24
Intense Days of Change! |
|
July 16, 2010
Dear Pressing Saints:
Please read this very carefully. The 24 days are important for us. As soon as I gave the word at Firstfruits on Saturday, there were big changes that began to happen.
This Sunday at Glory of Zion, Dr. Alemu Beeftu will minister in the second service. Along with great worship, Allen Faubion will minister in the First Service! I hope to see some of you in New Jersey this Sunday in Collingswood (near Philadelphia).
A CHANGING WINESKIN!
Celebrate with us. This week I have been working in Colorado Springs with
Peter and Doris Wagner. We are fully making our transition from Global Harvest
Ministries, ending this wineskin that has served the Body faithfully over
the last 20 years, and shifting into Global Spheres for the future harvest
of the earth. Please pray with us as we make this shift.
This is a historical shift, and a $100,000 venture on this end. You can give into this shift and be part of this incredible change. Few ministries make this transition. This will be a great testimony for the future as the mantle is passed and Peter and Doris begin their “Fourth Career” in a new wineskin based out of Denton. They will remain in their home in Colorado, but will work from this office at this time as they develop new networks, travel to nations, and communicate daily. I just bought a new computer so we can do teleconferencing weekly. Ruth Irons, their daughter who lives with them and assists them in their home, will serve us as our technical liaison.
The Dire Straits!
I hope many of you were able to join us for our Firstfruits Weekend. On Saturday,
the Lord began to speak very clearly regarding the “dire straits” we are straining
to pass through. On Saturday afternoon, Robert began by teaching on “Making
It Through the Narrow Place”. I continued by sharing on the “Developing
Your Testimony: Pass Through Your Dire Strait!” That evening Robert
shared on “How to Triumph in the Month of Av!” as we celebrated the
Hebraic blessing associated with this high point or low point month. On Sunday
morning, Rabbi Jan Rosenberg taught on “Don’t Avoid God’s Detour on
Your Path!” Then Robert Heidler and I team taught on “Dealing
with the Flesh to Come into the Spirit!” If you were not able to
join us, then you will want to order the complete CD or DVD set for Understanding
the Dire Straits and Making it Through Your Narrow Place. On
Saturday afternoon, the Spirit of the Lord began to speak about the intensity
of the next 24 days.
24 DAYS of INTENSE CHANGE! Here was a word given at Firstfruits last weekend!
“I have said to you that the waters will not overtake you. Throughout the times you are walking in, I see you sinking and the waters rising above your head. Stay buoyant with Me. Stay in faith over these next 30 days. If you sink, there are many traps waiting for you at the bottom in the place of the circumstances that you are walking over. I say to you—YES, you are walking over and not under. Stay above. Stay above and do not go under in this situation! The traps are greater if you go under in this situation. Trust in Me and the faith to stay above will remain in you. Stay above! Walk with Me. Keep your head up and the waters will not overtake you!
“There are 24 days that you must stay above! There are traps that would ensnare you that are lined and ordered by the enemy. These traps look like a maze and you will find yourself saying, ‘I can’t find my way out, for when I get out of this one I am in another.’ So ask Me to keep you buoyant. When I say ‘COME’, keep coming, keep coming and keep coming again. Do not look back or you will sink and the traps will encompass you and you will say, ‘I can’t find my way out.’”
(Anita Anderson brings a lifeline from a boat out to the stage. I continue to prophesy …)
“I’m putting a lifeline out right now, so don’t think that the waters will overtake you. I have thrown out a lifeline already. Do not sink down under and do not lost sight of what I have said to you. Do not think that I am a fleeting apparition in your midst. I am not fleeting. I will be there over these next 24 days to keep you above till you get repositioned.
“I am watering you during the day to keep you from burning in the fire and the heat. Even the water cannot quench the fire. But the release of My presence and My wind, and the buoyancy of your faith is keeping your head above the waters and the fire from burning your feet. Many are watching how you walk at this time, so don’t look at the circumstance -- just look ahead and watch as you walk. The lifeline that I have extended before you is becoming a tightrope. You will say, ‘Wait, wait, I see the way. It is very narrow and it is very dangerous but my faith will keep my feet planted and my head above the water!’
“Understand who you are. Understand the authority you have. Now I’m inviting you to come into a new abundance. I realize what is coming against you. I have allowed this thing to be created so you will destroy it. It will not destroy you, and because of that, I have abundance waiting on you. You might say, ‘Yes, I am in the new. But I don’t like the new.’ Many will not move into the new because the new can be much more uncomfortable than the old. Some people are made in such a way that they prefer the uncomfortable to the comfortable, because they know that the comfortable will lose its glory much more quickly! Be uncomfortable now and you will enter My rest in the days ahead!”
Be like EZRA. He stopped at the River Ahava and proclaimed a fast. SET ASIDE 3 DAYS!
