Pleasant Field Trampled


Greetings in the Lord!

This morning I had a dream from the Lord.  In it I was walking along talking with someone who was leading animals across an open, pretty green field.  As we walked I noticed that we were following a path of trampled-down, crushed grass and saw that the field was being ruined by all the foot traffic across it.  I felt bad about ruining the pretty grassy field some more.  The shepherd said to me, “Oh, don’t worry about it.  This is how we do it.”

When I awoke I prayed for discernment and was led to read Jeremiah 12:7-12:

“I will give the one I love into the hands of her enemies…Has not My inheritance become to me like a speckled bird of prey that the other birds of prey surround and attack?  Go and gather all the wild beasts; bring them to devour.”

“Many shepherds will ruin My vineyard and trample down My field; they will turn My pleasant field into a desolate wasteland.  It will be made a wasteland, parched and desolate before Me; the whole land will be laid waste because there is no one who cares.”

“Over all the barren heights in the desert destroyers will swarm, for the sword of the Lord will devour from one end of the land to the other; no one will be safe."

~Be blessed and be a blessing.

Restful December Notice

Greetings in the Lord! I just wanted to write and give a warm best wishes to all this holiday season! It has been laid on my heart to take some time off from writing and spend it resting close to the Master for the month. I thank God for each and every one of you and pray that you will enjoy the holiday season and find some together time with Jesus as well. Whether it's Christmas caroling, having friends and loved ones over for fellowship, or reaching out to whoever the Lord puts in your path this season, may the love of Christ be seen on your face and His peace and joy overflowing in your heart. ~Be blessed and be a blessing.

The Ides of March Approach

Greetings in the Lord! Yesterday and today I received Scripture verses from Isaiah 11 and Romans 3.  I took some time to ponder about those particular chapters for they are fairly weighty passages.  Then this morning I heard the Holy Spirit say, "Ides of March;" that got my attention real quick because that is a time-sensitive reference.  The Ides of March is the 15th of March traditionally.  So it seems that we are on the cusp of a new season entering in. Now, while I am still in the process of discerning the fullness of what the Holy Spirit is saying, I felt the urgency to begin to put into print the direction I feel the Spirit is leading on this, namely, that we are going to be encountering some "turbulence" in the days ahead in the form of God's justice being carried out, which in effect, will pave the way for a period of relative calm and relief for those who have been oppressed and mistreated.  In the history of the Ides of March as it pertained to Jul...

Instruments of Righteousness

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word is quite amazing when you consider that I was praying for the persecuted Christians all around the world.  I was asking the Lord, "Lord, we read that when the early Church was being heavily persecuted, that it had the reverse effect of growing the Church's numbers--why are we not seeing that now in Syria and Iraq and other places?"  But the Lord responded with this in my heart: "You will see that.  Soon, at the sight of the violent, needless killing of my innocents, conversions will break out among the enemies' camp, so much so, that they will begin to shield the atrocities from their own ranks, fearful that many will leave the fight at the sight of the injustices.  And the 'mystery of persecution' will bear its perfect fruit in those places." The Lord also led me to read from Romans 6:8-14. "Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.  For we kn...

No More Politically Correct Prophecy

Greetings in the Lord! I want to share with you about a recent, and very relevant experience and word from the Lord. It began a week ago with a dream. In this dream, a very good-looking uncircumcised man came to me holding out a piece of paper in his hand for me to take. The situation seemed harmless and attractive, but a voice from behind me said, "He is an enticing spirit." Immediately I became angry and yelled at him in Jesus' name to leave and never come back. Upon waking from that dream I opened my Bible to 2 Kings 12. That is a story about an enticing spirit coming to all of King Ahab's "prophets" and putting lies in their mouths of success in battle (telling King Ahab what he wanted to hear). I knew it was confirmation of the dream's meaning and that the Lord was preparing me for an "enticing spirit" (but I did not know who, what, when, or where). Then this past weekend I went to a prophetic conference in Denver. I enjoyed the co...

Mystery of Persecution

Greetings in the Lord, When I get a prophetic word in a cluster of three, I pay attention because it's urgent and usually of a serious nature that unless I had the two confirmations in quick succession I would wait on it for awhile, not wanting to cry wolf.  But today's word is of a serious nature and a bit of a follow up from a word that was given nearly nine months ago -- so it seems as if it is ready to give birth. Anyway, in November 2018, I posted a word on this site about upcoming trials and persecutions that would be coming that would ultimately be used to sift and refine and even cause some to fall away from the faith, and yet, despite it all, the Mystery of Persecution would eventually result in that MORE people would come to the faith.  Well, for the past two days, again I am getting these same types of words from Scripture in John 16 and 14 that say that major persecution is on the horizon. "All this I have told you so that you will not go astray.  They w...

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 ...

Can't See the Forest Thru All the Trees

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Micah chapters 1-2. Those chapters speak of God's intense disapproval of the prevalent idolatry, corruption, and immorality in Samaria and Jerusalem. While in verses 2:12-13 God promises deliverance for the remnant of faithful believers in those nations, overall the chapters foretell of certain judgment to Israel and Judah for their sinful ways (eathquakes and enemy attacks)...yet, false prophets spoke against the words of Micah. 2:6-7) "Do not prophesy," their prophets say. "Do not prophesy about these things; disgrace will not overtake us." Should it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of the Lord angry? Does he do such things?" The answer is a most resounding 'Yes!' The Lord loves us too much to let His people run rampant in sin all their lives--thinking that right is wrong and wrong is right. Righteousness is not democratic. The Lord is holy and His Word is the same yesterday, today a...
