Human Defiance Only Enhances Your Glory, For You Use It as a Weapon

  Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Psalm 76.  This is a psalm that I've come to love over the years as it is usually given when the Lord is going to bring a victory of sorts.  Now, in my experience, the victory usually pertains to a spiritual victory, like a major break in spiritual warfare, where the spirit realm is suddenly peaceful, quiet and calm as spiritual forces of evil flee away completely defeated.  However, today I received a dream to go with this word and it seems to indicate a victory and recovery of things in the natural more than spiritual.  Let's discuss the psalm first. In Psalm 76 the Lord is praised and honored by His people because He has destroyed the "fiery arrows of the enemy", "the shields and swords and weapons of war."   Whatever and however the enemy has been attacking His people are suddenly destroyed by the Lord, and "at the blast of Your breath, O God of Jacob, their horses and chariots lay still." 

The Trial of the People

Greetings in the Lord~ This week the Supreme Court heard the arguments from the lawyers representing the (small group of) Colorado voters that wanted to have Trump removed from the state's ballot in the next election.  While their arguments were much less than convincing, in the bigger picture, the fact that the Supreme Court was even listening to their sophisticated whines has an important spiritual implication, as today's prophetic word comes from Micah 6.  This word has to do with the 'trial of the people,' as they represent just how far down and wide the rebellion against the Lord goes in the U.S. culture.  These folks are on trial with the Lord presiding, and it doesn't go well for them! First off, it is interesting that this passage begins with the Lord calling to the mountains and hills to hear their complaints: "Stand up and state your case against Me.  Let the mountains and hills be called to witness your complaints.  And now, O mountains, listen to th

Last Warning Call Being Blown

Greetings in the Lord~ Well, today's prophetic word comes from Jeremiah 6, and it is one of those that always give prophetic speakers a bad reputation, mainly because it is a word of warning.  But Jeremiah 6 is not just any warning, but it is their last warning.  In this 6th chapter from Jeremiah, we read about an army coming from the north to destroy Jerusalem because of the unrepentant sins of the highest to the common in the land.  They simply do not want to follow God's ways anymore.  But even in this warning of incoming trouble, the people refuse to listen.  They want to go their own way and close their ears to the warnings of the prophets; in fact, they scorn the word of the Lord.  Like Sinatra, they boldly and foolishly sing, "My Way!"  So now, the prophet decrees the fury of the Lord without hesitation or compassion.  He simply calls out all of those in power who could help the country and the people, but who instead lie to them and say, "Peace, peace!&qu
