Today’s Reading:
Psalm 97
Psalm 103
Psalm 126

Listen, you lovers of God! Hate evil, for God can keep you from wrong and protect you from the power of wickedness. For he sows seeds of light within his devoted lovers, and seeds of joy burst forth for the lovers of God! So be glad and continue to give him thanks, for God’s holiness is seen in everything he does.

Psalms‬ ‭97‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭TPT‬‬

I heard the Spirit of the Living God of Truth say,
It’s time for a surprise. Watch for a surprise. Joy is incoming. Joy, unexpected joy is inbound. It will come in unexpectedly, launched at you like a grenade, and before you can even say a word, it will explode with light, life and vibrant colors revealing My promises kept to you.


But Lord, your endless love stretches from one eternity to the other, unbroken and unrelenting toward those who fear you and those who bow facedown in awe before you. Your faithfulness to keep every gracious promise you’ve made passes from parents, to children, to grandchildren, and beyond. You are faithful to all those who follow your ways and keep your word.

Psalms‬ ‭103‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Joy is inbound that will take your breath away. On the outside it will not look like something you should be excited about. It looks like something you should fear. But it will explode and bring such delight, wonder and the revelation of My promises fulfilled. Promises made are promises kept in My Kingdom. Watch for the explosion that releases full joy.


It was like a dream come true when you freed us from our bondage and brought us back to Zion! We laughed and laughed and overflowed with gladness. We were left shouting for joy and singing your praise. All the nations saw it and joined in, saying, “The Lord has done great miracles for them!” Yes, he did mighty miracles and we are overjoyed!

Psalms‬ ‭126‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭TPT‬‬

I’m releasing wonder, life and a fairytale-like air into your life — even in the midst of war — right there in the midst of war. Stay focused as you war. My delivery of explosive joy will meet you as you war.


How to Respond

  • Stay busy about your Father’s business, but raise your expectations and get your hopes up.
  • Pray, Thank You Lord that You see me and You know my heart’s desires. Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely. I am in awe of You and the way You love me and take care of me. Thank You that You are moving to bring explosive joy into my life. I am looking for it now.
  • Declare, How precious and wonderful to consider that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore!
  • Decree, I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I will experience a surprise that brings full joy and the revelation of the Lord’s promises to me being kept. I will stay busy about my Father’s business, and He will interrupt me even in the midst of war with an explosion of full joy.
