A Lament and Funeral Song

 Greetings in the Lord~

Well, I wish I had a more positive prophetic word to give, but alas, I can only share what the Lord gives me to share.  Today's word comes from Ezekiel 19, and like I just said, it is not the most pleasant to read, for chapter 19 is a funeral song for the end of Israel's leader, and more importantly, a lament for the suspension of a covenant made by God with His people.  Now, before you run away with that and think God is done with the United States, that is not the case!  No, for this funeral song is a lament for what it has become and the measures needed now to uproot the wickedness in leadership all throughout the land.  It is another word decreeing judgment on this current illegitimate administration and for Biden specifically.  And why is judgment being decreed for leadership?  Mainly, because they brought it on themselves with all their greedy, deceptive and violent ways.  They sought to attain "power" through corrupt means, making laws that benefit only themselves, lie continuously and deny justice whenever and wherever it is deserved.  These behaviors have become so audacious and despicable in God's eyes that they have incurred His wrath.    

It begins in Ezekiel 19:1 referring to the "princes" of Israel.  Well, this title alone is very telling, as God does not even refer to them as "kings"; that is, He does not recognize their legitimacy as rulers and it expresses His rejection of them in those positions.  Historically, it was only by God's covenant that a person from the line of David would rule anyway, and here we see God suspending His covenant by issuing judgment against those rulers and by bringing the autonomous state of Israel to an end by the invasion of Babylon.  That event is a cause for a lament for sure!  But even for us today, we must acknowledge that no one is put in a leadership position unless God allows it to happen, even if it was by illegitimate means.  In our case, I believe it was to reveal the depth of depravity of this administration and decision-makers of other industries and to give us a glimpse of the wickedness that would come by following the evil ideas and agendas they propagate.  And likewise, from Israel's history, there is more evil to come, in that, there was the rise of the evil Queen Athaliah in Jerusalem, the daughter of Jezebel, who stole the throne by murdering her grandchildren, the rightful heirs to the throne.  For not only has this administration come to power by cheating in the national election, but when Biden is gone, a vengeful female lies waiting in the wings to swoop in and push an even more radical (antichrist) agenda.  At least, that was gist of the prophetic word I gave back in the summer of 2018.  And as it appears now, that could very well be a reality unless the hand of God intervenes.  

So today, we can truly begin to understand the lament given in Ezekiel 19, a funeral song for the end of righteous rule, and we can begin to pray and call on God Almighty to intervene in our serious and unfortunate circumstances in the U.S.  The world will rejoice with us when God moves to avenge the injustices done in our land, but until then, there are storms and harsh persecutions and judgements to endure that will uproot the fruit of ungodliness that is so prevalent in our land now.  That is what Ezekiel 19:14 talks about:  "A fire has burst out from its branches and devoured its fruit.  Its remaining limbs are not strong enough to be a ruler's scepter."  The "fire" is from within, or, as a result of their own corrupt doings.  In other words, they will destroy all the "fruit" by their own hands, their own actions and greed, and become so weak that they will no longer have power to rule.  That's basically what happened to Queen Athaliah anyway, she was cut down and removed after a period of time and the proper heir was put on the throne...and the people rejoiced!

~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

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
