Today’s Reading:
Ephesians 2
Ephesians 3
“Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite riches of his grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ. For by grace you have been saved by faith. Nothing you did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the love gift from God that brought us to Christ! So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving. We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!”
Ephesians 2:7-10 TPT
The Spirit of the Living God says,
I’m training you to train your eyes on Me. I’m training you to follow in My chariot tracks. You will experience the profound pushing of divine grace. It will carry you faster than you can go on your own. It will push you farther and faster than you may even think you should go. You may hear yourself have the thoughts, “I’m not ready for this. This is too much, too fast, too soon.” Don’t speak those words. Don’t give utterance to those words. Instead say, “the Lord has named this, has appointed this a time of great acceleration. He has fully equipped me for these good works which He prepared for me in advance. He will not take me anywhere He has not equipped and prepared me to go.” Do not undercut the power of this season with your words. Do not undercut your own advancement because of your bewilderment. This is an Amos 9:13 time. This is a time where it’s not just the news that is happening so fast it will make your head swim. It is the advancement and progress and victories and opportunities that come into your lap and your path.
“So I kneel humbly in awe before the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, the perfect Father of every father and child in heaven and on the earth. And I pray that he would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power. Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life. Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!”
Ephesians 3:14-19 TPT
You know My simple test that I have gifted you with for discerning that which you are to say yes and that which you are to say no. This is not a time where you will have much time to make decisions. This is a time where the time is now. The opportunity is now. The chance is fleeting, not because it is not good, but because it is already off and running ahead. The simple test I have gifted you with is this — is My pleasure resting on it? Does it sit well in your spirit? You may call it your gut. It’s My Spirit inside you counseling you on which way to go, what to take on and what to leave aside, what to say yes to and what to reject. Not everything that shimmers is gold. Not everything that does not seem shine is worthless. Use the gift of My Spirit inside of you to make these quick calls.
This is a season where My divine grace will plow you forward at an uncontrollable pace. The pace will be beyond your control. The pace will perhaps feel excruciating at times. But because it is My grace driving you, you will be covered with and endowed with My grace, a full overflowing measure of grace to be hyper-productive in this season. This is a season of supernatural productivity. You will be astonished at what multiplies in your hands. You will be astonished at the grace you have been given. Ride the driving force of My grace. Don’t fight it. Don’t try to slow it down. You absolutely cannot. Participate in submission and willingness, eagerness and obedience with My driving grace, and you will see what it means when I make up for lost time, when I make up for the years, the abundance, the crops and the promises that the locusts seem to have eaten. This is a full measure and a half. This is a bumper crop and a half — in a very short period of time.
“Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you. Now we offer up to God all the glorious praise that rises from every church in every generation through Jesus Christ—and all that will yet be manifest through time and eternity. Amen!”
Ephesians 3:20-21 TPT
You will feel at times that the pace is for the sprinters but the race is for the marathoners. That’s what My grace is for. Lean into Me for strength. Lean into Me as the One who sustains you and provides your every need. We are moving into vey different times, and you will no longer feel as though you are simply walking from one day to the next, one place to the next. You will feel an uncontrollable driving force at your back pushing you forward at a surprising and perhaps sometimes alarming speed. Fear not. It’s My grace.
How to Respond
- Submit willingly and in full obedience to the instruction and pace of the Lord.
- Pray, Holy Spirit help me to clearly see and understand the times in which we are living. Help me to submit to the driving force of your grace and make up for time that I thought was lost. Help me to not grow weary and not faint, but instead fully rely on Your Spirit for guidance, for strength, for joy, for wisdom. Help me to practice Sabbath faithfully, so I have the moments of restoration necessary to maintain the pace You are setting. I know when I practice Your gift of Sabbath, You make the other 6 days more fruitful.
- Declare, the Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. He IS the King of Glory. He directs the times and seasons. He is calling for a powerful, divine acceleration, and we will experience it. His grace is here both to drive us forward at a pace we could have never imagined and to empower us to do the work — both natural and supernatural — that He has planned for us in advance. All glory, honor and praise belong to Him and His Name. He is beautiful, wonderful and gracious. He is my King and my God.
- Decree, I will live in submission and quick obedience to the instruction of the Lord. I will be in agreement with the driving force and powerful acceleration of His grace. I will be busy about my Father’s business, and I will strengthen myself in the Lord. I will recover all plus a half measure more. I will experience a super-abundant recovery of all the enemy has stolen in a very short period of time because of this great acceleration and the driving force of the Lord’s grace. His words over me are, “you shall recover all.”
I saw that this song was included on my post from February 10, 2023 and it is very applicable for today’s as well. Enjoy.
