Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 10
Isaiah 61
Psalm 73
In that day the Lord will remove the heavy burden from your shoulders and break off the yoke of bondage from your necks because of the heavy anointing upon you!
Isaiah 10:27 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God of all abundance and from whom all blessings flow say,
Favor has been appointed and directed for you. An abundance of favor is being poured into your life. The abundance, the fatness of My favor and goodness will cover you, and it will break the yoke and every chain. No agent or tool of bondage will be able to hold you back from what I have for you, because of My favor, because of the abundance and overwhelming fatness of My goodness being poured out on you and into your lap and life.
The path of the righteous is smooth and level; God, the Just One, you make a clear path for them.
Isaiah 26:7 TPT
This is the year of the Lord’s favor. This is the time of extraordinary — never seen or experienced before — stunning favor. It will be that nothing will be able to hold you back. No one will be able to drag you down or backwards. Your advancement will be forward motion, steady and accelerated forward motion on an incline that takes you to new heights.
If I had given in to my pain and spoken of what I was really feeling, it would have sounded like unfaithfulness to the next generation. When I tried to understand it all, I just couldn’t. It was too puzzling—too much of a riddle to me. But then one day I was brought into the sanctuaries of God, and in the light of glory, my distorted perspective vanished. Then I understood that the destiny of the wicked was near! They’re the ones who are on the slippery path, and God will suddenly let them slide off into destruction to be consumed with terrors forever! It will be an instant end to all their life of ease; a blink of the eye and they’re swept away by sudden calamity! They’re all nothing more than momentary monarchs— soon to disappear like a dream when one awakes. When the rooster crows, Lord God, you’ll despise their life of fantasies.
Psalms 73:15-20 TPT
Your favor will become the very thing that causes the wicked and the enemies chasing you to slip and fall. Your favor will be a protective covering that causes those against you to stumble and fall far behind, even as you advance. Even as I take you higher and higher up the mountain, your path will be level. Your path will be one of sure footing. Advance and laugh as you go. The Lord is with you. My Spirit, the Spirit of the Living, One True God is with you. I have made a way for you that none can hinder or block — and on which they cannot even overtake you. This is the path and the pace I have set out for you. It’s protected, and My favor covers you in an overwhelming way that you have never seen or experienced or felt before. This is a time of difference. The difference is Me. The difference is My glory, My nearness, the clarity of My voice, My favor and My dome of great protection.
The mighty Spirit of Lord Yahweh is wrapped around me because Yahweh has anointed me, as a messenger to preach good news to the poor. He sent me to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted, to tell captives, “You are free,” and to tell prisoners, “Be free from your darkness.” I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness. Because of this, they will be known as Mighty Oaks of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory. They will restore ruins from long ago and rebuild what was long devastated. They will renew ruined cities and desolations of past generations.
Isaiah 61:1-4 TPT
This is the year of My favor. Advance in full joy. Advance with a leap, a shout and with laughter. Your days of gaining ground with no cause for stepping to the side or reversing course is here. This is the year of My favor, of the great fatness, of abundance that makes you impossible for the enemy to grab hold of, slow or stop. These are the days of exceedingly great favor and exceedingly, abundantly more than you could ask, think or imagine. This is that time. Those days are now. My favor covers and surrounds you. The word is go — in laughter, strength, bold determination and full joy.
How to Respond
- Live in expectation and in the reality of the abundance of the Lord’s favor covering you in an overwhelming way.
- Pray, Lord, thank You for the way You care for me. Thank You for Your super-abundant favor and for the path You have set out in front of me to take me forward and upward. Help me to move at the pace You set and hold nothing back. Thank You that I have nothing to fear, because You are with me, Your great overwhelming favor covers me, and no enemy will be able to grab hold of me or slow me down in any way.
- Declare, Because you received a double dose of shame and dishonor, you will inherit a double portion of endless joy and everlasting bliss! For I, Yahweh, love fairness and justice, and I hate stealing and sin. I will rightly repay them because of my faithfulness and enter into an everlasting covenant with them. Their seed will be famous among the nations, and their descendants the center of attention of the people. All who see them will recognize that they are the seed that Yahweh has blessed with favor! — Isaiah 61:7-9 TPT
- Decree, This is the year of the Lord’s super-abundant favor in my life. This is a time of difference, where His favor covers me in such an overwhelming way that I can move freely, boldly and quickly — completely unhindered by opposing forces. The path He has set before me is level and will take me forward and upward, for His Name’s sake. As I advance in humility, bold confidence and great joy I will bring glory to His Name.
