Understanding Firstfruits with Chuck Pierce

The Power of Timing! Key Prophecy Over the Next 6 Weeks! by Chuck D. Pierce

Corinth, TX

Dear Gatherers:

In a Leap Year, there are two months of Adar. This gives us an opportunity to realign the past year, refocus on all the loose ends, and get ready to "pass over" into the remainder of the season that lies ahead. As you are aware, we entered 5776 at Rosh Hashanah in September of last year. In our culture, we became resolute to advance on January 1, 2016. Now we have come to the final preparations to keep pressing to Passover and VAV (or stake claim) to the best of our destined future.

Only the Lord could have orchestrated such an incredible Firstfruits Weekend to propel us into our next season of ascension! As we came to bring our first and best to the LORD, He ordered the best revelation that we could have for this time. All three of our gatherings brought forth key revelation for this season. If we will be focused from this moment forth for the next six weeks, then everything that we are asking the Lord about we will find manifesting in a new way.

Understanding the PROCESS of Firstfruits - The Biblical Key to Prospering!

God planned for His people to meet corporately and worship each month. This celebration is called Rosh Chodesh. This celebration occurred in both Old and New Testament history. This was a major key to the early Church's power and success.

Proverbs 3:9-10 says, "Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the FIRSTFRUITS of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine." (NKJV)

In Romans 11:16, "For if the FIRSTFRUITS is holy, the lump is also holy!"

We sanctify our FINANCES by giving God our firstfruits. We sanctify our TIME by giving God a firstfruits also!

By participating in Firstfruits we are:

• Reminded that God is the Source of ALL Blessings!
• Disciplined to seek His Kingdom FIRST!
• Stirred to remember that He is to be our FIRST Love!
• Released into revelation that directs us from the WAVE offering until the time of gathering the HARVEST!
• Assured of CONFIDENCE that our Father will ALWAYS provide!
• Initiated into a new expectation of a VISITATION and HARVEST that will come in days ahead.

By disciplining yourself to participate in Firstfruits celebrations, the process of watching over our INHERITANCE matures. This leads to your promises being fulfilled! Firstfruits celebrations demonstrate and move us closer to the FINAL INGATHERING that is being developed in our hearts! (Heb. 11:13-14, Eph. 1:11, 14, 18; Col. 1:12; 1 Peter 1:4)

A Key Firstfruit Adar 2 Prophecy!

"The next six weeks will be a time of un-downing your nest. For many of you have grown accustomed to the place where your nest is, but I will be removing the down in the nest that you're in. This removal will be the preparation of propelling you into the future I have for you.

"Do not be discouraged from the pricking that you go through over this next six weeks. For the pricking, and the pricks that you hear coming, are part of the un-nesting that will propel you higher as you begin to be pushed into the next dimension of your destiny. This is My time of pushing you forth.

"As you have heard today, mercy will come, mercy will come, mercy will come, mercy will come, mercy will come, and mercy will come again! I will have a people rising above the fray in this land!"

Shout, "Let there be LIGHT!" Declare this is your time of RECALIBRATION! Decree TRIUMPH over the five-dimensions of enemies that would try to come against you. This is your time to enter into the preparation for your next level of ascending!

Blessings,

Key Prophecies: In a Month of Confrontation – Seize the Day! by Chuck D. Pierce

Corinth, TX

Dear Day Seizers,

I love how the Spirit of God met us on Sunday morning for our Firstfruits Celebration for Adar I. There was such incredible revelation and understanding that came forward during both of our services. One of reasons we gather at the "head" of each month is to allow the LORD to speak to us for the season ahead. I hope you will read, ponder, and engage your faith with the prophetic revelation that was released on Sunday.

A Month of Confrontation – Seize the Day!

"This will be a month of confrontation. This will be a month of carpe diem – 'seize the day' – for there will be confrontations that give you entrance to 'seize the day' and break open your way in days ahead. Do not fall back from the confrontations that will be on your path. Out of those confrontations, out of those solicitations, and out of those divine meetings you will 'seize the day!'

The Wind Will Shake the Trees! Listen for the Wind!

"This will be a month the trees begin to shake. If you will step out into the wind when the wind begins to blow, then you will hear where you need to go. I am sending My people this way and that way! In the midst of the wind blowing, new strategies for increase will blow in the wind. Make a list of every way you've increased in the past. Then hear Me blow! My wind of multiplication will blow you into a strategy of increase for the future."

Go Back – Review, and I will Give You Vision of How to Go!

"If you will go back and review what I have done in you, I will give you vision of how I am going to use you with others in days ahead. You are at the brink of multiplication! Do not back up! Listen, review, and see where I would have you go! This has been a season of repositioning. In My repositioning, I have called some of you to remain where you are, I have called some of you to be still in your current place so you can increase there in your future.

