Today’s Scripture
Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.
Romans 13:11, AMP

This Is a Critical Time
Some people live with a low-time mentality. “I never get any good breaks. I’ll never get out of this neighborhood. I’ll never be successful. It’s been too long.” You have to turn it around and get in agreement with God. Today’s Scripture stresses the importance of the season. This is a critical time, so don’t take it lightly. What you’ve been believing for is not years down the road. It’s at hand. It’s close. It could happen any day. You are closer to meeting the right person than you’ve ever been, closer to seeing your health turn around than you’ve ever been, closer to seeing explosive blessings than you’ve ever been. Live with this expectancy. There has to be an anticipation in your spirit that this could be your day. Don’t discount it and think, “This isn’t for me.” If you don’t wake up, if you don’t stir your faith up, you’ll miss the new things God wants to do. God wants to give you favor right here, right now. Get your hopes up.

Are you awake? Do you believe it’s your high time?

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for the call to wake up, to get my hopes up, to start expecting things to change. Thank You that I’m closer to going to the next level and seeing explosive blessings than I’ve ever been. I believe that I’m about to see this high time. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

SECTION TWO

Beloved, in the natural, there are so many reasons for us to be afraid. We can be fearful of terrorist attacks. We can be worried about contracting diseases and plagues. We can be anxious about destruction and accidents. Round the clock, there seems to be legitimate reasons for us to be filled with dread.

But there is a realm that is higher than what we see in the natural, and I declare to you today that YOU SHALL NOT BE AFRAID. Fear is a spiritual condition, and cannot be combated with a natural answer, or by us trying to reason it away. The Bible tells us that the natural mind cannot understand things that are spiritual (1 Cor. 2:14).

So how can you not be afraid? Invite the God of peace to reign in your life. As you do that, the robust peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.

Beloved, as you allow the Lord Jesus to be your refuge and your hiding place, you can receive the peace that He gives. Today, hear your Lord Jesus whispering to you, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27).

Receive His supernatural peace, which is beyond what is logical, beyond what your limited mind can comprehend. Receive His supernatural peace that will guard your heart and become a bulwark for your mind. And may Jehovah Shalom, our God of Peace, fill your heart and set you free to live fearlessly in these dangerous times!
