Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 54
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;
[a]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 [b]descendants will possess nations
And will resettle the desolate cities.
The Spirit of the Lord says,
My grace is sufficient for your life. My grace is sufficient for your heart, your desires, your needs. My grace covers you, surrounds you and enables you. My grace connects to My favor and draws blessing in, draws connections in, draws hope realized in. This isn’t a season of waiting. This is a season of realizing. This is a season of actual. This is a time where faith becomes reality.
4 “Fear not, for you will not be put to shame;
Isaiah 54:4-6
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.
5 “For your husband is your Maker,
Whose name is the Lord of hosts;
And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the God of all the earth.
6 “For the Lord has called you,
Like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
This is a time where My grace is so big. This is a season of My big, all encompassing grace. This is a season of a strong flow of favor. The powerful airstream of My favor will connect you to answers, to resources, to people and to dreams realized. My grace covers and surrounds you, and My favor is flowing in a strong current toward you. Be in receiving mode. Be in expecting mode. Be in a high faith, anything is possible with God mode. This is the season of the strong current of My favor. This is the season of My great enabling, empowering and covering grace. I Am the all-sufficient God, and you will see that I Am more than enough, that My gifts are perfect and perfectly timed, that I have positioned you for great exploits, for success and for victory. I have positioned you to advance and occupy.
11 “O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted,
Isaiah 54:11-17
Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
And your foundations I will lay in [g]sapphires.
12 “Moreover, I will make your battlements of [h]rubies,
And your gates of [i]crystal,
And your entire [j]wall of precious stones.
13 “All your sons will be [k]taught of the Lord;
And the well-being of your sons will be great.
14 “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.
15 “If anyone fiercely assails you it will not be from Me.
Whoever assails you will fall because of you.
16 “Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows the fire of coals
And brings out a weapon for its work;
And I have created the destroyer to ruin.
17 “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper;
And every tongue that [l]accuses you in judgment you will condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord.
This season of My great grace and My strong flow of favor is for the overcoming. It’s for the overtaking, and it is equipping you to occupy. This is a take back season. This is a receive back season. This is a wait no more season. This is a stand and receive season. This is a season marked by My grace, My covering grace and My powerful stream of favor. Watch as it marks your life. Watch as it flows into your life. Watch as My gifts, My answers, My reward change your life.
How to Respond

- Pray, Lord, thank You for being the all-sufficient God. Thank You for seeing me and hearing my prayers, for knowing the deep deep desires of my heart. And thank You for moving us into a time of breakthrough and receiving. Help me to keep my hopes up and my faith high, so that I am well-positioned to identify and receive all that Your favor brings my way.
- Declare, this is a season of breakthrough, change, great grace, favor and fulfillment. This is not a waiting season.
- Decree, the time of waiting is through. This is a time of great grace, expectation and favor. I will see the Lord move with great favor on my life, and I will receive all that He has stored up for me, all that He has taken back for me, and I will receive an exponential increase because of the waiting.