"See your position. Now you will move out to the right and the left and increase will come. I healed you so others could be healed. I broke you through so you could break others through. I caused you to be delivered so many could be delivered. This is your beginning of moving out! Hear the word from behind you telling you which way to go!"

What Bound You will Become a Weapon Against the Enemy!

"Use that which had you bound as a whip on the enemy. If you'll look back and see how the enemy had you bound, you will unravel the powers that have bound you and find the gift of increase that was in the midst of your captivity. I want healing in My Body, and I want My Body to prosper again.

"A portal is forming over you – one that you have never seen before! Run under this portal and watch Me pour down upon you. You are just beginning to receive. Don't interpret your future from your past, but allow your past to come under the portal of your future. I will pour over you the identity that you need to step under. It is this identity that will overcome the enemy of your past."

Your Senses are Coming Alive

"I am redefining your senses. You will see how to move and operate in the portal that is coming down now. I am redefining your senses in the watch, so do not shut your eyes in the hour of watch. Be ready for Me, and watch Me as I begin to move in the watch. As you walk this month, once that portal is over you then you'll be able to see all that has gone on in the past year – maybe the past 70 years – realign.

"You're going to see the angelic hosts – Lord Sabaoth – God of the stars – Lord of Hosts – Lord of the Armies, aligning Heaven and earth. You're going to begin to walk in a way that, all-of-a-sudden, your path opens up and you see angelic guidance assisting you...hearing them speak, 'Turn to the right, turn to the left. The path ahead is open.'"

Oklahoma on Gods Radar this Year!

"I have chosen to unlock Oklahoma, and in unlocking Oklahoma I will unlock this entire nation. For My First People are in that place, and DNA for the nation exists there. So from the east, I will begin to manifest My Spirit in a new way."

Transition Now!

"This is your transition month into all that will connect you into what you are to do and how you are to walk. Your identity is transitioning right now. You are being unlocked in a whole new way!"

Ten year-old Gabriella Kooiman released the following vision: "I saw a man sitting on church steps. He was a poor and older, and he had a basket with a sign that said, 'Please give me food or money.' He put his head down and closed his eyes, and when he opened them up he saw kids of age 5 to 12 coming down the church steps with food and water and money, and dumping them into his basket."

Generations Connecting for Supply!

"I am connecting the generations! Where one generation didn't have the provision they needed to accomplish their call, I'll send another generation to unlock and pour in so that what needs to be finished in one generation will now be finished in another generation. I am an abundant God, and I am a Father who is capable of giving what I need to give. I am now unlocking what you need to finish strong! I am connecting the generations. I am moving in ways you can't understand. I am a good Father.

"I am doing something new in the younger generation. There is a sound going out that will draw them and they will have to run, and they will be like the prodigal who said, 'I've got to get back to my father's house. I don't care what I have to do, I've got to get back to my father's house!' There's going to be sound and they're going to hear it and they're going to run, and they're going to begin to ascend.

"There are so many of the older generation who were marked for salvation during the Jesus Movement, but they lacked whatever was necessary that they could come into salvation. This new move that I am doing in the younger generation is going to pour on them everything they need to come fully into salvation. They won't just sit on the steps and say, 'Can anybody help me?', but will receive from the younger generation who have heard that call and ascended to the place where I Am." (Prophesy by: Chuck D. Pierce, Tobias Lyons, Gabriella Kooiman, Linda Heidler)

Alarms In The Midst Of Familiar Settings! by Chuck Pierce and Penny Jackson

Dear Vigilant Ones:
God doesn’t do anything without first telling His prophets. When you read the instance below, you will immediately see that the Lord is telling us to heed the warnings. Don’t let distractions and the familiar keep you from hearing the Lord and receiving warnings of activity around you. Watch for unusual changes around you!
Penny Jackson in Houston sent me the following:
Notice Alarms in the Midst of Familiar Settings!
I wanted to write about something that happened yesterday because I feel there is a message in it for all of us. I need to start by saying that I live in an older house with many of the original appliances.
The oven that came with the house is older. Since I have lived there for these past 10+ years, I have never set the clock or used the timer on it. Yesterday I arrived home, talking on my cell phone, only to find the oven alarm blaring. I immediately (while still on the phone) began pushing buttons and just trying to make the noise stop. It took some time to get to stop the alarm. Again, this morning I woke up to that same sound. I repeated my same remedy for the sound by pushing buttons. I finally got the alarm to stop resounding.
Now I know I will probably discover more that this means, but when I sat down with the Lord to question Him, I immediately got some insights that I believe are for all of us. Let’s look at some things:
This was something that had never happened before, despite the fact that the oven had been there for at least ten years and was a very familiar object to me. I was distracted, on the phone and not giving the situation my full attention. I immediately started reacting out of my flesh to make it stop without looking at the situation to look for things I should notice.
Here is what I sense the Lord saying: We are entering into a season that is new to us, but notice that the oven itself was old and had always been there. Notice everything, even those things familiar to you. We can’t let distractions keep us from giving our full attention to those things around us. We can’t react, just because we want something to stop. We must look at it and ask the Lord what He is saying through the situation.
Finally, it’s “Not by might, not by power, but by MY spirit” that we prevail. We must get the mind of the Lord on these things.
The Lord is so good to us and gives us alarms and warnings when there are things HE needs for us to know. We must take the time to evaluate these things He shows us.

