Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

 Greetings in the Lord~ For the past couple of weeks I've been reading from Amos 3-4, Ezekiel 23 and Zechariah 3.  Some of the things I have been discerning from these scriptures is that a major event -- a form of God's judgment -- is coming down the pike and will have the effect of ushering in God's "reset" plan for this nation.  Now when I say a "major event," it still feels like that is a multifaced thing, in that, one major event with lots of accompanying other instances that don't seem related in the natural but are related to the decree of judgment being executed.  Therefore, I do expect that the pinnacle of this judgment will be a change in leadership, but that the financial and security threats that are happening (at the border and in the economic exploitation of resources, technology, etc. from foreign national companies/people coming to plunder the land) is already at work.   I would also include other types of attacks--cyber, banking, info

Greetings in the Lord! Well, after taking some time for much needed R&R, the Lord now prompts me to get active again and publish this latest prophetic word.  It comes from a book in the Bible that I must admit, I don't read from very often, not sure why.  Honestly, I am more familiar with those little Old Testament books that typically don't get a lot of attention, like Nahum, Habakkuk, Obadiah and Amos.  Anyway, today's word comes from 1 Thessalonians 3. This chapter is part of a letter to the church in Thessalonica, whose members have been undergoing prolonged persecution and hardships for their faith.  Paul is "afraid that the tempter had gotten the best of you and that our work had been useless."   It is a very legitimate concern and one that I'm sure many Christians can relate to currently, as we have had non-stop trials and difficulties and hindrances to our faith and Christian values since 2020.  It can take a toll on someone, and it has it seems, a

  Greetings in the Lord! Well, here it is -- summertime; time goes by so fast.  For a teacher, July usually means a moment to stop and rest and get revived from the school year, and that includes me.  It's good to take a moment and reflect on all that is going on, and for me, to get out my journals and recall the word of the Lord from the past year or so.  It is good to re-read what He has said will come and give thanks as to how it was fulfilled, as we prophesy in part.  Even when the prophetic word is a bit troubling or trying, it is good to give God thanks that He knows the end from the beginning, there are no surprises with Him.  And that no matter how difficultly things may have played out,  His wisdom is perfect and we can trust in Him always.   I've received prophetic words over the past year that more trials would come to Trump and it has.  We watch as our two-tiered justice system keeps trying to point fingers at Trump while all the corruption of the Democrats & Bi

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

  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

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

  Greetings in the Lord, Well, as prophetic speakers do, the first of the year is when they share what the Lord is putting on their hearts for the upcoming year, and I am no different.  Sometimes the word will come in the late fall or at the end of the year.  Sometimes it comes around the Lunar New Year time (Jan-Feb) as it did for me this year.  No telling how the Spirit will move from year to year, but suffice to say He does...and then, you have to deal with what the word is as that can be just as unpredictable. This year's prophetic word is along those lines.  Really, I started to get some rather intense words in December, but wanted to digest it awhile as I wasn't sure how they fit in the big scheme of things yet.  They were words of treachery, people pregnant with evil schemes and planned upheavals and wicked ambitions desiring to burst forth.  Then, there were God's plans to thwart and expose such evilness.  Spiritually and politically speaking, we are in a most tumul

Greetings in the Lord~ Up till now, I almost exclusively share prophetic words and dreams and such on this blog, but today I feel led to share a bit of teaching from Scripture.  It might even be a series of sort.  At any rate, maybe this is a word in due season for someone, but mostly I will share what I have learned from Matthew 19:1-12 and its relevance to the modern Church, and Western culture specifically, on the issue of marriage, divorce and the unfamiliar term of "eunuch," which leads to a better understanding of homosexuality and the Bible.   For starters, the Bible is very direct about the issue of adultery and homosexuality -- both are forbidden practices for God-fearing believers.  But what I like about this passage in Matthew 19, is that it comes at these topics from a different angle and sheds new light in a way that can help bypass the din of conflicting voices and media propaganda that are trying to influence Christians away from what the Bible says.  And, the

Greetings in the Lord, It can be said that, "Forgetfulness of God is the cause of all the wickedness of the wicked."  Some may argue, "But 'he, she, I or they never knew God.'"  Yet it is written that God created us in His own likeness, and that we even can see and recognize God in all of creation, His handiwork.  Romans 1:18-23 and 28-32 explains it this way: "The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.  For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities -- His eternal power and divine nature -- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.  For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkene

