Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 54
54 1-5 “Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby.
Isaiah 54:1-5
Fill the air with song, you who’ve never experienced childbirth!
You’re ending up with far more children
than all those childbearing women.” God says so!
“Clear lots of ground for your tents!
Make your tents large. Spread out! Think big!
Use plenty of rope,
drive the tent pegs deep.
You’re going to need lots of elbow room
for your growing family.
You’re going to take over whole nations;
you’re going to resettle abandoned cities.
Don’t be afraid—you’re not going to be embarrassed.
Don’t hold back—you’re not going to come up short.
You’ll forget all about the humiliations of your youth,
and the indignities of being a widow will fade from memory.
For your Maker is your bridegroom,
his name, God-of-the-Angel-Armies!
Your Redeemer is The Holy of Israel,
known as God of the whole earth.
The Spirit of the Lord says,
Jesus is the supreme authority. In all things. In the little things and the extremely large things. He in THE all in all. Build yourself up in your most holy faith. Walk with Me, and experience true life. You can walk in great confidence, in elegance as royalty, and you will skip like a calf let loose from the stall. These are days of great awakening. These are days of great triumph. These are days of great occupation, as those who have followed Me, who have stayed tuned in to My voice and followed My lead will occupy vast swaths of territory.
For even if the mountains walk away
Isaiah 54:10-12
and the hills fall to pieces,
My love won’t walk away from you,
my covenant commitment of peace won’t fall apart.”
The God who has compassion on you says so.
“Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied:
I’m about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise,
Lay your foundations with sapphires,
construct your towers with rubies,
Your gates with jewels,
and all your walls with precious stones.
My beloved ones will occupy great, tremendous territories, and they will build beautiful structures and businesses and industries upon it. They will fill it with beauty, with purity, with honor and with strength. They will build on truth in truth. They will build atop the ancient foundation of truth, and they will walk and live and operate in freedom, power and authority that they never knew before. These will be My exalted ones. They will be exalted above the many to extend their arms and serve the many. They are exalted in honor and in truth, because of their hearts of humility, their obedience to My voice and their love for My Word. And they will serve the many. They will trumpet truth from the heights. They will sing songs of worship and praise to King Jesus, who is and forever will be Lord of All. He has conquered every kingdom, and He has triumphed over every foe. Whom or what shall you fear?
All your children will have God for their teacher—
Isaiah 54:13-14
what a mentor for your children!
You’ll be built solid, grounded in righteousness,
far from any trouble—nothing to fear!
far from terror—it won’t even come close!
Walk in victory, not in defeat. Victory is your portion and your inheritance. Possess it. Possess the victory, and build atop truth. These are glorious days of the pioneers who have trod through the wilderness with Me and little else. This is the time of them staking their claim. This is the time of them setting out the markers and calling the land theirs. This is the time where they occupy, and in the occupation they will build great empires to My Name and to My Glory which fit perfectly within My Kingdom and operate under My governance. These are Kingdom Glory days. These are great occupation and wild transformation days. These are the days of the pioneers becoming the establishers and builders of great nations.
How to Respond
- Prioritize hearing the Lord’s voice and being obedient to Him in the small things and the big things.
- Pray, Jesus, You are my King and Master. Yours is the Name above every name. You are the Lord of All. You shattered every kingdom and king that did not bow to You. You have defeated them all. You have defeated sin, death and the grave. You are the conquering, reigning King. Thank You Lord that I get to live in the reality of that victory and share in it. Help me to walk so closely with You that I hear Your voice clearly and don’t doubt Your realness or Your ways. Help me to step out in obedience as You direct me to stake my claim and occupy the place that You have called me to occupy. I desire to build and serve with You my King. You are glorious God. There is none like You.
- Declare, the Lord is moving us from pioneering to occupying, establishing and building.
- Decree, the Lord Jesus Christ has defeated sin, death and the grave. Whom or what shall I fear? He has exalted me, because of my love for Him. I will walk in holy confidence and with great joy alongside my Savior, King Jesus. I will occupy, establish and build with Him and through Him — as directed and inspired by Him. The place He is calling me to build will serve many and honor Him above all.