A Month to Enter Your Path of Blessing! Key Prophecy: A New Sound of Movement! The Heavens Will Shake and the Earth Will Quake! by Chuck D. Pierce

Corinth, TX

A Time the Heavens Will Shake and the Earth Will Quake!

Last Sunday morning (January 3), the Spirit of God was so present as we concluded our Starting the Year Off Right Celebration. Below is a portion of the prophetic release that came forward through tongues, interpretation, worship and declaration.

"Do not seek the familiar this year, for the familiar will lead you into passivity.Seek the sound that will lead you into movement. Seek not the familiar that you are used to seeing and hearing, for that will cause you to be stagnant. Rather, seek the sound that will lead you into movement. For My finger is writing a song out of Heaven. This song will change the course of the current path, situation, and environment that surrounds you.

"The heavens will shake, and the earth will quake. I am breaking up the fallow ground of your paradigms, and they are going to split wide open. It's time to plow the fallow ground. The time is NOW to plow that fallow ground. There is more than your mind has conceived – new patterns, new ways, and new means. The familiar will chain you down to an old thing and way, and you won't be ready for the breaking of a new day.

"Do not question, for you are hearing Me. Capture what you're hearing and bring it into obedience. You've been working with the iniquities of the ground, but Heaven now will shake and the earth will quake, and with what you've been working with I am ready to show you a new way to prosper and succeed. So start plowing and you will uncover the seeds to your future. You will return to divine patterns you've not seen clearly in the Word before; or you saw them and you didn't know how to apply it right. But now divine patterns are coming down! (Photo via deviantart)

"I will show you how to break open the heavens and shake the earth. You'll no longer be working with the iniquities of your forefathers. That will no longer be your paradigm. You'll no longer be working earth that is cursed, because the blessing is beginning to be uncovered. Plant your future and watch growth begin.

The Sounds of Heaven – Vibrating the Ground

"Learn to move by the vibrations of the sound coming up through your feet. This is how I will move My people into place in days ahead! You will not move by the thoughts of your mind, but by the sounds of Heaven vibrating the ground and causing your feet to sense what I'm saying so you can move into place for the future.

"You will be like the elephant that hears through his feet, and because of that he can hear things coming from miles away. As he hears things coming from a distance and prepares himself for what's coming, he trumpets with his mouth what's going on so others can see. Your enemy is confined to the air; he is the prince of the air. But I am the God of the earth and you stand on My ground and can receive My vibrations and My revelation to advance in days ahead.

"I am calling you as 'Change Agents!' No matter where you go, you pull the anointing from Me, and that will change the atmosphere. Don't be afraid of this shaking for it is a remaking. Everything that is of Me will not fall in the shaking. The time is NOW to stand up and move with the cadence of Heaven. You will then be able to shake dens of iniquity and watch dagon's head fall and roll. The shaking this time is about a remaking. Let Me reshape, remold and cause you to shift atmospheres, for you are truly Change Agents in this hour. Receive a mantle of change. Receive a mantle to shift.

"The sound that is coming down from Heaven is the sound that the 'New Trailblazers' will hear. I am equipping New Trailblazers this season. They will cut through the brush and the stubble. As My sound comes you will be equipped. I am preparing new vessels and new vehicles for these New Trailblazers. I am shaking and I am quaking the earth to break up old paths and to construct new paths. Only a new vehicle with a NEW Trailblazer will master these paths.(Photo via Pixabay)

"This is an hour I am beginning to change the language of My people. I am beginning to change the way that My people interpret language. There is a sound from Heaven to connect you with this season. Remember Peter. The people listened to him speaking. They knew that he was not someone educated, but they could feel My authority and power being released. There is a sound and a shofar from Heaven that is aligning with the trumpet inside MY people. Recognize and realize this power from Heaven that is working through you.

"I am causing your language to change and the way that My Word is released. The way that you release and understand prophecy and how I am working in the atmosphere is now changing. One simple word and sound will begin to shift, and people's minds will begin to grasp and understand the power that's working in the earth and in the atmosphere. The specifics of what I am doing and where I want to take you will be revealed.

"Healings and miracles will happen as you change your language. One utterance of that tongue can set the course of everything you need to know. I will have a joyful house of prayer for all people. Therefore, if you will start expressing the joy of the house you have, I will develop the joy that I need for your strength to increase.

Watchmen Arise! A Year of Rapid Fire!

