Today’s Reading:
1 Peter 1
1 Peter 2
You are not forgotten, for you have been chosen and destined by Father God. The Holy Spirit has set you apart to be God’s holy ones, obedient followers of Jesus Christ who have been gloriously sprinkled with his blood. May God’s delightful grace and peace cascade over you many times over!
1 Peter 1:2 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living Holy God say,
Holiness is rising. This is a generation set apart for Me. Tolerance for sin is diminishing. Acceptance of lies is eroding. Weak willed Christianity is dying. And warriors of purity with hearts of fiery passion are rising to lead. The gospel of false grace is crumbling. Institutions that call themselves churches yet serve another god — whether self, convenience, money or fame — these churches, these so-called churches — are falling, and they will crumble to the ground. They will sink to depths few thought possible, and their own structures will cave in and crumble on them.
So then, prepare your hearts and minds for action! Stay alert and fix your hope firmly on the marvelous grace that is coming to you. For when Jesus Christ is unveiled, a greater measure of grace will be released to you. As God’s obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn’t know better. Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One who called you. For Scripture says: “You are to be holy, because I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:13-16 TPT
Truth is being exalted. Truth is being heralded in a pure, beautiful sound, with a strength and a purity not seen in many generations. This truth will resound like a dinner bell, and many will run to it to be fed. The true shepherds, the true intercessors, the true apostles, prophets and teachers will rejoice like Simeon and Anna at the arrival of Jesus to the temple for his dedication. They will see and recognize that a prophetic time has come. They will see that their prayers of many years have taken shape. They will see and be moved by the purity of response to the Gospel of the Kingdom and the teaching of My Word. It will be a beautiful and tender time. It will be a powerful and strong time. And it will be a war time. I have been equipping and continue to equip the saints for war. Many of you were born into a war you could not perceive and have only recently become aware of it. It has raged for many years, and the level of raging and warfare has increased. But I have equipped you. I have designed you for war. Do not fear. You can relish in the war, because warriors like you were made for war.
[…] you are God’s chosen treasure —priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience his marvelous light, and now he claims you as his very own. He did this so that you would broadcast his glorious wonders throughout the world. For at one time you were not God’s people, but now you are. At one time you knew nothing of God’s mercy, because you hadn’t received it yet, but now you are drenched with it!
1 Peter 2:9-10 TPT
This is a season of conquerors arising. This is a season when kings go out to war and will not accept defeat. Rise up in strength. Rise up in purity. Put on the whole armor of God, and advance in the work I have called you to do. Clear territory for your family, your community and for My Name’s sake. This is a time of warring and winning. You will see much winning as purity, as these pure ones enter the battle. The songs they lift from their hearts, from their mouths will rise and bring great destruction on the enemy.
How to Respond
- Keep yourself in purity. Be quickly and fully obedient to the Lord.
- Pray, Lord thank You for seeing fit for me to alive at this incredible time in history. Help me to not give in to fear but instead to rise up in purity filled with a fiery passion for You. I desire to be a great warrior for the Kingdom who clears much territory for my family, community and for future generations.
- Declare, the Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness therein. He raises kings up and he puts others down. He has given us all we need for life and godliness. He is the giver of every good and perfect gift and the Father of Heavenly Lights. In Him is no shifting shadow.
- Decree, I will rise in purity, faith and obedience to the Lord. I will go out to the battlefield to which He is calling me. I will not hesitate or back up. I will run in and conquer that territory, because He has said it is mine. I will take the hill country. I will see the victory, and I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
