Word for 2016

Greetings in the Lord! Well it's almost Christmas, joy to the world!  I enjoy the holidays and this year was no exception.  I truly am thankful to God for all His blessings in 2015, even as challenging as it was at times.  But this past year, in those trying times, I felt a breakthrough.  Yes, a deeper reliance on God and comfort in the storm that I had not felt before.  Praise God for that!  I imagine that many of you can relate to what I am saying: the winds haven't really dissipated much, but there is a sort of calm knowing to it all--that our God is indeed in control. 2016 will be much more of the same that we saw in 2015, I'm sorry to say.  Yet, for the righteous who have been spending time with their God, the rocking of the boat isn't quite as unsettling as it used to be.  People may criticize and say we are just becoming numb to the world's often chaotic and violent events, but I beg to differ,  I discern by the Holy Spirit that the people of God are inde

Swarms will come--take shelter in the Lord

Greetings in the Lord! This week I've had several dreams of significance, but will share with you the one from this morning and the passage of Scripture the Lord gave to help discern its meaning. In my dream, I was visiting a house situated on top of large, rolling hills.  The hills were quite large and it was surrounded by wonderful fields of mountain grass--just like in the Sound of Music (Europe).  However, in the vicinity of this house was beautiful, thick Kentucky blue grass--obviously, the owners of the house had planted their own stock of grass and took good care of it. At the next part of the dream I went outside and saw off in the distance a caravan of cars tearing up and down the rolling hillsides.  They were making quite a ruckus and intentionally not caring about whose lawns or fields they were destroying.  There was a giant red truck carrying many men and one silver Cherokee type of vehicle with more men in it; the other cars were regular passenger cars.  However

Bulls of Bashan

Greetings in the Lord, On Monday I awoke from a troubling dream.  In the dream I was in a house that was familiar to me, but it was filled with large animals, even the cats were enormous in size.  But the animal that caught my attention was a big, grey bull.  Its face was distorted and ugly, almost looking like a cross between a hippopotamus and bull, but the body was definitely that of a bull.  Unlike a regular bull, this one had little hair and its skin was a dead grey color.  "Strong death" is what I thought.  But instead of being afraid of this mutant animal the people in the house were stroking its face and saying how much they adored it.  Ugh!  They loved dearly this abnormal creature and were so happy to have it in the house. When I awoke from this dream I discerned that this bull-creature was some sort of idol, a flesh covered demon?  I searched out some resources but wasn't satisfied that I had the full meaning yet.  Then, a couple days later I had another d

Wakey, Wakey, It's Time to Pray

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from John 16:1-3: "All this I have told you so that you will not go astray.  They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.  They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me." Jesus was giving his disciples warnings about the coming days, but it is the same for many Christians nowadays.  Persecution and outright violence towards Christians is happening worldwide at an alarming rate.  Even here in the United States there is growing contention and animosity towards God and His people at every turn--against our religious holidays, celebrations, and gatherings; even the secular media tries to taint godly viewpoints and opinions as if they were extreme and intolerant.  Kind of the pot calling the kettle black, if you ask me.  And where are Christians in all of this?  Mostly asleep at the wheel, it seems.  In fact, anothe

Uncircumcised in Heart

Greetings in the Lord! Back in January while in prayer, the Lord showed me a vision of flames coming up from Mexico and all along the Southwest border of the United States.  This fire raged and burned hotly all across Arizona and began to glow hot with the heat of hatred.  The people were the bright embers and all who got involved got consumed with its rhetoric.  What were these fires, you ask?  The same fires that lit up in Europe over the prophet Muhammad cartoons.  At that time the Lord said, "May 26th," and I pondered the date in my heart.  It was Tuesday, what happened on Tuesday?  Was something approved and agreed to that confirmed the trouble to come?  Probably....but it's always hard to know those answers.  Instead we can know for sure that today is a sad day for Arizona--another prophet Muhammad cartoon expose is about to happen, and this outside of a mosque, no less.  On the surface it seems like the bold taking the bull by the horns, but I tell you today