"Watchmen, arise. Let your tongues be the pen of a ready writer. As you write, as you bring down the strategies, I am going to cause doors to fall like dominoes. I am going to cause gates to be blown off the hinges.Watchmen, write what you see, write what you hear; I am fine-tuning your ears. I am opening your eyes in a new way. I am bringing you up to an aerial view, so you can look down into the enemy's camp. You will speak and write specific things, and you will cause ambushments to be set in the enemy's camp.

"Judah, Judah, I am waking you in a new way. For even as I caused the gates to shake for Paul and Silas as they prayed in the night, so Judah will be awakened in a new way. There is something I am awakening you to, to discipline you in, this year. So break through that fear that's surrounding you.

"This will be a year of 'rapid fire.' This will be a year when I will be shooting down, like lightening, upon My people. For I am calling fiery warriors into place. I will do things in you that you have been waiting to see, but I will call you into a place where I want you to pave the way for others to see. Know that this is the year of the travail of rapid fire.

"I am bringing you out of the desert, out of the war in the desert, and I am calling you to stand on the banks of your Promised Land, and war.Many of My children saw me remove many things, and this was difficult, but it was Me. I am removing that old mindset of the desert, and am placing you in the place where you belong, in the place I have desired for you.

"For this is the season to war in a way you've not warred before. So lay down your desert weapons and move forward into your Promised Land and I will establish you. You will hear My voice as never before and you will conquer the enemy that has tried to take you out in the past season.So look up, look up and see that your help doesn't draw nigh, but that it is already here!

"With every crescendo of your life this year I will take you to a point to put your foot on the enemy. Wait for My exact moment. Then, when you bring your foot down on your enemy, your enemy's headship will no longer rule you.

"That which has been underground, I will now draw upward. Over that which has had to amass, and that which has had to come together in one way, you will now see what I have gathered. I have been gathering and I have been preparing, and now, I will draw forth.

"To this nation I say that the enemy has been gathering and preparing against you. But you will now strategize to rise against. Do not rise up too quickly, for I can cause the enemy to start moving even as I prepare you to move into his path and ambush him. You are now going to amass and gather in a way you have never gathered, and I will start the gathering. For the contractions of the earth have begun, and because of that, what has been down, hidden, will now be pushed up, and seen. Know this hour for your change has come."

We Are At a Turning Point! Watch For the Signs! Key Prophetic Revelation For Now! by Chuck D. Pierce

Corinth, TX

Dear Watching Ones: There are certain gatherings when the presence of God is so overwhelming. This past Sunday when we walked into the Tabernacle for our 7:30 AM service, you could sense HIM in the midst of us. What follows is a prophetic compilation from Sunday morning. Several key dreams with prophetic interpretation follow this. Please read these dreams and prophecies carefully. All of these will help explain the "MOMENT" we are in.

This is the Day of the Turning Point!

I would say to you, "Embrace your turning point. Over this past season you've been sifted and you've been strained, and you have even fought for your very breath. But this is a day of change! This is a day of rearranging! This is a time that I AM sending a three-fold cord of empowerment into your soul that cannot be broken. For many of your nerves were strained and broken over the last seven years. Many covenants that you thought would last are now lying by the wayside.

"I am now sending a three-fold cord to reform, and to restore, and to rebuild. I am causing My restoration of your future to begin to rise. Step into the well and the water that is now stirring and moving. Watch Me begin to wash away what strained you. Watch Me cause you to shine. Watch Me give you new territory for this season. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

"You have heard Me release Safe Passage. You have heard Me release Turning Point. But now you will see and hear Me as I come forth as Redeemer, Restorer, and Rebuilder. I am sending angels connected with these three dimensions of transformation. What was broken will be fixed, brought forth, and renewed.

"When you look at yourself don't look for the pot or vessel that you were. I've had to disconnect elements from how you were built, crush, and then add new liquid that would cause you to be made into a structure for the future. What I am rebuilding, restoring and redeeming will look different from anything you expected from the past. Others that look you at would say, 'Who is this person?'

"Your heel will crush the head of the snakes you've seen in the past. The attacks you've seen between brothers and brothers, and sisters and sisters – look ahead and see the covenant that I have been developing. I will send My people realigned into the enemy's camp. This realigned army will defeat the enemy and the booty will be brought to My Kingdom. You will fight alongside those you thought were sifted away. I am restoring an army in a new way, and I am realigning a new day.

"For I am bringing down the Ancient Book with mysteries. These books carry the strategies for legislators of the Kingdom. These strategies contain revelation for a new dimension of Kingdom power. These strategies will overtake the enemy in every region that I assign you to. So receive the books – the Ancient Books – that carry the strategies of the legislation of God."

I Need You! Therefore, I Am Drawing You!

