Today’s Reading:
1 Peter 1
Psalm 139
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter 1:3-5
The Spirit of the Lord says,
I Am pouring out the oil of holiness like a great accelerant, catching souls on fire. The oil of holiness is highly flammable. It catches souls on fire. It causes the once lukewarm to be red hot passionate lovers of Mine. I Am pouring out the oil of holiness, and it will set souls on fire. Many souls across the world will catch fire for Me. Many are in pursuit of Me already. Many have Me in their sights and and have a place for Me in their heart and worldview. Some have been running from Me for years, as if they can flee My Presence. We know they cannot. When they sit down, when they come in and when they go out, I Am there, with them.
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Psalm 139:7-10
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
My oil of holiness will drop on them, and they will burn brighter and hotter than even others because of the dryness that they have walked in. Though it may not seem like it, dry ones, even the driest ones are primed and the best tinder to become roiling hot souls on fire, passionate lovers, gobsmacked and enamored of Me. This is a time of a great opening. I Am cracking the doors of hearts. I Am lifting the corner of the veil that has kept people blinded to the reality and the undeniability of Me, and I Am dousing the whole earth with the oil of holiness, so that holiness and passion, true enlightenment and truth will spread like an uncontainable wildfire among the souls of men.
14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior;16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:14-16
As the oil of My holiness touches the people, it causes a great turning. It causes a great understanding of and awareness of the sin and the separation that sin has wrought in the person. The oil of holiness brings an instantaneous awareness of Me, of Who I Am and of who I created you to be. The oil of holiness brings truth and reality into focus. It presents a beautiful very difficult to refuse invitation — to be holy as I Am holy. This oil of holiness paints a stark picture. It both shows the great divide caused by sin and offers a beautiful invitation to accept the One who closes the gap between us. I Am dousing the world with My oil of holiness, and it is setting hearts and souls, lives and families, communities; and it will even set nations on fire, red hot fire for Me. It will change everything. Accept the invitation.
How to Respond
- Position your heart and life as open and willing vessels before the Lord, as an offering before Him.
- Pray, Lord, here I am. Pour out Your oil of holiness on my life and the lives of my families members, friends and neighbors. Cause that oil to ignite within me and make me a soul on fire for You.
- Declare, the Lord is pouring out the oil of holiness generously onto the people of the world. He is causing many to see and understand Him in a way that they were previously unwilling or unable to see Him.
- Decree, the Lord is sparking a mighty wave of repentance, salvation, revival and harvest. He is igniting hearts and souls on fire for Him. I and my household will be living souls on fire for Jesus.
