Set Free From the Trap

Greetings in the Lord~ Today's prophetic word comes from Psalm 79, complete with accompanying dream.  It is a pretty intense psalm that uses very dramatic language to express the desperate cry of the people of God to the Lord for His saving grace and power, and ultimately, to rescue those in great need.  And it is the second psalm of petition and deliverance I've received on behalf of someone in the entertainment industry, for it is that time of year... "O God, pagan nations have conquered Your land, Your special possession.  They have defiled Your holy Temple and made Jerusalem a heap of ruins.  They have left the bodies of Your servants as food for the birds of heaven.  The flesh of Your godly ones has become food for the wild animals....We are mocked by our neighbors, an object of scorn and derision to those around us.  O Lord, how long will You be angry with us?" Pour out Your wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge You--on kingdoms that do not call upon Y

Hunker Down People of God, and Take Refuge in the Lord

  Greetings in the Lord~ This week's prophetic word comes from Amos 3 & 6, and Jeremiah 16, as well as an accompanying dream and visual confirmation--which usually means there is an urgency to the prophetic word.  Let's jump right in. These chapters in Amos pretty much say the same things: God's judgment is coming, mainly in the form of foreign invaders.  The Lord allows the invasion because His people for the most part have become apathetic in their faith, even outright idolatrous and corrupt, in their love of the world and false gods.  In chapter 3, the Lord will even invite other nations to witness the trouble and confirm that God was just in His decision to bring correction to His people.  The judgment is mostly directed at the rich leaders among His people, those that chose to better themselves at the expense of the country, who have summer and winter homes filled with luxurious things gotten by oppressing the poor and common in the land.  They think they are "

A Mighty Hand Will Compel Pharaoh

Greetings in the Lord~ Well, here it is, 2024, and for many it couldn't have come a minute sooner!  I've heard it said several times already--"Good riddance!" to 2023, as people have struggled in many ways over the past year (and longer). In the language of scripture that the Lord uses to enlighten me, He talks about a Pharaoh oppressing His people.  Yes, as in the days of old, the U.S. is like the Israelites in ancient Egypt--slaving away at the behest of a cruel and godless master; Pharaoh thinks he is a god and imposes his agenda on the captives...but a day will come when he will rule the people no more! Yes, a day comes when the Lord says enough is enough. God meets with Moses in the backside of the desert and calls him to lead Israel out of Egypt.  So Moses goes with his brother, Aaron, to Pharaoh to ask that he let the Hebrews go out into the desert for three days to worship their God, God Almighty, but the Lord knows Pharaoh will never let them go unless the mi
