Today’s Reading:
Psalm 24
8 Who is the King of glory?
Psalm 24:8-10
The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O gates,
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!
10 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory. Selah.
The Spirit of the Lord says,
Glory. Men will see My Glory. I will reveal My glory, make My glory known and pour out My manifest Presence among the peoples. Hearts are being drawn to Me, and they will say that I do indeed dwell among them, that I surround them, and that My throne is established in their own hearts. Truth is rising, and with it My glory does also. I Am truth, and I Am the source of all truth. There is no deceit in my mouth, My expression or My being. Deceit, treachery and lies must bow and crumble before Me. They self-destruct in My Presence. As My Presence expands and intensifies in the Earth, so does truth, so does awareness of and recognition of right and wrong. I bring truth, morality and matters of the heart into sharp focus — just by My Presence.
3 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Psalm 24:3-4
And who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood
And has not sworn deceitfully.
My Presence is a great magnifier and amplifier of truth. In My Presence lies bow, crumble and self combust, and people are left with a choice. They can with clear eyes grasp for the ashes of the lies they loved, clung to or wore as a shroud. OR they can leave the remains of those lies at My feet and find true freedom in Me. I make the same offer to all that I made to the rich young ruler. Will you let go of what is ruling your heart? Will you let go of the lies? The former ways, the false gods? And embrace Me? Embrace new life? Embrace freedom? Will you change your mind and your methods? Or will you let habits, lies and false gods hold you in their power, hold you captive?
As I told Moses and My people, I set before you today a blessing and a curse. So choose life. Choose life more abundant in Me. Choose life hand-in-hand, heart-to-heart with Me. Let go of the sin that entangles you. Let go of the lies that are wrapped like briars around your feet, hands and heart. Draw near to Me and let My Presence burn them away. Let My Presence free you from those thorny lies that have you bound in sin, in desperation, in living a lie, in living with a heart filled with falsehoods. Draw near and let Me burn them up. Draw near and be purified by the fire and light of My holy Presence. Draw near and be cleansed. Draw near and be freed. Draw near and be comforted, restored. Find wholeness. Find healing in the light of My glory.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord
Psalm 24:5-6
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face—even Jacob. Selah.
Come. All who come to Me are welcome. Not one who comes to Me will be turned away. Nothing is so great, so terrible, so reprehensible that it is not covered by the powerful, precious blood of Jesus. Nothing is so grave that it cannot be burned up and forgotten by the fire of My Presence. Come you who are bound. Come you who are weary. Come you who have wandered. Come you who have strayed. Come you who are searching. Come. My glory, My Presence are here. I Am here. I Am available. I Am waiting for you with outstretched arms. Come. I desire truth in the innermost parts, and only I can cleanse, can purify your heart so that it only holds truth. Come.

- Declare, the Lord is revealing Himself in greater measure. His glory is intensifying and expanding in the earth, and He is causing truth to be known. He is causing lies to fall to the ground and die before Him. He is offering to set people free.
