Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 54
2 Corinthians 6
Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child; Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed; For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous Than the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord. “Enlarge the place of your tent; Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not; Lengthen your cords And strengthen your pegs. For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left. And your descendants will possess nations And will resettle the desolate cities. “Fear not, for you will not be put to shame; And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced; But you will forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.”
Isaiah 54:1-4 NASB1995
I heard the Spirit of the Living and Ancient God who rules and reigns forever say,
It’s time to plant stakes in the ground. It’s time to physically and spiritually mark your definitive boundaries. Days are coming of great increase, and it will be important and sacred for you to know how much increase came to you. Your boundaries will be made and defined by Heaven. And increase is your portion. The portion and size of the inside of your tent will seem not only expansive but limitless. We are walking into days where boundaries of possibility seem to vanish. This is why it is so important, so valuable to mark out your existing boundaries — in the natural and in the spirit. Because great, vast, seemingly immeasurable increase is coming. It is inbound.
“O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted, Behold, I will set your stones in antimony, And your foundations I will lay in sapphires. Moreover, I will make your battlements of rubies, And your gates of crystal, And your entire wall of precious stones. All your sons will be taught of the Lord; And the well-being of your sons will be great. In righteousness you will be established; You will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; And from terror, for it will not come near you.”
Isaiah 54:11-14 NASB1995
The Gates of Heaven have been opened wide, and I Am releasing great scrolls to mark out the new boundaries of your life. These are the boundaries in which you live and breathe and have your being. These are boundaries so much greater, so much more expansive, that provide such great, wide-open space, greater than you could have ever imagined. My purposes for you, My destiny scrolls for you will mark out the new seemingly unlimited boundaries of your life, and as you live inside these spacious, life-giving, protective, grace-defined boundaries, you will live lighter, brighter with greater purpose than you have ever known. You will experience the greatest feeling of living at home in your own skin, of knowing you who you are and whose you are; and you will operate with exceptional authority and power such as you have never experienced before.
Dear, dear Corinthians, I can’t tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious life. We didn’t fence you in. The smallness you feel comes from within you. Your lives aren’t small, but you’re living them in a small way. I’m speaking as plainly as I can and with great affection. Open up your lives. Live openly and expansively!
2 Corinthians 6:11-13 MSG
I Am moving you far beyond the hedge rows of your current boundaries — in the physical and in the spirit. I’m taking you into and giving you territory you could have never imagined. These are beyond the hedge row days. These are the days where the great, wide-open spacious tent I create for you will be rolled straight out of Heaven. It is constructed with the destiny scrolls I have for your life. They are the beautiful, seemingly limitless boundaries I have provided and woven together just for you. You will be astonished as your life is very clearly marked out by destiny. And you will say, “I’ve never in my life been more alive.” This newly released destiny scroll defined tent will establish your personal big tent revival.
How to Respond
- Open your heart to the Lord for change and His release of destiny over your life.
- Ask Him to show you what prophetic acts you should take to come into agreement with this word — including literally staking out your existing physical and spiritual territory.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for moving us into days of great increase in the physical and in the spiritual. Help me to have eyes and ears that are attuned to You. I want to be exactly where You want me to be, doing exactly what You have called me to be doing. I don’t want to miss a thing.
- Declare, the Lord is enlarging the place of my tent and stretching out the curtains of my dwellings. He is lengthening the cords and strengthening the pegs of my tent.
- Decree, the Lord is releasing His tailor-made scrolls of destiny over my life. They will bring expansion and wide-open spacious living that I could never have dreamed of. They will bring increase in the physical and in the spiritual, and my life will forever be marked by destiny. I will operate in a great increase of authority and power through Christ Jesus.
