Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord! Recently on the Elijah list, there was a specific word given that I felt God was keeping me in the loop about--but had not given me full understanding yet. This word had to do with the call to fast for three weeks in July and cry out to God for protection and strategy during an increased time of attack by the enemy. As described by prophet Bob Jones, this enemy spirit was a major "snake" spirit that usually runs amuck undetected and is very dangerous--even being linked to nationwide plagues, if I remember correctly. It was put on my heart to fast and pray, so I did, while keeping an eye in the news to see what would develop or transpire. Would God reveal a major terrorist plot or would some high-level terrorists be caught? Well, I saw there was some increased activity on this front worldwide, but it didn't seem that it was relevant to what was being laid on my heart by the Lord. However, this morning the Spirit gave me understanding of what exactly ...

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word is from 1 Kings 21:17-20, 23, 25-26: "Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: "Go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He is now in Naboth's vineyard, where he has gone to take possession of it. Say to him, 'This is what the Lord says: Have you not murdered a man and seized his property?' Then say to him, 'This is what the Lord says: In the place where dogs licked up Naboth's blood, dogs will lick up your blood--yes, yours!'" "Ahab said to Elijah, "So you have found me, my enemy!" "I have found you," he answered, "because you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord.... And also concerning Jezebel the Lord says: 'Dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.' ....There was never a man like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, urged on by Jezebel his wife . He behaved in the vilest manner by going aft...

Greetings in the Lord! Today I had a dream and corresponding word from the Lord from Hosea 8:5-14. I discern is about the nation of Iceland. You may recall that in March of 2006 the Lord had sent me to that country to prophesy His word over that nation of coming judgment and also of His raising up of prayer warriors. In the dream I had today I saw a cold and desolate city, now in ruins. Upon closer inspection I saw that there was a human head and shoulders perfectly preserved in the stone building structure. It reminded me of pictures of Pompeii, where the were people so quickly covered by ash and lava that they were preserved just as they were when the volcano overtook the city. Next, in the dream I was filming the area with a special camera that showed me only the outlines of the structures being filmed: a crater, ruins of a building, etc. It looked like a moving cartoon and I heard a voice say, "You are only seeing the outline of the incident." Hosea 8:7-9 "They sow t...

Greetings in the Lord! It has been awhile since the Lord has laid anything in my spirit that I felt led to share with you all, but from my heart I am hoping the Lord is moving mightily in your life this summer. Recently I asked the Lord about the absence of writing on here, and the Spirit laid in my spirit that this is a different season--one of reaping, whereas last year was one of sowing many prophetic words. Having said that, I am going to share a word today that came accompanied with a dream. This morning I awoke from a dream in which I saw a young person at the death of Chris Farley. You may recall that he was a talented funny man of the Saturday Night Live show in the 90s. Anyway, in my dream Chris was in a very nice apartment in a skyscraper building. He was clowning around and trying out some new material for a stand-up routine when he just collapsed. The young person he was entertaining was alarmed, but didn't know what to do. That person called 911 and told the disp...

Greetings in the Lord! Today as I was reading through news articles I came across one that was telling about how Paris Hilton "found God" in jail. Oh, the skeptics abound, but do you recall the word and the dream the Lord gave that was shared on this blogsite October 24th, 2006? In that blog, I shared a prophetic dream about telling Paris and her sister about Jesus--and that He would and could redeem them from the sins and debauchery of their youth. I discerned at the time that Paris specifically would be a "modern-day Mary Magdalene," in that the Lord would deliver and redeem her and she would be devoted to Him. Praise God! As Christians, we are to get into agreement with the saving grace of our Lord and Savior. Begin to pray and praise God that He is touching and redeeming celebrities' lives in Hollywood and other places so that they will be a bold and faithful witness to the world that our Savior lives and redeems the lost! Pray that those saved will be...

