Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 54
10 “For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake,
Isaiah 54:10
But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you,
And My covenant of peace will not be shaken,”
Says the Lord who has compassion on you.
The Spirit of the Lord says,
In those who have given Me their hearts, I have placed a tether, so they can’t wander far, so they can’t fall and be alone, so that they are reminded of their first and greatest love. I Am tugging on many tethers that have been ignored. I Am tugging on many tethers thought to have been severed. I am tugging on many tethers that have been stretched out to exceedingly great lengths. Yes, I Am tugging on these heart tethers, and I Am reminding those who have forgotten, ignored or tried to make other new decisions against their heart, against My heart, against our love that they made their vow in love, and in love I have kept it. In love, I Am tugging on them to return to Me, to return to the one who holds their heart, the one whose heart is their home.
6 “For the Lord has called you,
Isaiah 45;6
Like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
The tugging has begun, and no distance is too far for it to span. I Am drawing them in. My tug pulls on the tender place of the heart, and they recall their vows made to Me in love, in need, in desperation and in passion. They recall My sweeping and immediate response. They recall the rush of relief and the instant recognition of belonging, of adoption, of family, of home. I Am tugging on those wandering hearts. I Am tugging on those tethered ones who have marched as far as they possibly can in pursuit of other. I Am tugging on these hearts, and I Am wooing them back to their First Love, to their Savior, Redeemer, their Father and Friend. I Am wooing them back to original intent. I Am wooing them back to true purpose. I Am drawing them back to the shelter of My wings. I Am drawing them back to dwell under the canopy of My grace. I Am drawing them back home.
Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child;
Isaiah 54:1-3
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.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent;
Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not;
Lengthen your cords
And strengthen your pegs.
3 “For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left.
And your descendants will possess nations
And will resettle the desolate cities.
I Am reestablishing My family and MANY families. These tethered ones, these wanderers and attempted deserters of My love will be the first fruits of the Harvest. Revival starts at home. I’m tugging on their wayward hearts, and I Am drawing them back home.
How to Respond
- Settle in your heart that the Lord will do what He said He will do for your family and the wanderers, deserters and rebels of the faith in your family.
- Pray, Holy Spirit, thank You for never leaving nor forsaking us. Thank You for being faithful when we are faithless. Thank You for creating and placing such a high value on families. Thank You for your promise and great desire to restore mine. Bring the wanderers, the deserters and the rebels home Lord. Let Your reclamation mission start with my family.
- Declare, The Lord is tugging on the hearts of those who once proclaimed faith in Him, who once gave their life and heart to Him, and He is drawing them back to Himself. He has never given up on them and He won’t start now. He is the Creator and Inventor of family, and He is moving in power and in love to restore MANY, MANY broken and wounded families.
- Decree, the wanderers, deserters and rebels are coming home. My family will be restored. As for me and my house, we will ALL serve the Lord in one accord. The wanderers, deserters and rebels will be the early Harvest in the Revival of the Ages. The Lord is waking them up and drawing them home to His heart.
