Firstfruits Saturday Night and Chuck Pierce speaking on Gain Momentum and Build Again! |
|
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
While in California on Sunday, I was able to log into the webcast of the first service. Pam's message on Simplify was incredible. You can go to the webstore to purchase the CD or visit the MP3 Store to download that message. The Lord is working with us in this season to make us aware of encumbrances in our everyday lives. When we simplify, we remove the complexities of life that would slow us down and prevent us from flourishing and moving forward.
I have a new book that will be released in March. Interpreting the Times, published by Charisma House, explains how to process and redeem time. This is a Year of Momentum! Several times I have been asked aboutthe election. My answer has been, Whoever is moving with momentum by February, and then in April, will be who to watch. I have also commented that unless we, as God's people, gain momentum and become a force in the earth, we will not have the power to shift this election to reflect the perfect will of God for this nation. Here was the caption in one paper: Sen. John McCain won Florida's Republican primary on Tuesday, apparently ending Rudy Giuliani's hopes for the GOP presidential nomination and taking a critical victory over Mitt Romney in the battle for momentum as the campaign turns to Super Tuesday.
All 8's are linked with momentum. An object with momentum is difficult to stop. To stop such an object, it is necessary to apply a force against its motion for a given period of time. The more momentum an object has, the less likely it is to stop its forward motion. This will be a year when forces vie for momentum. God will be moving on us! Will we respond to Him? The enemy forces that we have not resisted will be moving with force to slow down a Kingdom that is advancing in the earth realm. We must not allow the voices of fear, unbelief and doubt to stop us from advancing. The violent are taking the Kingdom of Heaven by force. We are under the impulsion, or driving force, of a King. We must gain momentum now! The more momentum an object has, the harder it is to stop. Thus, it would require a greater amount of force or a longer amount of time (or both) to bring an object with more momentum to a halt. As the force acts upon the object for a given amount of time, the object's velocity is changed, and hence, the object's momentum is changed.
Most of us understand this concept of momentum from driving an automobile. When I was learning to drive, which I did at a very young age, I had to learn some hard lessons. We all know that we need an amount of time from applying a car's brakes until the car is actually stopped. This is a principle of momentum. The first vehicle I drove was a five speed stick shift truck. I got going and kept going until one of the telephone poles that was used for our horse training arena stopped me. I had to learn the power ratio of vehicle to man. I still have a very healthy respect for a car's power.
Once things get in motion, they are hard to stop. The Body of Christ is advancing. The Kingdom is advancing. The violent are taking the kingdom of heaven by force. There are certain changes creating motion that cannot be stopped. The kingdom of darkness must give way to the Kingdom of God that is advancing with new strength. The supernatural power of God being released on His people is creating much motion and change in the earth. We are under the impulsion or driving force of a King that wants to see change in the world today. As we learn to move in our proper spheres of authority in the earth realm, we will harness Gods power, and when we release that power, transformation will occur in cities and nations. This is the time for us to see how to shift gears against our enemies and move forward.
We must have a clear trumpet sound and release of revelation at this time in history. Jesus said that He would build His Church on revelation. He also said He would give us the keys to the Kingdom and the gates of hell would not prevail against us. This prophetic word that He gave to Peter is still working in His people today. The Spirit of God has a goal for us. That goal is to occupy or take possession of the portion or sphere of authority that we each have been allotted. How we steward our possessions that God has given us is key to our future. We must remember that when God promised Abraham a land, within that promise were all the enemies of that land. Therefore, many times in order to take possession of something, we must first go to war. We must learn to follow our King into battle and establish His dominion within each one of our assignments.
I am decreeing that you GAIN MOMENTUM AND GET PAST ALL the BLOCKADES that are hindering you from going through your new GATES!
