Historic Zambia Report! The River Continues to Rise! Be REVIVED! Special Revival Week Ahead!

Thursday, June 26, 2008

Dear Friends, Intercessors and Zion Aligned:

ZAMBIA, a Nation Reconciled for Transformation.  Thank you so much for praying for our time in Zambia.  Rarely are we privileged to see nation-changing history unfold before our very eyes! An entire nation was impacted by our time there.  Because you have prayed and been a part of this trip, I want to impart and release back to you the ability to break stubborn curses over areas in your lives and bloodlines that have been resistant for years.

The meeting in Lusaka had 15 nations represented. We were privileged to prophesy and minister to the nations. Many key leaders throughout the nation of Zambia attended.  Invitations were also sent to government leaders and several accepted the invitation.  On Wednesday night Apostle Kure and I ministered together in non-stop services from 4 PM until 9 PM.  Kure began the meetings by declaring, “The time is NOW for the Curse of Canaan to lift from Africa.” We began by prophetically participating in a Salt Covenant.  I explained why God chose a salt covenant, and revealed biblically the robbing power of a curse and how this was a time of New Beginnings. I taught how Elisha broke the curse from Jericho (2 Kings 2).

I was honored the next morning when I was introduced to the former President of the Nation. He had received and accepted his invitation to the meeting.  President Chiluba served in office from 1991 until 2001. I had remembered praying for him from 1993-1996. During that time, he made a public decree that Zambia was and would remain a Christian nation!  During those years, the church flourished. Near the end of his term in office, many accusations of corruption occurred and he left the office with a stigma of “not finishing well.” To this day, you can read allegations concerning him and his second wife in the newspaper. A reproach had infiltrated God’s Kingdom plan and the atmosphere of the nation.

On Thursday morning I began to teach on, “Seeing into a New Dimension.”  President Chiluba began to be visibly touched by the end of the service. He was invited to return last night. As he and his wife entered the meeting, applause rang forth.  The meeting began with Apostle Kure speaking, and was followed by an incredible testimony from two women leaders from Kenya, one of whom was the assistant to the President.  She had actually followed our prayer guides and received a word I had given while in Nigeria in 2005.  The word I had given concerning war in Kenya had manifested on the day that it was predicted.  Through the prayer meetings led by these two women, the course of this recently tribal, war torn nation is beginning to turn. Sister Mary had been on the team with Anne Tate a couple of years ago when she prayed in Kenya.  Since then, the night watch has been a part of their lives and the prayers during these watches are turning a nation.

Next, we commissioned the host of the gathering, Bishop Edgar, a seasoned saint, as an apostle in Zambia. This was a ground-breaking event.  We also commissioned four young apostles and sent them back to South Africa. I then anointed a key apostolic leader from Ivory Coast as well as five young leaders from Botswana.  I finally taught on “Someone Has to Overthrow the Curse - It Might as Well be Me!” 

When I returned to my seat and handed the microphone back to Kure, the events that unfolded were incredible.  President Chiluba was affected greatly by the message. Apostle Kure called the former Vice President and the former President to the platform. He began to reiterate the events that had occurred over the years. He encouraged the former President and declared that God would extend mercy to him because of his stand to make Zambia a Christian nation in the midst of a tumultuous, chaotic world. Then something that you rarely see in history happened.  Emmanuel asked the former President if he would kneel to ask forgiveness. The Spirit of God must have communicated to him that his day of redemption was at hand because the former President knelt and asked forgiveness for anything he did to bring a reproach to the Kingdom of God and the people of God while he was in office. Words will never explain how the Spirit of God came, touched people, and released a mantle of forgiveness. His wife began to wail as Deborah DeGar ministered to her. I then was taken to a room where I prayed privately with the man for restoration. The Spirit of grace rested on him and his wife. Whether all accusations through the years were true or politicized, the real issue was that the humility of a civil leader before God liberated the future of a nation.  I saw with my eyes how a nation and God’s people could be healed.

We are presently flying from Zambia, through Ethiopia, 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.  (This area is much more dangerous than some of the areas that we go to, so please pray.)

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 advance God’s Kingdom plan in the nations of the earth.

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.  Aaron Smith and other musicians will be leading this dynamic time of violent praise and declaration.  Patti Waterbury will then be sharing on “No Futile Waiting!”  We will follow this with vibrant worship led by John Dickson and LeAnn Squier, with Robert Heidler continuing his series on The River is Rising!  Over the next few weeks Robert and I will be looking at the implications and effects of the changing course of the River of God.

Revival Meeting in Denton on Wednesday, July 3
Keith Miller, who has been holding revival meetings in Dallas and who leads many awakening meetings throughout Texas, called to let me know that he and Todd Bentley would be doing a North Texas awakening time on Wednesday, July 3.  Keith graciously asked if I would come and welcome the next move of God into North Texas.  The facility that they had planned to use in Dallas was not available.  Therefore, they have moved their meeting to Denton, to the University of North Texas Coliseum.  Go to www.sfwm.org for more information.

We are in a move of God at Glory of Zion Ministries.  Those who come have been experiencing the Lord at an incredible new dimension.  So far this year we have baptized over 300.  The move of God that has been going on at Lakeland is a different type of move of God.  However, I am excited to welcome that move into the North Texas region.  Since I could not go to Lakeland, God is bringing that whole meeting to North Texas.  This will allow the Spirit of God to align what is already happening here with a different move of healing and evangelism.  If you plan to come, I would advise you to arrive early.

Firstfruits Weekend (July 5-6)
Our next monthly Firstfruits Gathering is on Saturday, July 5^th, 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 morning of Sunday, July 6, Keith Pierce and Cindy Jacobs will be ministering.  We are so excited that Cindy is able to come and be with us.  She always has a fresh word.  Through the years Cindy has been instrumental in releasing prophecies that have helped us in Denton to break through into a new level.  Recently in Denton, the largest Bible Church leader began to teach on “women in ministry.”  I have always been so honored to be associated with the best women ministers in the world.  They are fully welcome in Denton to minister, by the Spirit, the Word of the Lord. 

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 Deliverance Protocol and Building Your Hedge of Protection: The Holy Spirit and the Ministry of Deliverance.  Robert and Linda have also prepared several activations for you who are in ministry training.  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 Body 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.
