Goliaths Will Fall

Greetings in the Lord!

Today's word comes from some familiar stories, one from the book of Daniel, two passages from Matthew, and the last story from 1 Samuel 17. Each of these stories talks about things that will be happening in this next season.  So, even though it will be a bit turbulent, we can still be excited about what God has in store for us.

The first story from Daniel 2 talks about Daniel being able to know and interpret King Nebuchadnezzar's dream. The story goes that King Nebuchadnezzar had disturbing dreams in his sleep and woke up so perturbed that he demanded his wise men not only interpret his dreams, but to tell him the dreams that he had or be killed!  Naturally, only Daniel could do this after praying to God Almighty. Well get ready people of God, the Holy Spirit is putting on my heart that He wants to work through his people in this next season in much the same way.  To put them in situations where only they will have the answer, and that by God's counsel. The Lord wants to elevate His people, to put them head and shoulders above the rest as a sign of distinction and blessedness, all for the glory of God. Even Daniel was quick say he was no wiser than anyone else, but that he served a God who knows all things and can do all things, our Maker.

The next story everyone knows very well, it is about David and Goliath. Get ready to see some Goliaths fall in this next season as very unassuming, "out-matched" David's are now being raised up and put into place to take them down. This can be in the media, in politics, in business, wherever-- and all done publically, to be seen by all. It's not a good time to be on Goliath's team, let me just say. I will also add, that at times it may be hard to know who is on whose is team! That leads me to the last passage of scripture from Matthew 26:6-16.

In this passage we have two contrasting extremes: Mary anointing Jesus' head with very expensive perfume illustrating her devotion to the Lord, while Judas goes to the high priest to get money to betray him. Both of these two people were "followers" of Jesus, but their actions showed whose team they were really on! Turbulent times are good for that as well-- it can reveal what people are really made of, and who your true friends are.

Anyway, I'm very excited about the roller coaster ride coming up, as I've always been a big fan of roller coasters anyway, and I'm getting even more excited to see how this prophetic word plays out both at home and abroad.

~Be blessed a be a blessing.

Joel 2: Locusts Swarm and Devour the Land

  Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Joel 2, and is accompanied by a dream.  Let me first share about the passage from scripture.  In this passage, we read about the Lord directing an 'army' of locusts to come to devour and plunder the land as a form of judgment.  Interestingly, devouring locusts were one of the plagues that happened in Egypt long ago as a form of judgment to compel Pharaoh to let the Israelites leave their country--freeing them of their slavery.  Here, however, the plague of locusts come as a form of judgment upon His people for their persistent sin and stubborn rebellion against God.   "Ahead of them (locusts) the land lies as beautiful as the Garden of Eden.  Behind them is nothing but desolation, not one thing escapes....Look at them as they leap along the mountaintops.  Listen to the noise they make--like the rumbling of chariots, like the roar of fire sweeping across a field of stubble, or like an army moving into battle."  "

I Have Faith

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word is from 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2: "Finally, brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith." Have you ever had a conversation with a non-believer and they say, "I have faith, just not in God," or something along those lines. I am surprised at how often I have heard that! Actually, the definition of faith also includes the characteristics of trust and loyalty, so faith is more like a relationship between beings rather than a trust in a belief system, laws of nature, or inanimate objects. So, what they mean to say is that they have put their trust in something or many things other than God. These misplaced trusts are what they rely on instead of the Lord. The Bible refers to those misplaced trusts as "strongholds," similar to fortresses. Now you can see the big difference b

Righteousness and Justice Your Foundation

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Isaiah 41:14-29, of which I will share selected verses: "Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I Myself will help you," declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. "See, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff. You will winnow them, the wind will pick them up, and a gale will blow them away. But you will rejoice in the Lord and glory in the Holy One of Israel." "The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thrist. But I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will make rivers flow on barren heights...I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia,....so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created i

My Brother Ishmael

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Genesis 16:9-12 and Genesis 21:14-20~ And he said, "Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?"  "I'm running away from my mistress Sarai," she answered. Then the angel of the Lord told Hagar, "Go back to your mistress and submit to her." The angel added, "I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count." The angel of the Lord also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers." Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the

Strong Hand of the Lord Moving Now

Greetings in the Lord~ Well, there are certainly a lot of prophetic words being fulfilled right now.  First the more difficult word from February about "natural disasters" and other difficult incidents coming to pass--we've had a month of tornadoes, flooding, avalanches, bomb cyclones, blizzards, major financial drops on global stock markets and 2 incidents of hAte ideology acting out in Amsterdam and New Zealand.  Whew!  As if that isn't enough, if I include other sources where I post prophetic words, there has been a fulfillment of a word from July 2018 about the MeToo Movement hitting the "boy" and "girl" pop band music industry of Asia (Korea-K POP and Japan-J POP) and also a word of victory from Psalm 98:1 in that, there was no collusion found between Russia and President Trump.  Any sane person already knew that, but the liberal media had been lying endlessly about it for two years so we can all celebrate with President Trump that the chara

Beware of Karen and the Nicolaitans

Greetings in the Lord~ Last week the Methodists as a denomination met at their General Conference in Charlotte, NC to discuss and vote on many matters, including the controversial topic of allowing actively practicing homosexual persons to be ordained as pastors.  The vote was pretty overwhelmingly in support of that issue. Not only that, but they decided that gay marriages can be performed by such clergy in Methodist churches that are agreeable to this taking place in their church.   Needless to say, this approval goes far beyond finding common ground and unity within the denomination, as it basically endorses a tenet that is not compatible with Scripture.  But maybe more importantly, it is a beginning of fulfillment of prophetic End Time warnings given all throughout the New Testament.   These warnings can be found most directly in the 2nd chapter of the book of Revelation in reference to the sect of the Nicolaitans.  These Nicolaitan "Christians" taught that it was OK to c

Europe Awaken Yourselves

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from 1 Peter 4:12-19~ "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgement to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of G