"This will be a time that I will release a new seeking draw upon your life. You will begin to seek Me and long for Me. You will begin to say, 'I must have intervention! I must have a breaking-in of God's presence and His life!' I am going to draw you, and you will seek Me in a way you haven't sought Me! You will know Me in a way you haven't known Me! Feel the drawing, and submit to the drawing. Watch your new level of seeking begin. I will draw you into that which you have been longing to experience.(Photo via flickr)

"For this is a time that I am beginning to brood and reform in a new way. For there are things that I have longed to see come into the earth realm. As My people gather and loose the sound of Heaven, I will hover and rearrange chaos. I am calling My people into a new place of alignment. My army is beginning to assemble. A new sound of joy, a new sound of laughter, and a new demonstration of power is beginning to arise. Allow My Spirit to brood over you. As I meet with you, you will see the two ends that could not meet in the last season begin to form a new line of demarcation.

"Your praise and worship are rising as an occupying force in the spirit realm. There is a rout taking place in the spirit world! This will only increase. There is a displacement coming in the second heaven from the worship and praise of My people as they seek My Spirit and respond to all I am offering them."

I Am Rearranging Your Past Confusion!

"I have been rearranging your confusion, for you have not been able to see the joy in the midst of the chaos around you. This will be a time that I draw out the joy that is in you. I have placed you in that chaos that is around you to produce joy. If you will release the joy that I have developed within you, the chaos will subside and you will see the order around you.

"It's not how eloquently or long you pray! The key is the ONE WORD of faith. As you speak that one word, your situation will change. Do not let the downdraft pull you down into the circumstances that are surrounding you. Remain buoyant with that one word. The one word is your breakthrough in this season.

"Declare breakthrough after breakthrough after breakthrough into everything that seems chaotic. Your buoyant faith is what causes you to arise in the midst of everything that is trying to pull you down. Don't stop at one breakthrough, but go from breakthrough to breakthrough until you are beyond breakthrough. (Photo via flickr)

"My Names that you have built within you in the past season will now come into fullness. This will cause angelic armies to align with you and push you through the atmosphere that is attempting to hold you. Every force must bow! It is not the mere words that you speak, but it is the one effective word that causes a 'bulls-eye' shot." (Prophetic words spoken by: Chuck D. Pierce, Keith Pierce, Acijam Otxoa, Brian Kooiman, Lisa Lyons, and Melinda Richardson.)

Anne Tate's Dream of the Beginning of Unusual Miracles!

On Sunday morning I had a dream just before waking up. In the dream I was seated at a high, square table that was open in the middle and that could seat 8 people on each of the 4 sides. (The word that came to me was 4-squared.) You (Chuck) were there along with others that I work and minister with. On the table in front of me was a pair of glasses that were folded – lens up. Something fell on one of the lens and created a circle of cracks like a rock hitting a windshield.

I picked the glasses up and the mar or starburst (the broken portion) slid right off the lens. The vision of your land, your ministry, and those that you thought you would work with, that had been marred in the past season, had now slid off. The miracle of restored vision occurred. What we had been looking through to develop the new beginning for our feast in the land portion had been restored.

The Lord spoke to me and said,"We are in a window of unusual miracles." I knew He was telling me that healing wasn't even a drop in the bucket of the miracles we are going to see. He began to stretch out words in the atmosphere around me of all kinds of unimaginable occurrences. (Photo via Pixabay)

The Lord had me comprehend that it was the faith that had been released over the last year as we did the "5:15 Movement" prayer watches that was now going to start manifesting. The 5:15 was the beginning of a new identity that produced faith in us. We then connected that with "The Counting of the Omer" which shifted into a harvest multiplication dimension. Following this we engaged in "Daniel Prayer". Then we were led to exalt and pray the "Names of God" (Hallowed be Thy Name)! Now the "52 Days of Arising and Building" will thrust into a repairing the losses of the past, rolling away the reproach, walking in the Spirit, and securing our boundaries for the future.

Linda Heidler's Dream of Unlocking Keys of Revelation and Breakthrough!

Two young men and my daughter, Lindy, were like a special-ops team. Each had a portion of a special assignment and were skilled experts in what they did. They were very focused on an assignment somewhere in Israel. They were working very intently, but then threw their hands up and said, "This is it! We can't go any farther than where we are now." I knew they hadn't completed what they were supposed to do, and it was going to be very bad since the project had not been finished.

Suddenly, all three of them started jumping up and down, waving their arms and worshipping, and saying, "God, You are so good! Praise God! Hallelujah!" They could not contain or hold it in. In my mind, I couldn't see what had brought this kind of response. As they did that, keys started falling, and they reached out and grabbed them. When each one had a key, they looked at their key and at each other and said, "We can finish now!" Then they went right back to work.

