Remember that You are Blessed

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Psalm 73:22-28~ "I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You. Yet I am always with You; You hold me by my right hand. You guide me with Your counsel, and afterward You will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Those who are far from You will perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You. But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all Your deeds." ~Has there been a great change in your life from before you gave yourself to Christ to afterwards? Most likely there has been! But today's word reminds us that on occasion, even the righteous get caught up in envying the supposed ease and carefree lives of the wicked.  We lament over what we think they are getting away with and envy in our hea...

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Esther 8:1-8~ "That same day King Xerxes gave Queen Esther the estate of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came into the presence of the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her. The king took off his signet ring, which he had reclaimed from Haman, and presented it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed him over Haman's estate. Esther again pleaded with the king, falling at his feet and weeping. She begged him to put an end to the evil plan of Haman the Agagite, which he had devised against the Jews. Then the king extended the gold scepter to Esther and she arose and stood before him. "If it pleases the king," she said, "and if he regards me with favor and thinks it the right thing to do, and if he is pleased with me, let an order be written overruling the dispatches that Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, devised and wrote to destroy the Jews in all the king's provinces. For how can...

I Spy With My Little Eye

  Greetings in the Lord~ Well, all last week I was in Washington DC for a teachers' conference.  It's been a while since I've been to DC, since January 6th, the January 6th, to be sure.  Yes, I was there--because God put it on my heart to be there; I was actually planning on going to the inaugural prayer breakfast a week later, as I've done before.  But this time, it was fun to tell everyone my version of that infamous day, which is far from the B.S. told by the media and corrupt politicians.  However, as I've already written about what I saw that day I will not repeat it today, but rather, I will share a few tidbits from my past week and what I discern is the significance.   For starters, I had a vision three times while was in DC--the same vision each time.  It was of the Capitol building and of the street leading up to it.  In the vision, I saw a very complicated network of underground passageways leading to and from the Capitol and all u...

Wild Animals

Greetings in the Lord! On April 14 th I felt led to read the book of Revelation, which quite surprised me, as it is rare that I read from that book of the Bible. In fact, one time the Lord put it on my heart to read the whole Bible, and I did, up to the 16-17 th chapters of Revelation. Then it was like a hit a wall and could not go on. Well, this time was similar. I read to about the 10 th chapter and hit that wall again. So, instead of trying to continue, I re-read the notes I took for the 1-10 chapters and examined some of the things that jumped out to me this time; namely, I took note of how often seas and rivers were mentioned, most specifically in chapter 8 where at the 2 nd and 3rd trumpet blasts the rivers and sea were struck with plague-like calamities reminiscent of the plagues in Egypt. The other verse that stood out profoundly to me was Revelation 6:8: "I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close be...

Trample the Great Lion and Serpent

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Luke 12:29-36~ "As the crowds increased, Jesus said, "This is a wicked generation. It asks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.....for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here." "No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you." ~In these verses we see that Jesus is...

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...
