Daily Prophetic Words--Praying for our Global Community

Greetings in the Lord! I wanted to share an update about the time the Lord sent me to Adrian College last year. During my brief stay there, the Lord had filled my nights with dreams and days with words for the students, faculty, and administration--the nature of which could be summed up with this word: "The Lord is going to shake this place." The Lord showed me dreams in which I saw and heard the male athlete mentality and perpetual sexual violence towards the girls on that small campus, even prompting me to speak with administrators warning them about the dangers of sex crimes and gang rapes against female students. In the daytime I witnessed theft and general disregard for morality and racial/sexual equality in the faculty of the athletic department, even an effort to hide crimes committed by athletes. The Lord had me again speak His words, which were not well received and warnings not heeded. In January of 2008, things started to be revealed publically. First, the coll...

Greetings in the Lord! I wanted to share with all of you some exciting things that have happened this week. About a month ago the Lord put on my heart to go to the US Apostolic Alliance meeting that happened in Colorado Springs, CO earlier this week. It was hosted by Dutch Sheets and Peter Wagner and featured Chuck Pierce, Barbara Yoder, Dennis Peacocke and a couple others. The prophetic words given were a summation of what the Lord is doing and will be accomplishing in our nation in the time to come. Needless to say, the meeting was intensely powerful. Most interesting to me was the nature of the event--to launch the US Apostolic Alliance, a grassroots movement of God. Dutch Sheets was "knighted" by two apostles of Native origin, the original "landowners" of Colorado, and of all North America for that matter. Those two apostles had been appointed to represent all of the tribes of Native people in America, in which there were about 15-20 tribes representatives in a...

Greetings in the Lord! Well, you may recall the last word the Lord gave us about the election process...Hillary Clinton was on a SNL skit in which she was filled with "holy laughter", according to the Spirit. And yes, true to the word given that day, Hillary Clinton did well on 'super Tuesday,' defying all the odds and winning Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island to put her back in the race. Today's word from the Lord speaks again about the Presidential race; it is taken from Isaiah 18, of which I will give select verses: ..."Go, swift messengers, to a people tall and smooth-skinned, to a people feared far and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers. All you people of the world....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 well look on from My dwelling place, like shimmering heat in the sunshine"......

Greetings in the Lord! The Lord today continues with His words on our Presidential election process. This morning after prayer the Holy Spirit played in my mind again the Saturday Night Live sketch from this past weekend that featured Hillary Clinton. In the sketch, one of the cast members dresses up like her and makes fun of her laugh, and Hillary said, "Do I really laugh like that?" And of course, she does, so it was really funny. The sketch was light and humorous overall and Hillary seemed full of joy and very relaxed....like maybe she had given up on the race and felt she didn't have anything to lose. Well, the Holy Spirit said to me: "Holy laughter." I discern that Hillary has abandoned all her striving to win the race and just turned it over to God---and you know what? God filled her heart with joy! Win or lose, she laughed in the face of a 0-14 run of electoral loses. She laughed in the face of all the political analysts saying losses in Texas and Ohio wo...

Greetings in the Lord! Several times in the Gospels Jesus warned his disciples about deception in the End Times, namely through the coming of false Christs and false prophets. Jesus said to them: "Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and will deceive many.....At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect--if that were possible." (Mark 13:5-6, 21-22). How would it be possible to deceive the elect? In Matthew 7:15-23 Jesus gives the telltale sign of a false prophet: bad fruit. So--what is 'bad fruit'? The American church likes to call 'bad fruit' any word that doesn't make them 'feel-good,' causes controversy, or doesn't line up with their understanding of Scripture. Makes me wonder how Paul would've gotten alon...

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...

Greetings in the Lord! This weeke the Lord again talks more about the US politcal race for President, citing John chapter 3 as our frame of reference. "Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him." In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again....Flesh gives birn to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit....The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." ~After Nicodemus expresses his skepticism, Jesus goes on to tell him that he cannot talk to him more about 'heavenly things' if he cannot even believe when he speaks of 'earthly things.' The ...

Greetings in the Lord! I wanted to share with you an urgent word that the Lord has been repeating to me over the past few days; a word about Herod, bad fruit, and spiritual blindness. First, in Matthew 2 we read that Herod found out about the baby Jesus and set out to destroy him....but was tricked by the Magi and Joseph fled with his family, so Jesus was safe. Next, we hear John the Baptist calling out to the people, "Produce fruit in keeping with repentance....The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire." (Matthew 3:8,10). Finally, in John 9 we read a story about Jesus healing a man born blind and the Pharisees question, then denounce the healing and Jesus. Jesus responds to the situation this way: V 39-41) Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind." Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say ...