This is such a narrow place ahead that if we don’t fast for three days then we can’t get through this narrow place. I believe God brought this on us and started stirring us on Wednesday. I believe that if we will set aside 3 days to fast in the next 24 days, we will make it through this hard, narrow place that we’re in.
Don’t be afraid of fasting. God will choose your fast. Come into agreement with Him. Ask the Lord what three days are you to fast. This fast is to seek Him for the right way for us, for your little ones (the next generation) and for your possessions. God is speaking this so clearly: in the next 24 days there is some financial crisis that is stirring in the air.
The Enemy is On the Road!
Ezra said this, “I was ashamed to request of the king an escort of soldiers and horses to help us against the enemy on the road.” What does that say to us? The enemy is on the road. Cyrus had offered them full protection -- an escort to get them back to Jerusalem. But Ezra knew that was not God’s way. God would supernaturally surround them and get them into this next place. They would watch God operate. I believe the LORD is saying the same thing to us. This is what is called “the dire strait; the narrow way.” It is a place you get to that is filled with your promise, but you can’t get through because it is so narrow … until you stop and look and say, “Alright, now how am I making it through that?” That is what the dire strait is. That is what it looks like. How will you get through so you continue to experience the new that God has put you in?
Ezra went on to say, “So we fasted and entreated our God for this and He answered our prayer.” The result? First, the LORD caused the enemy on the road to not have power to operate. This, in turn, caused their possessions to be protected for the future building plan. Finally, this also allowed their little ones to be protected so they could enter into the future. Many workings of the enemy are going to be released against us, but God says, “Stand fast. Stop three days during the 24 and let Me determine your fast. I will then secure your possessions for the future. I will secure the next generation that is to follow you in. I will remove the enemy that is on the way. Stand firm with Me. Seek Me while I may be found. I will see to it that you get through this narrow place. Some of you feel like you are on a shelf. You’re not on a shelf. I am going to give you a strategy to come through in these next 24 days. I have gotten you to this place in this new journey that you’re on, and now you’re going to come through. Expect Me to move on your behalf. Expect Me to move. I know the plans I have for you, so expect Me to move. Expect your latter to be greater than where you began.”
This Sunday at Glory of Zion (July 18)
Join us at 8:00 AM with the Power of Lift Service and then move into
embracing the Word, experiencing His power, and seeing His demonstration.
Allen Faubion will be teaching on “Let God Arise!”
At 10:15 AM we continue with our "Power of Use" service with
more worship, followed by Alemu Beeftu ministering. As you
may know, he is just back from Indonesia. Alemu is originally from Ethiopia,
and will be speaking on “Faith to Walk!” If you are unable to join
us on Sunday morning, you can watch the "on demand"
webcast replay through Wednesday
evening.
Embracing the Triumphant Glory!
This Sunday evening (July 18) I will be in Collingswood,
New Jersey for a key regional gathering being hosted by John and Sheryl
Price. It was just over two years ago when we gathered on Ellis Island and
the Lord took me up and gave me revelation on the Triumphant Reserve. I want
to invite you to join us on Sunday night at 7:00 PM as we cry out for the
Lord’s presence and power to flow in a new way across the region. More details
can be found at www.hhmfi.com.
Two other key meetings that I am looking forward to are state gatherings in Kentucky and Tennessee. On July 29-30, I will be in Madisonville, Kentucky for Gathering the Triumphant Reserve: Releasing His Glory in Kentucky! We will begin that Thursday night and continue on Friday morning. For more details, please go to www.victorychurchky.com or call (502) 548-2885.
On that Friday night and Saturday morning (July 30-31), I will be in Chattanooga, Tennessee for Gathering the Volunteer Remnant. For more details and to register, please go to www.hiswarriorbride.org or call 931-409-0315. There is a cry going up from state to state for God’s people to draw together to see His Glory released in their territory! I would encourage each of you to find and align with those who are mobilizing for the Glory of the Lord to sweep through this nation (and the nations) once again.
Blessings,

Restoring

grows, doors of opportunity will swing open, asserting Christ’s promise to
His followers that through faith, nothing is impossible! Equipped with the

Possessing Your Inheritance by Chuck D. Pierce and
Rebecca Wagner Sytsema
When Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and that
they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10), He demonstrated God's
longing for His people to prosper and accomplish all that He has planned for
them. God wants to take each of us from a place of judgment, desolation and
fruitlessness to a place of restoration, hope and abundant life. In this revised
and updated edition of Possessing Your Inheritance, you will
discover how to take hold of that which God has destined for you, your children
and your children's children. In addition to a brand new introduction,
a prophetic word and scripture study section are included with each chapter.
