A 28-Day Prayer Focus To Cause You to Think Differently and Your Faith to Soar! |
January 27, 2007
Dear Kingdom Key Holders:
Greetings and blessings to you! May the Lord direct all of your comings
and goings this year! May you see His presence go before you and may He be
your rear guard. It is hard to believe that the first month of this year
is almost over. I am looking forward to communicating with you this year.
Thank you for praying for our trip to Seoul, Korea for the 100th
Centennial of the Pyongyang Revival. Similar to the Azusa
Street Revival in the United States, the nation of Korea saw
a powerful move of Holy Spirit 100 years ago. At the meetings in Seoul earlier
this month, there were 10,000 to 13,000 in attendance. The Spirit
of God moved powerfully.
My next Eagles of God trip
will be to Europe in March when I will be leading a 10 person team to London,
Paris, Luxembourg and Belfast. I will be ministering in every place except
Luxembourg. This will be the first time I visit Luxembourg, which is where
my mother’s family originated. They were either ministers or business
people. Praying in that nation will be key as we continue to proceed to the
transfer of wealth. I am now on a trip from Memphis to Pasadena to Las Vegas
to Atlanta.
The prayer focus included at the end of this letter will increase your faith for the year ahead. If you want to contribute to the ongoing ministry of Glory of Zion International, you may give by going to https://www.gloryofzion.org/secure/gift.asp or by calling (888) 965-1099. You can also mail a donation to PO Box 1601, Denton TX 76202.
We Have Moved into the Month of SHEVAT!
The month of January was primarily the Hebrew month of TEVET. This
was a month to war with the evil eye. I wrote a
chapter about the evil eye in Doris Wagner’s book, How to Minister
Freedom. You can read an excerpt from this book by going to http://www.gloryofzion.org/20070127EvilEyeExcerpt.doc or
by ordering this book below. Many of you have probably gone through key trials
this month. This is a time that we must not give in to the power
of evil watchers who try to rearrange time and legal structures.
This has been a month to be aware of and pray
for your Commander in Chief. Who are you connected to? Who are the authorities
in your life, and are you praying for them? Are you prepared for the future?
This is a time to review your education or initiation into your next phase
of life. Many have gone on fasts. These help to purify the blood so the brain
and heart will function properly. This is a season that we must not be double-minded
or caught between two opinions. Ask the Lord to cleanse your conscience
and “let your good eye see.”
We have just entered the Hebraic month of SHEVAT. This month
is biblically linked with the tribe of Asher, which
means pleasure, happiness, delicious, and fatness. However this is a month
that we must be like Daniel and “beware of the delicacies of the king.”
In other words, we should not have our senses dulled with over
indulgence.
This is a month to develop the plan of sustaining
the generations. Pray for each of your children. May those that have strayed
from His path begin to hear the call to return. May they remember the love
of God and start their journey back toward His Kingdom. May those on the fence
cross over into the right pasture. How will your olive tree blossom?
This is the month of the letter tzadik
– your righteousness becomes your foundation. This is a month of rooting.
May your roots awaken to the water of life and every evil root be removed.
Find your “well of life.” Look for
those who are bringing pitchers of water to you. Study the life of Rebekah
and the Samaritan woman. This is a time to shout, “My
blessings are on the way!”
Divine Recovery
Before I led prayer a couple of weeks ago the Lord awakened
me at 3 AM and said these words,
“You have got to think differently for Me to open up new supply lines. Gather what has been scattered. Decree that My Body enter into and experience a DIVINE RECOVERY. Gather what has been scattered and I will release a new supply line and give you a new measure.” Also, I hear the Lord saying, “Begin to surround that which has been stranded. Many are afraid to move on to higher ground this hour. The enemy has convinced them that if they will stay at their present dimension then they will remain protected from him. This is not an hour to call a “truce” with the enemy. Do not fear the rising water that is surrounding you. For the rising water is a sign that I am ready to lead you into a new pasture. Surround those who have been surrounded, and show them the way into their enlarged place.”
The Spirit of God is also saying,
“Do not be afraid to go back down to that place where you were held in the valley. The valley, or the place where you have had confined vision, is losing its strength. I have a people that are getting ready to journey and come up to the place of ‘seeing’ where I reveal Myself in a new way. Not only will you see Me, but you will see your desires upon your enemy. If you will go back to the valley, you will find what was captured and the treasures that have been hidden there.
Do not fear the giants that were in your valley. Then you will come up, and in the midst of your coming up, you will begin to see what I have for you and how the enemy had planned to waste what I had destined for you in this hour. Even though you return to a low place, do not fear, for this will be a year that you will stand on new, high ground. For it was the high place that ruled you in your low place. Go back, return and then go up. And the throne of iniquity in your life at the high place will topple.
