Today’s Readings:
Isaiah 60
Galatians 3
Psalm 92
5 Let me ask you again: What does the lavish supply of the Holy Spirit in your life and the miracles of God’s tremendous power have to do with you keeping religious laws? The Holy Spirit is poured out upon us through the revelation and power of faith!
Galatians 3:5
The Lord says,
My pleasure is here. My pleasure is with you and on you. And as you spend time in My Presence, it just keeps getting better. As you spend time in My Presence, your field of vision gets sharper and clearer, your hearing is attuned to the sound of My voice. Your heart is moved by what moves My heart.
12 Yes! Look how you’ve made all your devoted lovers
Psalm 92:12-15
to flourish like palm trees,
each one growing in victory, standing with strength!
13 You’ve transplanted them into your heavenly courtyard,
where they are thriving before you,
14 for in your presence they will still overflow and be anointed.
Even in their old age they will stay fresh,
bearing luscious fruit and abiding faithfully.
15 Listen to them! With pleasure they still proclaim:
“You’re so good! You’re my beautiful strength!
You’ve never made a mistake with me.”
Sit with Me. Stay with Me. Dwell in My Presence, and all of this will keep getting better. Take joy in My Presence. Don’t take it for granted. Treasure it. Treasure the arrival of My Presence. May your heart overflow with delight at the arrival of My Presence, the supernatural arrival of My Presence. If you can believe for that, if you can experience that, why does your faith stop short of My wonderful works? Expect blessing. Expect favor. Expect outrageous provision. Expect laughter. Expect joy. Expect to thrive and grow and be fruitful. Expect healing. Expect breakthrough. Expect victory in every setting.
60 “Rise up in splendor and be radiant, for your light has dawned,
Isaiah 60:1-5
and Yahweh’s glory now streams from you!
2 Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth,
and thick gloom covers the nations,
but Yahweh arises upon you
and the brightness of his glory appears over you!
3 Nations will be attracted to your radiant light
and kings to the sunrise-glory of your new day.
4 Lift up your eyes higher! Look all around you and believe,
for your sons are returning from far away
and your daughters are being tenderly carried home.
Watch as they all gather together, eager to come back to you!
5 “Then you will understand and be radiant.
Your heart will be thrilled and swell with joy.
The fullness of the sea will flow to you
and the wealth of the nations will be transferred to you!
When you live in My Presence, when you live from the superabundance of My Pleasure on your life, you will see that both internally and externally your life is in a constant state of improving. You will see My wonder working power changing you and causing the world around you to do My bidding, to supply your every need, to rush forward with grace and favor, to bless you. Though circumstances are difficult and situations are tough, choose to protest against circumstance and situation by dwelling in My Presence, by choosing to set your eyes and your mind on Me instead of what surrounds you.
11 Your gateways will always remain wide open
Isaiah 60:11
around the clock to let in the procession of kings
bringing their constant stream of the riches of the nations.
In My Presence and through My Pleasure, you will see and experience change. You will find your perspective changes, your vision changes and strategies and and favor flock to you as in a great caravan. Experience the rich overflow, the superabundance of life in My Pleasure and My Presence. You will see things slow down to a manageable pace. You will see almost as in slow motion My favor and My grace touch your places of of deep need and surprise you in places you couldn’t have hoped for.
Choose to dwell in My Presence. Pursue Me. Pursue My Presence above all else. And you will say, “since I learned to dwell with the Lord, everything just keeps getting better.”
