Today’s Readings:
Isaiah 58
Psalm 112
Psalm 115
11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord;
Psalm 115:11-13
He is their help and their shield.
12 The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the Lord,
The small together with the great.
The Lord says,
My team is advancing. My team is highly skilled, agile, and they are fierce competitors. It’s time for all of My players to get on the field. It’s time for those who are sitting on the bleachers, cheering My team on to join the ranks. It’s time to suit up, roll up your sleeves and get on the playing field. This battle for the soul of America is not going to be won by spectators. It is going to be won by a fully activated, full equipped, fully unified team who can play in synchronicity, who hear My voice and move accordingly. The battle is won by the warriors, not the watchers.
6 “Is this not the fast which I choose,
Isaiah 58:6-8
To loosen the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the bands of the yoke,
And to let the oppressed go free
And break every yoke?
7 “Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry
And bring the homeless poor into the house;
When you see the naked, to cover him;
And not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 “Then your light will break out like the dawn,
And your recovery will speedily spring forth;
And your righteousness will go before you;
The glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
Financial support is great, but what can you do? I’m looking for ones who take kinetic action in the battle for the future. This is a time to be active. This is a time to have an offensive prayer strategy that partners with an offensive worship strategy as a mighty battering ram to break down the gates of hell that have been erected in our land. This is a time for the children to sing, to praise to worship. They are a part of the battle strategy. It is time for parents to roar, and say no more. It is time to stand like a fortress wall and not be moved on the topics that are impacting your family and society. It’s time to roar a big NO MORE! It’s time to roar a deafening NOT ON MY WATCH! It’s time to advance on all fronts of this thousand front war.
112 Praise the Lord!
Psalm 112:1-4
How blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who greatly delights in His commandments.
2 His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4 Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
The tide has shifted and the the battle has turned in our favor. It’s time for all hands on deck. Every man, woman and child must go to their battle station to war with what I have put in your hands. War with worship. War with civic action. War with truth. War with acts of love and kindness. War with a cold cup of water for ones in need. War with the words of promise in scripture and those I have spoken over your life. This is war, and we are advancing. Let every soldier take his or her place on the field, and let’s win this thing.
10 And if you give yourself to the hungry
Isaiah 58:10-12
And satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
Then your light will rise in darkness
And your gloom will become like midday.
11 “And the Lord will continually guide you,
And satisfy your desire in scorched places,
And give strength to your bones;
And you will be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.
12 “Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins;
You will raise up the age-old foundations;
And you will be called the repairer of the breach,
The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.
Don’t think that your part is too small or that it’s not making a difference. You do what I have called you to do, and work with what I have put in your hands; and you will impact the places where only you have access. This collective action, this unified advancement will push us into victory. Join your voices. Speak the truth. Shout with a voice of triumph. Raise your banner high. Do not be intimated, and do not back up one inch. We are only advancing now. The days of one step forward, two steps back are over. The way has been cleared for My people and My armies to advance. We are pushing through to victory together, as we each do our part, as you each listen and obey My voice.
5 It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
Psalm 112:5-8
He will maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will never be shaken;
The righteous will be remembered forever.
7 He will not fear evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is upheld, he will not fear,
Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries.
Don’t stop now. Don’t sit now. Don’t open your mouth with a complaint and undermine our efforts. This is holy ground. Remember your words have creative power. You are to speak life and truth only. Anything that diminishes our cause through negative speak, through discouraging the troops, through disunity is forbidden here. Be disciplined in your mind and with your mouth as the warrior I have called you to be. Speak only for advancement, only for love, life, truth and righteousness. Move forward to our great victory. Oh what a victory it will be!
How to Respond
- If you are already clear on the assignment the Lord has given you in this time, be faithful and obedient.
- If you are unsure of what part the Lord has called you to play in this battle for righteousness and truth, sit with Him. Ask Him to show you what He wants you to do. You may be doing it and not realizing the impact it has, or you may need to get moving in a new direction.
- Pray, Lord, thank You for positioning us and equipping us for victory. Thank You for clearing the way to victory and for removing every obstacle that has held back your people. Thank You that triumph and celebration are in sight.
- Declare, I am on the winning team of the Lord. We are on the offensive now, and we are no longer playing defense. We are advancing and battering down the gates of hell that have raised themselves up in our communities, nation and world. We will no longer tolerate evil. We will not sit quietly as demonic agendas call evil, good and good, evil.
- Decree, the forces of hell stand no chance against the armies of the Living God. We are operating under His strategic direction in unity, and we will prevail. The forever loser will be forced out of this place. And light, justice, truth and righteous rule will re-take their rightful places of honor in society.
