Articles

The following email comes from Chuck Pierce and includes some vitally important revelation and information for the season we are living in.  It is rather lengthy, but I would encourage you to invest the time to read and respondI according to the "Word of the Lord" revealed in the following paragraphs.  (This article came from Glory of Zion with additional information about Chuck's ministry schedule that I edited out for this posting.)

God bless each of you,

Jacquie

Dear Friends, Prayer Warriors, and Supporters:

I decree that every spiritual blessing in heavenly places will be yours. We have just returned from one of the most incredible gatherings that Global Harvest Ministries has ever sponsored. Peter Wagner convened the International Congress on Prophecy and Prophetic Ministry in Nashville, Tennessee. There was a spiritual dynamic in this conference that was incredible. Peter Wagner, Ricky Skaggs and Cindy Jacobs led us in a faith-filled, joyous first day.
      During the night I was awakened and the Lord said, "I am ready to visit this place. Be alert to recognize My presence." The next morning, worship engaged any forces that were attempting to block the Spirit of God from invading the gathering. Paul Keith Davis then brought forth an incredible message on "the gathering angels." Later in this letter I will share what happened as we proceeded through that morning.

Get Ready to Cross Over

We are just completing the last month of the Hebraic year. Let me remind you what this month means. The month of Adar or March/April is known as the "Pregnant Month." There are things to CONCEIVE at this time. Your LOST TIME can BE REDEEMED.
      CONFRONTATIONS OCCUR with constricting enemy forces so the PLUNDERING of the enemy's camp can begin. Expect supernatural JOY to come because you will OVERTURN the enemy's plan. BREAK OLD CYCLES by doing the OPPOSITE of the ENEMY'S PLOY. In other words, when you feel the enemy trying to trap you and cause old angry spirits to surface-PRAISE!
      Remember this: the Lord will WEDGE open the BEGINNING of your next phase. This will cause the old seasons and cycles to END and new seasons to begin. Do not fear the narrow intersections; you will SLIDE through into your new place.

This has not been the easiest month. In times of conception the "dragon" seems to lurk to either stir up or stop God's purposes for the future from coming forth. The enemy is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. But he is also like a dragon who stirs up the fire of the accuser of the brethren to bring division in the midst of birthing.
      But God! The Lord is preparing us to cross over into the first month of the year! He is putting the pieces together for our future. This is a time when we must allow God to show us the future so we can advance. You need to reach back and grab hold of those things that have been detrimental and defeating in your past. Then take your other hand and grab hold of God's best for your future. Pull all the defeats of your past and place them under the "best" in your future!

183 Days! A Word of Knowledge and a Call to God's People to Speak Forth!

When the power of God came into the International Congress on Prophecy, Paul Keith began to admonish us to come into agreement with the angelic forces that had encamped around us (Ps. 34). The power of God was so strong. I was standing on the stage to make the transition from Paul Keith's message to our break, and all of the sudden my mouth began to move inside. It was like an explosion was going on inside my mouth. I felt words forming and my mouth was just quivering like an earthquake was occurring.
      Paul Keith walked over and laid his hand on me and began to decree that the message God was forming in me would have great impact in days ahead. I could not stand under the power of the anointing that was so present. I fell down on the stage with the bright stage lights shining on me, but then all of the sudden everything turned black.

I asked the Lord what was happening. He said:

"I am moving My people under shrouds of death that have blocked My glory from being seen in earthly realms. I will form the words within their mouth. For I have stored life and light down deep within their bone marrow. When they speak, the shroud of death over land, families, cities and nations will begin to disintegrate. This will unlock My Kingdom to advance. I am preparing the harvesting angels to co-labor with you as you break this shroud of death by speaking what I am saying from heaven."

I believe this word is for each one of us. The Lord began to show me how evil plots were working under these dark coverings. If we will allow Him to move us into place with His word burning within us, His fire will begin to expose and destroy the evil plans of the enemy. I saw certain states (Kentucky first, then several of the Gulf Coast states) and various cities that the Lord was going to visit this year.

