Today’s Reading:
Matthew 16
Psalm 46
Psalm 47
Psalm 48
Psalm 49
”Simon Peter spoke up and said, “You are the Anointed One, the Son of the living God!” Jesus replied, “You are favored and privileged Simeon, son of Jonah! For you didn’t discover this on your own, but my Father in heaven has supernaturally revealed it to you. I give you the name Peter, a stone. And this rock will be the bedrock foundation on which I will build my church—my legislative assembly, and the power of death will not be able to overpower it! I will give you the keys of heaven’s kingdom realm to forbid on earth that which is forbidden in heaven, and to release on earth that which is released in heaven.”“
Matthew 16:16-19 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
I’m marching in the heavens. I’m marching My army forward in the heavenlies. They are dethroning principalities and taking out kings by your words. Lighting strikes, precision strikes from the heavenlies are dethroning territorial leaders, kings and principalities. They are destroying hell-raised kingdoms on the Earth and clearing the way for the beautiful seed that My lovers have sown in the Earth and in the heavens — making room for those to grow.
”So we will never fear even if every structure of support were to crumble away. We will not fear even when the earth quakes and shakes, moving mountains and casting them into the sea. For the raging roar of stormy winds and crashing waves cannot erode our faith in you. Pause in his presence“
Psalms 46:2-3 TPT
This is a time of transformation. This is time of kingdoms shaking. Mine is the Kingdom that cannot be shaken. Do not be shaken. Do not get shook. Powers behind these rulers are falling in the invisible realm, in the unseen realm and behind the curtains. They are falling and will continue to fall. And it will make headlines as this, “one who was a great philanthropist,” “one who was a great supporter of the arts,” “one who supported great causes for democracy and children has died.” And these were the puppet masters. They are falling, and the kingdoms they have established for darkness will crumble and fall into the sea. The shaking is shaking people awake, and it is destroying kingdoms built on sand, built on shifting sand and evil, built on men’s ambition and avarice and greed, built on hell’s agenda. This is a moment to watch for news of great financiers, great philanthropists and great patriarchs and even matriarchs of banking family empires to fall, to die. I have caused the ground beneath their empire to crumble, and it is now a sinkhole. None can step on this place to fill their role. Their kingdom was built on sinking sand, and hell’s agenda will crumble before your eyes.
”God is in the midst of his city, secure and never shaken. At daybreak his help will be seen with the appearing of the dawn. When the nations are in uproar with their tottering kingdoms, God simply raises his voice, and the earth begins to disintegrate before him. Here he comes! The Commander! The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side! The God of Jacob fights for us! Pause in his presence Everyone look! Come and see the breathtaking wonders of our God. For he brings both ruin and revival. He’s the one who makes conflicts end throughout the earth, breaking and burning every weapon of war. Surrender your anxiety. Be still and realize that I am God. I am God above all the nations, and I am exalted throughout the whole earth. Here he stands! The Commander! The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side! The God of Jacob fights for us! Pause in his presence“
Psalms 46:5-11 TPT
Though it was not so obvious to the masses, the absence of their wicked influence will bring life and healing. The Kingdom of Heaven will flood in and fill that space. And My mountains will rise to greater heights, and the kingdoms built on hell’s agenda will crumble and fall and even find themselves consumed by the Earth. Hell’s agenda is failing. It is meeting its demise. And the words, the decrees, the commands of My people binding and loosing, speaking what is not into existence is instructing Heaven’s armies to destroy, dismantle and dethrone the rulers of hell’s kingdoms.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord show me and tell me what words to say, what decrees to make so that Your angel armies can do the work of dismantling, destroying and dethroning hell’s kingdoms on the Earth. Thank You that even now they are clearing out kingdoms of darkness and making room for Your Kingdom to flood and fill that space.
- Declare, the Lord’s Kingdom cannot be shaken. He will not be moved. He is moving and marching on behalf of His children, on behalf of the peoples and nations of the world, to rescue them from the reign of darkness. He is partnering with us — through our obedience and declarations — to take leaders and kingdoms down and to raise others up.
- Decree, my God is Lord of all. He is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. He is moving to perform His Word and has released His angel armies to destroy hell’s kingdoms on the Earth at the instructive word of His people. His angels harken to His Word being spoken by His people.
- Our God reigns over every nation. He reigns on his holy throne over all. All the nobles and princes, the loving servants of the God of Abraham, they all gather to worship. Every warrior’s shield is now lowered as surrendered trophies before this King. He has taken his throne, high and lofty, exalted over all! (Psalm 47:8-9)
- See how the mighty kings united to come against Zion, yet when they saw God manifest in front of their eyes they were stunned. Trembling they all fled away gripped with fear. Seized with panic, they doubled up in frightful anguish like a woman in the labor pains of childbirth. Like a hurricane blowing and breaking the invading ships, God blows upon them and breaks them to pieces. We have heard about these wonders and then we saw them with our own eyes. For this is the city of the Commander of Angel Armies, the city of our God, safe and secure forever! (Psalm 48:4-8)
- Even though they name streets and lands after themselves hoping to have their memory endure beyond the grave, legends in their own minds, their home address is now the cemetery. A shepherd called “Death” herds them, leading them like mindless sheep straight to hell. Yet at daybreak you will find the righteous ruling in their place. Every trace of them will be gone forever with all their “glory’ lost in the darkness of their doom. (Psalm 49:10-11, 14)
