TODAY’S DEVOTION (Thursday 3rd April 2025)
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 TLB
WELCOME TO THE 93RD DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY
The goodness of the LORD has been running after us. Our lives testify. It’s the 3rd day of our 21 days apostolic renewal. The insight the LORD is sharing with us on our finances is creating a spiritual awakening in the lives of all. This is the LORD’s doing, and it is marvelous to our sight.
Day unto day the LORD has been refreshing our hearts with life giving truths. His mercy has prevented the evil one from messing up our lives. He said as a father pities his children, so He pities those who fear Him. We have been surviving by His everlasting compassion.
To Him all glory belongs. Amen
Today, we will be looking at an apostolic concept I describe as prophetic quarantine. It was not long ago that the word quarantine entered the psyche of every human; you remember the covid era. People were told to stay indoors, those with diseases were quarantined.
It was a sad moment for the world. Our hearts still go to those who lost loved ones. May the LORD continue to comfort them.
To be quarantine means to be isolated from others due to exposure to something infectious. Prophetic quarantine was when God isolated Mirriam from the rest of the nation of Israel when she was under judgment. She caught something that God never wanted it spread to others. That is not a place God wants any of us to be, hence we are going to learn how not to be in that place today.
Sadly, many live their days under prophetic quarantine. You do not see a major outbreak of God in their lives. You do not see great things spoken concerning us in the Holy Scriptures happen in their lives.
When they are sick, healing will not break forth. When they need money, divine provision will not come to their rescue. They will have to lie or do something to bail themselves out.
THEY LIVE LIKE SPIRITUAL ORPHANS, WITH NO HEAVENLY FATHER TAKING CARE OF THEM.
When demons advance towards them the glory of God will not appear to neutralize them. When the enemy comes in like a flood against them, the Spirit of the LORD will not raise a standard against him. They are always on this mountain or cave, on this prayer ground or that prayer ground, praying for this or that deliverance.
If they are not raising an altar here, they are silencing one the other side. If they are not breaking an altar there, they are on a fasting spree the other side to be free from demons. They are in prophetic quarantine with their apostles, prophets, and general overseers who lead them. That is why they go through such things.
Child of God, so many people in and outside the church today are in prophetic quarantine.
They are outside the camp of God’s manifest presence. His glory is not around their lives like a shield, to protect them from terrible diseases, grinding poverty, curses from anywhere, the wickedness of the wicked, etc. They are not enjoying the protective power of God’s glory promised to the end time Church. The Bible says,
“then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering.
And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain. Isaiah 4:5-6 NKJV
This scripture tells us of what God want to do in our lives today, as members of the end time Church.
SOME ARE ENJOYING IT, THAT IS WHY YOU DO NOT SEE THEM BREAKING, SILENCING, OR RAISING ALTARS.
You do not see them sow seeds to get miracles. You do not see them go to this mountain, cave or prayer ground or that other one to pray. You do not see them running around looking for deliverance. You do not see them praying with oil, water, candles or incense. You do not see them running after prophets.
The LORD has created around their lives a cloud of His glory to prevent that from happening. The preachers they sit under are not under any form of prophetic quarantine. They do not take them to the mountains or caves or ask them to visit prayer grounds to pray.
They do not serve them with unholy communion, wash their feet, pour olive oil on them, ask them to tap into their anointing or give them holy water, or any of the religious relics given to church people today.
They are busying laboring in the word and doctrine to have Christ fully formed in them. They are busy placing them in the center of God’s ways, will and plans for their lives. Our devotional text says,
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11 TLB).
Friend, if you do not want to be under prophetic quarantine, do not sit under a preacher who is. You know a preacher who is by what happens in your life under their ministries. If your moral life is not changing, and your walk with the LORD coming alive, it’s a sign that your pastor has been quarantined by the LORD.
You may be getting money, breakthroughs and enjoying the best of this life under them, but if Jesus is not alive in you, if your moral life is corrupt, if you have no purity, no integrity, no hunger for God and more of Him; if you are not hungry and thirsting for righteousness, your have been quarantined like the one you are sitting under.
If evil is breaking forth in your life without God coming to the rescue, you have been quarantined. God sent this word to request that you leave that Church, that preacher, or that prophet you are under. He wants you to seek Him for a leader He has not quarantined, so that you can begin to enjoy the best of His glory!! Amen
As we bring this to a close, it is important to understand that many spiritual leaders have been quarantined by the LORD because of the corrupt anointing they now carry. If you sit under them, or under those who sit under them, you will not see the glory of God working wonders in your life. You will not have the rest Jesus promised those who come to Him, because it will be impossible to find the LORD.
It is my prayer that none of us will ignore this word with an “I will not walk in it” attitude.
MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR TODAY.
Thus says the Lord: “Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not listen.’ Jeremiah 6:16-17 NKJV