I next had a word of knowledge. The number 183 formed. Then I heard the Lord say, "Eat My words for 183 days." A while later when I was sitting by Mary Glazier we looked at her automated calendar and found this time frame would take us to the beginning of Yom Kippur and the Hebraic Year 5767.
      I want to suggest that you begin by reading Psalm 34. If you are not doing the 25-Day Prayer Focus, begin now. The Lord showed me that if we will "taste and see that He is good" then our future will be revealed to us. The more we eat His Word, the more we will discern our future. I will write a complete report later on the International Congress on Prophecy. The next prayer focus we do will be How to Eat the Word of God.

Passover: Crossing Over into Your Future

A crossing over time has three phases linked with transition: Death, Confusion, and New. The Hebrew word abar means "to cross over" or "pass over." This word illustrates a motion. It also refers to crossing a stream or barrier ("pass through," Num. 21:22), invading a country ("passed over," Judg. 11:32), crossing a boundary against a hostile army ("go over," 1 Sam. 14:4), marching over ("go over," Is. 51:23), overflowing the banks of a river or other natural barriers ("pass through," Is. 23:10), passing a razor over one's head ("come upon," Num 6:5), and the passing of time ("went over," 1 Chron. 29:30). 

      As a verb, the word is used in relationship to transgression or sin, such as transgressing a covenant or commandment. One "passes beyond" the limits set by God's law and falls into transgression and guilt. This meaning appears in Num. 14:41: "And Moses said, wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the Lord? but it shall not prosper." We want to die to anything in the past season that would hinder us in the season ahead. We want to be sure the power of any besetting sin is broken. Don't be afraid to go to the CROSS. Resurrection and new life are on the other side.

Passover is a key time for the Church to understand for us to enter into our full redemptive purpose. The Church had continued to celebrate this Feast for over 300 years after the Lord's crucifixion, but then Constantine forbid its celebration in the 4th century. The world and the enemy hates the blood.
      This was also where we shifted to the Gregorian calendar to stop us from staying in God's perfect timing. Hell hates for us to have an understanding of this Feast, because the celebration of this time unlocks our redemptive purposes for the future. Exodus 23 says if we will participate in these Feasts then the Lord will assign angels to guide us into our promise.
      Angels are being dispatched to help you enter in to what the Lord has for you. We must remember that in preparing for their redemption, the children of Israel's situation got worse before it was better. The next three months are key to our advancing forward at an accelerated rate.

God had heard the cry of the Israelites due to the hard labor they were under and remembered and acknowledged His covenant with them. He found a Deliverer, Moses, who would inform Israel that God had come to fulfill His promise to take them to their promised land, Canaan.
      Moses, the Deliverer, also had the marching order from God to go to Pharaoh and command him to allow Israel to journey into the desert and worship Him. Israel responded to these changes with great enthusiasm (see 4:29-31: "and the people believed and heard that God had come to redeem His people...") and joy, but this initial enthusiasm quickly turned into bitter disappointment when Moses' first encounter with Pharaoh resulted in a 'double workload' (see 5:18-21) rather than redemption. Sometimes things get worse before breakthrough comes.

Exodus 6:1-9 says:

"THEN THE Lord said to Moses, Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for [compelled] by a strong hand he will [not only] let them go, but he will drive them out of his land with a strong hand. And God said to Moses, I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty [El-Shaddai], but by My name the Lord [Yahweh--the redemptive name of God] I did not make Myself known to them [in acts and great miracles].
      I have also established My covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their temporary residence in which they were strangers. I have also heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians have enslaved; and I have [earnestly] remembered My covenant [with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob]. Accordingly, say to the Israelites, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will free you from their bondage, and I will rescue you with an outstretched arm [with special and vigorous action] and by mighty acts of judgment. And I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that it is I, the Lord your God, Who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
      And I will bring you into the land concerning which I lifted up My hand and swore that I would give it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage. I am the Lord [you have the pledge of My changeless omnipotence and faithfulness]. Moses told this to the Israelites, but they refused to listen to Moses because of their impatience and anguish of spirit and because of their cruel bondage." (AMP)

