My child, I know, it’s been a period of growth and battle. While I have been refining you on the inside so that you could shine even more on the outside, distractions from the kingdom of darkness have felt heavier than they actually were, since you were attempting to focus on your calling as well. A lying spirit in the meantime whispered that you were not moving enough and not achieving enough for my Kingdom, telling you that you were going backwards. Well done for not falling into that deceptive trap.
Now, however, you feel like wanting a rest and laying down arms. For this reason, I say to you: not yet. Which doesn’t mean you cannot slow down, but this is a time to pick up new weapons. They will be the gentle, yet fiery ones of worship (behind closed doors as you come to Me and “recharge your batteries”) and loving grace.
Yes, My beloved. As chaos and disputes, rage and violence unfold in the world, I want you to follow My steps and go with the opposite spirit. As I am compassionate and gracious, I need you to be the same and change atmospheres wherever I send you. Be profusely generous and spread My grace to those who don’t know Me and have fallen short of My glory. By grace forgive the unforgivable, extend My love to the unlovable and have mercy on the resentful. Set the pace of the Kingdom as you are led by My Spirit and I will restore and strengthen you like never before.
Activation:
Take time in God’s presence to worship Him, whatever that means for you. It could be dancing, singing, painting, writing or declaiming His Word back to Him. Just focus on Him and Him alone. As you do, lay any burden or concern at His feet and sense the shift in the spirit as the Lord lifts any weight off of you.
Then ask for His blueprint for the day. Where and to whom is He directing you to lavish people with His grace? You can repeat this as needed during the week and beyond.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in compassion and lovingkindness.Psalm 103:8 (AMP)
23 since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God,
24 and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] [a]grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,
Romans 3:23-24 (AMP)
But I do not consider my life as something of value or dear to me, so that I may [with joy] finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify faithfully of the good news of God’s [precious, undeserved] grace [which makes us free of the guilt of sin and grants us eternal life].
Acts 20:24 (AMP)
