Today’s Reading:
Hebrews 12
“As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us.
Hebrews 12:1 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
I’m breaking nations free. I’m setting nations free. These are days of great consequence. These are days of great importance. Stand firm. Be unshakeable. Be immovable. Be a reflection of Christ your King. These are days of warring, advancing. It will feel as if I Am causing the earth beneath your feet to move you forward. This is a time of rapid escalation, rapid advancement. And it will seem as if the earth is moving you forward. I will move you forward whether you move or not. If you listen to My voice, obey and respond, you will be moving forward, and you will be making double the strides for the effort. This is a time of advancement, forward motion and great momentum. Even if you stop, forward movement will not stop — just like on the moving sidewalks in an airport, you will be carried forward.
“We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God!”
Hebrews 12:2 TPT
Harken to the sound of my voice and pick up your pace. I desire for you to make great strides. I desire for you to outstrip the forces of evil competing against you. You can perceive the forward movement beneath your feet. You can hear My voice. Those with evil see everything as business as usual. They cannot perceive the changes in My time. They cannot perceive the acceleration except as a great increase in the anxiety and pressure that they feel. They can sense the change, but they don’t have the strategy to proceed, to advance or to win. The momentum is yours.
“So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures. After all, you have not yet reached the point of sweating blood in your opposition to sin. And have you forgotten his encouraging words spoken to you as his children? He said, “My child, don’t underestimate the value of the discipline and training of the Lord God, or get depressed when he has to correct you. For the Lord’s training of your life is the evidence of his faithful love. And when he draws you to himself, it proves you are his delightful child.””
Hebrews 12:3-6 TPT
We are transitioning through many rapid transitions. Stay attuned to My voice. Pain here is fleeting and temporary. You will soon forget the squeezing of one transition, because the next will be upon you. One after the next after the next. You will experience many phases of advancement, of cleansing, of disposal, of release — all in a very short period of time. Keep your eyes trained on Me, and keep the pace I have instructed. This is not a time for stepping back. The only way is forward. The only way is through. The time is now. The transitions and phases of rapid accelerated change are now. Keep on walking. I will see you through.
“Now all discipline seems to be painful at the time, yet later it will produce a transformation of character, bringing a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who yield to it. So be made strong even in your weakness by lifting up your tired hands in prayer and worship. And strengthen your weak knees, for as you keep walking forward on God’s paths all your stumbling ways will be divinely healed!”
Hebrews 12:11-13 TPT
It may feel like many birthings. It may feel like a great deal of pushing and birthing only to repeat the process very soon after. You push through. I will see you through. My grace is here for many rapid successive birthings. This is advancement and fruitfulness and a releasing and letting go of the old all at once, all of the time for this season, perhaps for several seasons. The instruction is to not slow down, not back down, not look down. Push forward. Push through. Advance. Birth what is inside of you. Let go of every hindrance. Refuse unbelief. My grace is driving you forward. Your effort here will enable you to cover twice the ground. This is double time.
How to Respond
- Draw near to the Lord. Make Him Your delight and make His joy your strength for the rapid period/periods of advancements into which we are now walking.
- Pray, Holy Spirit come. You are my strength, my shield, my reward, my comforter and my sustainer. Give me the courage, the boldness and the faith to keep advancing in this time of rapid acceleration that is beyond my control. Help me to be in agreement with Your instruction, to be moving forward, letting go of every hindrance and birthing the visions and dreams and blueprints You have put inside of me. I love You Lord. Thank You for this time where those who love You can see the strategy and advance in a way that far outstrips the enemy.
- Declare, great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. He is the God of times and seasons. He is the one who makes all things new. He makes all things beautiful in His time. We are the sheep of His pasture. He is making a way for us where there is no way. He is causing a great driving divine grace to advance us far beyond our wildest dreams.
- Decree, I will move forward at the pace that the Lord sets. I will advance. I will let go of all that is hindering me. I will leave the past behind, and I will make great strides in a remarkably short period of time. I will proceed in fruitfulness, pushing through the pain of birthing as often as the Lord calls for me to do so. I will be faithful. I will not falter, and I will not faint. I will be one who makes extraordinary, supernatural gains during this period of great advancement in the driving grace of the Lord.
