Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord! The past couple of days the Lord has been having me again read the Apocryphal books, especially the book of Tobit. In this book one of the main characters, Tobit, stresses several times to his son the importance of almsgiving. " Set aside part of your goods for almsgiving. Never turn your face from any poor man and God will never turn His from you. Measure your alms by what you have; if you have much, give more; if you have little, give less, but do not be mean in giving alms. By doing so, you will lay up for yourself a great treasure for the day of necessity. For almsgiving delivers from death and saves men from passing down to darkness. Alms is a most effective offering for all those who give it in the presence of the Most High ." Tobit 4:7-11. For those of you who get bent out of shape that the Lord would have me study the Apocryphal books, the same principle Tobit teaches his son can also be found in Ecclesiastes 11:2) "Give portions to

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word caught me a little off guard, I must admit. As I was praying this morning the Holy Spirit said, "Black folks." I wasn't at first sure of what He meant but soon all of the "black folks" that the Lord had put in my life over the years to encourage, strengthen, and enable me to overcome whatever circumstances I may have been going through at the time ran through my mind like a favorite song. Literally, I went all the way back to when I was just a pre-schooler in a church that had a Sunday school teacher named Simon, a wise and loving old black man. He was very old and still had memories of the Old South and how his family dealt with and overcame the issue of slavery. Of course at that tender age I didn't comprehend his stories or wisdom but only responded to his kindness, a reflection of Jesus in his heart. I recalled past black familes who were my coaches, elementary principal, and friends. Yes, many friends along

Greetings in the Lord! Lately the Lord has been having me read Isaiah chapters 7-8. Those chapters tell a story about King Ahaz of Jerusalem being scared about the impending threat of King Rezin of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel. Isaiah the prophet is sent to King Ahaz to give him a word of encouragement, saying that he should not lose heart, but be assured of God's deliverance, as the Lord says: "'It will not take place, it will not happen, for the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is only Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be too shattered to be a people. The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah's son. If you do not stand firm in your faith you will not stand at all.'" Isaiah 7:7-9. Then Isaiah goes on to say that the Lord will give a sign of sure deliverance, which taken literally, was going to be the birth and subsequent age that boy will be (around 2 yrs old) when fullfillment

Greetings in the Lord! I wanted to share an update about the time the Lord sent me to Adrian College last year. During my brief stay there, the Lord had filled my nights with dreams and days with words for the students, faculty, and administration--the nature of which could be summed up with this word: "The Lord is going to shake this place." The Lord showed me dreams in which I saw and heard the male athlete mentality and perpetual sexual violence towards the girls on that small campus, even prompting me to speak with administrators warning them about the dangers of sex crimes and gang rapes against female students. In the daytime I witnessed theft and general disregard for morality and racial/sexual equality in the faculty of the athletic department, even an effort to hide crimes committed by athletes. The Lord had me again speak His words, which were not well received and warnings not heeded. In January of 2008, things started to be revealed publically. First, the coll
