Praise Report

Greetings in the Lord! Today I feel led to share with everybody the great and awesome things the Lord has done this week! * The meeting with the university students was totally blessed! It was such a joy to meet with them, hear what the Lord has put in their hearts, and share the encouraging prophetic words from the Lord about the powerful things the Lord will be doing in and through them this year as the Holy Spirit is poured out in revival. * At work, in addition to one co-worker being healed, another one was delivered this week from the New Age/occult. Then, the day after she got rid of all her fortune-telling items, etc. and gave her heart to the Lord, her husband, which had been laid off for several months, got recalled back to work out of the blue. Praise God! I would ask that you would continue to prayfully support her during this time as well, though, as her son also suffered from a freak horse riding and the Lord has put on my heart to continue to pray for protec...

God Hears the Cry of the Needy and Gives Wisdom

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 al...

To the Wizard Behind the Curtain

Greetings in the Lord! You know what they say, "The more things change, the more they stay the same."  It's true, really.  We think we are so innovative and modern, but really, it is just the same ole thing done a little differently or faster, or more pervasively.  Take for example, internet spying. Whether it's done by governments, militaries, private businesses, individuals, or prepubescent hackers, it's not a new concept. Everybody thinks that if they can steal a little secret knowledge, they will gain some elusive advantage over someone else...or these days they like to pretend, to keep us "safe."  From who, pray tell?  A thief is a thief no matter the motive.  A bully is a bully no matter the circumstance.  Internet spying is about trying to obtain control and some advantage, plain and simple.  It's just a different frontier to harness and ride in our quest to conquer all.  Oh, brother! I remember back i...

The Trial of the People

Greetings in the Lord~ This week the Supreme Court heard the arguments from the lawyers representing the (small group of) Colorado voters that wanted to have Trump removed from the state's ballot in the next election.  While their arguments were much less than convincing, in the bigger picture, the fact that the Supreme Court was even listening to their sophisticated whines has an important spiritual implication, as today's prophetic word comes from Micah 6.  This word has to do with the 'trial of the people,' as they represent just how far down and wide the rebellion against the Lord goes in the U.S. culture.  These folks are on trial with the Lord presiding, and it doesn't go well for them! First off, it is interesting that this passage begins with the Lord calling to the mountains and hills to hear their complaints: "Stand up and state your case against Me.  Let the mountains and hills be called to witness your complaints.  And now, O mountains, listen to th...

Small Beginnings, Big Endings

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word is from Matthew 13:31-33; two parables about the kingdom of God. "Jesus told them another parable: 'The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.' He told them still another parable: 'The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.' The word from the Lord today is that 1) the big projects, His projects, that you've begun to understand and presently are undertaking may seem to you as insignificant, not at all the vision the Lord has put in your heart. Don't get frustrated, stay on your course, for in due time the project will bear much fruit and many will come to taste of it; 2) the 2nd part of the word is that while ...

Harmless Cartoons?

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Psalm 1: "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, NOR sinners in the assembly of the righteous . For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish." I discern this word to be responding to the flurry surrounding the Prophet Mohammad caricatures. Understand this: many of the events in our world today, both good and bad, are the means to reveal our true heart attitudes to ourselves and the world. How do you honestly feel about the news reports of the riots? The Wor...

Put 'Belief' Back in the Believers

Greetings in Christ! Today's word comes from Galatians 3:2-5: "I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? Have you suffered so much for nothing--if it really was for nothing? Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?" We are entering a very special season of a powerful move of God; many will see things that they've not seen before--all in the name of Jesus Christ! This is bound to make the "religious" folk among us a bit uncomfortable, if not down right alarmed. Imagine going to church and Bible study for years, reading about miraculous healings, glorious visions, and people operating in the gifts of the Spirit, then, watching one day as these wonderful things begin to happen in great n...