Worship Me on that high place and you will dance upon that which ruled you. Am I not a God that descended to ascend? Did I not go down to come up? As you descend and go down, take the key that I have set there, render the enemy powerless, and arise, arise, arise to the high place of ascension. Truly the power of My Name is at hand. The gifts in you that have lain dormant will arise as you ascend with Me, and you will have the power to RECOVER ALL!”
Recovery means:
Recovery is part of the process of Restoration. However, recovery is linked with strategy and obedience.
Linda Heidler shared the following dream after she heard me say, “Divine Recovery.”
There was a black object (like material blowing in the wind) calling from a hill for me to come to it. Then the dream changed, and I saw the blue chairs like we have in the sanctuary of Glory of Zion, but the floor was concrete rather than carpeted. On top of the chairs there were flats of brown eggs stacked about five or six flats high. Lots of people were crowding around and I thought the eggs would be knocked off and broken. At the same time, I saw that the people wanted the eggs to be broken so that they could pick up the shells. They could not see that the eggs were valuable for food. They could not see the resource that the eggs were, but they saw great value in the shells. What they wanted to do with the shells was to put them on a shelf so that people would see that they had an egg shell. The word I heard was ‘relics.’ The people were treating the egg shells like the Medieval Church treated relics. The Lord then spoke to me and said, “Reposition your resources so that you do not suffer loss.”
In the next part of the dream I was walking along a path on a hillside. I came across a beautiful jar half full of olives, but people had started to use it as a trash can. I cleaned all of the trash out because I knew that the olives were still good. I continued walking and came around a curve in the path and there was the black thing I had seen in the first part of the dream. It spoke again and said, “Oh! I am so happy that you are here. I’ve been here all alone, but now you are here. Please don’t leave me.” It had long things that looked like arms, but were only black fabric blowing in the wind. I looked up and where the head should have been there was a small black and white TV. Some sort of TV show was on it. I felt sorry for this thing, but knew that I had to get away. I ran past it. As soon as I was on the other side, I knew that if I had stayed, it would have captured me and I would have become part of the TV show.
When Linda shared this dream, I began to interpret. The Lord said,
“Do not look at the shell. Peer through. I will show you how to secure what you need to secure for resources. Look beyond the decay and trash. Underneath is the oil of anointing for supply for the future. Many have discarded that which is precious to them. May there be a recovery of the fruit that was there for you and the anointing that I have for you.
Do not be drawn by a spirit of poverty or fantasy this hour. Peer into My eyes and see that I AM real. Poverty and fantasy are calling. Come away and I will show you how to take a resource and prosper it fully. Do not be caught in the same scenario that has held you in the past. Even that which has become a shell around you will work as a great resource for you. Do not keep looking at the shell, but peer through that which encased your supply for the future. If you will peer through, I will show you how to secure that which you have now so that you will have plenty of resources in days ahead.
Look beyond where you are looking now. Look deep beyond that which has been decay and trash in your life. Under that is the oil of the anointing that will cause a flow to come that you have not known. This is the time of peering deeper and going deeper than you have gone in the past so you will see what I have for you in the future.”
A Season to War over Your Seeds…Be sure
you have PLANTED them!
Susan Stanfield, my assistant, then
began to share this:
“Chuck had us pick up some mustard seeds through the year in various Firsfruits services. Each seed I retrieved I placed in an envelope. Between Christmas and Starting the Year Off Right, my cat somehow knocked three seeds out of the envelope, and rather than put them back in the envelope, I thought, ‘I think I’ll just plant them and see what happens.’ I have a baby cactus plant in my kitchen window-sill, so I poked the 3 seeds into the dirt on the edge of the pot farthest away from the cactus. I thought, ‘If they ever come up I’ll have to remember I planted mustard seed there, so I don’t mistakenly pull them up, thinking that they’re weeds.’Within three days, I noticed three little, separate leaves poking up from the dirt where I’d planted the seeds. Two are about four inches tall and the third is about three inches tall.”
When Susan shared this, I realized that many of us have stored the seed that is key to our future. Susan planted hers and it came up quickly. I want to encourage you that this is a year to war with the word of God over your seed. Decree that this will be the year that the seed you have planted will sprout. DO NOT horde your seed, but plant and sow your seed and watch a great harvest begin in your life. God is going to give you new supply. You will gather what has been scattered. New supply is coming in for us to give. Ask God for new supply so that you can give in an increased measure.
Getting our LIGHT from under the Bushel (Basket)!
