Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from 2 Chronicles 22 and also Psalm 109.  For me, 2 Chronicles 22 tells of a time period of Israel's Biblical history that is really interesting, and Psalm 109, well it kind of scares me, to tell you the truth.  I'll let you read that one on your own!  While the passages are completely unrelated as far as who and when the instances took place, there are common themes, however, namely, that there comes a time when enough is enough and God determines the downfall of rebellious individuals.  Also, both passages talk about people carrying out great treachery, deceitfulness, and violence to achieve their selfish ambitions, while interestingly enough, the Lord also raises up people to carry out His purposes, which, truth be told, might also be seen as treacherous and violent!  Herein lies the great conundrum of understanding Providence, free will and the will of God.  Does God have favorites?  It would seem so, "J...

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...

Greetings in the Lord~ This has been another fun-filled summer of travel, lakeside relaxation, and meeting up with friends and family I haven't seen in a while--such a blessing!  However, it hasn't been without some insightful happenings and reflection from the Lord, even a task or two to keep me sharp, I guess.  Anyway, as I have spent time back in my hometown, I've run into childhood classmates and spent time catching up in our town's local watering holes, the same places our own parents used to hang out after our sport games and school functions when we were growing up.  Only now, our widening backsides fill those seats and we tell our tales of family life, work and personal interests while our kids are with their friends and out of our hair for a period of time.  Of course, too, our conversations drift to politics of the day and we discuss as "Gen Xers" our thoughts on current events and cultural narratives ever blaring in our ears in the media and w...
