve one master alone, and that master is the Lord my God, Christ my King, Jesus the Anointed One, the Savior of the world.
