We have now entered the Hebraic Year 5767. In Hebrew, these numbers have meaning. This is "The Year of Samekh Zayin!" This means that this will be "The Year That Swords Will Clash." We are still coming full circle in our lives, but this is the year that the Sword of the Lord becomes the central figure in our journey. This war season that we are living in will be a year of great shaking and quaking! The Lord spoke to us this past weekend as we celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles and said: "Plant your feet! Ready yourself for change! You are entering a year of shaking and quaking! This year will be known as the Year of Holy Spirit! This will be the year the RIVERS will rise! Watch where the heavens open and floods (physical) reach the earth, and document those places! Those are places targeted for a Holy Spirit invasion. Rising flood waters will cause you to move to higher ground. As the River of Holy Spirit rises you will find yourself moving to the high places. I will position My people on the high places this year. As you worship, I will cause ruling thrones of iniquity to topple. Like Dagon, their head will fall before My Presence! Get ready! I shake loose wicked structures. Watch in the night and watch Me manifest in the light!" (This was a Word spoken on Saturday, October 14, during our Feast of Tabernacl es Gathering. On Sunday, October 15, the earthquake hit Hawaii and the flood overtook Houston, Texas.)

Expect the Next Move of the Holy Spirit to Begin!
All "sevens" ar e dear to the Lord. The number "7" is linked with completion and fulfillment, and is the number that the Lord uses to represent the Holy Spirit. The Seven-Fold Spirit and the candle in the Book of Revelation are important for us to understand this year; ".Directly in front of His Throne were SEVEN-lighted lamps representing the Seven-Fold Spirit of God" (Rev.4:2-5). Isaiah 11:2, says, "The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, the Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, power, knowledge, and of the fear of the Lord!" Ask the Lord for Holy Spirit to overpower you during this season. (The Menorah is the only religious symbol that God designed! It represents an olive tree. We have developed two new anointing oils for this year using olive oil. The pomegranate oil and candle are incredible! We also have two pieces of jewelry that will remind you of this year.the Burning Menorah Bush and the Samekh Zayin! See the specials at the close of this letter.)

Receive Your Crowns from Last Season's Victories
Many of the tests that have come into our path in the past season have been difficult. However, each test can produce a testimony. When we overcome we receive strength. The Zayin is a "Sword with a Crown". Your tests have sharpened you for the future! Take the crowns from your victories, throw them at His feet, and allow Him to release an anointing for you to overcome more this year!

Let Your Sword Be Sharpened! Let the MOVEMENT of Life Begin
The SWORD is a symbol of war (Lev. 26:25, Is. 34:5). These are times that the divine weapon for divine judgment (Deut. 32:41, Ps. 17:13) will take action in the earth. The SWORD is synonymous with POWER and AUTHORITY (Rom. 13:4). Learn to exercise the authority you have so you may receive more. The Lord will balance the scales this year and bring a manifestation of His justice into the earth (Zech. 13:7). Do not fear! The SWORD produces the protection of God in our lives (Deut. 33:29), signifying the end of the wicked, their tongue, and the power of their persecuting spirit (Ps. 37:14-15). Remember that we are in a season of surrounding our enemies and taking back what has been taken. The SWORD is the weapon of plunder. Get ready to recov er all!

Let the Swords Clash!
As you enter this year, expect Holy Spirit to move. This is a season and time of Great Movement!
1. This is the Prophet's Year! The tongue is a sword, so the Lord will touch and use our mouth this year. Read Isaiah 6. We all prophesy according to our faith. Let faith arise and be unlocked!
2. This is a year of Arms and Weapons! Many nations will rise against each other. However, God's people will dress for the war ahead and activate their weapons in a new way. Gird yourself with truth, align your shields, and sharpen your swords!
3. This will be a TIME of DIVINE Confrontations! The conflicts that could hinder your future must be settled. The Lord will orchestrate times of settling disputes (e.g. Jacob/Esau; Joseph/his brothers).
4. We are entering a season in which we must watch for Seduction! Do not be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine. Be careful! Doctrines of demons will attempt to overpower us and cause us to compromise our faith.
5. In this season, New Energy will produce New WINE. This is a season of WINE or Revelation! New wine will cause the clashing of the wineskins! Old structures will resist change and rise up with accusations against those who are producing change!
6. This will be a year of GOLD! This will also be a year of GLORY which will produce a brightness, radiance and favor on God's people. Think Gold and Glory! Currencies will change in relation to the gold base. We will see great headway in the war with MAMMON. This is necessary to see transfer of wealth for Kingdom advance.
7. The best way to understand this season is this: You are Entering a Year of EXCLAMATION! Everything will be louder and more pronounced! Listen carefully and praise your way into victory. Do not fear violence or fret because of evildoers. You are a two-edged sword!

