Beware! The Enemy is Manipulating Your Emotions! |
|
Thursday, February 21, 2008
Dear Friends, Intercessors and Zion Aligned:
The prophecy below is very important. Reject all discouragement that is attempting to rob you of your momentum! I am completing the next 8-Day Prayer Focus, so look for that in the next few days. I am excited about this Sunday at Glory of Zion. Joseph Pierce will be sharing a portion of his testimony and Robert Heidler will be back to teach! And don't miss our OPENING THE GATES OF HEAVEN March Firstfruits Conference with JoAnn McFatter and Paul Keith Davis on March 7-8! JoAnn and Paul Keith will also be a part of the Issachar School beginning on March 6. Contact our office to register for both the Opening the Gates of Heaven Conference as well as the Going Through the Gates with Worship Issachar School Course by calling (888) 965-1099 or (940) 382-7231. Both of these are also available by webcast.
This past week while we were worshipping it was as if the Lord gave me supernatural vision and I saw our emotions. I could see that the enemy had made ploys against God's saints to block feelings in us, to stop us from gaining new zeal in the Lord. I saw Satan and his forces had erected hidden snares and were creating offenses to wound our well-being and capture our soul expressions, causing us to stumble and lose momentum. Our longing comes from the power of our desire, locked in our emotions. While the Spirit of God is creating a desire for the NEW, the enemy is attempting to ensnare us with old patterns, remove our creative unction, and bring many distractions into our lives. We must rise up now and say, I've got to have You to help me press through into this new place. Reorder my focus so I can pinpoint the enemy movements around me!
During the service, the Spirit of God began to speak the following:
Some of you are voicing that you have been destined to live at the foot of the mount. But I AM saying to you that I Am sending revelation to open your eyes and give you new vision. I hear many of you saying, I see the vision for my future but I have no strength to climb the mount and stake my claim on that which you have shown me. But hear Me NOW! I will cause you to be energized in the night and I will come to you with dreams. I will surprise you with visions in the day and your power naps will begin to produce light to guide you and energy that will cause you to arise and pursue My plan.
Your body, though it seems deadened and locked in a metabolic freeze, will begin to move in a new way, for this is a time of movement. During the next 60 days there will be much movement going on. The enemy has many ploys to stop you from advancing. You will think in your heart that you cannot attain the new place and you will feel like you have been left behind, but I will surprise you with Grace. Then you will say, What I didn't think I could attain, I now can grasp! I have positioned you at the foot of the mount to create a waiting strength in you. You will see Me in a new way when I come to lead you forward. You will feel a new stirring within your emotions. You may weep, but you will experience joy! I will have a people that must come up now! I AM beginning to knock on your door. In the next two months, do not hesitate!
I AM calling you up to a new place. There are avalanches that are forming and you must come above them to decree what I've shown you as you've waited at the foot of the mount this last season. If you will make your shift in these next two months to come up, you will save many from much destruction! The place that you've been positioned in this past season has created an anxiety within you over your future. You know that change is coming, yet you are anxious over the unknown. Let the anxiety die away. Praise Me this season and watch Me lead you up and overtake that which you have been fearing to overtake.
You have secured your place long enough where you are. Now I AM beginning to bring strength from My right arm to place in your right hand. I AM causing your left hand to rise up with new strength. I will mount up with wings of eagles. You will move in and fly. Awaken, Awaken! Many have made their camp at the base of the mountain because the river and the water supply are there. However, do not stay in the complacency of last season, waiting for the provision before you start your journey to the new heights pack now and arise! Your provision is waiting at the next level. The river is making an unusual turn upwards. The course of the river is beginning to change. Jump in and go up! A new height, a new momentum and a new strength will enter your soul. Grab your bags and arise. Do not sit any longer in a low place. Arise! Arise! Arise, for your provision will come from level to level and height to height. Receive the grace to go up. Let grace abound. This is a season of super-abounding grace. These next two months you must receive GRACE!
I'd like you to pray for the son of one of our Board Members of Glory of Zion International. James Keller's son, John, was in a very severe motorcycle accident on Sunday afternoon, and remains in critical condition. Please join us in praying that he recover completely. Many of you have also been praying for Doris Wagner's foot. (She had reconstructive surgery in December.) Her doctors are pleased with how the foot is healing as well as how the infection is receding. So in addition to praying for John Keller, pray for the complete healing of Doris' foot.

Key Resources for This Season
Taking the Night: Dreams, Visions and the Night Watches
| |
|
|
Dreams and visions are one of the primary ways that God has always used to communicate with His people. However, they are often misunderstood, dismissed, or ignored. All dreams have some level of significance in our lives, and it is important to invite the Lord into the process of determining what the level of significance of each dream may be. To block this release of revelation, the enemy tries to control and direct the night season. However, this is a time that the Body of Christ is rising up to watch in a new way. The Taking the Night: Dreams, Visions and the Night Watches Conference will help you reorder your day to learn the importance and power in receiving revelation from the Lord in the night season. This 7-CD set includes messages from Jane Hamon, Barbie Breathitt, Robert Heidler and Chuck D. Pierce on the significance of dreams, the power of symbols, why God uses mysteries to communicate revelation, types of dreams, and what to do with bad dreams. Also included is revelation from Chuck Pierce on the monthly blessing of the Hebrew month Av as well as Eitan Shishkoffs message on the mystery of the olive tree and Jew and Gentile coming together.
