Today’s Reading:
2 Corinthians 2
John 7
Luke 17
“The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive arguments but to prove to you the almighty power of God’s Holy Spirit. For God intended that your faith not be established on man’s wisdom but by trusting in his almighty power. However, there is a wisdom that we continually speak of when we are among the spiritually mature. It’s wisdom that didn’t originate in this present age, nor did it come from the rulers of this age who are in the process of being dethroned. Instead, we continually speak of this wonderful wisdom that comes from God, hidden before now in a mystery. It is his secret plan, destined before the ages, to bring us into glory. None of the rulers of this present world order understood it, for if they had, they never would have crucified the Lord of shining glory. This is why the Scriptures say: Things never discovered or heard of before, things beyond our ability to imagine — these are the many things God has in store for all his lovers.”
1 Corinthians 2:4-9 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
I Am the fountain of life. Abandon your cares. Abandon your worries. Abandon all thought or concern of what people think of you. Don’t fear being called foolish for My Name’s sake. Don’t fear being laughed at because you love Me. I Am life. I Am love. I Am freedom. I Am the life in your veins. Why should you be concerned with what men say or think? Come dance in My eternal fountain of life, of love, of peace, of joy, and be restored. Be refreshed. Be made whole for the first time or the 80th.
“For we did not receive the spirit of this world system but the Spirit of God, so that we might come to understand and experience all that grace has lavished upon us. And we articulate these realities with the words imparted to us by the Spirit and not with the words taught by human wisdom. We join together Spirit-revealed truths with Spirit-revealed words. Someone living on an entirely human level rejects the revelations of God’s Spirit, for they make no sense to him. He can’t understand the revelations of the Spirit because they are only discovered by the illumination of the Spirit. Those who live in the Spirit are able to carefully evaluate all things, and they are subject to the scrutiny of no one but God. For Who has ever intimately known the mind of the Lord Yahweh well enough to become his counselor? Christ has, and we possess Christ’s perceptions.”
1 Corinthians 2:12-16 TPT
I Am here for restoration, for delight, for love. I Am here to walk you into pure freedom. Come. Abandon your worries, and dance in My fountain of life, love and goodness. It will wash you. It will cleanse you. Come into My fountain of holiness. You will not leave the same. This is a time of refreshing, re-setting, re-adjusting your equipment and equipping. Come to the fountain for realignment. Come to the fountain for refreshing and restoration. Come to the fountain, and be swept up by My love to original purpose. Allow My love to wash over you and to restore the vision I have placed in your heart. You need a clear picture of the vision.
“Then on the most important day of the feast, the last day, Jesus stood and shouted out to the crowds—“All you thirsty ones, come to me! Come to me and drink! Believe in me so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like the Scripture says!” Jesus was prophesying about the Holy Spirit that believers were being prepared to receive. But the Holy Spirit had not yet been poured out upon them, because Jesus had not yet been unveiled in his full splendor.”
John 7:37-39 TPT
You can come to this fountain anytime. It lives inside of you. I Am the wellspring of living water, the way, the truth and the life. I Am the Source of every blessing. I Am your sustainer. Seek Me and you shall find Me. Knock and the door will be opened to you. You have not, because you ask not. Give, and it will be given to you a good measure, pressed down pouring over into your lap. This is the time of Kingdom, and it is time for you to start operating with the economic principles of Kingdom. What My Word says is true. Faith is the currency of the Kingdom.
“Then Jesus said to the healed man lying at his feet, “Arise and go. It was your faith that brought you salvation and made you whole.” Jesus was once asked by the Jewish religious leaders, “When will God’s kingdom come?” Jesus responded, “God’s kingdom does not come simply by obeying principles or waiting for signs. The kingdom is not discovered in one place or another, for God’s kingdom realm is already expanding within some of you.””
Luke 17:19-21 TPT
Get lower, and you will be exalted. Stay low, stay humble and watch the access you are granted. Trust My leading. Trust My guiding, and go through the open doors. This is a season of change. Your mindset must change to operate in strength and victory here. Come to the fountain. Return to the Source of all life. I will refresh you, restore you. I will re-form the man inside of you. I’m making you a changed people who can bear up under what’s ahead, who can walk boldly and confidently with great authority and power into the days ahead. You must be refreshed. Your mind must be renewed. You must be entwined as one with Me. Faith must be your currency. Trust goes a long way. Trusting Me will get you far.
How to Respond
- Delight yourself in the Lord. Shake off and refuse the fear of man. It is only a stumbling block to greatness.
- Pray, Holy Spirit wash me afresh. Restore me. Refresh me. Reaffirm and realign the vision You have placed in my heart. Help me to be one whose constant source of life, joy and vision is You. Thank You for the access I have to You. Help me to keep that access unobstructed by living a life that pleases and honors You. Shower me in Your holiness, so I can be made holy. Help me to adjust to this time of Kingdom. Help me to change my mindset and my understanding of economic principles to match Your Word. In Your Kingdom, nothing is a zero sum game. You are the God of abundance, of regeneration and always more than enough. Scarcity does not exist in You.
- Declare, great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. He is the Source of all light, all life, all joy. He is absolutely good, and true freedom is found in His love. Salvation belongs to Jesus and can only be accessed through Him. He changes the times and seasons, and He sets the rules of the game.
- Decree, I will delight myself in the Lord. I will take every thought captive and make it bow in obedience to Christ Jesus. I will walk humbly in the reverential fear of the Lord and be an example of holiness. I will take hold of the reigns of authority and power that the Lord has for me to take. I will not shirk my responsibility and allow another to take my place. I will walk by faith and not by sight. I will learn to operate in the Kingdom economy, and I will thrive in the Lord’s abundance.
