The Rivers are Rising: A Time to Understand the Rivers!

June 20, 2008

Dear Friends, Intercessors and Zion Aligned:

With all the waters rising and rivers flowing, we must have revelation on how to interpret the times we are living in. This Sunday we will be starting a new series on the “The Kingdom River”. In the Bible, running water or the flow of water represents life.  "Rivers" and "waters" are used to symbolize:

  1. Abundance, life and life abundantly (Jn. 7:38)
  2. The flowing Grace of God (Ps. 36:8; 46:4; Is. 32:2; 41:18)
  3. Peace (Is. 66:12)
  4. Good things of life (Job 20:17; 29:6)
  5. God's Providence (Is. 43:19-20); the fruitfulness of trees planted by rivers is figurative of the permanent prosperity of the righteous (Ps. 1:3; Jer. 17:8).

However, rivers can also be related to affliction (Ps. 69:2; Is. 43:2) or God's judgments (Is. 19:1-8; Jer. 51:36; Nah. 1:4; Zech. 10:11). Judgments can be represented by a river drying up or overflowing (Is. 8:7-8; 28:2,17; Jer. 47:2) and moving outside of its originally intended boundaries.  How the water gushes or flows indicates a message from the heavenly realm by the Father-God of creation to His people. We will be teaching on all of this in days ahead.  How to enter the “Harvest Waters” is of utmost importance to understand at this time in history.

This Sunday at Glory of Zion Outreach Center (June 22)
We will begin at 9 AM with “The Power of Lift”.  This is a dynamic time where we ascend in worship and descend in war.  Micah Bailey and other musicians will be leading this dynamic time of violent praise and declaration, and I will be leading intercession to release the sound of the new day.  We will follow this with vibrant worship led by Aaron and Tiffany Smith, and with Robert Heidler ministering on The Rising River and The Kingdom! Robert and I will be looking at the implications and effects of the changing course of the River of God. Our schedule for the week ahead is:

Saturday, June 21

Sunday, June 22

Monday, June 23

Tuesday, June 24

AFRICA … The Eagles of God Fly to Zambia and Nigeria (June 22 – July 1)

On Sunday afternoon I will leave on my next Eagles of God assignment to Zambia and Nigeria.  Joining me will be Joseph Askins, Diane Buker, Deborah DeGar, Brian Kooiman, Ginny Marks, John & Sheryl Price, Keith Simpson and Anne Tate.  While in Lusaka, Zambia on June 24-25, I will minister at a multinational gathering with a large number of leaders from Zambia as well as the surrounding nations.  There will also be a time of commissing and sending out apostolic leaders.

From Zambia we fly on to Nigeria for meetings in Kafanchan where Apostle Emmanuel Kure’s ministry, Throneroom (Trust) Ministry, is located.  This will be another large gathering of well over 5,000 where I will be asked to bring the Word of the Lord for a  nation and region.  We will end our time in Nigeria with a gathering in the capital city of Abuja.  People from all across the nation and surrounding nations will be in attendance.  Please pray for an unlocking of revelation that will shift the course of peoples, nations and continents.   Please also pray for our strength, health, communications, and focus - that we “hit the mark” to advanced God’s Kingdom plan in the nations of the earth.

Our schedule is:

Firstfruits Weekend (July 5-6)
Our next monthly Firstfruits Gathering is on Saturday, July 5th at 7:00 PM.  At that time we will release the Hebraic blessings surrounding the month of Tamuz.  This is the month of the letter CHET in the year of Samekh Chet, and the month to see and establish the brilliance of your righteousness.  There is no registration needed for this gathering, in person or by webcast. 

On the afternoon of Sunday, July 6, we will have our monthly Ministry Training from 2-5 PM.  Robert and Linda Heidler will teach on Setting the Captives Free: The Holy Spirit and the Ministry of Deliverance.  They will also have deliverance teams prepared to minister.  To register, please call (888) 965-1099 or (940) 382-7231.  The cost is $10 per person.  If you would like to join by webcast, you will need to register online via our MP3Store.  The cost is $10.

Issachar School Course: The Heavenly Realms (July 7-8)
Following our Firstfruits Weekend will be our next Issachar School Course, The Heavenly Realms: Worshiping in the Three Heavens.  We must enter a new dimension!  One of the least understood areas in the Boyd of Christ is the three heavens.  We will be teaching on the heavenly realms, how to move into a new dimension, and what God is saying in those realms.  I would love to call this class, “Come Up Here!”, since that best represents what God is saying this year.  Come expecting to understand heaven’s realms in a different way.  We will also be entering into worship in this class as part of this month of advancing. 

This course will meet on Monday and Tuesday from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM (with a lunch break).   For more information on this course, or to register for this 4 Training Unit class, please call 1-888-965-1099 or go to www.gloryofzion.org/issachar.   If you have a high-speed internet connection and would like to register for this live, online course, then click here.

JUST RELEASED! An ABSOLUTE MUST! NEW CD: FREED TO ENTER THE GLORY REALM! 

 

 

I have never been more excited about the release of a CD than Freed to Enter the Glory Realm.  This CD by the Glory of Zion International Worship Team is a spontaneous expression of heaven and earth.  In a year of new beginnings, this CD is a new beginning!  The sounds and releases captured here represent the apostolic prophetic stream we are moving in.  This CD had no limitations as we wove together new songs, prophetic declarations, night prayer watches, spontaneous releases and much more.  I am so grateful for what the Lord is allowing us to present to Him as a Pentecost Firstfruits offering with the release of this CD.  You will want to order Freed too Enter the Glory Realm to help propel you in a new realm of freedom and increased momentum. 

Songs include:

Special Introductory Price: $10 (regularly $15)


We are also beginning to release individual tracks for purchase on our MP3 store.  This week we are debuting the song “Dry Bones.”  This is a time to prophesy to the dry bones!  The dry bones are shaking, the ground is quaking, and moisture is covering the earth in a new way.  Let the sounds and lyrics of this single stir your faith and cause you to prophesy life to the dry bones in your territory.  Special: $0.99 (regularly $1.29).
