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 Your name.  For they have devoured Your people Israel, making the land a desolate wilderness....Help us, O God of our salvation!  Help us for the glory of Your name.  Save us and forgive us our sins for the honor of Your name.  Why should pagan nations be allowed to scoff, asking, "Where is their God?"  Show us Your vengeance against the nations, for they have spilled the blood of Your servants.  Listen to the moaning of the prisoners.  Demonstrate Your great power by saving those condemned to die.

O Lord, pay back our neighbors seven times for the scorn they have hurled at You.  Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture, will thank You for ever and ever, praising Your greatness from generation to generation.  Psalm 79:1-2, 4-7, 9-13. 

This psalm was probably written after Babylonian forces overran Jerusalem, and could have some bearing to the Oct. 7th attack.  However, the dream that I had before receiving this psalm makes it clear to me that it is about the Hollywood cabal (South Korean & Bollywood industry included) and its occult adherents that prey upon those in the industry to further their own interests.  These pagans make sacrifices, it's as simple as that---but it doesn't mean that some aren't without regret.  That was the angle of the dream I had, at least.  In it, I saw a Johnny Depp type of celebrity, a powerful insider, who was mourning his latest choice---a Winona Ryder type of celebrity and past girlfriend.  

Now, from a very shrewd business perspective, it could be said that at some point a celebrity could be worth more after life than while still living.  Therefore, it is no surprise that that in the months leading up to some celebrities' passing, managers and producers etc. will re-design contracts for them to sign that give ownership of their work over to those handlers in the case of death.  Then, lo and behold, the passing happens and suddenly all their material/songs etc. start to get used in current productions.  

However, sometimes the choice is made just by proximity, as in a family member, current or past love interest, or whoever, and that's when regret can set in.  Then the person who made the selection realizes for a brief time what a monster they have become.  They recall the happy times with that person who has passed and the fondness they had for each other and guilt and sadness bother them for a time.  Whether it will lead to repentance or not remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, their heart will not be the same after that.  

At any rate, today I pray for the second time that the Lord will deliver those person/s to whom this applies to; that His saving power would intervene and rescue His people from the clutches of the wicked, both for those making these choices and for their prey, and that both will come to repentance and choose to follow the Lord while it is in their ability to do so.  God is a wonderful, powerful and loving God; He delights in true heart repentance and will receive all those who receive Jesus Christ into their hearts and lives.  No pit is too deep and no sin is too ugly for the saving grace of Jesus Christ. 

~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."  "

A Tsunami of Truth and Justice

  Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Psalm 31, and there are a couple of visions I will share as well. First, Psalm 31 is one that I don't get very often, probably because most of us don't find ourselves in this type of situation very often, if at all.  It is one in which the psalmist is crying out in deep distress and anguish to the Lord, even feeling like he is wasting away physically and emotionally all because of a great unjust conspiracy against him, a conspiracy so powerful and pervasive that everyone is running away from him, so it seems to the psalmist.  It is a lament of helplessness and abandonment that arises from the extreme wickedness of his foes, and distancing of those who were allies but now have retreated in self-preservation mode.  So while in immense distress, the psalmist resigns himself, even his very fate, to God alone and puts all his trust in the Lord to save him.  Complete surrender, like fasting and repentance, is a sure way to get God&

Confession is Good for the Soul

Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Jeremiah 11, which carries a pretty powerful and poignant punch to the gut of those who love and know the Lord, for it is a message of, "This is the last straw."   Jeremiah was told to preach to the people of Israel and Judah: "Remind the people of Judah and Jerusalem about the terms of My covenant with them.  Say to them, 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: Cursed is anyone who does not obey the terms of My covenant!  For I said to your ancestors when I brought them out of the iron-smelting furnace of Egypt, "If you obey Me and do whatever I command you, then you will be My people, and I will be your God."  I said this so I could keep My promise to your ancestors to give you a land flowing with milk and honey---the land you live in today."  Jeremiah 11:2- 5 However, the majority of the people of Israel and Judah at that time were not faithful to God, for they worshiped Baal and other false

A Deep Work Being Done

Greetings in the Lord~ Today the Holy Spirit spoke to me while I was on the treadmill watching the news.  President Trump walked across the screen and gave a half wave and somber nod to the crowd.  Obviously, he's seen better days.  The Holy Spirit said, "Psalm 123;" I recognized this one from my own tough times... I lift my eyes to You, O God, enthroned in heaven.   We keep looking to the Lord our God for His mercy, just as servants keep their eyes on their master, as a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy, for we have had our fill of contempt. We have had more than our fill of the scoffing of the proud and the contempt of the arrogant. Yes, indeed; this psalm says so much, like the long sigh of a person when words fail them.  The Holy Spirit continued, "He is a broken man; I am doing a deep work in him and it is very painful now.  But he will not be removed from office, and every accusation against hi

Unshakable Lord, Have Your Way

Greetings in the Lord~ Today in prayer the Lord put on my heart that it would be a little while before I get a word for 2021, but He did show me a vision of a large scale.  So it appears that things are hanging in a balance, and we know politically speaking for the U.S., things are hanging in a balance (even though Biden supporters have jumped the gun to declare him president).  Nothing official is slated to happen until January 6th, when electoral votes are to be counted by Vice President Pence, and realistically, it may not even be decided that day because we know already there will be objections to the current electoral votes from contested states because of rampant fraud in their elections.  As a result of planned objections, alternate electoral votes have already been submitted, which means that Congress will have to break separately for 2 hours to discuss their objections and decide on which set of electoral votes will be counted.  Constitutionally, if there is no agreement, then

Battlements of Rubies, Gates of Sparkling Jewels

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word is from Isaiah 54:1-17. I will highlight selected verses: V. 2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. V. 3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. V. 10 Though mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the Lord, who has compassion on you. V. 11 "O afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted, I will build you with stones of turquoise, your foundations with sapphires. V. 14 In righteousness you will be established; Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. V. 15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you. V. 16 "See, it is I w

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
