Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Ezra 3 and it is a mixed prophetic word, as a couple of themes are presented that paint a somewhat bittersweet picture.  First, the Israelites had been exiles in Babylon and elsewhere for quite some time up to this point, and finally saw the defeat of Babylon.  A large group of them headed back to Jerusalem to reclaim their homeland and were given permission by King Cyrus to rebuild the Temple of God.  So, a couple of very big victories at long last!  Ezra 3 begins with the rebuilding and consecrating of the altar, and worship of God according to His commands and festivals resumed, so the people rejoiced.     Then, came the rebuilding of the Temple itself.  King Cyrus had given the decree for it to be rebuilt and even permission for great cedar logs and other materials and craftsmen from Lebanon to assist, so the Temple would be a grand structure once again.  However, as the construction went on, the older generation that remembered th

Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word is from Ezekiel 9, and it truly does not pull any punches.  It is a word of judgment, starting with the leadership of the nation down to the common person, for all their hidden sins of idolatry and corruption.  In chapter 8, Ezekiel had been shown a vision of the leaders of Israel praying to the sun and other foreign gods in secret rooms, and again in the Temple with their backs to the Lord's altar.  He saw also women worshiping the god Tammuz in the north gate of the Temple, and still more out in the portico of the temple worshiping more foreign gods.  All of this is detestable to the Lord, made even worse that it would be done in the Temple by the leaders and common folk alike.  The land was ripe with judgment, for sure! So in chapter 9, Ezekiel is shown 6 angels of God at the altar in the Temple receiving their assignment to carry out destruction upon the people, first starting within the house of God with leadership, then onto the rest of

  Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Daniel 11.  It is one that talks about events that many believe have already taken place - those wars and conflicts centering around the Seleucids of Syria and Ptolemies of Egypt.  These perspective mini-kingdoms arose after the premature death of Alexander the Great, whereby his conquered lands were divided four ways and given to his generals.  Seleucus acquired Syria while Ptolemy got Egypt.  And naturally, as both grew in strength and importance above the other two kingdoms, they looked to square off against each other, seeking to dominate each other as they had so effectively learned under Alexander.   So on one hand, this chapter is a prophetic history lesson for Daniel.  However, midway to the end of the chapter a most vile character, classically named the Antichrist, begins to emerge on the scene and becomes the center of attention through the rest of the book of Daniel.  Historically speaking, there is an actual person that b

  Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from the little book of Obadiah, verse 6 to be exact: "Every nook and cranny of Edom will be searched and looted.  Every treasure will be found and taken."   Hmmm...interesting.  On the heels of an illegal search and seizure of the previous President, this word comes to us today from the Lord.   Whenever I get a word from the book of Obadiah, it reminds me of the dream I had a couple of months before the 2020 election.  It was a dream of corrupt decision-makers gathered together, high up on a rocky cliff side room overlooking the land.  You know, King Herod had a palace in the same location; high up on a rocky mountain, overlooking the valley below.  He thought he was invincible up there, just like the Edomites.  King Herod was a corrupt king, and so are those decision-makers from my dream.  They plotted an evil scheme to steal the election up there, and delighted in putting an old puppet in power so they could control him, to p

Greetings in the Lord~ Last month I visited a town in western Colorado called Palisade.  It is located in a valley out on the desert highlands and is known for its farming of fruit, especially peaches.  I had never visited this town before, or really spent any time in the western part of Colorado at all.  There are few big cities out there, and most of the industry relates to its natural resources and the land itself--farming, mining, drilling, etc.  Overall it's quite beautiful, but since it's far from major urban areas, the population is fairly sparse.  Anyway, I just never had a reason to go out there, but in mid-July I spent a long weekend in Palisade and had a wonderful time.         So why am I writing about this?  Well, as God does, He likes to give dreams and prophetic insight about people, places and events to His people.  And so, the Lord gave me a dream about this little valley in the outer reaches of Colorado.  It was a dream of the history of that area and of the t

Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Ezekiel 12.  It is a passage that tells us Ezekiel was commanded by God to act as though he was going into exile, including eating his food in fear, climbing through a hole in the wall to get out, and carrying away only what he could carry in his hands.  The Lord was making him a sign to the Israelites who were watching him that they were indeed going to be overrun by their enemies and going into exile soon...very soon.  Ezekiel had already told them this was going to happen and they refused to listen to  him, even saying things like: "Time passes, and prophecies come to nothing," and, "He is talking about the distant future; his visions won't come to pass for a long, long time!"   But to those comments the Lord gives His word: "The time has come for every prophecy to be fulfilled!" "There will be no more false visions and flattering predictions in Israel.  For I am the Lord!  If I say it, it will

