Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord~ This week's word comes from two places in Scripture: Isaiah 14 and 2 Samuel 13.  Now I've been receiving 2 Samuel 13 for a couple weeks but was not completely discerning what or who it was referring to, and as my practice, I wait until I know the prophetic meaning or significance before I post about it.  Even then, there are some words that take more prompting from the Lord for me to write about, usually because its on a delicate topic or of a sober nature that people don't get excited about--especially those who run after "sweet" prophetic words like they're kids chasing the ice cream truck.  Seriously.  However, I do think it's interesting that the pendulum has swung the other direction in places, where people are plain sick of "ice cream" because there are so many ice cream trucks driving around all the live long day.  All they hear is the noise of the trucks playing their jingle tunes that they shut their ears, go get

Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Ecclesiastes 7:1-9.  This book of wisdom in the Bible sometimes is hard to understand, in that, it has verses that seem contrary to conventional wisdom, and even appears to contradict itself from prior verses.  But much can be gleaned, nevertheless. "A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart. Frustration is better than laughter, because a sad face is food for the heart. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure. It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person than to listen to the song of fools.  Like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of fools.  This too is meaningless. Extortion turns a wise person into a fool, and a bribe corrupts the

Greetings in the Lord~ Well, this week is more of the same from the Lord; prophetic words addressing corruption, exposing sin, and recalibrating the land in the US, both in and outside of the American Church. This morning I had a dream in which I was walking along a trail in the woods which connected two gathering sites some distance apart.  I was alone on the trail in this dense forest and was enjoying my walk when I heard footsteps running up behind me.  Scared, I quickly hid in the brush and waited to see who it was.  A big man wearing a bright blue jacket came running by, and in his hand he held a long leash connected to a much smaller, weaker man that he was almost dragging along as his captive. "Yikes! He's taking prisoners out here," I thought.  After they ran past me, I was just about to come out from my hiding spot when I saw a huge group of people wearing blue running and riding bikes from the other direction!  They were fleeing from something as well.  I le

Greetings in the Lord~ Well, President Trump is just about finished with his tour of Asia, and despite what many "news" sources in the US will say, it went very well for the President.  There were many business deals signed to help with the global and regional economies, while issues of security, business ethics, and fair trade were also addressed in a productive and frank manner.  The internet chatter has been overwhelming positive for Trump in the countries where he visited for the most part, and I can confirm the support and respect he has garnered among the Chinese where I am.  Pretty much the verdict is this--he tells it like it is and doesn't back down.  He wins people's respect for his candor and strength.  Such a different report coming from the liberal left in the US!  And I've noticed something else, that the more distant one gets from those fake news sources geographically, the more sad and pathetic they sound.  From the Far East, they sound illogical

Greetings in the Lord! Early this morning while in prayer I felt the strong presence of the Lord.  After He was done talking to me about some personal things, His focus shifted to the world at large and He said, "I'm going to raise up intercessors from all around the world to pray for Donald Trump, for I am going to move throughout the nations using him.  I'm going to solidify his leadership globally and restore honor to him worldwide.  I am making a way where there is none now for My purposes to be accomplished in this hour.  My enemies will flee from every corner of the world with the new thing I am about to do.  I'm going to begin to break some very big strongholds in places on the earth that have been crying out to Me for freedom.  Watch and see!"   Wow--"cool," I thought. Then He said, " Revelation 8 ." When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.  And I saw the seven angels who stand before

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Revelation 9, of which I will share verse 20-21: The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and the idols of gold, silver bronze, stone, and wood--idols that cannot see or hear or walk.  Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts. Man, people can be really stubborn.   Revelation 9 is a chapter that tells of all the destruction and hardship--"plagues"-- to come to the earth as a result of unrepentant sin before the coming of Jesus.  Using colorful and vivid imagery, it paints a picture of how spiritual beings and demons will be released to cause these torments, and yet, people will not give up their magic arts, worship of false gods, or sinful lifestyles.  They just go on obstinately believing in lies and deceptions because they want to, that's the bottom line.  They

Greetings in the Lord, This past weekend I spent quite a bit of time enjoying the outdoors, one of our last dog days of summer. While I was enjoying the sun on the beach, I noticed there were several large plants growing in the sand. But upon closer inspection, they were not plants, but just weeds that had grown really tall. For whatever reason my attention was drawn to these weedy plants and I had the urge to pull one out of the sand. It took very little pulling for the whole entire plant, root system and all, to be uprooted from the sand. Then, like a hand bell, I shook the plant and watched as all of the sand that had been trapped in the root system fell freely back to the sand. Within a couple of seconds, the wispy root system was entirely separated from the sand and disposed of, while the sand freely returned to the beach. I pulled a few more weedy plants and found the same result, however, some weeds had vines underground with bulbs, as if they were trying to sprout new pla

Greetings in the Lord, Well, in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, now just a tropical storm, praise the Lord for sparing Florida and the south eastern coast of the US.  And we continue to pray for a speedy rebuilding of Houston and other areas of the Caribbean that are in their clean up after a volatile week in tropical weather, and for their safety as lawless hooligans take advantage of the chaos for personal gain. Today's word comes from Psalm 102.  It is a cry from the psalmist for God's intervention and wisdom in a time when he was being taunted by wicked foes far and wide, from those who would love to see his defeat. "Hear my prayer, Lord; let my cry for help come to You.  Do not hide Your face from me when I am in distress.  Turn our ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly...I forget to eat my food. ...I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins. I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on the roof.  All day long my enemies taunt me; those who rail

