Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 60
Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you And His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.
Isaiah 60:1-3 NASB1995
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
I’m opening up new channels and supply lines. You are a supply line for change — the weaponization of change. I Am supplying to you and through you everything you need to be a destructive force of change. I Am supplying dynamite-like power, explosive power to you and through you that will destroy the works of the enemy, that will destroy the curses and incantations of the enemy, that will destroy the plots of the enemy and that will destroy the chains that the enemy is using to hold many captive.
Your gates will be open continually; They will not be closed day or night, So that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, With their kings led in procession.
Isaiah 60:11 NASB1995
City gates represented places where justice was administered, commerce took place, disputes were settled and sometimes religious sacrifices were made. They served as venues for the reading of proclamations and laws, and they stood as defensive fortifications for the people who lived inside of them.
https://divinenarratives.org/gates-in-the-bible-roles-and-symbolism/I sense that the Lord is giving us a hint here that Holy Spirit’s powerful destruction of the works of the enemy in this time will be the force behind the coming wealth transfer so many have prophesied. This scripture in the context of what I heard from the Lord this morning also brings imagery of us as Holy Spirit fueled sources of justice, proclaimers of the Word of God and defensive fortifications for any who may want to trespass against the people and the territory the Lord has called us to protect.
This Holy Spirit-fueled dynamic, dynamite power will break the shackles that have covered peoples eyes. They will break the chains that have held them bound from working, from walking from speaking. The explosive Holy Spirit-fueled power is setting the captives free through you — through your spoken word, through your obedience to go and put your feet on the soil of specific locations to which I call you to do warfare. This is a time where swift obedience and prophetic acts will break many chains. You will see captives set free in an instant. You will see freedom come and transformation descend in an instant.
Allow me to use you. Allow Me to supply My explosive power to you and through you in a way you have never seen or experienced before. You will say, “we are cut off from powerlessness, because the power of the Lord has been abundantly supplied to me and through me. I Am a weaponized change agent of the Lord, and explosions of His justice and change will mark the Earth. Captives are being set free. The blind are seeing. The deaf are hearing the truth, and those made to be mute are singing praises to the Lord their God who set them free.”
Whereas you have been forsaken and hated With no one passing through, I will make you an everlasting pride, A joy from generation to generation.
Isaiah 60:15 NASB1995
What was bound by the enemy will be loosed by Holy Spirit flowing through my weaponized agents of change. My supply line of power does not run dry as long as you keep yourself pure and open. Keep the channel of your heart, mind and soul clear for My Spirit to flow through it. That is the requirement. And watch as electric, explosive power flows through your words, through your hands and even your presence just by setting your feet on the soil of a place. You will witness things happen that you have never seen or dreamed. This is the New Pentecost. These are the days of explosive miraculous power. Through you as an open, clear, available channel, I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh. I will move directly Myself in many lives, but I will also use those who have made themselves available channels, open and willing to be weaponized agents of change for the Lord their God. This is a season of difference and different. You haven’t been here before.
How to Respond
- Submit yourself to the powerful deep cleansing of Holy Spirit. Sit with Him, and ask Him to highlight areas of offense, bitterness and sin that need to be cut off and dealt with in a decisive and final manner.
- Pray, Holy Spirit come. You have full access to me. If there is any unclean way within me, let me know. I don’t want any bitterness, offense, sin, doubt or fear to stand in the way of my availability or participation in this new season of explosive power that destroys the works of the enemy and sets many captives free.
- Declare, open to me the gates of righteousness; I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous will enter through it. – Psalm 118:19-20
- Decree, I will cut off all offense, sin, bitterness, doubt and fear from my life. I will be a pure vessel, set apart for use by the Lord. I will be quick to be obedient and follow through with prayer, with declarations, with prophecy and prophetic acts to release the explosive power of Holy Spirit into the lives of those people and places He calls me.