When I woke up I heard the Scripture from Habakkuk 3:17-19. In those verses, exalt means "to jump for joy" and rejoice means "to spin wildly with joy". When we choose to worship like that in that kind of situation, the Lord gives us hinds' feet to ascend on the high places. All the sources of provision mentioned in the verses are "lowland" provision. However, the Lord was saying, "When you choose to worship Me like this, I will cause you to leap up to a place where none of that is an issue."

Additional prophetic interpretation by Chuck D. Pierce:

"You are at the end of a path that I have put you on. Although you have been trained and have come to a place of understanding of how to maneuver on this path, you can go no further until you rely upon Me. This will be a time that you cry out and rejoice in Me. In your rejoicing, I will begin to unlock revelation that will cause you to be able to unlock your future. (Photo via flickr)

"When you reach the end of your provision and understanding, worship and praise Me for all I've given you. If you will do that, then I will send down the door to your next storehouse. Many of My people will now be at their end. However, when you begin to rejoice, you will leap into a new vision and see into the place that I have for your future!"

Pam Pierce's Dream of The Narrow Doorway!

I was on a farm with a big old barn, farmhouse and people everywhere. I was in the house going from room to room, and noticed how narrow the doorways were. At one point, I started through a doorway and had to turn sideways to make it through. I got stuck and began to panic, but knew I had to exhale. After I exhaled I was able to make it through the door.

When I tried to leave that same room, I thought, "That doorway looks even narrower now." So I exhaled and started through but got stuck and really began to panic. The people in the room with me said, "Stay calm...we'll just oil you up!" So they got out a bottle of olive oil and greased me up on both sides and pushed me through.

Prophetic interpretation by Janice Swinney, LeAnn Squier and Chuck D. Pierce:

"There are familiar doors that you have gone through before. But in this season it will take a different approach to be able to go through these doors. When you try to go back through a door I've already sent you through, even that will require a different stance. Only as you are fully led, covered and oiled by My Spirit, will you be able to move through those doors.

"Some of those doors will also require others to help you get through. You will not only need an anointing, but a collaborative spirit – a synergy that will bring forth a new energy. Look to your companions for the anointing. For surely, they will assist you as you move through ever-narrowing doors. Know that the opportunities are there along with the resources and provision to get you through your door. (Photo via flickr)

"Though you are moving forward, I will be returning you to some places you've been to previously. For you to get back in those places, you must have the help and anointing of others to allow you to bring the spoils from those places back into the new. Time is beginning to narrow around you. In the midst of this narrowing, I will anoint you, and cause other's anointings to assist you so you accomplish that which I am calling you to do."

Miracle Report from Myanmar!

Doug Fraser is one of the apostolic leaders aligned with this ministry. He wrote us yesterday to share the following:

Here is a miracle report from a young pastor that I am working with in Myanmar. On the day you shared the reading of Psalm 37 for our Walking in the Spirit Prayer Focus, I sent it to Pastor M, since I share with him what we are doing at Glory of Zion. He sent me a message last night that another pastor was caught in military crossfire at a freedom rally in his area. He was carrying a Bible, and a bullet fired at demonstrators hit his Bible and was stopped at Psalm 37. The people are sharing this as a miracle of God's protection! Next year I am planning to go to Myanmar to work on setting up an Apostolic/Kingdom center there. But I just had to share the power of God's favor and moving forward in the nations by our obedience to share His current revelation. (Photo via Wikimedia)

Wow – what an amazing testimony! Stop and read Psalm 37:23-24 and thank the Lord that He orders our steps and upholds us daily: "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand."

A Time to Walk in the Spirit! 14 Days to Triumph! by Chuck D. Pierce

Corinth, TX

Newsletter dated Tuesday, October 27, 2015

Hearing the Word of the Lord!

Dear Walkers in the Spirit: The remnant in the Body is alive and well. The world is changing drastically. Dark is getting darker and light is getting lighter. This brings me to what I am seeing. The key to our spiritual life is learning to walk in the Lord! Here is what the Spirit of God is saying to us:

"Many of you are saying that you can't hear Me, but that is because you are rehearsing in your own ears all your problems and all your ills. Your thoughts can be your thoughts, but most of the time, they are Me trying to get your attention. Shut down all the contending voices, be quiet and still your emotions, and then listen to Me! I have something to say to you, and if you'd just listen to Me I can put you on the right path. I determine your times and places! Walk with ME!

"Focus on My horizon line so you know the destination that you are journeying toward! You are part of a painting that is being composed by ME! I am painting you into a destined landscape.Focus on the horizon line so you're not surprised by the darkness that is in your frame! I must have both light and darkness to compose YOUR PAINTING!Within the field of your painting there is a TREASURE to be found! You must weather your entire landscape to find the treasure in your field.(Photo by Mike De Lorenzo "River of His Delight" via elijahshopper.com)

"SEE differently! HEAR differently! SEE ME! HEAR ME! Change your frame of reference! I am adding new colors and new events to create the MASTERPIECE of your future!"

