Mountain of Faith

Greetings in the Lord!

Today's word comes from Zechariah 4:4-7~
"I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?" He answered, "Do you not know what these are?" "No, my lord," I replied. So he said to me, "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the Lord Almighty. "What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of 'God bless it! God bless it!'"

~On the drive back to Big Rapids on Monday evening I looked up to the sky and saw fat clouds reflecting colors of red and peach from the setting sun. As I was admiring the view I noticed off in the distance a cloud formation that looked like a huge mountian coming up from the horizon. It was so unusual looking, but then it dawned on me--that was the same huge mountian I saw in a vision back in August! At that time, during that vision, the Lord gave me the scripture about moving mountians with our faith, and also a word that I was travelling to a mountain to minister a word from the Lord there. On that same day I met a preacher from Africa and the Lord had me prophesy over him about the things he would be doing back in Africa. Yesterday that pastor called me from out of the blue and invited me to meet with him again while he was here in the States to open a new church in the Washington DC area. It seems the Lord has chosen this man, this "Zerubbabel", to build, "Not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit." What mountians does this man and his people have to contend with? What words of faith will the Lord send me that great distance to proclaim to them? Only the Spirit knows. In the meantime, I ask for your prayers, fellow intercessors, that the Lord will guide that "Zerubbabel" down the path the Lord has chosen for him. And also for the Lord to fill my mouth with His words to share, my eyes with visions to see His plans, and my heart with His concerns and compassions for the people where I will be sent to minister to. Pray also that the Lord would begin to open the storehouses of heaven to provide whatever may be needed to carry out His calling. In Jesus's name we pray, amen.
~Be blessed and be a blessing.

Joel 2: Locusts Swarm and Devour the Land

  Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Joel 2, and is accompanied by a dream.  Let me first share about the passage from scripture.  In this passage, we read about the Lord directing an 'army' of locusts to come to devour and plunder the land as a form of judgment.  Interestingly, devouring locusts were one of the plagues that happened in Egypt long ago as a form of judgment to compel Pharaoh to let the Israelites leave their country--freeing them of their slavery.  Here, however, the plague of locusts come as a form of judgment upon His people for their persistent sin and stubborn rebellion against God.   "Ahead of them (locusts) the land lies as beautiful as the Garden of Eden.  Behind them is nothing but desolation, not one thing escapes....Look at them as they leap along the mountaintops.  Listen to the noise they make--like the rumbling of chariots, like the roar of fire sweeping across a field of stubble, or like an army moving into battle."  "

A Tsunami of Truth and Justice

  Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Psalm 31, and there are a couple of visions I will share as well. First, Psalm 31 is one that I don't get very often, probably because most of us don't find ourselves in this type of situation very often, if at all.  It is one in which the psalmist is crying out in deep distress and anguish to the Lord, even feeling like he is wasting away physically and emotionally all because of a great unjust conspiracy against him, a conspiracy so powerful and pervasive that everyone is running away from him, so it seems to the psalmist.  It is a lament of helplessness and abandonment that arises from the extreme wickedness of his foes, and distancing of those who were allies but now have retreated in self-preservation mode.  So while in immense distress, the psalmist resigns himself, even his very fate, to God alone and puts all his trust in the Lord to save him.  Complete surrender, like fasting and repentance, is a sure way to get God&

It's Not that Strange, Doctor

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Revelation 9, of which I will share verse 20-21: The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and the idols of gold, silver bronze, stone, and wood--idols that cannot see or hear or walk.  Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts. Man, people can be really stubborn.   Revelation 9 is a chapter that tells of all the destruction and hardship--"plagues"-- to come to the earth as a result of unrepentant sin before the coming of Jesus.  Using colorful and vivid imagery, it paints a picture of how spiritual beings and demons will be released to cause these torments, and yet, people will not give up their magic arts, worship of false gods, or sinful lifestyles.  They just go on obstinately believing in lies and deceptions because they want to, that's the bottom line.  They

Battlements of Rubies, Gates of Sparkling Jewels

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word is from Isaiah 54:1-17. I will highlight selected verses: V. 2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. V. 3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. V. 10 Though mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the Lord, who has compassion on you. V. 11 "O afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted, I will build you with stones of turquoise, your foundations with sapphires. V. 14 In righteousness you will be established; Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. V. 15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you. V. 16 "See, it is I w

Righteousness and Justice Your Foundation

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Isaiah 41:14-29, of which I will share selected verses: "Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I Myself will help you," declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. "See, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff. You will winnow them, the wind will pick them up, and a gale will blow them away. But you will rejoice in the Lord and glory in the Holy One of Israel." "The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thrist. But I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will make rivers flow on barren heights...I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia,....so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created i

My Brother Ishmael

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Genesis 16:9-12 and Genesis 21:14-20~ And he said, "Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?"  "I'm running away from my mistress Sarai," she answered. Then the angel of the Lord told Hagar, "Go back to your mistress and submit to her." The angel added, "I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count." The angel of the Lord also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers." Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the

Strong Hand of the Lord Moving Now

Greetings in the Lord~ Well, there are certainly a lot of prophetic words being fulfilled right now.  First the more difficult word from February about "natural disasters" and other difficult incidents coming to pass--we've had a month of tornadoes, flooding, avalanches, bomb cyclones, blizzards, major financial drops on global stock markets and 2 incidents of hAte ideology acting out in Amsterdam and New Zealand.  Whew!  As if that isn't enough, if I include other sources where I post prophetic words, there has been a fulfillment of a word from July 2018 about the MeToo Movement hitting the "boy" and "girl" pop band music industry of Asia (Korea-K POP and Japan-J POP) and also a word of victory from Psalm 98:1 in that, there was no collusion found between Russia and President Trump.  Any sane person already knew that, but the liberal media had been lying endlessly about it for two years so we can all celebrate with President Trump that the chara
