Today’s Devotional Scripture: 3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. - Jeremiah 31:3 KJV
The Message For Today (April 1, 2026):
***Audio Version For Paid members: With Lovingkindness Audio 506
Jesus is calling. He’s calling us out of the darkness. He’s calling us out of low places. He’s calling us into His marvelous light. In this season, Isaiah 60:1-3 shows us that there are times when the Lord calls us to arise in the light that he has given us because the earth is covered in darkness.
That time is coming upon us. The way that darkness is spreading through every realm, and it has been for decades, but there’s been an acceleration. The darkness in the world, the depression from not being able to manage the issues of life, the outright demoralization from not being able to afford the cost of living, the wars that are springing up all over the planet, the distractions, the fear, all of it is darkness.
All of these weapons of the enemy are being unleashed to usher in a season where we don’t have the liberty to worship. We won’t have the liberty to know God, to joy in our salvation, to be free, and to be sovereign. These things are under attack every single day, but when we stand on the word of the Lord, and we come before him, withholding nothing, the Lord pours out His Spirit.
He pours out all of the love, all of the peace, and all of the joy we need to rise in a dark and fallen world, and the darkness is different. The darkness is heavier, but God is still able.
He is still God.
He is still our strong power.
He is still lifting us.
He is still blessing us.
He is still covering us.
He is still bringing forth the peace that surpasses all understanding.
He is still God. He is faithful in every season, and with loving kindness, he draws us into him.
He draws us to his presence, to his spirit. He opens his heart. Behold, it says in Revelation 3:20-21, that he knocks at the door waiting for us to open it. In Revelation 3:20-21, it states:
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. - Revelation 3:20-21 KJV
So He is truly the author and the finisher of our faith. He is truly guiding us to walk this walk that he has set before us, to know there is not one thing that is greater than him. He will always make a way of escape, and we can come before Him and pray for the liberty in which he has set us free. This is the time to answer. This is the time to say yes, God.
This is the time to be still and know that He is God, for he will be exalted in all of the heavens and all of the earth. He is God alone. As we see the darkness in the land, we see the chaos, we see all of the uprising and the frustration with women and the frustration in society, the culture war, the physical wars, the digital wars, the A.I. wars of replacing children and college grads in jobs, like the entire earth is at war, but God gives us something in the midst of it.
He gives us the promise that he will never leave us and never forsake us. He draws us to Him through his scripture, through his word. He sends messengers to spread the gospel. He sends the women of God and the men of God who bear His glory. He sends the answer in the earth.
He sends the music. He sends the worship. He sends the joy. He sends His angels. He lifts us up in times of trouble. He heals the broken. He covers our hearts and minds. This is the love of our Father in the earth. He is with us right here, right now. He is God right here, right now.
He is able. He is making a way of escape for us. He is making a place for us to rest in the midst of it. He gives us His scriptures. He gives us his word that we may have the tools needed to overcome the devil and all of the weapons of the enemy. All of the principalities and dark forces must bow in the face of our God. They cannot prevail.
So, us being full of glory, being image bearers in Christ, and being his daughters, this matters. Identifying as His daughter, identifying as a follower of Christ, and identifying as one who knows God and God knows you. Relationship, prayer, fasting, joy, despite the circumstances, prayer, faith, all demonstrated in His word.
All laid out that we may walk in the victory of the Lord while in the land of the living. This is the will of the Father:
that we would come closer,
that we would come to Him,
that we would be ready to just sit with Him,
to sup with Him, to open that door as He is knocking.
He has been knocking. So to open that door and to let God in. To be authentic, to break bread with Him, knowing that He is God and that he is more than able. Surrendering our fears, our worries, anxiety, and the things that we can’t control, all of them, placing these things at his feet. Knowing that He is the sovereign God, the great I am, the King of the universe, and that He has our world in his hands.
He knows the plans that He thinks towards us to give us a future and a hope. This is the promise of God, unconditional. He knows the plans. So tonight, this morning, whatever time you’re listening to this devotional, be still and know that he is God. Be still, and rest in His presence. Release the weight of yesterday.
Prepare for this new day and this new dawn, giving Him glory. Release the weight and know that he is God.