Walking in the Spirit!

Linda Heidler walks in the Spirit. She has helped me compose this focus that will help each of us gain a new perspective and direction. I feel the goal of the next 14 days is to WALK IN THE SPIRIT! Linda helped develop a teaching on "Nourishing and Exercising Your Spirit" so that you can fellowship in the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit is one of the least understood concepts of the Christian Life! When God formed man, He blew into him and created his spirit. Our spirit existed with God. When He blew into us, He created that inner part in us that belongs to Him.

Psalm 139 states that He knit us together in our mother's womb. That part in each human is there to be housed by Him. This allows our best destiny to be unlocked. That is the secret place in you that He longs to come and dwell to reconnect you to Himself.

We often try to relate to God through our soul or physical body. We try to find our worth through our mind, emotions, and looks. Unless we understand our true spiritual nature, we cannot function as a whole person! Many times we tend to seek the Lord in our quiet time, but then forget that He is present all day and would love to meet with us when we are least expecting Him. He is constantly longing to visit with you.

As Penny Jackson recently shared, "I am just realizing that when something comes to my mind, most likely God is speaking to me. Most of us spend most of our lives thinking that our thoughts are ours. However, we are not our own. I think we have to divide our thoughts out to determine what God is saying, but I am learning that He communes with us more than we know! I am learning to listen more clearly for Him all day, rather than just in my quiet time!" (Photo via Pixabay)

I believe that this summarizes the call to walk with Him in the Spirit. Let's listen more carefully over the next 14 Days!

14 Days to Triumph!

Day 1: Read, Meditate, and Memorize 1 Thessalonians 5:23. Be whole! "And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)."

Day 2: Read Genesis 1:26 through Genesis 3. Satan wants you to believe that God is not directing you, but God created you to walk with you. The enemy also wants you to think that God is holding out on you. This is what he did to the Woman in the garden as he manipulated her desires. Ask God to break any manipulation that is aligned with your desires. Ask the Lord to let you hear Him in the cool of the day!

Day 3: Read Psalm 37. Be sure your desires are aligned correctly. Temptation is linked to desires that are not within God's boundaries. Your desires must be sanctified to walk in the Spirit.

Day 4: Re-read Genesis 2:7. Read John 20:20-22. Let Him renew your spirit by the breath of His Spirit, and then allow Him to re-commission you. "Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being."

"So saying, He showed them His hands and His side. And when the disciples saw the Lord, they were filled with joy (delight, exultation, ecstasy, rapture). Then Jesus said to them again, 'Peace to you! [Just] as the Father has sent Me forth, so I am sending you.' And having said this, He breathed on them and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit!'"

Day 5: Read Psalm 23. This is a Psalm of Prosperity. Your path should be prosperous when you walk in the Spirit. Read this Psalm out loud three times! Psalm 23 comforts you in distress and affliction as He leads you in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. In Hebrew, the word "path" is 'agol, which means to be round or a cycle. He guides us in the cycles of righteousness. This is linked with the timing of the Feasts. Chag, or festival, means to make a cycle. If we understand the feast, then we understand cycles. We can be led properly, prosper and not have lack. If we stay in God's timing, we prosper. Walk in the Spirit on your PATH! Jehovah Rohi causes you to SEE your path!

Day 6: Read Galatians 3:4-5 and Galatians 5, especially verse 16 and 25! Look at the circumstances that you have been through and are going through. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how He has worked and is working in you. Feel His Spirit. Enter into the fruit of His Spirit. Evaluate His fruit. Walk and live in the Spirit. (Photo via Pixabay)

Day 7: Read and memorize Ephesians 1:3-6, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved." Look up into Heaven and see all your spiritual blessings for your bloodlines. Claim them all, even the ones other generations did not claim. Walk in a way that they will manifest.

Day 8: Read Isaiah 55, and Matthew 16. Lean not on your own understanding. His thoughts are not your thoughts. See from His perspective. His word will not return void. Notice how Peter operated. He had great revelation, and then his mind and emotions kicked in and were occupied by satan. Ask the Lord to bring your mind and emotions under control.

Day 9: Read Ezekiel 36-37. As you read these chapters, know that the Lord is speaking and reiterating His promise for your future. He wants to break all scattering in your life. He wants to break all hope deferred. He wants you to recognize His power to perform His Word!

Day 10: Read James 5 and Matthew 4. The Word of God tells us to submit ourselves to God, draw near to Him, and then resist the devil. As we worship and submit ourselves to a Holy God, we can come into intimate contact with Him. Even though we walk here on the earth in our worshipful submission, we ascend into Heaven. As we individually seek God and ascend into the Throne Room, we can hear the sound of Heaven in our spirit man on Earth. Be sure to deal with any area where you are not operating in submission. Resist satan's temptation in your wilderness. Remember, the Spirit of God led Jesus into the wilderness. Stop in the midst of your hard situation and see the Spirit's leading.

