Greetings in the Lord! For the past couple days the Lord has been having me read the stories of David and Nehemiah and their many struggles with staunch adversaries on their way to re-build and rule in Israel. Often times their encounters included mockery, deceit, hostility, and malice, not to mention being falsely accused of various things and betrayals, even in close relationships. The verse in 2 Samuel 3:1 says it all : "The war between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted a long time. David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker." Yep, the war was long, but slowly David's strength grew and his family (supporters) increased--and he did indeed get to be king over all of Israel. Yet there were many times that David and Nehemiah had cried out to God to save them from their enemies! Everyday was touch and go, especially for the re-building of the wall for Nehemiah. "They were all trying to frighten us, thinking, ...

Greetings in the Lord! I wanted to take a moment and share with you all a word the Lord gave eariler this month, given on May 2, 2008. "This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'See, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might. I will bring against Elam the four winds from the four quarters of the heavens; I will scatter them to the four winds, and there will not be a nation where Elam's exiles do not go. I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives; I will bring disaster upon them, even my fierce anger,' declares the Lord. 'I will pursue them with the sword until I have made an end of them. I will set my throne in Elam and destroy her king and officials,' declares the Lord. 'Yet I will restore the fortunes of Elam in days to come,' declares the Lord. ~I actually did not know for what nation the Lord was referring to until after the giant Cyclone Nargis hit Myanmar (the next day). Yes, the "four winds fro...

Greetings in the Lord! Today the Lord had me read 1 Samuel 3, the story where God calls three times to an unknowing young Samuel. As you may recall, Eli finally figured out that the Lord was calling to Samuel and instructed the boy to respond accordingly. We know that in these days of the "hearts of the fathers returning to the sons, and hearts of the sons returning to the fathers," much instruction is being called for on the part of the older generation to lovingly direct our younger generation, a generation that by in large and as of yet, does not "know" Him. I recall also when this Scripture passage was given as a word to one of my younger Syrian teammates back in the Fall of 2003. She had a pure heart, as did many of my younger teammates, and she was serving the Lord as best she knew how...but "did not yet know the Lord." One day she came to me with a question about whether she should be covered or not (wear the hajib). Even though I am Christian ...

Greetings in the Lord! Not too long ago the Lord had me read Isaiah chapters 7-8 and gave a word about it (see April 22). Again the Lord refers us to those chapters and gives us a word: V.5-9) Aram, Ephraim and Remaliah's son have plotted your ruin, saying, "Let us invade Judah; let us tear it apart and divide it among ourselves, and make the son of Tabeel king over it." Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says: "'It will not take place, it will not happen, for the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damasucs is only Rezin....The head of Ephraim is....only Remaliah's son. If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.' " The Lord was assuring king Ahaz of Judah that though Ephraim and Aram were joined together to invade, divide and plunder Judah, it would not happen. The Lord was even willing to give a sign to king Ahaz to encourage and strengthen his faith. Can you see the same in our election race? There are candidates tha...