Greetings in the Lord! In the last post I declared there would be brighter days ahead, for the righteous and all things good, that it!  With ungodly judgments overturned, lies exposed, and the wicked to be held to account for their misdeeds--it will be brighter indeed!  We are in a season of judgment, where God is executing His judgments and His will being done, on earth as it is in Heaven.  Praise God! Having said that, I do wonder one more big item that falls in line with this -- "What about Epstein's List??"  When do we get to see the names of all the guilty clients he got young girls for?  Yes, he was guilty himself, but he had many participating clients.  Surely his blood does not get to pay for the sins of the many, many rich and famous and wickedly arrogant that joined him in the human trafficking!  No, there is only One righteous enough to pay for sins--Jesus Christ. So, when do we get to see this List of famed guilty ones?  When do we get to see the strong hand o

  Greetings in the Lord~ Well, no one was more surprised than me to receive this prophetic word, or words, as the case may be.  Starting on June 9th, I was led to read Hosea 3, then a week later John 8, and then today Ezekiel 37.  Two of the three of those passages deal with an adulterous woman being forgiven/redeemed, and all three deal with the restoration and new beginnings or new life.  Let's start with Hosea 3. At this point in the story, Hosea had already sent his wife away because of her adultery (she was a prostitute to begin with), but out of the blue, the Lord tells Ezekiel to buy back his unfaithful wife and live with her again.  At first they would just be roommates, because he was not to be intimate with her for a period of time.  However, after that prolonged period of time, they would resume their marriage again, only this time, she would be faithful to him.  When the Israelites came to Ezekiel to ask about all his actions, he was to explain that Gomer, his unfaithfu

Greetings in the Lord~ Well, this week there was one particular news headline that grabbed my attention, and into which the Lord also gave me some insight.  That headline was about the Methodist drag queen that is on the road to becoming an ordained pastor in that denomination.  Actually, it was quite shocking to see the headline and picture, which had her in full costume as Ms. Penny Cost.  But what I found more shocking was her "teaching" and poem that had been shared on YouTube.  The poem was filled with profanity and anti-God statements and her false teaching was straight up paganism, although she never revealed directly which god she worships.  The bottom line is--he and his ideas are not Christian.  He is a modern-day Nicolaitan. The Nicolaitans were condemned by the Early Church and in Revelation 2-3 for their teaching on spiritual compromise on worldliness and endorsement of sexual immorality.  In doing research on the originator of this school of thought, Nicolas, it

Greetings in the Lord~ It's been a little while since I've last written, but of course these days, that is not an indication of nothing going on--quite the opposite!  In fact, we've seen the fulfillment and fulfilling of many prophetic words from the past few months---from rising inflation, shortages, exposures of corruption, the leveling of lying media outlets and big tech platforms to the continuing circus of confusion happening in the White House.  Whew!  But as today's prophetic word tells us, you ain't seen nothing yet! Yes, today's prophetic word is from Ezekiel 7 and let me tell you, it is a doozy!  Basically, it decrees that judgment is here, right now upon the land--for this land and its leaders have become so obsessed with riches, that their greed and penchant for violence has finally caught up with them!  A nation that trusts in its prosperity and possessions instead of God is doomed for--watch as all those things we trusted in are taken away!  Inflat

Greetings in the Lord, Recently, the Lord led me to read Psalm 89.  Upon initial read, the psalm is a declaration of the Lord's faithfulness to the promises, covenants even, that He makes.  The Lord will fulfill His word--period.  But then it goes on to talk about the fact that the promise, even the covenant, has not only not been fulfilled, but that those given the promise are being mocked and ruined by their enemies while it seems the Lord does nothing.  The psalmist makes a plea for the Lord to remember His promise and to fulfill it.   In this case, the promise that was made was that David and his descendants would rule forever, and the promise was kept through the coming of Jesus Christ.  Yet, prophetically speaking, the Lord raises up other "David's" to rule on earth as well, those that have a heart for carrying out the will of God on earth.  They are not the Savior Jesus Christ, but still, they live to bring forth the plans and purposes of God as best they can u

