Today’s Reading:
Psalm 96
Psalm 97
‘Breathtaking brilliance and awe-inspiring majesty radiate from his shining presence. His stunning beauty overwhelms all who come before him. Surrender to the Lord Yahweh, all you nations and peoples. Surrender to him all your pride and strength. Confess that He alone deserves all the glory and honor. Bring an offering and come celebrate in his courts.’
Psalms 97:6,10-12 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
Graces untold. Love beyond measure. My grace is for the transition. My grace is for the change. My grace for the transition is here. My grace for the new day is dawning. Choose the triumph in Me. Choose the path of My grace. There is a way that seems right to man, but it leads to destruction. I have you on the narrow path. I have you on the narrow way. This is the path on which you will navigate the days of coming change. The seeds of change are planted in your heart. They are planted on the path and on all of the terrain beside it. Change will sprout up from the ground, from the mountainsides and mountaintops, and change will even rain down from the Heavens. Change is sprouting in your own heart. Can you perceive it?
‘Heaven’s messengers preach righteousness, and people everywhere see God’s glory in the sky! 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 97:6,10-12 TPT
A new day is here. A whole new time is near. This era will be one of transformational change. We are on the hinge of history at this moment. We are at the pivot point, the transitional days of the door just beginning to swing wide to change, to transformed, to new. What you are leaving behind will feel like a shedded old skin. It will feel like the old you, the old ways. The whole Earth is in the process of shedding this previous layer, shedding its previous identity and skin. What emerges will be transformed. It will have the same shape but a new purpose. It will have many familiar similarities but a different complexion. It will reflect the Son. The whole Earth will reflect the Son. The Earth will reflect the light of My glory. And each person who pursues My heart and My ways, each person who submits and is subdued by My love will be a new creation.
‘Let the skies sing for joy! Let the earth join in the chorus. Let oceans thunder and fields echo this ecstatic praise until every swaying tree of every forest joins in, lifting up their songs of joyous praise to him! For here he comes, the Lord God, and he’s ready to judge the world. He will do what’s right and can be trusted to always do what’s fair.’
Psalms 96:11,13 TPT
Those who have known me and those who have not — both will be made new. This is a time of staggering transformation. Like caterpillars emerging as butterflies in freedom and vibrant stunning color, so will many emerge. I’m transforming the whole Earth. Even the Earth herself will shed a former skin. All of creation is groaning to see the revealing of the sons and daughters of God. This is a time of that revealing. This is the time of a fresh new day, a totally transformed era and place. I will stun the world with My change.
How to Respond
- Submit to the Lord and pursue His face.
- Pray, Holy Spirit come. Let this sprouting and shedding time of change begin with me and my family. Let us be ones who more vividly reflect Your Son Jesus. Let us be ones who are obviously the sons and daughters of the King. Move the whole world through this shedding of the former self and former ways — even the Earth itself. Let nothing remain the same. Cause everything to be a more beautiful and accurate reflection of You.
- Declare, the Heavens declare Your glory. The Lord determines the times and seasons. He makes all things new. And He makes all things beautiful in His timing.
- Decree, great is the Lord and worthy of all glory, honor and praise. I will submit to the shedding of old ways, old identities and old thinking. I will submit to the sprouting of change in my own heart. I will gladly be part of the stunning transformation the Lord is causing to rise up from the ground, pour down from the Heavens and even be birthed from within our own hearts. The whole Earth will reflect the glory of the Lord, and it will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God.