  Greetings in the Lord~ It is now after the New Year, but I actually began this word before Christmas.  However, it was a hectic time for me, as I was moving to S. Korea and wanted to be more settled before I wrote.  It has been a long time since I lived in Korea, over a decade, and of course, there have been many interesting changes.  However, before I came over I suspected that there would also be some not so pleasant changes, given that they are closely linked spiritually to the U.S.  And right after I got here, the frigid winds started blowing fiercely here and in the United States.  Yes, the weather was cold, but it was merely manifesting from the spirit realm, as spiritual winds and darkness, antichrist winds, were blowing with a vengeance.  Something was and is up.  In the weeks leading up to Christmas, all the prophetic words I had been receiving were words of judgment for the US leadership and their globalist backers, those who shake their fist at God and propose ideas contra

Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Ezra 3 and it is a mixed prophetic word, as a couple of themes are presented that paint a somewhat bittersweet picture.  First, the Israelites had been exiles in Babylon and elsewhere for quite some time up to this point, and finally saw the defeat of Babylon.  A large group of them headed back to Jerusalem to reclaim their homeland and were given permission by King Cyrus to rebuild the Temple of God.  So, a couple of very big victories at long last!  Ezra 3 begins with the rebuilding and consecrating of the altar, and worship of God according to His commands and festivals resumed, so the people rejoiced.     Then, came the rebuilding of the Temple itself.  King Cyrus had given the decree for it to be rebuilt and even permission for great cedar logs and other materials and craftsmen from Lebanon to assist, so the Temple would be a grand structure once again.  However, as the construction went on, the older generation that remembered th

Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word is from Ezekiel 9, and it truly does not pull any punches.  It is a word of judgment, starting with the leadership of the nation down to the common person, for all their hidden sins of idolatry and corruption.  In chapter 8, Ezekiel had been shown a vision of the leaders of Israel praying to the sun and other foreign gods in secret rooms, and again in the Temple with their backs to the Lord's altar.  He saw also women worshiping the god Tammuz in the north gate of the Temple, and still more out in the portico of the temple worshiping more foreign gods.  All of this is detestable to the Lord, made even worse that it would be done in the Temple by the leaders and common folk alike.  The land was ripe with judgment, for sure! So in chapter 9, Ezekiel is shown 6 angels of God at the altar in the Temple receiving their assignment to carry out destruction upon the people, first starting within the house of God with leadership, then onto the rest of

  Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Daniel 11.  It is one that talks about events that many believe have already taken place - those wars and conflicts centering around the Seleucids of Syria and Ptolemies of Egypt.  These perspective mini-kingdoms arose after the premature death of Alexander the Great, whereby his conquered lands were divided four ways and given to his generals.  Seleucus acquired Syria while Ptolemy got Egypt.  And naturally, as both grew in strength and importance above the other two kingdoms, they looked to square off against each other, seeking to dominate each other as they had so effectively learned under Alexander.   So on one hand, this chapter is a prophetic history lesson for Daniel.  However, midway to the end of the chapter a most vile character, classically named the Antichrist, begins to emerge on the scene and becomes the center of attention through the rest of the book of Daniel.  Historically speaking, there is an actual person that b

  Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from the little book of Obadiah, verse 6 to be exact: "Every nook and cranny of Edom will be searched and looted.  Every treasure will be found and taken."   Hmmm...interesting.  On the heels of an illegal search and seizure of the previous President, this word comes to us today from the Lord.   Whenever I get a word from the book of Obadiah, it reminds me of the dream I had a couple of months before the 2020 election.  It was a dream of corrupt decision-makers gathered together, high up on a rocky cliff side room overlooking the land.  You know, King Herod had a palace in the same location; high up on a rocky mountain, overlooking the valley below.  He thought he was invincible up there, just like the Edomites.  King Herod was a corrupt king, and so are those decision-makers from my dream.  They plotted an evil scheme to steal the election up there, and delighted in putting an old puppet in power so they could control him, to p

Greetings in the Lord~ Last month I visited a town in western Colorado called Palisade.  It is located in a valley out on the desert highlands and is known for its farming of fruit, especially peaches.  I had never visited this town before, or really spent any time in the western part of Colorado at all.  There are few big cities out there, and most of the industry relates to its natural resources and the land itself--farming, mining, drilling, etc.  Overall it's quite beautiful, but since it's far from major urban areas, the population is fairly sparse.  Anyway, I just never had a reason to go out there, but in mid-July I spent a long weekend in Palisade and had a wonderful time.         So why am I writing about this?  Well, as God does, He likes to give dreams and prophetic insight about people, places and events to His people.  And so, the Lord gave me a dream about this little valley in the outer reaches of Colorado.  It was a dream of the history of that area and of the t