This is the year of the Lamp Stand. Our
Light must be bright and full this year! We cannot be lukewarm. The Sevenfold
Spirit of God is longing to manifest within us and bring us into the fullness
of His identity. We must shine! This is year for our “submerged”
identities to be dealt with. He longs for us to be who He created
us to be. Be bold as you enter into the days ahead.
Under His Wing: The Year of Clashing Swords!
These are critical times that require us to think differently. At the
end of the Feast of Tabernacles, the Lord visited me and asked many questions.
Any time the Lord wants us to think differently, He asks a question and waits
for our answer. This is how critical thinking works. Here is a list of questions
for you to meditate on before the Lord that will cause you to think differently
in days ahead. This prayer focus will cause your faith to go to the next dimension.
May you enlarge your way of thinking and increase your faith in 2007. Meditate
and give Him an answer to the following.
28 Days to Transform Your Thinking for the Year Ahead!
This prayer focus will take you through the month of February. Many of the
days require you to answer a question the Lord is asking. Record your thoughts.
Meditate upon His word so you break the power of limitation from your life
and renew your mind!
Day 1: Read Proverbs 3. Lean not on your own understanding. Ask the Lord for your strategy of giving this year. Ask Him to fill your storehouses.
Day 2: Read Romans 8. Declare that your mind will submit to your spirit-man. Ask the Lord to fill your spirit with the Holy Spirit.
Day 3: Read Luke 18:35-43. Notice the question. Answer this as if you were the blind man being asked by Jesus... “What do you want ME to do for YOU?”
Day 4: Read 2 Kings 4, Mark 8:1-10. What do you HAVE that the Lord can USE? Reevaluate your resources and let the Lord reveal strategies for multiplication.
Day 5: Read I Kings 17, Luke 14:25-33. Will you put ME FIRST? Many times we fail the test of prioritizing our loyalty. Sometimes we must give first before our resources multiply.
Day 6: Read Matthew 26:31-35. Who are you really connected with? Will you stand with those who the Lord has connected you to? Reevaluate all of your connections and alignments.
Day 7: Read Luke 5:1-11. Is your net mended? Will you let the Lord direct you into a new place? Are you ready for the call that He has for your future?
Day 8: Read Luke 5:12-16. Will you boldly pursue the Lord and allow Him to touch you in a new way?
Day 9: Read Isaiah 6, John 21. Have you surrendered to your call? Are you willing to be touched so you speak in a new way?
Day 10: Read Mark 8:22-26. Could you tolerate being SPIT ON? Are you so conventional that an unconventional method of change would offend you?
Day 11: Read Mark 7:24-30. Are you OK to begin with the CRUMBS? Many of us are unwilling to take whatever we can get to start into a new season.
Day 12: Mark 9:33-37. Are you arguing over where you fit? Are you attempting to exalt yourself instead of waiting to be positioned properly? Is spiritual ambition driving you?
Day 13: Read 2 Samuel 5:1-16. Are YOU willing to go up the WATER SPOUT? The Lord has ways to determine who will be the leaders of the future.
Day 14: Read Luke 16:1-13 Are you more SHREWD than the world? Are you single-minded?
Day 15: Read Luke 13:10-17. Are you bent over or standing UPRIGHT? Has Satan weakened you in a way that keeps you from advancing?
Day 16: Read 1 Chronicles 21. Who will correct you?
Day 17: Matthew 25:1-13. This is a year of the lampstand. Is your Lamp or Candle TRIMMED?
Day 18: Mark 9:14-29. Can you BELIEVE? Are you without faith in some areas?
Day 19: Read 2 Kings 8. Are you cutting your losses and MOVING ON? If so, you will see the Lord bring back what you have lost.
Day 20: Read Acts 12. Are you ready to open the door for the next move of God? Are you ready to see your prayers answered?
Day 21: Read Acts 19:1-7. Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?
Day 22: Read 1 Thessalonians 5:12-23, James 5. Is your fire BURNING?
Day 23: Read Psalm 100, Genesis 26, Numbers 20:14-21. Are you willing to dig a new well and move on? Spend the day praising Him so that wells that have been shut up in your life will spring up. Get past anger, enmity, and contention. Build a new altar of worship.
Day 24: Read Luke 10:25-37. Will you stop along your way to help someone else?
Day 25: Read Genesis 12-15, 26, 28. How shall you inherit your promises? The Lord has your portion and your blessings. Let Him point you into faith.
Day 26: Read Isaiah 54. Do you see the weapons formed against you?
Day 27: Read Jeremiah 32, 33. Is there anything too hard for God? Call out to Him in a new way.
Day 28: Read Joshua 5, Daniel 1. Fast as the Lord leads you and expect visitation.
Happy New Year, and may you think critically in these critical times ahead. Receive a FINISHING ANOINTING to finish or complete those things that need to be completed in your life!
Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce
