Today’s Reading:
Psalm 8
Psalm 25
Proverbs 19
Why would you bother with puny, mortal man or care about human beings? Yet what honor you have given to men, created only a little lower than Elohim, crowned with glory and magnificence. You have delegated to them rulership over all you have made, with everything under their authority, placing earth itself under the feet of your image-bearers. All the created order and every living thing of the earth, sky, and sea— the wildest beasts and all that move in the paths of the sea — everything is in submission to Adam’s sons. Yahweh, our Sovereign God, your glory streams from the heavens above, filling the earth with the majesty of your name! People everywhere see your splendor!
Psalms 8:4-9 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Resurrection is here. What has been dead is waking to life. What has lain dormant and asleep is shaking and rattling to the surface, full of new life. Death has been defeated. Resurrection should be expected. The enemy falls for it every time. I can lure him into smug arrogance and distraction when he thinks things that pose a threat have died. As he shifts focus, I breathe a resurrection. Then we have not only our plan in motion, but we have the element and power of surprise. Be in on this with Me. Sit in My strategy room with Me and get the inside track. It’s more useful if you are not surprised by the resurrection but understand it as part of the plan, so you can run with it as soon as it arises.
Many are the plans of a man’s heart, but it’s the Lord’s purpose that will stand.
Proverbs 19:21
This is a time to be in tune with Divine strategies. This is a time to be in the room for the planning and unveiling of Divine strategies. Don’t sit on the margins as one whose only role is to react when life happens. I Am calling you into the inner chambers with Me, into the room where Divine strategies are laid out, explained and released. This is the place to come and understand your place in the plan, to understand your role in the plan and to go forward as one with insider knowledge — with Divine intel. This is a time to usurp and upend the plans of the enemy. I Am pulling back the curtain, so you can see and perceive and understand his moves. This is time of being a spy in the enemy’s camp. This is a time of being a king in My Divine war room. You are to operate as a ruler who can access and who carries Divine intel for destroying and neutering the works of darkness and for setting out and executing Divine strategies for victory.
There’s a private place reserved for the devoted lovers of Yahweh, where they sit near him and receive the revelation-secrets of his promises.
Psalms 25:14 TPT
This is a time of seeing and strategizing, of being on the inside track, the inside team. And this is a time from which plans will go forth that require wisdom, hearing and obeying My voice and immediate action that strikes like a predator. You are changing roles, though the enemy cannot perceive it. You are going from target to predator, from prey to pouncer. Come into My Divine War Room, into the place where My strategies are laid out and my plans are made known to My kings who rule and reign with Me. This is the preparation time for battles to come — where your obedience and your dominion will bring every victory.
How to Respond
- Spend time in worship and listening to the Lord for His strategies. Ask Him to share them with you.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You that You see all and You know all. Nothing surprises You or catches You off-guard. Help me to know how to access Your Divine War Room, so I can see Your unveiling of the strategies to usurp and destroy the works of the enemy.
- Declare, the Lord will make me the head and not the tail, and I shall only go up and not down, as I obey the commandments of the Lord my God, being careful to do them. (Deuteronomy 28:13)
- Declare, the Lord Jesus has chosen us to serve our God and formed us into a kingdom of priests who reign on the earth. (Revelation 5:10)
- Decree, this is a time of preparation for the next phase of battle. I am no longer the prey of the enemy. I am the one whom he should fear. I have become a predator whose aim is to listen and obey the voice of the Lord in order to decisively destroy the works and plans of the enemy. I have access to and will spend time with the Lord in His Divine War Room, so I can understand His battle strategies and execute my part with power. As I obey the Lord and take immediate action, I will see every victory.
