Today’s Reading:
Proverbs 31
Who could ever find a wife like this one — she is a woman of strength and mighty valor! She’s full of wealth and wisdom. The price paid for her was greater than many jewels. Her husband has entrusted his heart to her, for she brings him the rich spoils of victory. All throughout her life she brings him what is good and not evil. She searches out continually to possess that which is pure and righteous. She delights in the work of her hands. She gives out revelation-truth to feed others. She is like a trading ship bringing divine supplies from the merchant.
Proverbs 31:10-14 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God who reigns say,
Inbound truth has a resonance and a sound. Don’t fret about your ability to know the truth or find the truth. The inbound truth has a resonance and a sound that strikes a chord in your heart. The chords of your heart are tuned to righteousness, truth and love. When something other than these hits the strings of your heart, discord is the sound and the feeling produced. Dissonance and dis-ease are the sounds and feelings produced. I Am the God of truth. I literally Am truth itself. Anything not of Me will fall flat as it fails to vibrate on the keys of your heart provided by Heaven.
She is not afraid of tribulation, for all her household is covered in the dual garments of righteousness and grace. Her clothing is beautifully knit together — a purple gown of exquisite linen. Her husband is famous and admired by all, sitting as the venerable judge of his people. Even her works of righteousness she does for the benefit of her enemies. Bold power and glorious majesty are wrapped around her as she laughs with joy over the latter days.
Proverbs 31:21-25 TPT
Don’t fear the days ahead. Like the Proverbs 31 woman, I have given you the advantage to such an extent that you can even laugh at the days ahead, because you know me. You know My voice and a stranger’s voice you will not follow. These are days where darkness and dark enchantments will swirl, and chaos, demonic spirits and evil will try to engulf your life and the scene. But the light in you is greater than the darkness. I have given you My Spirit, and My light dispels the darkness. My light is always greater than the darkness, no matter how dark it gets. I want you to walk and live and breathe and work with the confidence of the Proverbs 31 bride of Christ. Whom or what shall you fear? Though dark clouds may form and gather, I have provided a protected place for you under the covering of My glorious and secure grace canopy.
Even in the night season she arises and sets food on the table for hungry ones in her house and for others. She sets her heart upon a field and takes it as her own. She labors there to plant the living vines. She wraps herself in strength, might, and power in all her works. She tastes and experiences a better substance, and her shining light will not be extinguished, no matter how dark the night.
Proverbs 31:15-18 TPT
Choose to run forward and live and laugh with the spirit of a wild warrior in love. Life is ahead. Conquering and winning days are ahead. The uncovering of treasures hidden in darkness lies ahead. Great exploits and advancements for My Kingdom and My Name’s sake are ahead. Don’t be discouraged by the dark clouds that appear overhead. Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world — all day, every day, every time, all of the time.
I have positioned you and trained you. I have equipped you and purified you. I have prepared you in the secret hidden place, and you My dear one, My warrior king, you are ready for war. This next phase of battle is for those who want to conquer, take back, stake a claim and occupy with Me. These are the days that make a warrior’s heart soar. I Am the winning strategy.
How to Respond
- Ensure that your heart and mind are fixed on the Lord. Discipline your mind to not allow fear, anxiety or worry a place. They are not your portion.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for being with me, for leading me into all truth and for equipping me for this next phase of battle. Help me to live like the Proverbs 31 woman — focused, disciplined, serving and providing for the needs of many as I boldly advance in Your righteous causes.
- Declare, I am not afraid of tribulation because I and all of my household are clothed in the righteousness and grace of Christ.
- Decree, I know the sound of the Lord’s voice and heed it. I do not fear lies, manipulation or deception because Holy Spirit lives within me, guiding me into all truth. I don’t fear darkness, chaos or unrest, because the Lord has positioned me for prospering, advancing, winning and influencing nations for His Kingdom. I am walking boldly forward as a warrior king, and as I war alongside my Savior King Jesus, I will see every victory.
