Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Revelation 9, of which I will share verse 20-21: The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and the idols of gold, silver bronze, stone, and wood--idols that cannot see or hear or walk.  Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts. Man, people can be really stubborn.   Revelation 9 is a chapter that tells of all the destruction and hardship--"plagues"-- to come to the earth as a result of unrepentant sin before the coming of Jesus.  Using colorful and vivid imagery, it paints a picture of how spiritual beings and demons will be released to cause these torments, and yet, people will not give up their magic arts, worship of false gods, or sinful lifestyles.  They just go on obstinately believing in lies and deceptions because they want to, that's the bottom line.  They

Greetings in the Lord, This past weekend I spent quite a bit of time enjoying the outdoors, one of our last dog days of summer. While I was enjoying the sun on the beach, I noticed there were several large plants growing in the sand. But upon closer inspection, they were not plants, but just weeds that had grown really tall. For whatever reason my attention was drawn to these weedy plants and I had the urge to pull one out of the sand. It took very little pulling for the whole entire plant, root system and all, to be uprooted from the sand. Then, like a hand bell, I shook the plant and watched as all of the sand that had been trapped in the root system fell freely back to the sand. Within a couple of seconds, the wispy root system was entirely separated from the sand and disposed of, while the sand freely returned to the beach. I pulled a few more weedy plants and found the same result, however, some weeds had vines underground with bulbs, as if they were trying to sprout new pla

Greetings in the Lord, Well, in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, now just a tropical storm, praise the Lord for sparing Florida and the south eastern coast of the US.  And we continue to pray for a speedy rebuilding of Houston and other areas of the Caribbean that are in their clean up after a volatile week in tropical weather, and for their safety as lawless hooligans take advantage of the chaos for personal gain. Today's word comes from Psalm 102.  It is a cry from the psalmist for God's intervention and wisdom in a time when he was being taunted by wicked foes far and wide, from those who would love to see his defeat. "Hear my prayer, Lord; let my cry for help come to You.  Do not hide Your face from me when I am in distress.  Turn our ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly...I forget to eat my food. ...I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins. I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on the roof.  All day long my enemies taunt me; those who rail

Greetings in the Lord, Today's word comes from Psalm 46: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the Earth give way in the mountains fall into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with it surging. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are an uproar, kingdoms fall; He lifts his voice, the earth melts. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolation he has brought on the Earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the Earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear and burns the shields with fire. He says, "Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the Earth." The Lord Almighty is with us, the God of Ja

Greetings in the Lord, In 2003-2006, the Lord had given me many words about all the troubles that would be heading to the United States: natural disasters (Hurricane Katrina), financial disasters (Wall Street 2008), and the coming of a false light (Obama) that would lead many people astray and usher in a time of great spiritual backsliding in the United States.  These, among other things, were foretold by the Lord and had significance beyond their obvious immediate impact and result.  Therefore, it behooves us to scratch beneath the surface and allow the Holy Spirit to explain "Why?"  Foretold events are significant and go beyond natural circumstances.  It is important to leave conventional wisdom and the mystique of science and technology to sit at the feet of the Holy Spirit.  He is the only one who can explain, "Why?" and illumine the Word of God to the deeper layers of meaning encased within. That is where prophesying gets a bit tricky.  We can only know in

Greetings in the Lord, It's not very often that I feel led to put updates on this blog of the prophetic words that get fulfilled, as I simply trust that God will bring them to pass in His timing and in His way.  And I certainly don't feel the need to prove anything to skeptics who doubt Christian prophets or scoff at the omnipotence of God.  The Most High is eternal and His throne is firmly established; though the rebellious shake their fists at Him, His edicts stand forever and His majesty fills the earth.  The Lord is unmovable.  Having said that, I still feel led to give an update from two prophetic words given over the summer. From May and June there were prophetic words published about the Lord brooding over international contracts and agreements made between the US and many different nations, and of the necessity of the parties involved to keep up their end of the agreement.  It was a word of warning to countries that would try to renege on these agreements and make s

