God Hears the Cry of the Needy and Gives Wisdom

Greetings in the Lord, Well, in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, now just a tropical storm, praise the Lord for sparing Florida and the south eastern coast of the US.  And we continue to pray for a speedy rebuilding of Houston and other areas of the Caribbean that are in their clean up after a volatile week in tropical weather, and for their safety as lawless hooligans take advantage of the chaos for personal gain. Today's word comes from Psalm 102.  It is a cry from the psalmist for God's intervention and wisdom in a time when he was being taunted by wicked foes far and wide, from those who would love to see his defeat. "Hear my prayer, Lord; let my cry for help come to You.  Do not hide Your face from me when I am in distress.  Turn our ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly...I forget to eat my food. ...I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins. I lie awake; I have become like a bird al...

The Trial of the People

Greetings in the Lord~ This week the Supreme Court heard the arguments from the lawyers representing the (small group of) Colorado voters that wanted to have Trump removed from the state's ballot in the next election.  While their arguments were much less than convincing, in the bigger picture, the fact that the Supreme Court was even listening to their sophisticated whines has an important spiritual implication, as today's prophetic word comes from Micah 6.  This word has to do with the 'trial of the people,' as they represent just how far down and wide the rebellion against the Lord goes in the U.S. culture.  These folks are on trial with the Lord presiding, and it doesn't go well for them! First off, it is interesting that this passage begins with the Lord calling to the mountains and hills to hear their complaints: "Stand up and state your case against Me.  Let the mountains and hills be called to witness your complaints.  And now, O mountains, listen to th...

Small Beginnings, Big Endings

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word is from Matthew 13:31-33; two parables about the kingdom of God. "Jesus told them another parable: 'The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.' He told them still another parable: 'The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.' The word from the Lord today is that 1) the big projects, His projects, that you've begun to understand and presently are undertaking may seem to you as insignificant, not at all the vision the Lord has put in your heart. Don't get frustrated, stay on your course, for in due time the project will bear much fruit and many will come to taste of it; 2) the 2nd part of the word is that while ...

Put 'Belief' Back in the Believers

Greetings in Christ! Today's word comes from Galatians 3:2-5: "I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? Have you suffered so much for nothing--if it really was for nothing? Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?" We are entering a very special season of a powerful move of God; many will see things that they've not seen before--all in the name of Jesus Christ! This is bound to make the "religious" folk among us a bit uncomfortable, if not down right alarmed. Imagine going to church and Bible study for years, reading about miraculous healings, glorious visions, and people operating in the gifts of the Spirit, then, watching one day as these wonderful things begin to happen in great n...

Learn From the Fall of Nineveh

Greetings in the Lord! Today's scripture is from Nahum 3:3-7. "Charging cavalry, flashing swords and glittering spears! Many caualties, piles of fallen ones, bodies without number, people stumbling over the corpses--all because of the wanton appetite of a harlot, alluring, the paramour of sorceries, who enslaved nations by her prostitution and peoples by her witchcraft. "I am against you," declares the Lord Almighty. "I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your bareness and the kingdoms your shame. I will pelt you with filth, I will treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle. All who see you will flee from you and say, 'Nineveh is in ruins--who will mourn for her?' Where can I find anyone to comfort you?" This passage is an interesting oracle of the fall of Nineveh. After their prior act of repentance (from the story of Jonah), Ninevah returns to her corrupt and cruel ways...and witchcraft. I discern this is about some...

Keeping My Eyes on Jesus

Greetings in the Lord! Today's verse is from I Timothy 4:1-8: "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding ...

Praise Report

Hallelujah! At the end of January the Lord gave me a word (which was published on this site, then disappeared with 2 others!?) that He was going to deliver the Christian missionary captives in Iraq. While originally there were 4 captives--one was shot, condolences to the grieving family--the other 3 were rescued today!! Amen and amen!! God is so-o-o good and true to His word. Anyway, just wanted to send this out as I run off to the airport. ~Be blessed and be a blessing.
