Contract Nearly Finished

Greetings in the Lord! Today's verse is from Isaiah 16, which talks about the fall of Moab. This passage has already been given by the Lord in regards to the conflict in Syria, as Syria is the "Moab" mentioned.  In fact, I did a search and saw that all of the words concerning Syria and the fall of Assad were given in April '11 & '13, June '11 & 12, and September '11 & 13.  Not sure why the Lord clumped them together like that, but I did notice from re-reading Isaiah 16 today that a time frame was given in the word: three years. "This is the word the Lord has already spoken concerning Moab.  But now the Lord says: "Within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab's splendor and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble."  Isaiah 16:13-14. I wish I would've remembered that part of the verse when it was given back in April of 2011, as I did have some S

Tree of Life

Greetings in the Lord! I teach sometimes in our adult Sunday school class, and this past weekend I had another such opportunity.  Our topic was: "Magic and Sorcery--Delightful or Dangerous?  How Christians should understand the popular book genre of sorcery and witchcraft."  The class mainly focused on the Harry Potter series, as that book series is currently  the most dangerous for the spiritual life of a Christian.  The big reason?  Rowling uses the names of real demons, actual spells, charms, and incantations, and follows authentic practices of Satanism, Wicca, and various other pagan traditions in her book series to weave her storyline.  By using these actual names and practices, she not only teaches the reader accurately about such elements, but each book becomes a portal for unclean and evil spirits to enter the "house" of the owner.  A curse comes upon that household immediately, and once those spirits come in, they begin right away to exercise demonic in

Like a Soaring Eagle, a Bird of Prey

Greetings in the Lord! This morning I had a dream where I was being shown all different types of drones--the unmanned flying aircraft popular these days with the Obama administration.  The man showing me these drones pointed out the varied weaponry on each, which included all types of guns and rocket launchers and telescopic lenses with tracking devices, and gave me a short briefing of each one's detailed purpose.  I was amazed that there was such a variety; each for a specific assignment.  Some of the drones had other technology as well, but mostly these were for attack, locating targets, and intercepting communications.  In short, they were very expensive model airplanes used for surveillance and offensive military assignments.  Well, after a vivid dream I usually Google online and see what's happening in the news, as most often it is related.  Sure enough, I came across this article today: http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/drones-american-skies-airliners/2013/11/08/id/5

He Makes Wars Cease...

Greetings in the Lord! Well, I wrote not too long ago from 2 Samuel 3, about how the war between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted a long time...and people wrote back to me confirming that their "war" was indeed taking a long time!  Yes, many of us are tired and weary from battling against the schemes of the devil these past months, and even though we know we are growing stronger in the Lord because of our trials, we still can't help but to pray at times, "Lord, are we there yet?" Well, today's word is one of encouragement.  It is from Psalm 46, and the verses that speak so loudly to me today are 9-11: He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear, He burns the shields with fire.  "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.   Praise God for that!  For truly, Go

God Is a Mighty Tempest of Justice

Greetings in the Lord! This morning I turned to Isaiah 3, a passage that was given in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.  It is quite descriptive and accurate for that storm, even citing what would take place in the days and weeks that followed.  So, naturally as I read that again this morning I was wondering, "Is another storm coming?"  And the answer that I discern in my heart is "Yes.  Another cleansing wind comes." Immediately I saw a map of the western coast of Mexico and the United States and saw a huge swirling mass to the west of these lands.  It moved from the central through the northwest part of Mexico and into parts of California, Arizona, New Mexico and continued up through Colorado and over to Texas, Oklahoma, and beyond. Isaiah 3:10) "Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.  Woe to the wicked!  Disaster is upon them!  They will be paid back for what their hands have done."