Go to the Inner Rooms and Pray Until Disaster has Swept By

Greetings in the Lord~ Over the past couple of weeks I've received warnings from the Lord to pray that "watchmen would return to their post," meaning, those prayerful believers whose role it is to pray and see danger before it comes and release an alarm to the Body of Christ.  Specifically, I felt led to pray for the Western Coast of America and as I prayed for God's protection to our border and for watchmen to see the danger coming, I had a vision.  In this vision, it was the dark of night and from the black waves below I saw a lighthouse on a jagged shoreline shining a beam of light over the waters to warn ships, and search out activity in the darkness below.  There were men--invaders, silently approaching the land, trying carefully to enter the shoreline unseen.  I felt that it was the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Portland/Seattle areas and that these invaders had taken the northern route from Russia to get here, although I'm doubtful they were

Dying Great Snake

Greetings in the Lord~ It's been awhile since I've written but as usual, that is not an indication of inactivity.  Quite the opposite; God is moving in a powerful way these days and there have been some major fulfillment of His words that need to be celebrated. First of all, in March 18th, 2014 I posted a word from the Lord that specifically denounced the rhetoric and recruiting propaganda of Islamic jihadists.  The Lord was very clear in His verdict: "Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction.  Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit." "You are not a God that takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.  The arrogant cannot stand in your Presence; You hate all who do wrong.  You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the Lord abhors."  Psalm 5:4-9. Well, naturally, this word did not go over too good with the jihadist community who responded in m

Word about Religious "Freedom"

Greetings in the Lord! Just over a year ago (March 13, 2014) I posted a word that has recently been in the news....religious "freedoms" being the conduit for Sharia Law to take root in our nation.  Check out a portion of this word here. ____________ "What current propaganda are we to resist and be vigilant against?" Well, for the US and most of the Western world, our evil propaganda comes through media outlets, whether that be TV, movies, music, newspapers, or magazines.  That makes Hollywood the right hand man of the White House.  And, we know that propaganda is very effective on the youth first, so look at "kid's" movies, TV shows, cartoons, and games to see what messages are being sold to the kids.  Obviously, these days there are way too many examples of media trying to mainstream homosexuality.  What's next--pedophilia?  Once you go down this road you open a huge can of worms. Another major theme is the downplaying of marijuana's n

Sons of Promise

Greetings in the Lord! Well, it's been a little while since my last post, but luckily February is a short month so it hasn't been that long.  Anyway, I will share a dream and word I received this morning. In my dream, I was telling a group of students that " Syria's hospitality is their saving grace ."  (It's true, too, their hospitality toward foreigners when I was there in 2004 was like none I witnessed and experienced anywhere in the world.  And it didn't matter the age or gender of the Syrian I came across either, their first words to me were always the same, "Welcome!") As we were discussing this and sharing how our countries compared, the dream slowly faded and I was now at my home.  It was late at night and for some reason I went to the front door to see something outside, was there someone at my door at this hour?  Opening the door and peering out, there was only the black night before me, with howling, chilled winds twisting the

Jonahs Arise and Speak God's Words

Greetings in the Lord! For the past two days I've been led to read from the book of Jonah chapter 1.  In this passage the prophet has been given a mandate to go to Nineveh to preach against it, to tell them of God's coming wrath to them for their wickedness and idolatry...but the prophet flees on a boat in the opposite direction.  Well, try as he might, he cannot outrun God.  The Lord allows a storm to hit the waters he is sailing on to help change his mind, to get him back on the call for his life. "But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep.  The captain went to him and said, "How can you sleep?  Get up and call on your god!  Maybe  he will take notice of us, and we will not perish." That is the word for today--"Get up from your slumber!  Do the work God has called you to do.  It's time to face the music," says the Lord. You know, people of the world, secularists, sometimes are a lot more astute and shrewd

Sun of Righteousness

Greetings in the Lord! Over the holiday season I spent some blessed time in California, not far from Laguna Beach area.  During this time the Lord showed me some wonderful things, altogether different from what I saw at the end of November in a very similar vision.  At that time, I saw storm clouds coming off the coast of California, tornadoes over the sea and yes, it was a short time after that southern California experienced those weather phenomenon.  But that's not the end of the story. At the end of December I saw another vision off of the coast of California, in what looked to be the same place as before, and now the sun shone brightly, warmly on the land.  The water was calm and the day was so beautiful and serene that I asked the Lord, "What am I seeing?" He said, "It's the sun of righteousness," referring to the passage in Malachi 4.  I thought about the differences in the two visions--one of tumultuous storms and people running for safety and
