Today’s Reading:
Psalm 8
Psalm 27
Yahweh is my revelation-light and the source of my salvation. I fear no one! I’ll never turn back and run, for you, Yahweh, surround and protect me. When evil ones come to destroy me, they will be the ones who turn back. My heart will not fear even if an army rises to attack. I will not be shaken, even if war is imminent.
Psalms 27:1-3 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Trust My light to guide you. Trust My light to lead you. Stay in this place of deep, thick communion with Me. Don’t wander off into petty things and trivialities. Keep your heart in sync with Me. Stay in this place of communion. It is the place of deep, abiding, unshakeable peace. It is the place of perfect grounding where the screeching of the evil that is being exposed does still reach your ears, but it does not cause your heart to shudder, shrink back in fear or faint.
Here’s the one thing I crave from Yahweh, the one thing I seek above all else: I want to live with him every moment in his house, beholding the marvelous beauty of Yahweh, filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace. I want to contemplate in his temple. In the day of trouble, he will treasure me in his shelter, under the cover of his tent. He will lift me high upon a rock, out of reach from all my enemies who surround me. Triumphant now, I’ll bring him my offerings of praise, singing and shouting with ecstatic joy! Yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh! Hear my cry. Show me mercy, and send the help I need! I heard your voice in my heart say, “Come, seek my face;” my inner being responded, “Yahweh, I’m seeking your face with all my heart.”
Psalms 27:4-8 TPT
I have a place of deep, thick abiding right here for you. It’s provided for you, and a place has been reserved for you. Your job is to come to this place and remain in it. This place is a place of governing occupation. As you occupy this place of thick, weighty communion with Me, as you abide in My unshakeable peace, you will look out upon the Earth, and you will govern with your words. You will govern with the scriptures. You will govern with the words I whisper in your heart, with the words I drop into your spirit, with the words I speak to you in dreams and even in conversations with others. I Am teaching you to govern. I Am teaching you to occupy this up-higher place where you can command the future. Stay close to Me. Remain under My tutelage. I Am restoring you to your original intended occupation — to take dominion and subdue the earth. I Am teaching you and establishing you in the purposes of My original intent for your life’s occupation. It’s a beautiful thing. Some moments you will look like a war commander. Others you will look like an orchestra leader.
Why would you bother with puny, mortal man or care about human beings? Yet what honor you have given to men, created only a little lower than Elohim, crowned with glory and magnificence. You have delegated to them rulership over all you have made, with everything under their authority, placing earth itself under the feet of your image-bearers. All the created order and every living thing of the earth, sky, and sea— the wildest beasts and all that move in the paths of the sea — everything is in submission to Adam’s sons.
Psalms 8:4-8 TPT
I Am teaching you to rule and reign with Me. This is a place for the very humble. I don’t have a place for the proud up here. This is a place where only those who go low can come. You must get very low to come up to these great heights. You must get extremely low and stay low — in reverence, in awe, in obedience and in wonder. In thanksgiving. Your eyes will see the glory of the Lord, and the only right response is to get low. Face down on the ground is the posture required for entry to this extremely high place of governing with Me. Come and join me in your birthright. Join Me in establishing My Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven. Join Me in directing strongholds of wickedness to crumble and fall to the ground in the sight of all who are onlookers. Global transformation is here. Your role in establishing it has a prerequisite — you must be a transformed one.
How to Respond
- Choose the Lord above all else.
- Pray, Holy Spirit I’m blown away by the opportunity to learn how to govern — how to rule and reign with You. Help me to do all that is required to be transformed in myself — to get and remain facedown before You — so I can gain entry to this extremely high place reserved for those whose lives are fully submitted to You. I want to learn everything You want to teach me. I want to operate in my birthright’s occupation of taking dominion and subduing the Earth.
- Declare, There’s a private place reserved for the lovers of God where they sit near him and receive the revelation-secrets of His promises. (Psalm 25:14)
- Decree, I will humble myself before the Lord. I will forsake everything in my life that does not bring Him pleasure. I will choose to get low and be fully transformed, fully re-formed by Him, so that I can gain entry to this place He has reserved for me, where He has promised to teach me to rule and reign and command the future with Him.
