Today’s Reading:
Luke 10
Isaiah 49
”And now, the Lord Yahweh— who shaped me in the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob’s tribes back to him that Israel would be gathered back to him, for I am honored in the sight of Yahweh. I find the source of all my strength in my God— Who can snatch the prey from the hands of a mighty warrior or rescue captives from a conqueror? But Yahweh says: “The prey will be freed from the mighty warrior, and captives will be rescued from a conqueror! For I will fight with those who fight with you, and I myself will save your children. I will cause the violence of your oppressors to come back upon them, and your enemies will kill one another in a killing frenzy! Then all the earth will know that I am Yahweh, your Savior, your Kinsman-Redeemer, the mighty hero of Jacob’s tribes.”
Isaiah 49:5, 24-26 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
Troops are arrayed for battle. Don’t be standing around out of place. Don’t be caught off guard. Get into your positions. Man your stations. This is a time to be on red alert. This is a time to be one hundred percent at the ready. Dark forces are arrayed against you. Dark forces are arrayed against your King, the Eternal One. It’s not a fair battle. It’s not a fair fight. The enemy never plays fair. He never plays clean. Yet you still have the upper hand, because I Am with you, and I Am for you. I Am upholding you with My righteous right hand. Creatures are surfacing in the swamp. Some have long been identified. Others are emerging only now. Still others will emerge later in the game. The battle has arrayed in the swamp. This is territory the enemy knows well, but I have given you the power to tread on serpents, snakes and scorpions. I have given you the power and authority to crush Satan underneath your feet. Yours is a freedom march. Yours is a victory stance. Don’t fear the onslaught. Don’t fear the bombardment. Don’t fear what lies beneath the surface. I have given you everything you need. You hold it in your hand.
”Jesus replied, “While you were ministering, I watched Satan topple until he fell suddenly from heaven like lightning to the ground. Now you understand that I have imparted to you my authority to trample over his kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will harm you as you walk in this authority. However, your real source of joy isn’t merely that these spirits submit to your authority, but that your names are written in the journals of heaven and that you belong to God’s kingdom. This is the true source of your authority.”
Luke 10:18-20 TPT
War with the words of prophesy I have given you. Sing songs of worship, and watch as the creatures with the enemy flee. Watch as your words, your mouth giving voice to My words will clear out the corruption, will detoxify the pollution and will bring clarity and peace, honor, honesty and righteous governance again — even in the swamp, even to the swamp. I want to partner with you to transform the swamp with worship, with praise, with mighty weapons of warfare, with testimony, with prophecy and with laughter. Come with hilarious generosity and pour out your gifts boldly and without fear. Bring your generous gifts into My house, to my faithful counselors who live in the light of My Word and have committed to only speak the truth, only speak what I say — with no equivocation or fear. Pour out your hilarious generosity on these warriors of truth, on these John the Baptist types who are making the way for repentance and the Great Harvest. As you give voice to My words over the swamp, in the swamp, to the swamp and surrounding the swamp, watch as it clears up before your very eyes. Watch as what was murky, dark and sinister becomes a beautiful, safe, clear spring from which to drink, in which to delight, in which to see My glory and where it is so common to glorify Me.
”Yahweh says: “When the time of showing you favor has come, I will answer your heart’s cry. I will help you in the day of salvation, for I have fixed my eyes on you. I have made you a covenant people to restore the land and to resettle families on forgotten inheritances. You will declare to prisoners, ‘You’re free!’ and to those in darkness, ‘Step out into the light!’ They will be like sheep that graze beside the roads and find pasture on the barren hillside. They will never be hungry or thirsty. Neither scorching sun nor desert wind will hurt them, for he, the Loving One, will guide them and lead them to restful, renewing streams of water.“
Isaiah 49:8-10 TPT
Partner with Me to transform the swamp. It’s time for your bold declarations of prophecy. It’s time for you to be boldly giving voice to My words from your mouth. It’s time to sing praises like you’ve never sung before. It’s time to war with these most essential, most effective weapons of warfare. Partner with Me, and we will transform the swamp into a beautiful spring. Don’t fear the swamp. Don’t fear the storm. Don’t fear the looming war even as it rapidly approaches. I have given you everything you need. Let my words ever be on your lips. You have nothing and no one to fear.
