There is a GLORY in You That Must AWAKEN!!!

June 13, 2008

Dear Friends, Intercessors and Zion Aligned:

For the first time in history we celebrated Pentecost 2008, 5768.  I also enjoyed my best birthday ever. I want to thank each of you for the cards, letters, wonderful gifts, and just the joy of us being connected.  Being 55 has a great benefit in that I was blessed to read Isaiah 55 again and have the Lord remind me “that His ways are not my ways”!  You have a GLORY in you that the Lord is trying to unlock. You are being reformed so that GLORY can be seen by others and you become favored to transform your sphere.

Most of all, I want to thank the Spirit of God for His sovereign move during our Pentecost Gathering.  You will want to get the set of DVD’s! (see below) Also, the new CD, “Freed to Enter the Glory Realm”, is just a must!  You will want to sit, listen, meditate and embrace the revelation, spontaneous songs and faith realm from the writers and worshippers at GZI.  LeAnn Squier brings the Song of the Ages down from Heaven! (see below for details)

On Saturday afternoon, I was privileged to lead 200 people into the baptismal waters! These were individuals who had just come to know the Lord or had never been baptized or knew they needed a clean conscience as they ended one season and stepped into a new beginning. Because of the heat of the day, I ended the day with a radiant sunburn. Every time I remove a layer of old skin, I am reminded of how the Lord is peeling layer after layer of the old from us.

THE SPOON OF GOD IS STIRRING THIS LAND. One word that came forth this past weekend had to do with the Lord “taking His spoon and stirring the mud of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and other states in the Midwest/central part of our nation.” I saw the mud and the Lord said, “I will take My spoon and stir and stir and reform this portion of our nation.” This was on Friday.  Then the rains began. Here is a word from Francis Frangipane:

As some of you are aware, we are experiencing major flooding here in Iowa, especially in downtown Cedar Rapids, but also in other communities as well. The flooding here is at "historic" levels, yet it is still mostly limited to areas along the rivers in Cedar Rapids. As I write, I was just notified that Homeland Security has just closed the main highways and bridges into and through Cedar Rapids.  This weather/flooding is being hailed as a ‘500 year flood.’" 

After releasing this Word from the Lord, I went to “Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation”. This is the only historic, prophetic book we have.  I reviewed the prophecies recorded over these central states. When Dutch Sheets and I went to Wisconsin, the Lord said, “This will be my RIVER STATE. Watch when all the rivers rise!”  If you do not have this book, I encourage you to purchase a copy and use it as a prayer and watchman guide.  These are such interesting times.

I have been meditating on the power of our Creator to create. The hovering power of the Spirit of God and the speaking voice of our Creative Lord can break any power of chaos around us and create a new order out of our confusion.  If you do not know Him, know that He created you with a purpose and desires to commune with you. He is the Executive Director of the earth. Many of us do not recognize that all that happens in our lives will work toward His best and will become of ultimate benefit to us if we will only submit and praise. The more you align with His creative power, the less anxiety you will experience. Listen deeply within your heart and spirit for His voice. All He does is for your good. If you will listen, you will sense a peace that goes beyond any human calmness.

We must guard ourselves from high levels of stress. Many of our health problems are a result of stress and anxiety. If we will listen to and submit ourselves to Him in the chaotic situations, circumstances, and overall atmospheric upheavals, we will find our lives aligning with the God who created us who can work order in the midst of confusion.  We must strive to experience joy in doing His will. Remove discouragement from your vocabulary! If you will do that, you will find that the flaws in your character and your faulty self-image will realign with God’s best. You will then have strength to reach goals you could never attain through human reasoning, self-evaluations, and personal judgments.  This is a season for you to see the best that the Lord has placed in you.

This Tuesday in prayer, the Lord gave me Psalm 16:5-11: “O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup! You maintain my lot. I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel.  My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.  I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices! My flesh also will rest in hope… You will show me the path of life! In Your presence is fullness of joy!”

You have a Glory in you that the Lord is calling forth. Let YOUR GLORY rejoice and watch the iniquities in your bloodline flee.  Read the chapter on “The Blood War” in God’s Unfolding Battle Plan.  We love and appreciate you. Please start praying for my trip to Africa (Zambia and Nigeria) from June 22 – July 1.  If you would like to give to the ongoing mission of Glory of Zion International Ministries, please click here or call (888) 965-1099 or (940) 382-7231 to give by credit card.

NEW!  Be Revived Anointing Oil and Candle


 

Revival is in earth’s atmosphere!  Because the anointing breaks the yoke, we have sought the Lord on the ingredients needed for a revival fire anointing oil and candle.  The first aspect of Revived is “awakening”.  We use costmary, an original herb used by the colonists to stay alert and awake.  The second ingredient we incorporate is pomegranate, representing healing, overcoming and prosperity.  The third ingredient is “harvest”.  This is a mixture of botanicals which represent the fullness of unlocking the harvest fields.  There is a boldness that God is bringing on His people to pray over others.  We must come alive and be bold witnesses in this hour.  Be revived and use this oil to “break the yoke” as you minister to others.  Roll-on Anointing Oil $10; Candle: $12; Roll-on Anointing Oil + Candle: $20.


Pentecost 2008/5768: Ringing the Bells of Harvest – Special DVD Included
Pentecost is the Feast we celebrate to experience great harvest and an increase in revelation, joy and supply.  The prophetic revelation that came forth at this gathering from Barbara Yoder, Ray Hughes, Robert Heidler, Diane Buker, John & Sheryl Price, and Chuck Pierce is historic.  A special DVD from a Tuesday Morning Early Prayer Meeting where we “heard the bells of Heaven” is included. When Ray Hughes arrived at the conference, his message was, “The Bells of Heaven are Ready to Ring!” This was just amazing.  ($70 for the DVD set) To order please call (888) 965-1099.
