A Worship Shift, Overcome Your Enemies and Gain a Heart of Momentum! |
|
Thursday, February 7, 2008
Dear Friends, Intercessors and Zion Aligned:
Please read this email carefully. We are offering many things via the web now so you can join in during the week as well as on Sunday. Our goal is for us to stay as connected as possible and keep your faith built as we move forward in this season.
I love the teaching and revelation that is brought forth in each of the Issachar School classes. Robert Heidler and I just completed a course on New Weapons for New Warfare. As we approach the end of a seven-year war season and prepare to begin a new war season with new levels of contention and resistance, we taught on the spiritual weapons we are given as well as the issues that we will face in the years ahead.
During the class, I asked LeAnn Squier to share the following dream she had early on Monday morning: "In my dream, a group of us were gathered in the living room of a house. A man dressed in a white T-Shirt and jeans came through the front double doors with a black sniper's rifle which included a high-powered scope. He first pointed the rifle threateningly at the group, and then pointed it at me. In a quiet manner, I asked him if it would be okay if we worshipped. He nodded yes. As we worshipped, we entered into a different realm. We became totally aware of God's presence in the room and totally unaware of the man's presence among us. The presence of God in our midst eclipsed everything else in the room. When we finished worshipping, the presence of God lifted and I could again see the room, the surroundings, and the man with the rifle still pointed at me. I had literally forgotten he was there while the presence of God was manifest; this man had been completely eclipsed by God's presence. I got up from the couch where I was sitting and walked gently over to talk to the man. I engaged him in a friendly conversation, and one of the other people with us joined in to talk to him. I looked down and noticed that he had laid his rifle down, and as I looked back up at him, a wide, relaxed smile had come across his face. I realized it had been a hostage situation but that he was now, in a sense, disarmed."
Through this dream I hear the Lord saying, Many enemies are in your midst and are even entering into the boundaries that I have given you. But I am calling you to come into this new place with Me so My presence fills the domain that I have given you. If you will begin to worship Me and allow your domain to be filled with My presence, then even the enemies that are targeting you will let go of their hostilities. They will be repositioned in your place of authority. This is a time when I am repositioning your enemies in your sphere of authority. If you will worship, then My presence will disarm the enemy's plan and that which the enemy had intent on doing, he will no longer be able to be accomplished. Worship is key to My Harvest plan. Many of the enemies that I bring into your path will be converted and become subservient in your domain. This is an hour of DOMINION! Take dominion through worship!
The New Song Breaks the Old Cycle!
We are excited to begin releasing spontaneous songs and revelation that are
coming forth from our weekly gatherings. Each week you will be able to download
a new song that breaks the old cycle from the MP3 Store. These
downloadable songs will be fresh, heavenly manna and strength for you and
will get in your spirit to help you maintain spiritual momentum this year!
The first song, A
Heart With Momentum with LeAnn Squier, Falma Rufus and me, is now
available. You can go to our MP3
Store to purchase the download or order it from our webstore and have
it mailed to you.
Glory of Zion Outreach Center: Sunday, February 10
This Sunday we must make a major shift. I just feel like something
has to move us on a new highway. We begin at 9 AM with "The Power of Lift".
This is a dynamic time where we ascend in worship and descend in war. Aaron
and Tiffany Smith, along with Micah Bailey, will be leading worship
for a full hour on Sunday. Keith Pierce, LeAnn Squier and others will be
interacting prophetically. In my spirit, this spontaneous time seems very
important. I feel Holy Spirit calling us to this time. The Law of Lift is
important this week to propel us into freedom and vision. At 10:15 AM, our
corporate worship service will begin. Robert Heidler will be ministering
on The Power of Proclamation: Decreeing the Word of the Lord!

Key Resources for This Season
A
Heart With Momentum with LeAnn Squier, Falma Rufus and Chuck D.
Pierce
This is a season that we must both watch our momentum shift, as well as gain
momentum. God's people must develop a heart of momentum. In other words,
we must embrace the momentum that He presents to us and then advance forward.
Just as at the Starting the Year Off Right Conference, the Spirit of God will
overwhelm you through the prophetic release of Heaven's sound coming down
to us and being captured by LeAnn Squier and Falma Rufus. Chuck Pierce then
prophesies the word that can go into your heart to help you so that you have
the strength to advance. You can go to our MP3 Store to purchase
the download for $1.99 or you can purchase this song on CD from our webstore
for $4.00.
NEW: Dominion! How Kingdom Action Can Change the World by C. Peter Wagner

It's a new day, and the Holy Spirit is giving a clear word to the church: TRANSFORM SOCIETY! As noted spiritual warfare and church growth authority Dr. C. Peter Wagner explains, the Holy Spirit is calling for a paradigm shift in the Church's approach to salvation and societal change. While examining the growing momentum of today's Second Apostolic Age, Dr. Wagner answers questions about the powerful strategies being revealed, including:
