Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord! A couple days ago while in prayer I saw a vision of a very large tree.  I was reminded of Daniel 2, the passage on Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a large tree.  He was that tree, and he saw that while the massive tree was great and provided shelter and fruit for all who came to it, the Lord cut that tree down because of his pride. In my vision, the tree was not cut down, but rather, had a huge hole in it where upon a large owl sat.  The hole was deep into the tree, near to where the trunk began to divide into giant branches.  I wondered about that hole, how did it get so deep?  Was it killing the tree?  The owl was near hidden in that dark hole and it did not seem to be a good thing--it was an unclean bird, a counterfeit of true wisdom.  I discerned that the tree was the United States and that the owl represented ungodly, conventional wisdom that was guiding and hiding in the...

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Psalm 11: In the Lord I take refuge.  How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain.  For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.  When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord is on His heavenly throne.  He observes the sons of men; His eyes examine them.  The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence His soul hates. On the wicked He will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot. For the Lord is righteous, He loves justice; upright men will see His face. I received this Psalm all summer, when Iraqi Christians were indeed fleeing from Muslim extremists to a mountain for safety.  They were besieged on that mountain for at least ten days without water, food, or shelt...

Greetings in the Lord! "All this I have told you so that you will not go astray...in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.  They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me." John 16:1-3 I remember a few years ago being sent to Germany to give a number of prophetic words to people and to decree that the "Mystery of Persecution" was coming to the German Church.  In essence, God chooses whom He will to suffer for His namesake, but the reward of growing deeper and closer to Jesus is worth it!  Likewise, last March I went to Holland and France and also decreed that the Lord's presence was going to come upon His people there and they would grow stronger in the Lord and hot with His words in their bellies.  The Lord also showed me their many foes in the spirit realm--I had never seen European cities so dark!  If you are not aware of the current struggles going on in Europe regarding Islam...

Greetings in the Lord! It's not very often, in fact, I can't think of another time when the Lord has put a call to intercede so urgently upon my heart as now.  I would ask all prayer warriors to pray from today (September 9th) until Rosh Hashanah (September 25th) these Psalms daily.  Just read them straight through: Psalm 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, and 16 (and others you feel led to read) You might notice that these psalms have a particular theme--calling upon God to protect His people, but in a very specific way: by returning upon their own heads the curses and ungodly prayers being spoken against us.  Yes, it's true.   One thing the American media is not informing us about the ISIS aggression is the spiritual side of it--they are praying 5 times a day curses upon our nation, our soldiers, our government , our news journalists/reporters , and anyone that dares to post online condemning the rise of ISIS.  The ISIS supporter who posted two grisly photos of a dead ...

Greetings in the Lord! There have been different periods of time where the Lord has led me to read Matthew 17, usually just the beginning verses 1-13 regarding the transfiguration of Jesus.  And I must admit, I've grappled with the deeper meaning of that passage.  On the surface, it's clear that Jesus' earthly form changes into resplendent light of the divine before the disciples, and he talks with Moses and Elijah.  But there are three versions of this story: Matthew includes a short passage about the coming of Elijah, i.e. John the Baptist and his death, Luke emphasizes the coming death and resurrection of Jesus, and Mark is a simplistic combination of both passages.  Then, all three go on with a story about the disciples not being able to drive a demon out of a boy.  Jesus cites their deficiency of faith and absence prayer (and fasting, in some translations)--then drives the demon out.  Chapter 17 in Matthew ends with another miracle story of a fish p...
