Today’s Readings:
Psalm 16
Matthew 5
Isaiah 51
11 You will make known to me the path of life;
Psalm 16:11
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
The Lord says,
We are coming into greater days of greater things. Unbridle your hope and let it run wild. Cast an outrageously wonderful vision for the future with Me, and let’s run after it together. Watch as I place beautiful surprises all along the path that make it even better than you could have hoped or imagined. Dream big. These are days to dream bigger than you ever have. These are days to believe big and walk in great faith. Say it with Me, these are the days where nothing is impossible.
8 I have set the Lord continually before me;
Psalm 16:8-9
Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will dwell securely.
Nothing is impossible with God, and I Am here. I Am right here with you. Dream bigger. Believe bigger. Don’t let your bean counting limit you. I Am the God of all creation. The silver and gold are mine, and I have an unlimited treasury. Test Me in these things. Start with the dream you have. Set it before Me, and then ask Me how that dream could be bigger, better, more exciting, more fulfilling, more wonderful. Ask Me, and I will show you. I will tell you, and I will watch My word to perform it. I will do it, and you will have many delights as testimony.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Psalm 16:6
Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.
The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. If I do it for you, and you share that testimony, it lights a fire of faith in the listener, and it becomes a prophetic word to them. Your promise fulfilled plants the seed of a new dream in the ones you tell. Your testimony of My faithfulness is prophecy to your friends, your family, your colleagues, your neighbors. As they watch your life and as you tell your stories of My goodness and faithfulness, they will watch, and see and hear and believe. And so this is a season of My delight. This is a season where it is My delight to delight you beyond what you could could dream for. So dream, watch, run with Me and be delighted. But share that delight.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16
Don’t hide delight under a bushel. No set your delight up high, so it becomes a witness and a testimony to those around you. It becomes the seed of a dream and a promise for someone else. That seed may be what draws them to Me. So don’t hide your delight under a bushel in this season. Live out loud. Live full of thanksgiving. Don’t fear that you are bragging or making others feel less than. I give good gifts to draw them to Me. It is My kindness that leads them to repentance. Let them see My kindness! This season of delights will amaze you. Tell the stories. Be one who endlessly speaks of My goodness and favor and plants that seed of hope in Me in the hearts of those around you. What a fun and exciting time we are in. Find the delights I have placed in your path. Acknowledge them. Celebrate them. Relive and recount them, and see how you light a torch of faith, hope and desire in others.
14 The exile will soon be set free, and will not die in the dungeon, nor will his bread be lacking. 15 For I am the Lord your God, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar (the Lord of hosts is His name).
Isaiah 51:14-15
The Lord’s Army — made up of people and angels — is marching steadily toward the East They are marching to Philadelphia in search of liberty. They are going to free freedom in Philadelphia. She is surrounded, entangled and held captive as if in a web of lies and deception. Though she is bound, she is still enshrined. Those in charge would prefer to have a monument to freedom and a prop that represents freedom to give the perception of freedom without the reality of her.
They don’t want to release the real, true living freedom, because her release destroys the reign of control and the stranglehold of tyranny. But even now, My people and My angels are working together to unbind freedom and release her from her captivity that has been long increasing. She is coming forth like Lazarus out of the tomb, bound and unable to see or speak. But she is alive, and she will be unwound and unbound. When the bindings and wrappings are removed, when the burial headdress is taken off, she will roar with a terrifying ferocious roar that causes tyranny, oppression and control to drop dead from the terror of it.
11 So the ransomed of the Lord will return
Isaiah 51:11
And come with joyful shouting to Zion,
And everlasting joy will be on their heads.
They will obtain gladness and joy,
And sorrow and sighing will flee away.
Bound and contained no longer, freedom is being loosed in the land. Freedom is being unbound at its source in Philadelphia, and she will unleash a roar such as never been heard before in America and around the world. Run now tyranny. Run now oppression. Run now control. She will slay you with her mighty roar. She will take no prisoners. She will destroy all that has been party to keeping her captive and bound. Her rage and vengeance knows no bounds. She will silence and slay every enemy of hers. She will be prisoner no more. Liberty will reign in victory. Yes, victory will be hers. She will have the final word.

- Declare, the Lord is moving in ways that will delight His people and inspire many more to move closer to Him.
- Declare, the Lord has activated His army to release liberty from her captivity, and they are removing her bindings even now.
- Decree, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. The Lord’s army is on a rescue mission to free liberty from her confinement, captivity and bindings. They will succeed, because He never fails. When freedom is released in the land, she will roar with an ear splitting roar that destroys tyranny, oppression and control in America. It’s ripple effects will be heard and seen around the world.