Greetings in the Lord~ Today in my prayer time, I received Psalm 83.  That psalm is like so many others, in that, the psalmist is crying out to the Lord for protection from their enemies.  However, this psalm is different in that it specifically talks about an evil alliance being made to come against God's people in a united front--a unanimous decision amongst the several different people groups / nations that poise themselves as enemies of God, to come against His people -- and Israel ultimately, to take their inheritance away from them and have it for themselves.  Well, the rest of Psalm 83 is a petition to God to rise up as in the days of Sisera and Jabin, to scatter this evil alliance, to disgrace them in such a way that it ends up being a testimony to God's Sovereignty. As I prayed about who this psalm was referring to, I was reminded of a blog post I wrote back in May of 2014.  It was regarding a profound vision and prophetic word I had in February, 2014 of Vladimir Putin

Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Isaiah 28 and gives us yet another word about the demise of this current illegitimate U.S. administration.  The word is based on Isaiah 28, which was a prophetic word about the fall of the northern kingdom of Israel, whose capital was Samaria.  These northern leaders were liars and deceivers, using violence and corruption to attain wealth and power.  Also, in their quest to keep their populace from going south to worship in God's Temple in Jerusalem, they built idols in Samaria and ordained false worship.   Needless to say, this created a huge divide within Israel and propelled the northern kingdom far from obeying or revering God's Word.  Such is the divide in the U.S. today--this illegitimate administration pushes an agenda far from the heart of God's Word and seeks only riches and power for themselves.  Unknowingly or in agreement with, they work to advance an antichrist agenda in the U.S.---but to their own demise.  &qu

Greetings in the Lord, Well, this week I received a couple of words from Amos 3-4 and was waiting to hear more, as it talks about even more hard times coming our way.  When I say "our," I mean specific troubles coming to the corrupt illegitimate leaders of the U.S., and their ill-advised and greedy decisions will dump more financial difficulties and shortages and troubles in general onto the people as they tank the economy and make our nation weak and vulnerable to attack.  This will even have a disastrous effect on other nations, as well.   Announce this to the leaders of Philistia and to the great ones of Egypt: "Take your seats now on the hills around Samaria, and witness the chaos and oppression in Israel."  Amos 3:10 Yep, other nations--traditional enemies--will gather to watch (and mock) the "chaos and oppression" going on in the U.S. when this next round of calamities hits the fan.   When the ram's horn blows a warning, shouldn't the people

Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Isaiah 2:5-22 and Exodus 11.  Both of these scripture references are about serious judgments being carried out against those whose rebellion towards God has reached its limits with the Lord -- so disaster is not just decreed, but carried out.  The Almighty has allowed their extreme arrogance, greed, idolatry and sorcery to go on for so long so it would fill the cup of judgment against them -- then His wrath gets poured out. I recall getting Isaiah chapters 2-3 just before Katrina hit New Orleans and the southern coast of the U.S.  Actually, I had received a prophetic word that a great disaster was going to hit the U.S. a few months prior to that as well, but this passage explained why that area of the U.S. was hit -- areas seeped in witchcraft are always prime for disaster.  However, this time I received a dream to help me discern who exactly this word is for, but I'll get to that in a moment. In addition to extreme arrogance and s

Greetings in the Lord~ A few days ago I got the urge to read Psalm 69 and that got my attention.  Psalm 69 is a psalm of a person urgently crying out to God, desperate to get His attention and seeking relief from overwhelming foes and a terribly unjust situation.  As I read it, I discerned it was about what was going on in Canada, and after some research, found out that the leader of the trucker convoy had been arrested the night before.  I prayed that psalm on her behalf, and for anyone else who had been unduly arrested in the fascist crackdown on their freedom and right to protest.  It's sickening and hard to watch, but I also know that by the Lord having me read and pray psalm 69 on their behalves, He means business.  For that psalm petitions the Lord for some serious reprisals to come to the wicked who are unjustly persecuting the righteous.   The psalmist asks the Lord to bring desolation to their homes, and to make their wealth and luxury become a trap and snare for those wic

Greetings in the Lord~ There are some scripture passages that are hard for me to write about, even to understand at times; then, there are passages that just make me nervous to write about.  That's usually because I have already experienced the significance and impact of those verses and it gives me an inkling (a sinking feeling) of what's to come.  (But, if you've read anything from me over the years, you know that I do not shy away from such prophetic words, no matter what.)  Today's prophetic word comes from such a passage. In 2010, I had a vivid dream of a statue of a white horse and rider.   I would have to go back and re-read my journals for more details, but the big picture was that this horse was galloping fiercely and the rider was obviously a warrior of some sort.  The Lord led me to read Revelation 6 for understanding of the dream.  Obviously, my dream meant that there was an 'antichrist' figure (there have been many throughout history) being raised u