Greetings in the Lord, A little over a month ago I received a prophetic word saying that God was really going to enforce and brood over the contracts and agreements made between nations during this year--mainly between the US and many different nations of the world.  It was a word to highlight and encourage several things: 1) for nations to adhere to and be faithful to what they sign the dotted line for; also, it was a warning that those leaders who think they can agree to one thing, but turn around and make secret deals to the contrary--they will suffer hardships and may be removed from office; 2) that sometimes it is in God's will for a nation to submit to the leading and authority of another, in this case, the US is being raised up again as a solid world leader to bring changes in laws and societal thinking that align more with God's heart for the nations; it is wise to follow this lead.  The Lord raises up one nation and lowers another according to His plans and purposes.

Greetings in the Lord, I want to share a story of something that happened this week, as I find it interesting and encouraging as a believer in Jesus Christ.  Earlier this week the Holy Spirit said in my heart about my workplace, "Soon there will be a person to pray for a wicked request, and the demon they serve will demand blood for it.  But the Lord Almighty will not let it happen because it is a wicked request." I assumed that the evil request must be coming from the Wicca witch on staff, and of a serious nature, for the demand for a blood sacrifice after all.  But I no sooner thought that when I discerned that it was actually a demonic enticement--a stumbling block for that person.  You see, this person was raised with Christian values but left the faith sometime in her early adulthood.  Now much later in life she is a practicing witch with all of the accompanying vices one would expect: smears Christians with lies, slander, ridicule, and works to ostracize them, all

Greetings in the Lord~ You know, sometimes the Holy Spirit speaks to me in the most unlikeliest of places...rather, He feels at liberty to step outside the "church" box I try to put Him in, if you know what I mean.  So I get surprised when the Holy Spirit begins to speak His words in a secular situation--I wasn't expecting Him!  Take, for example, many times the Lord has spoken to me through music, TV shows, and even movies--oh,the horror of it all!  We really can't be too religious with God, can we? Anyway, I was watching some Youtube videos of "Britain's Got Talent," or one of those type of shows and was being amazed by the young talent on there. But there was one song and performer that stood out to me, dropped my jaw more like!  It was the performance of a shy, very unassuming teen girl singing "Defying Gravity."  From her pigeon toes to her baby cheeks, Simon was clearly annoyed with her before the music even started.  The look on his

Greetings in the Lord! Today's prophetic word comes from Luke 7, the story about the sinful woman anointing Jesus' feet. When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table.  A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume.  As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears.  Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.   When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is--that she is a sinner."   Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you."  "Tell me, teacher," he said. "Two people owed money to a certain moneylender.  One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other f

Greetings in the Lord! Is anyone else just sick and tired of hearing and reading all of the contempt, lies and mockery coming from Trump's enemies?  I mean, seriously, how much venom can people have?  But then I am quickly reminded that we war not with flesh and blood, but with powers and rulers of darkness--yet our King reigns far higher, "far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in this present age but in the one to come.  And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the Church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way." Ephesians 1:21-23 So it is to Jesus Christ that I make my prayerful appeal: Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.  We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud. Psalm 123:3-4 Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many gene

Greetings in the Lord! Today I am writing you from Japan and in my short time here already, the Lord has been showing me some things that have been going on here in the spirit realm.  First, I took the metro into Tokyo and did some general sightseeing--nothing in particular, just getting the vibe of the city.  When I returned home I started having a vision of a violent man scowling at me--an unclean spirit of violence had followed me.  I rebuked it and threw it out in Jesus' name and prayed that God would be my rearguard, and He threw it out. After dinner I was unnaturally tired, so I went to bed.  During the night the Lord began to tell me about what I had seen earlier and gave me a dream to explain.   I kept hearing in my spirit, "fear aggression" and recognized that immediately from my work with abused pit bulls--it is an aggression based on fear.  People can have the same type of fear.  It comes as a result of being hurt in some way, but also includes hurt from be

