Today’s Reading:
Psalm 5
Psalm 84
Psalm 85
For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! Wrapping himself around me like a shield, he is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory. Those who walk along his paths with integrity will never lack one thing they need, for he provides it all! O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what euphoria fills those who forever trust in you!
Psalms 84:11-12 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Grace and glory. My grace and My glory are shining on you. My grace and glory are within you and surround you. Whom or what shall you fear? Don’t fear failure. I Am here. Don’t fear getting it wrong. I Am here. Where can you flee from My Spirit, where go from my Presence? Watch what I Am doing in the body of Christ. Can you see how I Am strengthening each one in their own way, for their own purpose in Me? Can you see that I Am drawing you forward, because this is a time of advancement? This is not a time to waiver between two opinions. This is not a time to be tossed about. This is a time to be decisive and move forward in power, in strength and relentless force.
But let them all be glad, those who turn aside to hide themselves in you. May they keep shouting for joy forever! Overshadow them in your presence as they sing and rejoice. Then every lover of your name will burst forth with endless joy. Lord, how wonderfully you bless the righteous. Your favor wraps around each one and covers them under your canopy of kindness and joy.
Psalms 5:11-12 TPT
Wishy washy days and wishy washy ways must be left behind. The Kingdom of God sufferers violence and the violent take it by force. The assaults that have come against you have been to keep you on the back foot, to keep you in reactive mode, to keep you sick, broken and lacking. But I have come to give you life and life more abundant. Watch and feel My strong wind of mercy blow on you. Watch as My grace winds and favor surround you. This is a time where I Am filling your sails with the force and the winds needed to drive you forward, to get you unstuck, to bring great momentum and power into your days ahead.
Now I’ll listen carefully for your voice and wait to hear whatever you say. Let me hear your promise of peace— the message every one of your godly lovers longs to hear. Don’t let us in our ignorance turn back from following you. For I know your power and presence shines on all your devoted lovers. Your glory always hovers over all who bow low before you. Your mercy and your truth have married each other. Your righteousness and peace have kissed. Flowers of your faithfulness are blooming on the earth. Righteousness shines down from the sky. Yes, the Lord keeps raining down blessing after blessing, and prosperity will drench the land with a bountiful harvest. For deliverance goes before him, preparing a path for his steps.
Psalms 85:8-13 TPT
These are not days for a navel gazing and questioning every move. Be moved by the impulses of my Spirit, and don’t second guess it. The time spent second guessing could be spent advancing. Move forward in bold courage and in confidence that My grace winds and My favor are driving you forward into a new day of fruitfulness, into a land of milk and honey, into prosperity and into the fullness of joy. Move forward decisively. This is a time for full speed ahead. Enjoy the ride. It’s designed to be fun.

- Declare, You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past. You have laid your hand on me! This is just too wonderful, deep, and incomprehensible! Your understanding of me brings me wonder and strength. Where could I go from your Spirit? Where could I run and hide from your face? If I go up to heaven, you’re there! If I go down to the realm of the dead, you’re there too! If I fly with wings into the shining dawn, you’re there! If I fly into the radiant sunset, you’re there waiting! Wherever I go, your hand will guide me; your strength will empower me. – Psalms 139:5-10 TPT
- Decree, I will move forward and take bold, decisive action. The Lord is with me, and He is for me. His mercy winds and grace winds are driving me forward. I am covered with His favor, and I will not fear or live in doubt. I will advance into life more abundant, into prosperity and into the land of milk and honey, because my God is with me. He is for me, so no demon in hell can stand against me.
