Today’s Reading:
Hebrews 1
Habakkuk 1
Matthew 5
Isaiah 60
But about his Son, he called him “God,” saying, “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever and you will rule your kingdom with justice and righteousness, For you have cherished righteousness and detested lawlessness. For this reason, God, your God, has anointed you and poured out the oil of bliss on you more than on any of your friends.
Hebrews 1:8-9 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
My grace is lighting the whole world on fire with My love. I have anointed you and drenched you with the oil of My favor. You will burn brightly in their midst. They will see you as a beacon and a source lamp, a lamp to which to come for teaching, impartation and refilling. The anointing is heavy upon you. It drenches you and fills you. The oil of My favor and the knowledge of Me has been poured out heavily in your life. It marks everything about you and fills you from the inside. You are a fountain of oil, a lamp fountain of oil whose Source never runs dry.
And again, when he brought his firstborn Son into the world: “Let all my angels bow down before him and kiss him in worship.” And about his angels he says, “I make my angels swift winds, and my ministers fiery flames.”
Hebrews 1:6-7 TPT
I have anointed you and appointed you for such a time as this. As the world seems to be plunged into darkness and the fuse of My grace begins to burn, you will see the light of my grace fueled by My love come to many, come to touch the whole world. And they will be looking for those who look like Me. They will be seeking for those whose voice sounds like Mine, whose presence bears My Spirit and My Name. And you will rise up as a mighty flame, as a powerful flame in the midst of darkness. And the darkness shall not overcome you or overwhelm you. The light will be a great imposition to darkness. It will derail the plans of darkness. It will illuminate and expose the plans of darkness. All the while the light will be multiplying as the fuse of My grace powered by My love touches the world.
Rise up in splendor and be radiant, for your light has dawned, and Yahweh’s glory now streams from you! Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth, and thick clouds covers the nations, but Yahweh arises upon you and the brightness of his glory appears over you! Nations will be attracted to your radiant light and kings to the sunrise-glory of your new day. Lift up your eyes higher! Look all around you and believe, for your sons are returning from far away and your daughters are being tenderly carried home. Watch as they all gather together, eager to come back to you!
Isaiah 60:1-4 TPT
This is a time like Abraham rescuing Lot from utter darkness with My help. This is a great rescue mission. But this time cities steeped in corruption, darkness and perversion will be saved. This is not the time where only one has a heart for rescue. Hearts have softened and are even softening now, and whole cities will be saved. I Am bringing complete transformation to entire cities, regions, states and even nations.
Look among the nations! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your days— You would not believe if you were told.
Habakkuk 1:5 NASB1995
If it would it have been told to you, you wouldn’t believe it. But I Am telling you and revealing it to you now. So don’t count anyone out. Don’t let the plans of wickedness stand. Push back. War back. Let your light so shine before men that they will see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven. Arise, shine for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. This is now. This is a now word. This day is upon you.
How to Respond
- Draw ever nearer to the Lord.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for moving in grace, love and extraordinary favor. Give me Your heart of compassion for those who have even been steeped in deep darkness. Help me to rise up boldly and shine as the beacon of hope, as the voice of truth You have anointed and appointed me to be. Help me to rise up in worship warfare to push back and destroy the wicked plans of the enemy to derail men from following You. Draw all mankind to Yourself as You have said.
- Declare, Your lives light up the world. For how can you hide a city that stands on a hilltop? And who would light a lamp and then hide it in an obscure place? Instead, it’s placed where everyone in the house can benefit from its light. So don’t hide your light! Let it shine brightly before others, so that your commendable works will shine as light upon them, and then they will give their praise to your Father in heaven. — Matthew 5:14-16 TPT
- Decree, the Lord’s causing a spark of grace to be ignited and powered by His love in a way that touches the whole world. I will rise and shine and be a voice, an example and a reflection of the love and truth of God. Whole cities, regions, states and nations will be transformed by an encounter with the Living God. The plans of the enemy will be derailed, exposed and thwarted. The angels of the Lord will bring winds that stir up ministry and revival fires.
