Today’s Reading:
John 14-16
“Those who truly love me are those who obey my commands. Whoever passionately loves me will be passionately loved by my Father. And I will passionately love him in return and will reveal myself to him.” Jesus replied, “Loving me empowers you to obey my word. And my Father will love you so deeply that we will come to you and make you our dwelling place.”
John 14:21, 23 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
Trust in Me that I remain in you. I remain in you. I never leave you nor forsake you. I don’t wander, and I don’t stray. I Am firmly planted deeply inside of you, because you have chosen Me back. I chose you first, and you have chosen Me back. Therefore, My strength will remain in you. My Spirit has its dwelling in you. You are a holy temple of the Lord, set apart. You are a place of worship, a house of worship. My Living Waters find their Source in you, because My Spirit lives inside of you. My Spirit is the Source of Living Waters. Therefore, you have access.
“So you must remain in life-union with me, for I remain in life-union with you. For as a branch severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to mine.”
John 15:4 TPT
Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. That’s not figurative. It’s very literal. I WILL remain in you. I have taken up residence inside of you. You always have access to Me — to My heart, to the mind of Christ, to the power of Holy Spirit who lives and flows within you. Whom or what shall you fear? Come what may, I Am within you. If you remain in Me, I will always remain in you. Even if the forces of hell are marshaled together against you, you have absolutely nothing to fear, because He who is IN YOU is greater than he who is in the world. You have nothing to fear, for I Am with you. I will never ever leave you nor forsake you. Nor have I ever in all your days. Rejoice in Me. Delight yourself in Me. Stir up your up great love for Me. These are days of abundance and victory. Even amidst the storm, you will live in abundance and victory. And you will live in an abundance of victory. I Am your Savior and your reward, and every victory has already been won. I conquered sin and death. What is there left to fear? If I have conquered sin and death, what remains for you? Holiness, hope and life more abundant. That’s your portion in Me. That’s your inheritance in My Kingdom.
“And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows, but you must be courageous, for I have conquered the world!””
John 16:33 TPT
Whom or what shall you fear? Your Lord is great. Your Lord is THE Mighty Warrior who saves. What can stand against you? Certainly not a court of law. Certainly not a man. Certainly not a band of thieves. Certainly not a rogue government and the forces of evil and darkness in the world. I have overcome them all. I have conquered them all, and you share the great victory — in Me. You have nothing to fear. You live in victory, and you war and you fight in great joy and delight from the posture and stance of victory. Praise the Lord. Worship your King. Praise His holy Name.
How to Respond
- Stir up your love for the Lord. Stir up thanksgiving and spend time in prayer thanking the Lord for all that He has done in your life.
- Pray, Holy Spirit, fill me up. Help me to be a holy container for Your glory. Help me to be a place you love to dwell, because I Am overflowing with worship, delight in You and thanksgiving for all that You have done. Thank You that You go before me in every battle, that You provide strategy, connections and strength for each battle that I face. You know the end of them all before they even appear in my life. Thank You that You are THE Mighty Warrior who fights for us. Thank You that You have already won every battle, and that in You I have nothing and no one to fear.
- Declare, great is the Lord and worthy of all glory, honor and praise. He is the God of Angel Armies. He is the great and glorious King. He is my Savior and the one who rescued me from sin, hell and the grave. He is the ever-victorious One. In Him, I have nothing and no one to fear.
- Decree, In the Lord Jesus my Savior, every battle has already been won. The Lord my God fights for me. He goes before me, and He has my back even when no one else does. He is the one I can trust, can rely on and in whom I can put my full faith and trust. I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I will see the breakthrough of the Lord on my behalf. I will see the Lord show Himself strong. And I already live in victory, because the Lord Jesus Christ lives and reigns in me; and Holy Spirit — who IS the same power source that raised Christ from the grave — dwells in me. I operate from the victory that my Lord has won. I shall not fear.
