Unshakable Lord, Have Your Way

Greetings in the Lord~

Today in prayer the Lord put on my heart that it would be a little while before I get a word for 2021, but He did show me a vision of a large scale.  So it appears that things are hanging in a balance, and we know politically speaking for the U.S., things are hanging in a balance (even though Biden supporters have jumped the gun to declare him president).  Nothing official is slated to happen until January 6th, when electoral votes are to be counted by Vice President Pence, and realistically, it may not even be decided that day because we know already there will be objections to the current electoral votes from contested states because of rampant fraud in their elections.  As a result of planned objections, alternate electoral votes have already been submitted, which means that Congress will have to break separately for 2 hours to discuss their objections and decide on which set of electoral votes will be counted.  Constitutionally, if there is no agreement, then the House of Representatives will vote to decide the next president--with each state getting one vote each and Pence the deciding vote if there is a tie.  Whew!  That will be a wild ride if all that happens, and yes, I would say to prepare for a wild ride indeed.  I've said many times that things are going to get bumpy, but for several reasons, and that takes me back to the vision of the scale.

Did you know that when you think you've gotten away with something, you most surely haven't? -- when it comes to the Lord.  He knows all; He weighs our heart, our motives, and our actions and He does issue judgments accordingly.

Amos 6 talks about unjust, greedy and unscrupulous leaders laying around and enjoying the best of the land while they care nothing for the demise of their nation -- and even their part in that demise.  "And you brag about your conquest of Lo-debar.  You boast, 'Didn't we take Karnaim by our own strength?'" Amos 6:13  It is the same as those who helped to steal the election bragging about it: "Print fake ballots, use rigged voting machines, pay off local election officials and presto!  Get your guy into office!"  But at what cost?  The loss of voter confidence and trust in fair and free elections destroys the very fabric of a democracy.

"But that's how foolish you are when you turn justice into poison and the sweet fruit of righteousness into bitterness."  Amos 6:12

These idiots think they can just lie, cheat and steal and get away with it, but that's not so.  To lose a country's trust, to trample honesty and integrity is no small thing.  I've already published prophetic words about specific judgments being meted out, but in general, to be complicit in all of this adds your name to the list.  Funny part is, sometimes people don't even recognize when they're living under judgments!  They just go on complaining, spewing negativity while their lives get more and more difficult.  That is what Isaiah 8-10 is referring to: people living in great darkness.  Some people will see a great light, accept it, and be filled with that light, and others will not see or accept it and continue to stumble along in darkness.  That's what it is like to live in a country where truth and justice are perverted; where those who have the means and power to take advantage of people do it because they can.  These same places censor free speech, demand bribes for favorable court verdicts -- which are held behind closed doors and away from public scrutiny, and elevate "honor" above truth, fairness or even life itself.  To turn justice into poison and righteousness into bitterness acts a curse unto itself, and obviously, these places are under a curse.  But the Lord sees and hears the cry of the needy!

Psalm 33 encourages and reminds us that God's word is dependable; He is our Creator, Deliverer, and Lord of all, faithful to bring about all that He has purposed and spoken.

"The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes.  But the Lord's plans stand forever; His intentions can never be shaken." Psalm 33:10-11

So it is a reason to rejoice and trust and put your hope in Him.  Psalm 33 also tells us that God knows, examines and weighs our hearts; He sees all of our deeds and hears the words we speak.  There is no earthly power or strength to match the saving power of the Lord, and those who think they can outwit the Lord are sadly mistaken.  When I was living in Syria, the Lord gave me many words of hope and deliverance and victory to people who were suffering from unjust rulings and perverted cultural expectations; they suffered under those who lorded power over them, but the promise of the Lord is sure!  It is like silver refined seven times -- take it to the bank!  It was amazing how often the Lord miraculously intervened in these people's affairs, righting wrongs and raising up righteous decrees in the midst of lies, evil and wicked cruelty.  Their oppressors would slink away defeated and shamed, not repentant, but disgraced nonetheless.  So I can testify that when the Lord has decreed justice, He is well able to bring it to pass, no matter where in the world and no matter who is doing the oppressing.  The Lord's plans and purposes do stand forever and cannot be shaken.

~Be blessed and 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

Wedding Clothes

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Matthew 22:1-14, of which I will share selected verses: "Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come....Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.' So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 'Friend,' he asked, 'how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' The man was speechless. Then the king told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and foot, and throw him out

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
