Today’s Reading:
John 13
John 15
Luke 24
Jesus said to him, “You are already clean. You’ve been washed completely and you just need your feet to be cleansed […]
John 13:10a TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
I’m cleaning My vessels for service. I’m bringing a new rite of purification, a new process of purification for these vessels who are consecrated into My service. Like My disciples, you are already washed clean. It’s only your feet that need to be washed. The road has been long, hard and dirty, but you have remained pure. This new purification, this new level of purification is for a new commissioning. I’m bringing a fresh commissioning, because I Am opening up a new realm, a new world of service that has not previously been available nor has it been seen. This service will minister to the deep places of the Spirit. I’m drawing you deeper, farther, closer into My heart, therefore you must be still for this rite of purification. You must be still. You must be present. You must receive in humility, and you must let all that you have been holding so tightly by means of control fall away. This is the safe zone of My Presence, of My cleansing, and this short period is a time to be washed, to be refreshed, to receive.
The words I have spoken over you have already cleansed you. So you must remain in life-union with me, for I remain in life-union with you. For as a branch severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to mine. I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless.
John 15:3-9 TPT
As this new level of consecration is completed, I will exchange your robes for fresh priestly robes including a new ephod that marks your sanctification in the Spirit. These are the blue-gray garments of wisdom and prophecy and the Spirit of Might. You will walk in these into deep, unknown, unvisited places in My Spirit, and you will come out with a blazing crown of authority and understanding that allows you to access this authority in ways you have never been able to comprehend. Your power will come so forcefully, so astonishingly right from My throne. It will come in peace as you abide in Me. This power is not accessed when your heart and mind are in angst, in chaos, in confusion or in fear. It is accessed from a place of deep, abiding peace in Me, the same peace Jesus lived and carried with Him, the peace we saw exhibited when He slept through the storm and then commanded the winds and the waves to be still. This is the peace He has given you, and this is the authority and the power He has imparted to you.
I will send the fulfillment of the Father’s promise to you, so stay here in the city until you are clothed with the mighty power of heaven.
Luke 24:49 TPT
Come through this rite of cleansing. Come through this new level. Accept this new invitation for cleansing and consecration. Come and receive. Come and exchange your garments for new robes and a new ephod that mark you in wisdom, prophecy and the Spirit of Might. Come and see as I open up a new, deeper realm in the Spirit to you than has ever been made available before. Enter the days of your new consecration. I Am calling you into new service in the Spirit, to My Spirit by My Spirit.
How to Respond
- Slow down and seek the voice and instruction of the Lord. He is calling us into a weighty service.
- Pray, Holy Spirit You have my yes. I will walk into this new rite of purification. I will be still and allow You to wash my feet. I will receive and be refreshed, cleansed and purified in a new way for new service. Show me what I need to release control of in order to move forward into this new service in Your Spirit to Your Spirit by Your Spirit.
- Declare, I am a king and a priest unto the Lord my God. The same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in me.
- Decree, I will walk in obedience to the Lord. I will submit and be still for this new rite of purification and deeper level of consecration to the Lord. I accept the invitation to go deeper into the Spirit than has ever been made available, and I will exchange my robes for new priestly robes and an ephod that are marked by wisdom, prophecy and the Spirit of Might. I will walk in a new, greater level of authority than I could have ever comprehended, and the power I access in the deep abiding peace I have in the Lord will come directly from the throne of God.
