Hear the Sound!
Chuck Pierce will minister Sunday!

May 30, 2008

Dear Friends, Intercessors and Zion Aligned:

This is a time that the Lord is doing a major work in the earth. Shaking and hovering are the two words I am hearing in my spirit.  I hear the Lord saying that He is hovering over New Orleans in a new way. I see Him hovering over Pittsburgh now. I see Him going up and down the Pacific coast of America and hovering. I see that He is going to begin to invade the Pacific Coast of this nation.  Both sides of Mexico are being invaded by the Spirit.  When I began to see this, I heard the Lord say: “There are three levels of sound I must bring through My people today. I must bring the sound of history that has caused their blood to remain flowing in Me and created the legacy of Me within the generations.  I must bring forth the sound of the present that is causing their blood to come alive and producing the power in them to persevere through circumstances and endure in their trials.  I must bring forth the sound of the future that will cause My people to have an expectation, an excitement of the power of My visitation and advancing glory in the earth.  I’m blending these three sounds right now, in this moment, to change the course of the earth realm.”

“Now is the day that I am destroying what has covered you in the past. I am lifting layers and veils from My people that have set reproaches in motion and blocked new entry ways. I will NOW rise up and cover you in a new way. My hands are clapping, so in the midst of your wreck and ruin, clap.  In the midst of your emotional struggle, clap. In the midst of your home, go through and clap and decree that what is not lit will light up.”  It’s like those “clap on” lights! All of a sudden, when you clap, a room will light up. The Spirit of God says, “Start clapping and decree the darkness that has held certain areas captive will begin to light up.”

“There are many who are not even seeking Me that I’m going to meet, surprise and rearrange their lives.  Call forth My hovering power over those that aren’t even aware I can hover over them. In the midst of the Earth I am looking for those who will say, ‘Here I am; here I am; I hear a sound calling me forth; here I am.’”

“There are sounds in the earth that you are not getting low enough to hear, and there’s a groaning.  All creation is groaning.  Humble yourself and get low enough to hear the sound. If you will get into that humble state before Me, you will see My hovering power; you will begin to hear what the ground under you is groaning, how you need to walk, and how you need to act. Put your ear to the ground for there are now sounds in the earth that are coming into agreement with Heaven. There are sounds in the land that need to be heard.  These sounds (from your iniquitous bloodline) have been deposited in the land your ancestors have walked.” 

“My earth has a heart that beats and you’ve not understood the power of creation.   You have lost the beating heart of creation.  Therefore, I cannot be creative in your midst.   I’ve put My voice in every living thing, but it is your voice that rules.  So in the midst of My voice groaning in other objects that can’t speak, you must speak for them.  I have seated you in heavenly places, but you must put your ear to the earth where you walk so that I can use you to bring into agreement, from My heavenly realm, that which I am longing to create in the earth. The deep uttered its voice and lifted its hands on high.”

“At certain times, lower your head before Me in submission, and if you will do that, you will rise and come into a new place of communion.  Do not keep your head raised above others at all times this week, for I am a God that will cause you to miss a certain blow, if you will stay before Me and at the right moment bend your knees, I will save you from experiencing a hit from the enemy this week.”

“Recognize the sound of creation that’s groaning, and let Me rise and bring your spirit man into agreement with the sound of the land and the hovering of My Spirit.  I’ve stretched out My hand in the midst of My hovering; I am extending My hand, and though you’ve not known My love, look up and grab hold of that which you don’t know and let Me pull you forward.  Fear not the sound of the shaking.  Fear not that place where I will cause you to be very aware and let you hear the shaking. Then you can announce what will shake and you will cause many to be sheltered in a new way.  Rise through the wreck and the ruin and the groaning that is around you. Rise and allow My Spirit that is hovering to rest on the earth, and you be My divine connector.”

Books to Help you Hear the Sound …

The Worship Warrior by Chuck D. Pierce and John Dickson


This is one of the few worship books that combines the ascent into a place of intimacy and the call to descend and war for harvest. Vision comes when we worship the Lord and gain revelation. This book is a must read to understand how to come near to God and overcome in the midst of warfare. We are in a time when the Spirit of the Lord is extending a call of worship to Believers in the earth realm. This call of God is releasing a sound from Heaven that is being embraced by people all over the earth. Sound is the key! Let your ears and spirit be trained to hear the sound. Worship Warrior helps you understand how to move from one faith dimension to another! ($14)  Also available in Spanish ($12)


Sound of Heaven, Symphony of Earth by Ray Hughes
What happens when the sounds of earth align with the sounds of heaven? Ray sheds light on thescience of sound and the spiritual significance of musical instruments including drums, shofars, and bells. ($8)

Releasing the Sounds of Heaven on Earth by Jim Hodges
It is time to bring worship to a new level – not simply introduce a new style, but to actually tap into the worship of heaven. Looking into the Word of God, especially the book of Revelation, Hodges helps unpack the heavenly model of worship.  Allow Releasing the Sounds of Heaven on Earth to move you from the earth realm into the heavenlies and the pattern that we must display in the Church for the future. ($8)


Music to Help you Hear the Sound …

Contending for Your New Beginning


This CD of the GZI Worship Team was released at the Starting the Year Off Right Conference.  Beginning with “The Swords will Contend” and ending with “Don’t Forget”, these 10 songs will stir your spirit and renew a zeal to war for the “new” the Lord has for you in 2008.  Allow the sound and words on this recording to “Expose You” and separate yourself for the King as a “Spotless Bride”.  Then get ready to “Clap Your Hands” and shout “Yes I Will” as you “Run to the Shadow” of the fiery angels’ wings. By the time you are done, your spirit man will be shouting “Let Me Outta Here” so you can “Shift” and be “Ready to Fly”!  Allow this CD to propel you into your new beginning.  ($12)


Releasing Angels by Meredith Mauldin



This debut CD from artist Meredith Mauldin includes the incredible song, “Release the Angels”.  Listen to this CD and join Heaven’s chorus in proclaiming, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done!”  ($12)


The Invitation by JoAnn McFatter, Steve Mitchell and Steve Swanson
Recorded live in Chicago in 2005, this CD captures the longing heart of God for His people.  His invitation is for every one of us to come into full revelation of His heavenly Kingdom.  Listen with an expectant heart and the words wash over you as you hear the voice of God calling you deeper.  ($11)
