Today’s Reading:
Romans 12
“Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship. Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.”
Romans 12:1-2 TPT
The Spirit of the Lord says,
Make your trust in Me complete. Let your joy be full and your trust be complete. Let your passion for me be boiling hot — so much so that the concerns of the world are more distant than I Am. That I Am close and the concerns and troubles are distant, well out of arm’s reach. Let your trust in Me be so complete that you cannot be shaken. You cannot be pushed off of your mark.
“Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping your passion toward him boiling hot! Radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let him fill you with excitement as you serve him.”
Romans 12:11 TPT
This is a time to focus on comprehensive, overflowing joy, boiling hot passion and total trust. These are the keys to this season. These are the keys to living abundantly in breakthrough. Dance. Rejoice. Delight. Have fun. Dig deep, and return to that place of childlike joy. Go to the place of unfettered fun, delight and simple, silly pleasure. No stress lives in that place. No anxiety fills that space. Roll and tumble on the floor. Be ridiculous, and fall down laughing. The world will continue on its way. Enjoy the abundance of the life I have given you. Enjoy the now, the moment, the here. Take time to be present. Take purposeful action to rejoice and delight in Me. Live in the abundance of My grace. Clear your calendar and just have fun — for an hour, a day or a week. Fun is part of the mission. Fun is part of the commission. Fun is woven into life more abundant. Fun is built into the fabric of the life I have so lavishly given you.
“Let this hope burst forth within you, releasing a continual joy. Don’t give up in a time of trouble, but commune with God at all times.”
Romans 12:12 TPT
Your deep abiding trust, your immovable faith in Me makes life fun while the world is in chaos, while the world totters and teeters — it makes it possible. Radiant joy, boiling passion and absolute total trust — these are the keys for our moment. These are the keys for the breakthrough and in the breakthrough.