Greetings in the Lord, Today's word comes from Psalm 46: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the Earth give way in the mountains fall into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with it surging. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are an uproar, kingdoms fall; He lifts his voice, the earth melts. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolation he has brought on the Earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the Earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear and burns the shields with fire. He says, "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 Ja

Greetings in the Lord, In 2003-2006, the Lord had given me many words about all the troubles that would be heading to the United States: natural disasters (Hurricane Katrina), financial disasters (Wall Street 2008), and the coming of a false light (Obama) that would lead many people astray and usher in a time of great spiritual backsliding in the United States.  These, among other things, were foretold by the Lord and had significance beyond their obvious immediate impact and result.  Therefore, it behooves us to scratch beneath the surface and allow the Holy Spirit to explain "Why?"  Foretold events are significant and go beyond natural circumstances.  It is important to leave conventional wisdom and the mystique of science and technology to sit at the feet of the Holy Spirit.  He is the only one who can explain, "Why?" and illumine the Word of God to the deeper layers of meaning encased within. That is where prophesying gets a bit tricky.  We can only know in

Greetings in the Lord, It's not very often that I feel led to put updates on this blog of the prophetic words that get fulfilled, as I simply trust that God will bring them to pass in His timing and in His way.  And I certainly don't feel the need to prove anything to skeptics who doubt Christian prophets or scoff at the omnipotence of God.  The Most High is eternal and His throne is firmly established; though the rebellious shake their fists at Him, His edicts stand forever and His majesty fills the earth.  The Lord is unmovable.  Having said that, I still feel led to give an update from two prophetic words given over the summer. From May and June there were prophetic words published about the Lord brooding over international contracts and agreements made between the US and many different nations, and of the necessity of the parties involved to keep up their end of the agreement.  It was a word of warning to countries that would try to renege on these agreements and make s

Greetings in the Lord, A little over a month ago I received a prophetic word saying that God was really going to enforce and brood over the contracts and agreements made between nations during this year--mainly between the US and many different nations of the world.  It was a word to highlight and encourage several things: 1) for nations to adhere to and be faithful to what they sign the dotted line for; also, it was a warning that those leaders who think they can agree to one thing, but turn around and make secret deals to the contrary--they will suffer hardships and may be removed from office; 2) that sometimes it is in God's will for a nation to submit to the leading and authority of another, in this case, the US is being raised up again as a solid world leader to bring changes in laws and societal thinking that align more with God's heart for the nations; it is wise to follow this lead.  The Lord raises up one nation and lowers another according to His plans and purposes.

Greetings in the Lord, I want to share a story of something that happened this week, as I find it interesting and encouraging as a believer in Jesus Christ.  Earlier this week the Holy Spirit said in my heart about my workplace, "Soon there will be a person to pray for a wicked request, and the demon they serve will demand blood for it.  But the Lord Almighty will not let it happen because it is a wicked request." I assumed that the evil request must be coming from the Wicca witch on staff, and of a serious nature, for the demand for a blood sacrifice after all.  But I no sooner thought that when I discerned that it was actually a demonic enticement--a stumbling block for that person.  You see, this person was raised with Christian values but left the faith sometime in her early adulthood.  Now much later in life she is a practicing witch with all of the accompanying vices one would expect: smears Christians with lies, slander, ridicule, and works to ostracize them, all

Greetings in the Lord~ You know, sometimes the Holy Spirit speaks to me in the most unlikeliest of places...rather, He feels at liberty to step outside the "church" box I try to put Him in, if you know what I mean.  So I get surprised when the Holy Spirit begins to speak His words in a secular situation--I wasn't expecting Him!  Take, for example, many times the Lord has spoken to me through music, TV shows, and even movies--oh,the horror of it all!  We really can't be too religious with God, can we? Anyway, I was watching some Youtube videos of "Britain's Got Talent," or one of those type of shows and was being amazed by the young talent on there. But there was one song and performer that stood out to me, dropped my jaw more like!  It was the performance of a shy, very unassuming teen girl singing "Defying Gravity."  From her pigeon toes to her baby cheeks, Simon was clearly annoyed with her before the music even started.  The look on his

Greetings in the Lord! Today's prophetic word comes from Luke 7, the story about the sinful woman anointing Jesus' feet. When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table.  A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume.  As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears.  Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.   When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is--that she is a sinner."   Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you."  "Tell me, teacher," he said. "Two people owed money to a certain moneylender.  One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other f

Greetings in the Lord! Is anyone else just sick and tired of hearing and reading all of the contempt, lies and mockery coming from Trump's enemies?  I mean, seriously, how much venom can people have?  But then I am quickly reminded that we war not with flesh and blood, but with powers and rulers of darkness--yet our King reigns far higher, "far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in this present age but in the one to come.  And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the Church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way." Ephesians 1:21-23 So it is to Jesus Christ that I make my prayerful appeal: Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.  We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud. Psalm 123:3-4 Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many gene

Greetings in the Lord! Today I am writing you from Japan and in my short time here already, the Lord has been showing me some things that have been going on here in the spirit realm.  First, I took the metro into Tokyo and did some general sightseeing--nothing in particular, just getting the vibe of the city.  When I returned home I started having a vision of a violent man scowling at me--an unclean spirit of violence had followed me.  I rebuked it and threw it out in Jesus' name and prayed that God would be my rearguard, and He threw it out. After dinner I was unnaturally tired, so I went to bed.  During the night the Lord began to tell me about what I had seen earlier and gave me a dream to explain.   I kept hearing in my spirit, "fear aggression" and recognized that immediately from my work with abused pit bulls--it is an aggression based on fear.  People can have the same type of fear.  It comes as a result of being hurt in some way, but also includes hurt from be