Do not fear as we enter the last two years of this war season. Go up to the high places that have resisted you in the past and praise and worship our Lord. Watch the "high places" become low as you take a new stand. Let your spirit man move into an overcoming dimension as you praise! Psalm 149, says: "Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, and His praise in the assembly of saints. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.For the LORD takes pleasure in His people... Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute on them the written judgment - this honor have all His saints."

This past Tuesday (October 17), we heard the LORD say the following:
"Things are moving closer to the shore of this nation to shake it. Get ready, for the shaking will begin to come close. It will start on the West and shake toward the East. I will cause systems and structures in the East to shake. Announce to the West Coast that a shaking is coming. The wave of My Spirit is coming closer to this nation and the wicked will be shaken out as My GLORY rolls across the nation and rearranges it. 'Have you ever given orders to the morning or shown the dawn its place that it might take the earth by th e edges and shake the wicked out of it?' (Job 38:12) I AM calling My People to rise up and meet the morning, and decree that evil structures will be shaken! The shaking from the West and from the East will begin to meet. As Delaware shakes, Philadelphia will begin to shake in a new way. That place where liberty has been crusted over and where God's plan for this nation is being held captive will begin to shake. The wave is coming closer to our shores to shake this nation. Let the wave hit the West. Let the shaking of the East begin. Let the sound of shaking begin. The sound that has been stopped that would bring the shaking is being released from Heaven. Let things that are not connected in the earth, get connected and prepare for the shaking.

Old war methods and strategies will come to an end and be cast down. I AM releasing new strategies of war to tear apart structures that are opposing My plan. These strategies and weapons of war will produce a new anointing for Harvest. The war for the Harvest will now be released in the Middle East! Let things shift. I will now back every soldier and every leader that is battling for My new government to come forth in the earth. A supernatural shield will now be released from Heaven! The plans of the wicked will now shake back upon their own head.

My desire is for a revolution to come on every campus. Call forth a new student revolution. Declare universities will break out of the conformity of the world. Call forth a revolution in Princeton, in the University of Delaware, all along the East Coast, in Harvard and Yale. Let revolution come forth in Kentucky on the campuses. Declare a revolution will come forth at the University of Texas. Call forth revolution and a n ew wind of the My Spirit to blow in Kansas. Shake up the systems and call forth My Spirit in unusual places that will spark a revolution. Break out of conformity. Mammon has the revolution captured. Break that mammon structure! Change your identity and go into the universities and call out for Me to come.

Reinforce the walls of the West and East Coasts. Call for the Tribes to align and send forth the reinforcements to help My people get positioned with your new weapons on the wall. The sound that has been captured on the West Coast and sent in wrong directions will now be returned to My people and redirected for My purposes. I'm going to cause that sound to start calling in the wave of My Spirit. I Am the God of Revolution and a new wave of revolution will come into and out of Berkley, UCLA, USC, Pepperdine, the University of Oregon and Oregon State. Even Gonzaga and Washington State will experience an awakening of My purpose. I am calling forth the revolution in San Diego that will awaken the borders of this land. Let the sound come forth on the West Coast to prepare them for the wave that is coming.