Greetings in the Lord! About three weeks ago I turned to Daniel 2--the passage about Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the giant statue.  There were two things that stuck me as I read the story.  First, Nebuchadnezzar used the dream as a test for all of his "wise men"--tell me the dream and its meaning or die.  Nothing like being put to the test!  It seemed that God wanted to sift all of the white noise that was filling the king's ear and show him who was the real deal from among his counselors.  The king's rage at the wise men who said it couldn't be done was a righteous anger--he could see them for the charlatans that they were.    Daniel kept his cool and asked the commander of the king's guard for more time, then he got his praying buddies together to petition the Lord for an answer--and God responded!  The world has been full of such white noise for a long time--man's conventional wisdom will be put to the test and seen as lacking when divine wisdom c

Greetings in the Lord, In light of recent events with North Korea and the United States, I am feeling the need to share the prophetic words the Lord gave me back in 2010, when I was living in South Korea. The first was given on May 23rd, 2010.  The Lord simply said, "It is time for North Korea to fall.  It is time, and it will fall without one shot being fired."     Next, on September 6th, 2010, the Lord gave a word from Psalm 82 and a dream to illustrate.  In Psalm 82, God decrees a word of judgment over unjust rulers, and in this case, it was North Korea's Kim Jong Il.  It was a stern warning for him to execute justice while there was yet time for him to do so. "How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?  Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.  Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." Psalm 82:2-4 In the dream the Lord gave me with this word,

Greetings in the Lord! Well, this post is to get caught up with the prophetic word regarding events in Syria. As you may recall, I have shared several times about the prophetic word the Holy Spirit gave in 2003-2004 regarding Syria from 2 Chronicles 10.  Basically, it is the story of Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, who took power after Solomon passed away.  He did not have the same wisdom or power or favor that Solomon had, and the people were really tired of being overburdened from the king by that point and asked that he make their loads lighter.  Rehoboam consulted with the elders first, who said to do so would win the hearts of the people, then, he went to his buddies who told him to make it even more difficult for the people to show them how strong he was.  This advice appealed to the insecure and prideful nature of Rehoboam and he opted for this.  However, nearly all of Israel left him after that and only the towns in Judah supported him.  So it is with Bashar Al Assad--he is R

Greetings in the Lord! This week I received Isaiah 47 from the Lord.  It is a chapter that prophesies the fall of Babylon.  While we know the original Babylon has long since fallen, and even others point to modern day struggles in Iraq, I discern the Lord is speaking about the spirit of Babylon that has been resting on the United States (and worldwide) in recent history.  Likewise, when Isaiah makes reference to a "she" in the passage, I discern that to also include to a current "Daughter of the Babylonians," Hillary Clinton. "Now then, listen, you wanton creature, lounging in your security and saying to yourself, 'I am, and there is none besides me.  I will never be a widow or suffer the loss of children.'  Both of these will overtake you in a moment, on a single day: loss of children and widowhood.  They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and all of your potent spells.  You have trusted in your wickedness and have

Greetings in the Lord! Well, here it is, 2017, and only 6 days from Trump's inauguration as President of the United States.  However, you feel about that, let me assure you, the will of God came to pass.  God does not guarantee that we will agree with all that HE determines, yet a spirit sensitive and submitted to the leading of the Holy Spirit would have recognized the need for a change in leadership in this country anyway.  We had a leadership that lied to us, took advantage of us, caused serious problems near and far, and did all of this under the cloak of smooth talk and devious deception.  My father would say this was "Chicago politics," but I digress. Anyway, our Heavenly Father has a word for us today that should be of some encouragement.  It is based on the passage in Ezekiel 34.  It is a word that directly addressed the leadership of Israel back in their day.  The Lord chastised severely those in leadership that fed only themselves and took the best of the la
