Praise Report

Hallelujah!

At the end of January the Lord gave me a word (which was published on this site, then disappeared with 2 others!?) that He was going to deliver the Christian missionary captives in Iraq. While originally there were 4 captives--one was shot, condolences to the grieving family--the other 3 were rescued today!! Amen and amen!! God is so-o-o good and true to His word.

Anyway, just wanted to send this out as I run off to the airport.
~Be blessed and be a blessing.

Witch of Endor Be Revealed and Rendered Powerless

  Greetings in the Lord~ Well, Trump's in office and the predicted fireworks show has been non-stop. At first, it seemed a bit dramatic, like he was taking on issues that were out in left field and picking unnecessary fights with countries that are not typically in the U.S. news cycle.  It was a little hard to follow his thinking....at first.  But as most things Trump-related, the truth of a matter reveals itself in short time, thus prompting the current adage of: "Trump was right."  But this latest dispute he had with the president of Ukraine seems a bit different to me.   On the surface, it was dealing with a subject that has gotten a lot of press and dollars from the U.S.--the war in the Ukraine.  However, as I watched the early clips of their much publicized spat, I heard in my spirit: "The witch of Endor," over and over.  Hmmm, this is referring to the passage in 1 Samuel 28.  The prophet Samuel has just died and King Saul finds himself ...

Favor of the Lord

Greetings in the Lord! Yesterday I received an encouraging word from a friend about the favor of God, but I'm not sure I really received it. Today, however, the Lord said it, so I not only received it, but am passing along the blessing to all of you. Enjoy! "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because the Lord has annointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion--to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."~Isaiah 61:1-3 In the midst of your storm hold onto the vision the Lord put in you because indeed, t...

If We Endure, We Will Also Reign With Him

Greetings in the Lord! Today's verse comes from 2 Corinthians 12:2-10. "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven....He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell. I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say." "To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, ...

Come to the Mountain

Greetings in the Lord! God is so fun...today's scripture is from Hebrews 12:14-29 and completely picks up where we left off of from yesterday's scripture in Deuteronomy 5. :) "Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many....You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them because they could not bear what was commanded...But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous me...

Be A Fruitful Branch

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from John 15:1-2, 4, 16: "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful...Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.....You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit---fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." It was yet another amazing day with the Lord! Yesterday, He arranged that I would be the guest speaker at Rotary Club Int'l, speaking His words to a special group of Manila's finest businessmen, lawyers, city officials, media and advertising agents, the Chief Inspector for the police, top Philippine entertainers, and a Maritime Captain. It was a great evening as we shared good conversati...

The Lord Has Stirred Hearts To Build

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Haggai 1:13-15: "Then Haggai, the Lord's messenger, gave this message of the Lord to the people: "I am with you," declares the Lord. So the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the whole remnant of the people. They came and began to work on the house of the Lord Almighty, their God, on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year of King Darius." ~What project has the Lord stirred your heart to undertake? Know for sure that He says, "I am with you." In the passage the Israelites were being called to stop working on their own houses, i.e., their own projects, and start to build what the Lord had put in their hearts to do...and He was with them. For, "Unless the Lord builds it, the workers labor in vain," right? Yes, it's true; and more than that, the L...

Eternal Life

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from 1 Samuel chapter 28:13-15a and Matthew 27:52-53. "The king (Saul) said to her, "Don't be afraid. What do you see?" The woman said, "I see a spirit coming up out of the ground. "What does he look like?" he asked. "An old man wearing a robe is coming up," she said. Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground. Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" (1 Samuel 28:13-15a) "The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people." (Matthew 27:52-53). ~Today's word is more like an open-ended question: where did both Samuel and the "many holy people" arise from? I remember praying to the Lord back in November 2005, "Lor...
