Let the Showdown Begin

Greetings in the Lord,

The day after the inauguration day of illegitimate president Biden, the Lord led me to read Exodus 7.  In this chapter, we read that Aaron was to be the spokesperson or "prophet" for Moses, and his first order of business was to demand that the Israelites leave Egypt.  Pharaoh then asks for a sign and Aaron was to throw down his staff and it would become a serpent.  Well, Pharaoh wasn't much impressed after he called in his own team of magicians to come and they could do the same.  However, the chapter goes on to say that Aaron's snake swallowed up the snakes of the magicians.  To me, that is the prophetic message of the whole Exodus from Egypt: Pharaoh and his armies would be swallowed up for their unrepentant rebellion towards God.  You know, sometimes it comes to that.  Some people have become so arrogant and evil that they will stop at nothing; they continue to lie, hurt and oppress others and only the hand of God will stop them.  But even then, the Lord uses their obstinance to bring Him glory: 

"But I will make Pharaoh's heart stubborn so I can multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.  Even then, Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you.  So I will bring down My fist on Egypt.  Then I will rescue My forces--My people, the Israelites--from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment.  When I raise My powerful hand and bring out the Israelites, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord." Exodus 7:3-5.

We are hearing quite a bit from prophetic speakers these days about 2021 being a year full of the Lord doing miraculous signs and of great warring, kind of akin to the Red Sea days.  I concur, and how exciting!  But realize, that it has come to this because of the exceedingly great wickedness of worldly leadership and of the many prayerful petitions to the Lord for justice.  

The Lord will wash the filth from beautiful Zion and cleanse Jerusalem of its bloodstains with the hot breath of fiery judgment. Isaiah 4:4

When the Israelites escaped from Egypt---when the family of Jacob left that foreign land---the land of Judah became God's sanctuary, and Israel His kingdom.  The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way!  The water of the Jordan River turned away...What's wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way?  What happened Jordan River that you turned away?...Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.  He turned the rock into a pool of water, yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock.  Psalm 114

Why are the nations so angry?  Why do they waste their time with futile plans?  The kings of the earth prepare for battle, the rulers plot together against the Lord and against His anointed one....But the One who rules in heaven laughs.  The Lord scoffs at them.  Then in anger He rebukes them, terrifying them with His fierce fury....Now then, you kings, act wisely!  Be warned, you rulers of the earth!  Serve the Lord with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling.  Submit to God's royal son, or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities...But what joy for all who take refuge in Him! Psalm 2

There have been at least three times in the past month or so where I've started to pray or read the Bible and immediately I saw a clashing of swords in my spirit.  It almost looks like flashes of lightning, but I see short bursts of clashing metal and I know there is warring taking place in the heavenlies.  And over the years, I've seen these same types of manifestations in the natural all when great spiritual conflict is present---hailstorms that appear out of nowhere, great fires being put out by a simple prayer, and yes, lightning appearing three times in the middle of my bedroom!  Indeed, we are in for a warring year, full of the miraculous signs of the Lord showing us and His enemies His glory!  

For those who like signs and wonders, pull up a chair and watch the glory of the Lord reveal Himself.  I discern that we will see this not only in the governmental arena, but also a "sifting" and separating to happen in business, media and tech industries.  Good fruit will be separated from bad fruit and it will be important to support good fruit.  On a local level, the sociopolitical ideology of anarchy will rear its head more fiercely and the hot spots of Portland and Oregon will catch other cities in the US on fire; but watch too, how spiritual revival springs forth in the midst of persecution.  Lastly, I discern a rise of a third group stemming from illegal immigration to the south to hit the scene in a negative way.  Texas and Arizona seem to bear the brunt of their attacks, but New Jersey also seems like a hot spot.  I will continue to pray into this and see what more if any the Lord talks about that.  Anyway, we are definitely in for another tumultuous year, but hold your peace!  Jesus Christ is still on the throne and cleansing fires, signs and wonders must happen.  

Also, keep in mind, that in Deuteronomy 27-28, signs and wonders are seen both in the positive and negative forms as blessings and curses.  For example, the ten plagues in Egypt were signs and wonders, as was the parting of the Red Sea for the Israelites to cross over.  Therefore, to understand and rightly discern events, one must see it from a heavenly perspective and not from our own.  At any rate, 2021 will be full of battles and those waiting upon the Lord will be renewed and restored and yes, set free!  Victory comes by the blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ and by the word of our testimony.

~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
