Today’s Readings:
Psalm 89
Isaiah 57-58
18 Even though I’ve seen their ways, I will heal them.
Isaiah 57:18-19
I will guide them forward and repay them with comfort,
giving mourners the language of praise.
19 I offer peace to those who are far from me,
and I offer peace to those who are near,
and I will heal their deepest wounds,” says Yahweh.
The Lord says,
It’s time to fly again. It’s time to pick up the broken pieces, stitch them back together and fly again. Be healed, so you can fly again. It’s time to soar. It’s time for for My favor and our love for each other — My love for you and your love for Me — to cause you to fly. It’s time for you to emerge again to a place of great freedom, to a place of freedom that you have never known.
Let go of all that is entangling you. Cast off unbelief and limiting thoughts. Cast off negative patterns of thoughts and words that curse your own soul and life. Remember the power I have put in your words. Harness that for your authority. Harness it for your good. Do not be one who self-destructs by their own tongue. Be very disciplined and purposeful in the use of your words. They are weapons. They should be used with care. They should always have a target. That’s how you are to handle them. Use them to take hold of the authority I have given you. Use them to war and to win against the forces of darkness that have come against you and your family, your community, country and world. War and conquer with the prophecies I have given you. Speak the scriptures over your life and war with them as well. Speak life into your own body, mind and soul. Recognize the power of your words. Recognize the authority that your voice carries. Mend up the broken places.
11 Yahweh will always guide you where to go and what to do.
Isaiah 58:11-12
He will fill you with refreshment
even when you are in a dry, difficult place.
He will continually restore strength to you,
so you will flourish like a well-watered garden
and like an ever-flowing, trustworthy spring of blessing.
12 Your people will rebuild long-deserted ruins,
building anew on foundations laid long before you.
You will be known as Repairers of the Cities
and Restorers of Communities.
Build up the waste places in your own life. Build them back up. Restore yourself in My Presence. Restore your mind with My Word and My love. Build up those broken parts. And cast away everything inside of you that does not reflect My Word, or My image. If the words in your mind or heart cannot stand before Me, if they do not bear My reflection, cast them away into the outer darkness and never pick them up again. It’s time to be whole. It’s time to heal yourself in My Presence, with My Word. Use My Word to war and win.
14 Yahweh says, “Let the people return to me.
Isaiah 57:14-16
Build! Build up the road, clear the way, and get it ready!
Remove every obstacle from their path.”
15 For this is what the high and majestic one says,
the one who fills the eternal realm with glory,
whose name is Holy:
“I dwell in high and holy places
but also with the bruised and lowly in spirit,
those who are humble and quick to repent.
I dwell with them to revive the spirit of the humble,
to revive the heart of those who are broken over their sin.
16 You will not find me continually accusing them
or holding anger against them,
lest they feel defeated and lose heart before me.
For I am the One who gave the breath of life to my people.
It’s time to fly and to soar. It’s time to get into the slipstream of My grace and live riding on the wind of My favor. It’s time to soar. It’s time to live in total freedom. Break off the chains of the past. Re-write history and regret by sitting with Me. Hold those hurtful moments, the mistakes, the sin and the pain before Me. Hold them before Me. Ask Me to show you My perspective of those moments that have become great weights on your heart and great baggage that you carry around. Ask Me for My perfect vantage point. I will show you My heart. I will show you where I was. I will restore those times, moments and broken places if you hold them before Me. I will heal you and forgive you. Whatever the wound calls for, I have the salve to bind up that broken place, to heal and restore it. This is not unto death. Ask Me to breathe life and healing into those places.
15 O Lord, how blessed are the people
Psalm 89:15-18
who know the triumphant shout,
for they walk in the radiance of your presence.
16 We can do nothing but leap for joy all day long,
for we know who you are and what you do,
and you’ve exalted us on high.
17 The glory of your splendor is our strength,
and your marvelous favor makes us even stronger,
lifting us even higher!
18 You are our King, the holiest one of all;
your wraparound presence is our protection.
Yes, partner with Me to build up these waste places, so that you may soar. Build up the waste places, so that I, the Mighty King of Glory have a perfected throne in your heart. Build up the waste places, so there is a beautiful and holy place for My Spirit to dwell. Build up the waste places. Fill your heart and mind with My truth, My faithfulness; and be anointed by the oils of My grace and love. Cast off all that hinders you. It is time to soar. It is time for total and complete freedom.
How to Respond
- Choose today to discipline your mind and your mouth. What you say is who you are. Purpose to get rid of those thought patterns and words that do not reflect the truth of the Lord. Self-depreciation and beating yourself up is not a little thing in the sight of the Lord.
- Treat yourself with honor. You were made in the very image of God, and you are His child.
- Sit with the Lord, and hold any broken places — hurtful memories, regrets, pain, sin — before Him. Ask Him to give you His perspective and replace and restore those moments in your heart and mind.
- Determine that your heart will be a holy place, continually moving toward the Lord and His ways, so that Holy Spirit has a holy place to call home inside of you.
- Declare, the Lord is breaking through.
- Declare, the Lord is moving in healing and restoration.
- Declare, the Lord is partnering with us in our healing and restoration to bring total freedom.
