Donald, AKA David

Greetings in the Lord, This Sunday we were discussing parts of 2 Samuel about when David became king over Israel, at long last.  The promise from God came early in his life, when he was just a young teen tending flocks.  But the reality is, it took many years and many, many hardships later before it came to fruition.  I think most Christians forget that.   It seems that they also forget just how much of an outsider he really was--his brothers were jealous of him, King Saul hunted him down with an army to take him out--luckily, to no avail.  He lived with the agitators, and they accepted him, but not many of his fellow Israelites.  Later on, his own sons tried to usurp him, even causing David to flee from the throne to save himself--all the while being mocked and cursed and spit at.  It seems it was one betrayal after another, one hardship after another, one personal test after another, and yet, he became not only king, but one of the pillars of the Old Testament.  That's what Chris

Isaiah 24-27--Lay Waste the Earth and Devastate It

  Greetings in the Lord, Today's word is more of a 'dream in due season', so to speak.  About 20 years ago, sometime in the spring, I had a dream that has since left me a bit shook.  Profound dreams are like that--you grapple with, ponder and re-tell them from time to time quietly, trying to make sense of what you saw in the night vision, always carrying them in the back filing cabinet of your mind.  Just like the meaning of the word "oracle," it is a burden to carry the revelation through to its birth into the natural realm.  But I digress. In the spring of 2003, I had many profound dreams for the United States, most of which were very easy to understand its meaning.  But this dream was different.  I was somewhere in the middle of the land and people from all over were gathering for what seemed to be a parade of sorts.  At first, it seemed like maybe it was a Mardi Gras parade, as everyone was wearing some sort of costume and acting very loud and rambunctious.  H

And the Walls Came Tumbling Down

Greetings in the Lord~ Well, it's been a little more than a month since I've last written and the predicted turbulence of 2023 has begun like the many tornadoes and disasters that keep happening in the U.S.  There doesn't seem to be any rest for the weary, does there?  But then again, Andrew Tate was released from jail and the campaigning of DJT continues to gather momentum despite their many efforts to "lock him up," so there are sunny days to enjoy.  In fact, there is much more to come. Today's prophetic word directs our attention to Nahum 3 and Joshua 6.  Both are stories of pagan stronghold cities being overturned, and that by the hand of God!  Each story is a little different and contributes varying prophetic nuggets for us to enjoy today.  Let's start with the fall of Jericho, found in Joshua 6. In this story, there is no doubting that God gave the Israelites not only their unique war strategy, but the amazing victory as well.  They simply were told
