Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord! As many of you may know, I live abroad teaching English and this week my classes will be discussing the language for various weather conditions and natural weather phenomenon . So it was curious that in the middle of preparing lesson plans the Lord drew my attention to Matthew 16:1-3: The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times." Hmm ...that's certainly food for thought given the current world events. It seems to me that this prophetic word is saying that there must be people not seeing the signs of the times that are happening around the world at the moment. Or maybe, and more specifically, there may be some

Greetings in the Lord! About three times in the past week the Lord has given me yet more passages of Scripture talking about the rise of Babylon these days and of them subduing countries. Two such passages were from 2 Chronicles 36 and 2 Kings 24. Both of those accounts tell of Babylon overrunning Judah and of the final days of Judah's kings, the destruction of the temple, and exile to Babylon. And while I understood the stories I was still yet unclear about the spiritual significance of this word and what exactly the Lord is talking about. But alas, the Lord speaks again the same word--the season is now for the rise of Babylon (United States) in the world--so I will continue to tell it as He gives it. Today's word is from the book of Habakkuk , chapters 1 & 2, and sheds more light on the word at hand: "Look at the nations and watch--and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told." "I AM r

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Jeremiah 27. It is an interesting chapter because Jeremiah gives the word not only to Judah, but also to all the kings of Edom , Moab , Ammon , Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys that had come to Jerusalem to visit King Zedekiah. ...This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "Tell this to your masters: 'With My great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its people and the animals that are on it, and I give it to anyone I please. Now I will hand all your countries over to My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; I will make even the wild animals subject to him. All nations will serve him...until the time for his land comes; then many nations and great kings will subjugate him." "'If, however, any nation or kingdom will not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon or bow its neck under his yoke, I will punish that nation with the sword, famine and plague, declares the Lord, until I destroy i

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word actually was given February 22nd, and then a week or so later, and now I really feel a prompting to share it here. It is from Isaiah 65:13-19) Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: "My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame. My servants will sing out of the joy of their hearts, but you will cry out from anguish of heart and wail in brokenness of spirit." "You will leave your name to My chosen ones as a curse; the Sovereign Lord will put you to death, but to His servants He will give another name. Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth. For the past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from My eyes." Also, Isaiah 32:5-8) "No longer will the fool be called noble nor the scoundrel be highly respected. For the fool speaks folly, his mind is busy with evil: He practices un

Greetings in the Lord! Well, I have a bit of an update to share, one I didn't even know to watch or that it was happening, and I'm sure most of you won't remember this word either. But nevertheless, I like to share such things because it's important to acknowledge when God fulfills His word--it's a testimony--and also its a good reminder for us that although we don't get to see His seed growing in people's hearts, it is. I find that very encouraging. Take, for example, a blog I wrote way back in January of 2010 about a woman I vaguely knew anything about, British comic Jennifer Saunders (and her comedic partner, Dawn French). When the Lord put her on my heart from out of the blue in October of 2009, I had to do some research about her on the Internet . I had never heard of her comedy series "French and Saunders" or most of the other projects she had done over the years, except for her TV series "Absolutely Fabulous." And while I found th

Greetings in the Lord! Wow--I can hardly believe how much time has gone by since I've written last! Happy 2011! We just celebrated the Lunar New Year in South Korea and I finally have a minute to share the words the Lord has been putting on my heart. The brief hiatus was more than eventful for me, I must say, as it included the passing of my mother in December, plus all the usual bustling of the holidays and international travel, then a race to the finish of my teaching contract in January. Whew! So, in chronological order I'll start with the passing of my mother, which as it turned out, had the gentle and loving hand of God on it from start to finish. In March of 2010 the Lord told me that it was time for my mother to come home to Him, and "to proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed." Well, that's a difficult word to share, so I waited on that one. But around August the Lord again prompted my heart to tell her again and to invite