To the East, I say, 'You're going to break the fear of shaking. You will no longer calculate how things will end up. You will not be fearful. I will break the liberality that is creating the strength of confusion in this nation and is holding back My true move of liberty. I'm going to shake liberality out until freedom and revolution arise.' The root of witchcraft and religion will now begin to separate. My Spirit will visit St. Louis and there will be a great sound of wailing that arises that births the future of this land. Decree this begins! "

We Love You Being Connected Here
Oh my! What a season ahead. We love and appreciate you, and could not continue moving forward without you. If you would like to give to this ministry, you may go to https://www.glory-of-zion.org/secure/gift.asp or call (888) 965-1099 to give by credit card. There are many new projects and areas of ministry and involvement we are pressing into, including:

30 Acre Prayer Grove! We are in the process of purchasing 30 acres of land on Interstate 35 where "East" and "West" meet. This is key piece of property. I just had Apostle Jay Swallow (a Native leader) lead a team to pray over and cleanse the land. As we begin to occupy this land, we will first develop a Prayer Grove to walk and seek the Lord. We will then develop "Rest Stops" for people to be refreshed and anointed on their journeys.

Publishing! I am working on a three year contract with Charisma House Books. Also, I have a contract with Regal Books to develop a field guide for the WAR ahead! The nation of Mongolia has requested to publish Robert's self-deliverance manual, Set Yourself Free. Of course, all international books published by Glory of Zion are a missions project. Thank you for giving to help us do this.

Ministries of Zion! Several ministries have contacted us to align for the future. This is a time that we must be correctly connected. Be sure you evaluate your connections. I will be developing an apostolic team over churches and ministries aligned with Glory of Zion.

Houses of Zion! There are many who cannot find a gathering that satisfies their spiritual yearning. The Lord asked me to develop Houses of Zion so we can connect and cover people in their homes. You can find biblical patterns of meetings in Acts 2:42, 1 Cor. 12:4-7, 27-30; 14:26-33, and Eph. 4:3-16. Many times, a shift in the way we meet is important, as wineskins clash and make transitions. This shift allows us to more easily make our transitions as we stay connected and submitted. Do not lose love, intimacy, and power as you seek the Lord, and do not allow religion to condemn you for change. We have a heart to see the scattered sheep connected and covered. If you are connected as a House of Zion then I would encourage you to be with us monthly or at least three times during the year to celebrate the Lord corporately.

Issachar School! We have just completed our first year of the Issachar School with some of the most incredible training ever! I have included a list of courses. You should consider this certified school to help you develop a better understanding of this season. The Issachar School helps develop an understanding of the Bible from a Hebraic point of view! You can also take courses without being part of the certified program. If you see a course that interests you (such as Understanding the Months Prophetically, The Names of God, Positioned for War: Understanding Your Tribe) and would like to learn more about that subject, you can order it from our webstore at www.glory-of-zion.org.

Starting the Year Off Right!
At the beginning of each calendar year, I feel it important for us to gather and Start the Year Off Right! There are some meetings you do not want to miss-this is one of those! The Starting the Year Off Right Gathering allows us to get focused apostolically and prophetically with revelation as we progress into the year ahead. I want to invite you to join us on January 4-7 as we press in before the Lord to gain insight and direction for 2007 and beyond.

Speakers for Starting the Year Off Right include Peter Wagner, Cindy Jacobs, Dutch Sheets, Joseph Garlington, Barbara Wentroble, Paul Keith Davis, Barbara Yoder, James Goll, Paul Wilbur, Dan Juster (from Israel), Jo Ann McFatter, Paul & Denise Goulet, Kimberly Daniels, Jim Hodges, Robert Heidler and me. We will be at the University of North Texas "Super Pit." We will begin on the morning of Thursday, January 4 and conclude on Sunday around noon. Prior to the Starting the Year Off Right Gathering on the night of Wednesday, January 3, we will have a Special Worship Gathering at the UNT Coliseum at 7:30 PM. There will be no charge to attend this worship service that will pave the way for the Starting the Year Off Right Gathering. REGISTER NOW!

If you register by December 13, the cost is $45 per person or $75 per married couple. You can register online or by calling (888) 965-1099. Additional details can be found at www.glory-of-zion.org.

Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce
