Restored in New York

Greetings in the Lord!

This weekend was spent at Walmart getting new tires for my car and shopping for yet another big winter storm to blow in....which it did. As I waited in the long check out line, then sat for an even longer time for my car to get taken care of, I read several different magazines all featuring the latest news on Hollywood celebrity lives. It never ceases to amaze me what the Holy Spirit will say about some of the people written about so frequently in these magazines...you know, they are just people, too, searching for God and the peace, joy, and unconditional love that only Jesus can give. And God is continuing to stir hearts in Hollywood and shake that place.

Take Angelina Jolie, for example. Way back when she was still married to Billy Bob Thornton the Lord gave me a dream about her. In the dream, she and I were boarding a little airplane at a private airport in England and I ended up sitting next to her. During the flight I talked to her about Jesus and of all the wonderful things He had done in my life up to that point. She was very interested to hear about it and told of her own deep longing for God and His truth. Within months of that dream she divorced Billy Bob and began her international humanitarian efforts. Since that time I have noted her path and life's choices and continued to pray for her on occasion.

Now I discern, like so many of us, that God is re-positioning her to a new place (New York City) and she will be entering a new season in her life, one of healing and strength and reaching out again in the projects that the Lord has prepared for her to do in this hour. It seems as though New York City is beckoning to her and that there are schools for her kids to enroll in and political action groups waiting for her to speak the new message the Lord has put on her heart. She is a servant of the Lord, whether like Cyrus, who did the Lord's will and never really knew Him, or whether like Lydia, the rich Gentile businesswoman from Thyatira whom Paul baptized (and her whole household), who worshipped God but did not yet know Christ. In any case, I praise God that He cares about each and every one of us and thank Him for His goodness and providence over our lives. May He continue to touch the hearts of all those He has put in a position of public visibility and favor and continue to guide them and keep them secure in His arms. 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&

Confession is Good for the Soul

Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Jeremiah 11, which carries a pretty powerful and poignant punch to the gut of those who love and know the Lord, for it is a message of, "This is the last straw."   Jeremiah was told to preach to the people of Israel and Judah: "Remind the people of Judah and Jerusalem about the terms of My covenant with them.  Say to them, 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: Cursed is anyone who does not obey the terms of My covenant!  For I said to your ancestors when I brought them out of the iron-smelting furnace of Egypt, "If you obey Me and do whatever I command you, then you will be My people, and I will be your God."  I said this so I could keep My promise to your ancestors to give you a land flowing with milk and honey---the land you live in today."  Jeremiah 11:2- 5 However, the majority of the people of Israel and Judah at that time were not faithful to God, for they worshiped Baal and other false

Unshakable Lord, Have Your Way

Greetings in the Lord~ Today in prayer the Lord put on my heart that it would be a little while before I get a word for 2021, but He did show me a vision of a large scale.  So it appears that things are hanging in a balance, and we know politically speaking for the U.S., things are hanging in a balance (even though Biden supporters have jumped the gun to declare him president).  Nothing official is slated to happen until January 6th, when electoral votes are to be counted by Vice President Pence, and realistically, it may not even be decided that day because we know already there will be objections to the current electoral votes from contested states because of rampant fraud in their elections.  As a result of planned objections, alternate electoral votes have already been submitted, which means that Congress will have to break separately for 2 hours to discuss their objections and decide on which set of electoral votes will be counted.  Constitutionally, if there is no agreement, then

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

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
