Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord! I want to share with you a word I received exactly 7 years ago while I lived in Syria. It is taken from 1 Kings 12:1-20. The main person in the passage is the young king Rehoboam , Solomon's son, as he begins to rule over Israel after the long reign of Solomon. I knew at the time the Lord was referencing President Bashar Assad as the young king Rehoboam . " Rehoboam went to Shechem , for all the Israelites had gone there to make him king. When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard this (he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon), he returned from Egypt. So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and the whole assembly of Israel went to Rehoboam and said to him: "Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you." Rehoboam answered, "Go away for three days and then come back to me." So the people went away. Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who ha

Greetings in the Lord! As many of you may know, I live abroad teaching English and this week my classes will be discussing the language for various weather conditions and natural weather phenomenon . So it was curious that in the middle of preparing lesson plans the Lord drew my attention to Matthew 16:1-3: The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times." Hmm ...that's certainly food for thought given the current world events. It seems to me that this prophetic word is saying that there must be people not seeing the signs of the times that are happening around the world at the moment. Or maybe, and more specifically, there may be some

Greetings in the Lord! About three times in the past week the Lord has given me yet more passages of Scripture talking about the rise of Babylon these days and of them subduing countries. Two such passages were from 2 Chronicles 36 and 2 Kings 24. Both of those accounts tell of Babylon overrunning Judah and of the final days of Judah's kings, the destruction of the temple, and exile to Babylon. And while I understood the stories I was still yet unclear about the spiritual significance of this word and what exactly the Lord is talking about. But alas, the Lord speaks again the same word--the season is now for the rise of Babylon (United States) in the world--so I will continue to tell it as He gives it. Today's word is from the book of Habakkuk , chapters 1 & 2, and sheds more light on the word at hand: "Look at the nations and watch--and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told." "I AM r