The people immediately accused Moses of only aggravating their condition. This month be careful not to place unnecessary blame on those who are trying to help you break free. "And they did not listen to Moses, due to their crushed spirits and hard work." (6:9) It was just as difficult for Moses to convince the Israelites of God's word as it was to convince Pharaoh. He was assigned to not only inform the people but also to educate them on what it meant to come out and cross over and be redeemed. Therefore, they had to prepare themselves for their redemption. That is what Passover is about.
      The ruling enemies over your life must recognize that God is on your side. However, you must commune with the Lord and worship Him in a new way. Just as the people of Israel had to prepare a Passover lamb, we must be willing to allow the Cross of our risen Savior to penetrate any area of our life that could keep us in bondage. I am asking the Lord to heal "crushed spirits" this month so that each individual in the Body can move forward into a divine release of blessings.

Ex. 20:5-8 says:

"You shall not bow down yourself to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing mercy and steadfast love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
      You shall not use or repeat the name of the Lord your God in vain [that is, lightly or frivolously, in false affirmations or profanely]; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. [Earnestly] remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy (withdrawn from common employment and dedicated to God)." (AMP)

God had called Israel to repent prior to the Exodus, to cleanse themselves from idolatry of their Egyptian culture in preparation for their redemption. Joshua did the same thing before "crossing the people over the Jordan" (Josh. 3). We must accept that the Lord has a time of preparation that He takes us through before releasing us into the next dimension of our promise. Celebrating Passover always points us toward our final redemption. This is a season where the Lord wants our end to be greater than our beginning. This Passover is so very important.

Come to our Special Firstfruits Gathering (April 22) at Glory of Zion.

We will have our special April Firstfruits gathering on Saturday April 22 at 7:00 PM. Prepare yourself, for this will be a time of "Crossing Over." I am preparing something special for each participant to receive. If you can't join us, please order the CD by calling (888) 965-1099.

Prepare for the Pentecost Gathering (June 9-10)

After Passover the next major Feast time is Pentecost. We want you to come and be with us on June 9-10 for Connecting Heaven and Earth: Entering into Increase and Unlocking Your Future! With the awakening wind of the north blowing and the purifying wind of the south stirring, we are seeing our nation come to a crucial crossroads. This Pentecost is very important.
      Pentecost is the feast of the open heavens. Pentecost was a Biblical feast instituted by the Lord when He brought the people out of Egypt and set them toward their promised land. There are three levels of Pentecost. Each level is a doorway that we need to pass through.

The first level is receiving God's blessings of abundant provision. Pentecost celebrates the release of provision from God. Pentecost is celebrated by praise and giving.

Second, Pentecost signifies the release of the power of God into the earth realm. This is a year for heaven and earth to connect. Therefore, this Pentecost is very strategic.

Third, Pentecost is about supernatural revelation. Come join us so the Spirit of Revelation can rest upon you for you to gain insight over how to increase throughout the year ahead.

This 2-day gathering will begin on Friday morning and continue through Saturday night. Speakers include Dutch Sheets, Jo Ann McFatter, Robert Heidler, me and others. If you register by May 19, the cost is $30 per person or $50 per married couple. After May 19, the cost will be $40 per person and $60 per married couple. To register you can either call (940) 382-7231 or (888) 965-1099, or go to www.glory-of-zion.org Seating is limited, so register early. Hotel space is also limited due to other events in the region, so we encourage you to make your accommodations plans early as well. (You can go to www.glory-of-zion.org for a listing of nearby hotels.)

Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce
