Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord! It has been a little while since I've received so many strong messages for the Americans of the United States--messages of coming captivity and disaster because of their continued idolatry, rebellion against God, and unwillingness to change their evil ways. They are on the cusp of a new season of judgment from the Lord, a disciplining, so to speak. Today's word is taken from Jeremiah 13 and chapters 5-6, which is quite to the point: "Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not plead the case of the fatherless to win it, they do not defend the rights of the poor." "Should I not punish them for this?" declares the Lord. "Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this? A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land: The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and My people l

Greetings in the Lord! Oh, the prophets of the Old Testament--how they spoke with such fervor and directness the words of the Lord. Not people pleasers , to be sure. Well, today's word is taken from that vein. It comes from Ezekiel 33, where the Lord tells Ezekiel that he has been chosen by God to be a "watchman" for the house of Israel; to speak to them whatever the Lord commands...or Ezekiel will be held accountable for not saying anything when he was commanded to speak. "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from Me. When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood." Ezekiel 33:7-9 So that's the pretenses under which I share today's word. It's a last call for people to repent and change their ways because soo

Greetings in the Lord! Last weekend I went to the Seoul International Book Fair and had a special treat as I walked out of Seoul train station--a picture display celebrating their 60t h anniversary of being a nation. South Korea was paying tribute to all the 60+ nations that helped them during the North Korean invasion. The memorabilia was very touching, as were the reflective looks on the faces of the Koreans, many of whom probably could recall their own personal experiences of that time and afterwards. Its funny too, in the time that I've been here, I've had several of the older generation Koreans show their appreciation for all that America has done for them over the years by giving a thumbs up and saying "Americans, good." In February the Lord arranged for a "chance" meeting downtown with a lady who gave me a tour of central Taegu . The main things she showed me were the early American missionary sites in Taegu and the post-war ventures that helped

Greetings in the Lord! From time to time I get asked about dream interpretation--how to know when they are "God dreams" and how to discern their meanings, and the like. That's why I often share my dreams and their meanings on this blog, to give inquisitive and maturing Christians insight into this form of communication from the Lord. So, having said that, I'd like to share another dream I had this week. Just before I woke up on Monday I looked above me and saw a man with a huge bald head looking down at me. On his face were really wide nose nostrils, like little black caves in his face, and he had an open mouth with missing teeth. I could almost smell his bad breath as I woke up startled, wondering, "What the heck was that?" After pondering the dream, I understood some of the dream language I have already learned from past dreams: * A big bald head that looks like a rock is a stubborn or hard-headed person; I've had dreams before where a person was
