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;
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 descendants will possess nations
And will resettle the desolate cities.
The Lord says,
Make room for Holy Spirit. Make room for My grace. Make room for My glory. Make room for praise. Make room in your home, your heart and your schedule. Carve out space for Me, and give Me unfettered access to all the places of your life, family, heart and home. I Am ready to flood every aspect of your life, but I won’t invade. Make room for Me, and invite Me into every place.
My love isn’t changing, but I will allow you to feel it with greater intensity. I Am not changing, but I will give you eyes to see My beauty, perfection, grace and glory as you have never been able to before. My love isn’t changing, but it is primed to flood every aspect of your life and change you forever. My love isn’t changing, but it is prepared to enter in and interrupt your status quo, to release change, adventure, opportunity and new. My love isn’t changing, but I Am positioned to breathe new life into your lungs, hope into your heart and strength into your weary soul. I Am not changing, but your ability to perceive, receive and even engage with Me is changing.
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.
I Am changing you. Submit to Me. Submit yourself to My hands, My ways, My will, My whisper, and watch as the landscape changes before your very eyes. Watch as everything you know comes to vibrant technicolor life or is turned on its head completely. I Am moving your ability to see and understand from theory to practice. I Am giving you a taste of Heaven on Earth, My Kingdom IS come, and it is coming in greater measure. Ask Me, and I will open your eyes. Ask Me, and I will move your heart so that it can feel and perceive. I’m not changing. My love isn’t changing. But the world as you know it is about to change before your very eyes. Everything else, everything besides Me and My love is about to change. Hold on to Me. Hold on to My grace. Cling to My love, and watch as it even appears to expand and envelop you in ways you have never experienced. This is a time of everything about Me growing in intensity in your life, mind, eyes and heart.
7 “For a brief moment I forsook you,
Isaiah 54:6-9
But with great compassion I will gather you.
8 “In an outburst of anger
I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting lovingkindness I will have compassion on you,”
Says the Lord your Redeemer.
9 “For this is like the days of Noah to Me,
When I swore that the waters of Noah
Would not flood the earth again;
So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you
Nor will I rebuke you.
It will seem like I have changed — gotten bigger, more active, more apparent. It will seem like My love has gotten stronger, more tangible, more real. I’m telling you now, I’m not the one who is changing. I Am making it possible for you to see and experience Me in greater measure. I Am removing veils, false perceptions, lies, misunderstandings and even walls erected from a place of hurt. My love isn’t changing. I Am not changing. You are the one I Am changing — for good, for My glory because of My grace. You are the one who is changing.
How to Respond
- Sit with the Lord and welcome Him in to every aspect of your heart, mind, family and life.
- Pray, Lord Jesus, would You come and change me? Would you change how I see, perceive and understand You? Would you expand my ability to receive and experience Your love, Your grace and to see Your glory? Come Lord, You are most welcome here with me. I place no restrictions on your access to me, my mind, heart, family and life. Come Holy Spirit, come.
- Declare, the Lord is changing people’s ability to see Him, experience His Presence, His glory and His love. He is opening eyes, hearts and minds to experience Him and His Kingdom in a brand new, greatly intensified way. The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
- Decree, I will not restrict the Lord’s access to my heart, mind, home, family and life. I welcome Him to come in and expand my ability to see, perceive and fathom His love, His person and His ways. I will allow the Lord to change me however He sees fit, so that I am one who experiences His love in greater intensity and His Kingdom come, on earth as it is in Heaven.