Greetings in the Lord! About two weeks ago I had a dream in which I looked over to the direction of my closet and I saw a rock in a desert---then water, clear and cool came out from it and filled my spirit. It was so refreshing that I actually woke up full of energy. It reminded me of the rock Moses struck in the desert that brought forth water for the Israelites. It was so powerful a dream that I discerned that something new was about to take place. Well, sure enough. This week the Lord has put on my heart that He intends to pour out His Spirit on the YMCA where I am employed. The funny thing is, all up until that dream of water coming from the rock, I had been distressed about the lack of the true "C"--Christianity, in the YMCA. By in large, the organization promotes "good" religious values (Caring, Respect, Responsibility, and Honesty) and give some lip service to God, but actions and hard heart conditions toward Jesus and the Word are overly prevalent. The botto...

Greetings in the Lord! So many things going on, but I have not felt lead to share much until now. Today's word is from Isaiah 26 and Ezekiel 30, of which I will share selected verses: "He humbles those who dwell on high, He lays the lofty city low; He levels it to the ground and casts it to the dust. Feet trample it down--the feet of the oppressed, the footsteps of the poor." Isaiah 26:5-6. "Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. It has not been bound up for healing or put in a splint so as to become strong enough to hold a sword.....I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the Lord." Ezekiel 30:21,26. ~These verses were given to me as the interpretation of the dream I had this morning. At the start of the dream was a woman who was talking with another woman and after their conversation the first woman goes to her "husband" and tells him she was leaving hi...

Greetings in the Lord! Today's message is a strong word and directly speaks to false prophets--those who have called themselves to speak and do not speak the Lord's words. Those who persist in telling lies, speaking from their own imaginations, persecuting and rebelling against true prophets and anointed leaders, and manipulating others for their own financial and emotional needs/gains. Also, and specifically, this word was given over a year ago to a certain "prophetess" in the north and she still will not depart from the Jezebel spirit that she walks with and influences her. Please pray for her, for these are serious times. Understand that the Lord is merciful and just. He does not act rashly and sends many people and circumstances to return hearts back to Himself, always in the effort to show His grace and forgiveness rather than His discipline. However, there are many even in the Church who persist in rebellion and deceit, even electing themselves to prophetic posi...

Greetings in the Lord! "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." "And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how t...

Greetings in the Lord! All week the Lord has been giving me scriptures that deal with jealousy and contention within the body of Christ. In Matthew 20:1-16 we read the parable about the landowner who hired workers at different times throughout the day, but at day's end, they all received the same wage--much to the displeasure of the earlier hired workers. "But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'" Matthew 20:13-15. In the Hebrew translation the word 'envious' literally means, "is your eye evil?" All throughout the Middle East this concept is widely understood: Evil eye is associated with jealousy and envy. This parable is for the workers---i.e., the body of Christ. Yes, ther...

Greetings in the Lord! Has anyone been at work tilling hard soil over the past couple of years? What about cutting down thistles and weeds and combing rocks out of a parched land? Yep, me too. Well, this week I had the pleasure of watching the groundsmen where I live prepare the rocky, dry ground for green grass to be laid. They plowed the ground level then removed big rocks, and finally, they laid out rows of green grass turf! In an afternoon the areas around the house became a beautiful lush lawn! "This is what the Lord says--He who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you: Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant, Jeshrun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams. One will say, 'I belong to the Lord'; another will call himself by the nam...

Greetings in the Lord! "Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war! Rouse the warriors! Let all the fighting men draw near and attack. Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weakling say, 'I am strong!'...Bring down your warriors, O Lord!" Joel 3:9-11b. "Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full and the vats overflow--so great is their wickedness! Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision." Joel 3:13-14. "I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice He judges and makes war....He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following Him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of His mouth comes a sharp sword with which to stri...

Greetings in the Lord! On Friday night I joined an outreach team at the St. Louis Dream Center to go to the inner city neighborhoods of St. Louis for street evangelism. I don't mind telling you that I was a bit nervous--St. Louis has received top billing as the most dangerous city in the US. The words the Lord gave me were not much comfort either. The first word, based on Ezekiel 22, talks about Israel's rampant violence, immorality and idolatry and the Lord rising to deal with them. "Then the word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me; all of them are the copper, tin, iron and lead left inside a furnace. They are but the dross of silver. Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: 'Because you have all become dross, I will gather you into Jerusalem. As men gather silver, copper, iron, lead and tin into a furnace to melt it with a fiery blast, so will I gather you in my anger and my wrath and put you inside the c...

Greetings in the Lord! Today while watching the news updates on CNN I saw images of fires burning up forests in southern Georgia and also heard about the wind storms and tornadoes blowing through Illinios, Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee and the Spirit brought to my rememberance the words given on this site April 9th and 11th, both speaking of such natural disasters happening in those regions. One vision of a wind storm was given in Plainfield, Illinois, where a tornado just swept through. "Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?" Lamentations 3:37-38. I am also reminded of how the Lord is moving so quickly and fiercely this season--prophetic words coming to pass very quickly. Can you exalt His name even through the eye of a storm? And many will question these words because their understanding of the Lord is a narrow view focusing on blessings, prosperity, and peace. But...

Greetings in the Lord! Last night the Spirit put on my heart to go to the St. Louis Dream Center Tuesday night worship service. This center was founded by Joyce Meyer Ministries, of which I am a big fan, so it was a delight to go and see what the Lord is doing there. Well, instead of their usual service the kids were putting on a skit called, "Voice of Change." The focus of the evening was to teach the audience to be a voice for the voiceless and to spearhead change for our generation by stepping out boldly for our faith in the face of opposition. I must admit, however, I am not a big fan of children's performances. I just don't have the patience it takes to listen to mumbled lines or wait while they remember what is supposed to happen next. Having said that, I will say that the whole night was worth it just to see the closing act. It was a last supper scene, with the disciples singing and Jesus had already ascended. After each disciple sang their part, soldiers...

Greetings in the Lord! Can I just tell you how excited I am about the miraculous things the Lord is doing? So many in our midst, we couldn't count them all if we tried! "He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. When He passes me, I cannot see Him; when He goes by, I cannot perceive Him." Job 9:10-11 Three weeks ago during a worship service the Spirit kept saying to me, "a nointed hands." I wasn't sure exactly what He was saying; "Whose hands? Do You want me to anoint someone's hands?", I didn't understand. After the service a woman from the congregation came up and introduced herself to me. While she was talking I felt the word was for her, so I began to share what the Holy Spirit said to me. The Lord gave this word: " The Lord has anointed your hands for service; He wants to move powerfully through you--right at your place of work, out in the open, publically. All you have to do is be expe...

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Luke 12:29-36~ "As the crowds increased, Jesus said, "This is a wicked generation. It asks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.....for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here." "No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you." ~In these verses we see that Jesus is...

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word is a rather strong word and it builds off of yesterday's word to those who persist in pursuing the desires/works of the flesh rather than follow the leading and timing of the Holy Spirit. "The Lord has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: 'I will never forget anything you have done.'....I will turn your religious feasts into mourning and all your singing into weeping. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make that time like mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day." "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign Lord, "when I will send a famine through the land--not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord . Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it." "In that day the lovely young women and strong young men will faint because of t...

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word is Psalm 67, taken from the Amplified Bible: "God be merciful and gracious to us and bless us and cause His face to shine upon us and among us. Selah. That Your way may be known upon earth, Your saving power (Your deliverances and Your salvation) among all nations. Let the peoples praise You (turn away from their idols) and give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise and give thanks to You. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples fairly and guide, lead, or drive the nations upon earth. Selah. Let the peoples praise You (turn away from their idols) and give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise and give thanks to You! The earth has yielded its harvest (in evidence of God's approval); God, even our own God, will bless us. God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall reverently fear Him." ~This version of Psalm 67 is a little different than other translations because ...

Greetings in the Lord! "On the first day, Jonah started into the city. He proclaimed: 'Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned.' The Ninevites believed God. They declared a fast, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth." "When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. Then he issued a proclamation in Nineveh: 'By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let any man or beast, herd or flock, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.'" "When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he...
