Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word again comes from Zechariah chapter 1, which begins with a word by the prophet Zechariah for the people to return to the Lord. "The Lord was very angry with your forefathers. Therefore tell the people: "This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Return to me,' declares the Lord Almighty, 'and I will return to you.'...Do not be like your forefathers, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.' But they would not listen or pay attention to Me, declares the Lord....Then they repented and said, 'The Lord Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve, just as He determined to do.' " (Zechariah 1:2-6) The passage goes on to talk about Zechariah having a series of visions, the first being one of an angel riding a red horse with other horses of red, white and brown. They had been riding all over the earth and re...

Greetings in the Lord! This word comes from Jeremiah chapter 28. It is a passage in which Hananiah prophesies the "the yoke of Babylon" would be broken and that the articles of the temple would be returned, as well as Jehoiachin, back to Israel. Hananiah is prophesying peace and prosperity and liberation from Babylon's control...which is NOT what Jeremiah has been saying in the temple. More than that, Jeremiah explains that all the prophets previous to either he or Hananiah have "prophesied war, disaster and plague against many countries and great kingdoms. But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the Lord only if his predicton comes true." (Jeremiah 28:8-9) "...the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: "Go and tell Hananiah, 'This is what the Lord says: You have broken a wooden yoke, but in its place you will get a yoke of iron. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will put an iron yoke on the...

Greetings in the Lord! This word comes from Zechariah 1:18-21~ "Then I looked up--and there before me were four horns! I asked the angel who was speaking to me, "What are these?" He answered me, "These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem." Then the Lord showed me four craftmen. I asked, "What are these coming to do?" He answered, "These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise his head, but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter its people." ~The Lord has given me this passage of Scripture 2-3 times now and all I feel certain about is that He is sending "craftsmen," i.e. people skilled in their trades, to "terrify" and "throw down these horns of the nations who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah." I'm discerning that we will begin to w...

Greetings in the Lord! I want to share with you the same word the Lord gave back in January of this year, based on Isaiah chapter 18~ "Woe to the land of whirring wings along the rivers of Cush, which sends envoys by sea in papyrus boats over the water. Go, swift messengers, to a people tall and smooth-skinned,...an aggessive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by waters. All you people of the world, you who live on the earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will see it, and when a trumpet sounds, you will hear it. This is what the Lord says to me: "I will remain quiet and will look on from My dwelling place, like shimmering heat in the sunshine...For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone and the flower becomes a ripening grape, He will cut off the shoots with pruning knives, and cut down and take away the spreading branches." ~On the evening of September 3rd, "before the harvest"-- which falls late August/early September, th...

Greetings in the Lord! Recently the Lord has been speaking from Isaiah chapters 42-43, which has the central theme of God redeeming His people from their troubles--troubles brought on by their past rebelliousness and sin, and empowering them to move boldly in newly leveled roads that the Lord had paved for us to move out and proclaim truth and freedom to those held captive. The passages also tell of an increasing divide between those who trust in the Lord and are delivered from their troubles, and of those who trust in their idols and remain in their unfortunate circumstances and disillusionment. "For a long time I have kept silent, I have been quiet and held Myself back. But now, like a woman in childbirth, I cry out...I will lay waste the mountains and hills...I will turn rivers into islands and dry up pools. I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will lead them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smo...
