Key Encouraging Prophecy and 8-Day Prayer Focus Clarification!

April 10, 2008

Dear Friends:

I hope all is well with you today. We had a very stormy night in Texas but I am now on my way to Ft. Walton Beach, Florida for the Watchman Conference at Christian International. 

After reviewing the 8-Day Prayer Focus and consulting with our friends in Israel on the best way to communicate the significance of this month, I wanted to clarify the statement regarding the command to call the first month Nisan.  A better way to express this directive is that this month was to be the beginning (or first) of months for the Israelites.  The LORD used this month as the reference point of the BEGINNING of the journey of His covenant people toward the Promise He had been waiting for them to attain for over 400 years.  I believe He has been waiting on us to begin our new beginning as well, and NOW IS THE TIME!

Let me also encourage you with this prophetic revelation that came forth this past week:

You have stood and stood firm, and resisted and resisted hard. You cried out to Me, Lord, how much longer can I stand with a steadfast face?  Hear Me now!  I am coming up, up through the earth realm into your body. I am coming down, down from the Heavens into your atmosphere. I will electrify you. Because of your faithfulness and because of your perseverance, now you will become MY lightning rod for this season. Many will come to you and say: Let me be recharged! Let me be recharged! Let me be recharged!

You are one that has endured, and now because of your endurance, you will change many!  My eyes are roaming to and fro. I am in the process of creating positions and repositioning. Some of you have been disenchanted with where you are for there were occult spirits that were holding you in your old place. Now the veil has dropped.  I will position you for the future.

Keep standing and waiting for Me. Though you've been bent over, and though a spirit of infirmity has tried to weaken you, now you will stand tall again! I am having My people stand straight. From what you have endured, you will now have a testimony that will cause many to be delivered. Stand up! Stand up and watch those spirits of infirmity flee!

I have caused winds to be stirring in the heavens above you. Now those winds will touch down. I will now reveal to you the desert forces around you that have been hidden and the blockades that have been stopping you.  I am swirling the deserts.  I am causing water systems that have been held down deep below the surface to rise to the top. I am in a creative mode! What has not come into focus will now be created, and you will see.

(I then heard the Lord tell me stop and address the San Antonio area as an example of what He was doing in all of our territories.)

When you see the floods raging and the river rising in San Antonio, you will know that I have come into Texas in a new way. I am going to rearrange My church in San Antonio and there will be a new move of God in that city. Watch with Me.  I AM now contending for many man-made floodgates. Man has tried to gauge and even direct the flow of My Spirit. Now I am going to open those man-made floodgates and reestablish the gates that will open up My glory to come in this hour. Allow those things that have been closed and controlled by you to now be given over to Me.  I will open up some places that you have never gone into. The River of God is changing in the earth realm.  I AM calling it forth like I did when I called the mist out of the earth. This is a creative season for ME to rearrange your ministries and your lives.

In these three weeks that you are in, I am rearranging your territories. I am causing the assignments set against you to shake loose and fall. You will see the enemy's plans during these three weeks. Allow Me to bring the flood from Heaven's gates!  Stand, for the flood will not overtake you nor will the fire rage against you and burn you!  I will give you the key to the gate that you've been asking for. You will go in! The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. This is a time to be wise, for you must redeem time. I will give you keys and understanding during this hour. You will be recouping lost time these three weeks. I will give you nuggets on how to move quickly and how to move in. And you will find yourself being efficient to accomplish in these times more than you've accomplished in the past. Receive the anointing I am bringing! I am reordering your path.

Special Passover Service on Sunday, April 20
I believe that it is very important for us to understand the concept of this time of year.  This month is linked with both Passover and the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  If you will notice, we made little emphasis of the national celebration of Easter because its timing was so far off from Passover and the true understanding of the power of the Blood shed to redeem us.  Therefore, we will be hosting a memorable Passover Sunday with a special service Sunday night to better understand our call to move forward into the next season.  We will have examples of the Passover Seder during the Sunday night service that begins at 6:00 PM.  All of you on joining us on the web will want to prepare a hard boiled egg, some bitter herbs (either horseradish or parsley soaked in saltwater), lamb (or some chicken but not a lot, since you need to eat all you have!), and red wine or grape juice.  Like never before, I believe as we continue in this season of new beginnings that we must understand the principles of Passover and Jesus of Nazareth's blood shed on our behalf.  There is no charge or registration to join this service in person or by webcast.  (Go to www.gloryofzion.org and click on the webcast icon for details.)

I will be ministering on The Ark is in Procession: Prepare for the Glory!At 10:15 AM, our corporate worship service will begin with John Dickson leading worship and Marty Cassady ministering on The Sons of Zadok.On Friday night at 9:00 PM (CDT), don't forget our Midnight Prayer Watch that will be led by Cuc Dao and accompanied by various musicians.  This will be available by webcast.

Two Key Resources for this Season of Crossing Over

Interpreting the Times by Chuck D. Pierce 
Interpreting the Times carries the message of what I represent in the Body of Christ: the Issachar Anointing. This book will give you an idea of what it takes to make it through narrow transitions. If ever we needed to understand GOD in our time and space, it is NOW!  This book will move you to understand the "process of time" that may presently be controlling you, into seeing your way into a place of future victory!  In Interpreting the Times, you will understand that even though we may make a mistake in one season, the LORD makes us capable of redeeming the times or buying back wasted time. This book will also help move you to stop viewing time as a philosophy or a curse and instead begin seeing it as a real gift from God. Special price $10 (regularly $14)


Judah Goes First!  (Firstfruits Weekend for Nisan)
These are intense but glorious times throughout the world.  The Church is arising from nation to nation.  I am seeing a hunger for prophetic revelation. This will give us vision of what God is doing this hour (Proverbs 29:18). Without prophetic revelation, we lose our way.  In this season, a major shift is coming in the way we worship and acknowledge God corporately.  We have entered the first month in a year of New Beginnings. This 2-DVD set captures the sound and expression of the worship that God is releasing from Heaven to Earth!  I was amazed at the different expressions of worship and sound being released during our Friday night and Sunday morning gatherings. Not only was the worship prophetic, but it was generational.  The prophecies, the new songs that break old cycles, and the enemy strongholds addressed through worship were all powerfully captured on these DVDs.  Judah Goes First is something you will want to listen to over and over again!  

God's sound permeates from Heaven and orders much of what goes on in the earthly realm. When He is ready to bring restoration to Earth, He releases His sound.  Judah goes first!  Judah roars!  The roar of God is within us.  Judah means Praise Yahweh.  Do not resist the major shift that is re-creating the way we worship and corporate acknowledgment of God. Yahweh signifies the God of covenant. This is a month when our praise and worship is important to the LORD. This is also a time when we begin to value the covenant that He has allowed us to enter into with Him. What a price He paid to give us access to the Throne Room. Our worship will take on great covenant significance at this time, and release great blessings into the earthly realm.

This is a time when the burning bush, I AM, type of worship is coming into the midst of God's people. This will release a deliverance call across the Earth.  When the ROAR of the Lord goes forth, a prophetic mantle falls (Amos 3). Let loose the Roar of the Lord that is deep within you.  This will enable you to hear clearly for your future.  In this time when our praise must be preeminent, ask for His anointing to open your ears.  Hear the sound of Heaven in a new way, rise up a shout of praise, and allow the Lord to break all hidden grief that has kept your joy capped.  ($20)