Greetings in the Lord! Recently I've been reading an 8-day prayer "focus" prepared by a respected prophetic voice directed at getting people launched into 2008, a year of "new beginnings." Today's Scripture passages were taken from Genesis 1, Exodus 1, Joshua 1, 1 Samuel 1, Matthew 1, and Acts 1 and dealt mainly with significant Biblical births, new endeavors, and the Creation story. After reading those passages, I asked the Holy Spirit what I should be getting out of those "new beginning" chapters from the Bible, and He led me to read Jeremiah 4:23-28) "I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; and at the heavens, and their light was gone. I looked at the mountains, and they were quaking; all the hills were swaying. I looked, and there were no people; every bird in the sky had flown away. I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert; all its towns lay in ruins before the Lord, before His fierce anger. This is what the Lord sa...

Greetings in the Lord! Today the Lord is putting on my heart Joel chapter 3, of which I will share selected verses: v. 1-2)"In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning My inheritance, My people Israel, for they scattered My people among the nations and divided up My land." v. 12-13)"Let the nations be roused; let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all nations on every side. 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! v.14,16)"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision....The Lord will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem; the earth and the sky will tremble. But the Lord will be a r...

Greetings in the Lord! I wanted to give you an update about a word given in January of 2006. The word was: "Before the beginning of 2008, the European Union will pass its constitution," thereby making the EU an official governing body. You may recall, that in 2004 there was a push to ratify th at Constitution, which was struck down by referendum in only France and Holland in 2005. After a "cooling off period," the ball was picked up again early in 2007. In a nutshell, EU officials simply renamed the Constitution a "Treaty" (of Lisbon), made slight legal modifications, dropped the formal use of the EU flag and emblem, and changed its exclusive reference to Europe's Christian heritage to an all-inclusive religious stance and reference to "humanism." Otherwise, the EU "Constitution" remins essentially the same. On December 18th, 2007 the Treaty of Lisbon was sealed, and now awaits passage (walk-throughs) in the governments of the...

Greetings in the Lord! While many prophetic voices are writing about the "new beginnings" of 2008, the Lord has been really speaking to me about the presidential race of this year. One word keeps ringing in my spirit: 'process.' I discern that this year's election race will be divinely used as a "process" to reveal heart conditions of our people, even within the Body of Christ, as we engage in dialogue and debate about who we want for president and why. Pay attention to the conversations around you and of your own words, too. For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. And do not be quick to join in the political debates, for what do we know, really? In Matthew chapter 20, there are 3 stories that deal directly or indirectly with the "first being last, and the last being first." In the one story, the early workers were indignant because the later ones got paid the same wage as they did, even though they did less of the work. I discer...

Happy 2008! Well, it is good to be back writing again...at last, the hiatus has come to an end and it's time to start sharing with you all again. :) With no further adieu, I have a couple things to write about. First, I want to share the scripture passage the Lord has given me for 2008, from the book of Haggai, especially chapter 2. Haggai 2:6-9) "This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea, and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the Lord Almighty. 'The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,' declares the Lord Almighty. 'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the Lord Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the Lord Almighty." Specifically for the American Church I see it like this: we are like a bag of flour being...

Greetings in the Lord! Recently I shared that the Lord has been sending me to various cities around Michigan for prophetic ministry. What a fun and busy time that has been. Even more enjoyable has been the words the Lord has given me to share: words of building, cleansing, launching out in different ministry projects, and the like. Those are always the most fun to give because right now many people in the "north" are being sent out to do the things God has been preparing them to do, and they are very receptive to hearing the wisdom, direction, and encouragement of the Lord. Having said that, the Lord on Monday during my prayer time gave me the word to go to California to prophesy. This, I discern, will be a "Jonah" trip: "Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: "Go to the city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you." Jonah 3:1 I am sending out a request to all the prayer warriors out there to lift me up during the three da...

Greetings in the Lord! I hope everyone thoroughly enjoyed their summer and had a great Labor Day! While "a man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work," (Eccl. 2:24a), it still is nice to have a holiday thrown in there every now and then... :) Anyway, I wanted to share about what I've been experiencing and seeing this past week or so in the spirit as I've traveled to cities in northern Michigan: I've been seeing wind--and lots of it! First, in Traverse City last week I had a vision of strong winds sweeping over the bay area, blowing as if to wipe the area "clean". One part of this vision also included a sail boat with red and white stripes on it--a believer in Christ--using the wind (and rudder--our carefully spoken words) to manuver swiftly around the bay. At first I thought this vision was specific for that person, but since I've seen so many other visions of wind, I now realize that it is more of a vision...

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...
