Today’s Reading:
Colossians 1
Your faith and love rise within you as you access all the treasures of your inheritance stored up in the heavenly realm. For the revelation of the true gospel is as real today as the day you first heard of our glorious hope, now that you have believed in the truth of the gospel. This is the wonderful message that is being spread everywhere, powerfully changing hearts throughout the earth, just like it has changed you! Every believer of this good news bears the fruit of eternal life as they experience the reality of God’s grace.
Colossians 1:5-6 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God who rules and reigns forever say,
Truth is waiting in the wings. For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, truth is waiting in the wings. Because many have dug and researched and uncovered the truth through laborious pains and sleepless nights, those who are being shaken awake now will have ready access to the truth. Those who have dug and researched and learned and validated have become weighty, solid, immovable bearers and carriers of truth. They are solid. In the shaking, they know the truth. It lives inside of them. In times of great shaking what is more needed for those who are flimsy, for those who have been wishy washy, for those who don’t know true north, than to hold on to one who is anchored and established in truth?
Even though you were once distant from him, living in the shadows of your evil thoughts and actions, he reconnected you back to himself. He released his supernatural peace to you through the sacrifice of his own body as the sin-payment on your behalf so that you would dwell in his presence. And now there is nothing between you and Father God, for he sees you as holy, flawless, and restored, if indeed you continue to advance in faith, assured of a firm foundation to grow upon. Never be shaken from the hope of the gospel you have believed in. And this is the glorious news I preach all over the world.
Colossians 1:21-23 TPT
As the flimsy ones flail around in the shaking, they will look and see many, many who are solid — many who they can hold onto get their bearings and from whom they can receive a direct impartation of truth. As they do, they will become like a little piling. They will be directly established on truth themselves and even a safe place for those who are in need of truth, who are in need of something solid to which to cling. These once flimsy will now no longer be flimsy. They will be a safe place for other ones who are being shaken to grasp onto and take hold. And they will be able to deliver a direct impartation of truth and establish others. The shaking will be a tremendous time of many, many, many who were once untethered, flimsy, wishy washy and unconcerned about spiritual realities or the truth of the world around them. It will be a tremendous time of those waking up, clinging to truth, receiving an impartation of truth and becoming capable and solid vessels to do the same.
There is a divine mystery—a secret surprise that has been concealed from the world for generations, but now it’s being revealed, unfolded and manifested for every holy believer to experience. Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for his people, and God wants everyone to know it! Christ is our message! We preach to awaken hearts and bring every person into the full understanding of truth. It has become my inspiration and passion in ministry to labor with a tireless intensity, with his power flowing through me, to present to every believer the revelation of being his perfect one in Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:26-29 TPT
This is the time of a great multiplicative impartation of truth and establishment in truth. These newcomers, these once flimsy shaken ones who turn to truth and become established in truth will span farther than eyes can see in every direction. My people and those they rescue will be solid, immovable, rugged pillars of truth who impart truth and see to it that others are established in truth. Be salt. Be light, and be firmly anchored and established in truth.
How to Respond
- Don’t despise those who have not come to the truth yet. Be humble and live with a servant’s heart and an open door for them, so they will come to you in the shaking. Then as the Lord guides, impart truth to them, and they will be established in truth and do the same for others.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for establishing me deeply and firmly in truth. Help me to be one whose heart and home is open and welcome to all who may find themselves being jostled mercilessly in the shaking. Help me to understand what You are saying and doing as You are drawing many to he truth. Help me to speak the truth to those who come to me in kindness and love with a servant’s heart.
- Declare, even though I was once distant from Him, living in the shadows of my evil thoughts and actions, He reconnected me back to Himself. He released His supernatural peace to me through the sacrifice of His own body as the sin-payment on my behalf so that I would dwell in His presence. And now there is nothing between me and Father God, for He sees me as holy, flawless, and restored, if indeed I continue to advance in faith, assured of a firm foundation to grow upon. I will never be shaken from the hope of the gospel I have believed in. – Colossians 1:21-23a
- Decree, I am firmly established in truth. Because King Jesus is my solid rock and firm foundation, I will not be moved in the shaking — no matter how intense. I will be a safe place for those who are shaken to hold onto. I will listen to the voice of the Lord, and as He guides me, I will faithfully impart truth to each one who comes to me for stability in the shaking. As I impart truth, the Lord will establish each one on the firm foundation of Jesus, and they will become solid and immovable ones alongside me. We will witness an astounding multiplication of solid believers firmly and immovably established in the truth of Christ Jesus and His Kingdom.
