Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord! Lions, tigers and bears--oh no! Yes, more prophetic words from the Lord referring to wild animals, only this time it is specifically about lions. In 2 Kings 17, it tells us about the events and reasons for the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel: spiritual idolatry and the apostasy of the Israelites. They stubbornly continued to worship foreign gods and idols, even though they were told many times to repent by prophets. Therefore the Lord turned His back on them and sent them into exile by the hand of the Assyrians. Now here's the interesting part: after Assyria deported Israel from their towns and reoccupied those cities with foreigners, lions came and attacked the people. In fact, there was so much devouring that they wrote to the king of Assyria and requested to know the "requirements" of the God of the land (Israel)--since none of them knew or worshipped God. Therefore an Israelite priest was sent back by the Assyrian king to teach them

Greetings in the Lord! This week the Lord has given me two dreams with very similar instances in both, and a movie to emphasize the same point: listening to deceiving/enticing spirits. I think this is something that many Christians familiar with the prophetic movement worry about to a certain degree, actually. Anyhoo , in both dreams a woman came up to me and was whispering very close to my mouth, trying to disarm and lure me with their soothing words. In the first dream the woman was older, probably in her 70s or 80s, but had jet black hair instead of grey and her fingernails were beautifully painted with big diamond rings on her fingers. She was so elegant looking that I wanted to warm up to her, but I ended up being completely repulsed by her every time she spoke. She asked me how old I was and I became angry, knowing that she knew very well how old I was; she was only trying to entice me to listen to her, to warm up to her and give ear to what she had to say. She pretended to

Greetings in the Lord! Sometimes there are verses in the Word that really make me scratch my head, like this one for example: "Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being." Proverbs 20:30 Now I know there are several good Proverbs that give guidance about raising godly children and even what to do with foolish people, and they both seem to advocate a certain amount of forcefulness, but the above verse is almost alarming! Obviously, it is saying that sometimes it is necessary to use severe punishment to restrain evil or deter wicked behavior. The Lord also lead me to Psalm 106, which is a confession of Israel's long history of rebellion and a prayer for His mercy to save them again. The psalm tells of the Lord using severe judgments to bring about correction for their wicked behavior. Needless to say, I asked the Lord for more information to understand what He was saying now to us in these passages. He gave me this vision: I saw a map of the U