Day 11: Read Psalm 34 and Hebrews 1, especially verse 14. Praise God for the angels that are encamping around you. Declare that these ministering spirits will transcend to the natural realm from the spiritual realm. As we ascend in worship, we also know that a portal opens for angelic visitation. During our times of prayer and crying out to God, during those times when we worship with abandonment as David did, we enter the realm of the spirit. Angels help to bring messages and direct us. Don't negate the angels around you! (Photo by Mike De Lorenzo "Jesus' Return on the White Horse" via elijahshopper.com)

Day 12: Read Luke 10. Ask the Lord to remove all distractions that are robbing the best for you and your family. Ask the Lord to cause your will to realign so that you choose the best that He has for you. Quit swatting at gnats. Ask the Lord to teach you about His BEST!

Day 13: Read Hebrews 4-5, and memorize Hebrews 5:14. Let the Word divide asunder your soul and spirit to know His will. Ask the Lord to release discernment in you.

Day 14: Read Romans 8. Ask the Lord to give you a new, triumphant spirit. Read this chapter three times. Ask the Lord for your spirit to be quickened by His Spirit.

These are days of learning His Spirit. Walk in His Spirit and live in His Spirit!

Arise and Build (Rebuild) Your Future! Prayer Points For the Next 8 Days! by Chuck D. Pierce

Corinth, TX

Dear Builders, Standers, and Advancers:

Blessings to you as you progress into the new! The Lord impressed me to send a 52-Day Prayer Focus to help us begin this incredible year ahead. From a prophetic perspective, this is the year of Ayin Vav – 5776. For revelation's sake, so that we build as God instructed us, the year begins at Rosh Hashanah. You then proceed with revelation from Rosh Hashanah and cross over into a fullness of the year at Passover.

Whether you participate in God's covenant time frame and build around Feast Times of 5776, or whether you remain in the Gregorian Calendar, by 2016 you are in the year of "6". Therefore, we must understand the year ahead, the year of "6," in a "Season of Seeing and Developing New Vision".

When Norma Sarvis was here for our Head of the Year 5776 Celebration, she spoke from the book of Nehemiah. While she was speaking the Lord said, "Arise and build and start the year by establishing a foundation of strength that will allow you to enter the gates of the mission of your future!" (Photo via Wikipedia)

Beginning today, for the next 52 days we will ARISE AND BUILD! Starting today (October 7) I will initiate these 52 days. Don't miss interacting on a daily basis with the LORD and those that He is calling you to build with, during this season. Begin now to pray, decree, and advance! You can follow us on Facebook on a daily basis, or we will send out a portion of prayer focuses every week that you can print off and put in your Bible. (Note: please check Chuck Pierce's Facebook page for daily prayer updates)

What is the Overall Year About?

This will be an interesting year! Nations will align with God or against Him! Babel will begin to shake! This is a year that God sends His Word from Heaven to pummel the Gates of Hell. This is the year of us holding the "VAV" while His "hammer" Word breaks open gates that have been held shut. We must release the captivity in our bloodline from the past and unlock our future! This is a year that the Kingdom force will be applied in the earth realm. God's Kingdom people will confound the enemy and plunder resources!

This will also be a year of supernatural giving to secure the five remaining years of this 10-year season. God's people will go up to the high places to worship and overthrow ruling thrones. This is a year that new leaders will arise in civil arenas.

Many people say that we are preparing for visitation. However, this is a year of visitation to prepare us for the future.This will also be a year of the "moment." He will visit you in the present to reconcile your past and unlock your future, in a moment!(Photo by Robert Bartow "The Open Door" via elijahshopper.com)

This year is about the Word coming down from Heaven. When I was in New Zealand, something that was in the atmosphere for generations came down and was "vaved" in the earth. That connected all of our Native work in this land into a whole other land. I recognized this when we visited the Maori Marae (communal or sacred meeting place), and they said that one of their prophets four generations ago prophesied that a white haired man named "Eagle" would come and to receive him! This brought the Word of the Lord from the past into a reality today and unlocked our future.

This is also a year to understand how Babel rises up and that the enemy will be building his, as God is building on the Kingdom's behalf. Remember, that this is a "six" year – a MAN year. So watch how man builds using his own strength. This is a year that you will wield the Word of God.

We have to confound the enemy at the gate so we can plunder what is ours! To do this, you can either come from a heavenly perspective OR you can be like David, and you "go up" at the water spout – from the earth into the place to surprise the enemy. You must ascend in worship, then descend in war, and go to the high places this year to get past the gates of the enemy's "high place" and gain the spoil.

Are You Ready to Begin?

When it's time for the NEW your focus should be: Am I PREPARED to wait until a full manifestation occurs?

To evaluate all new beginnings, ask yourself these questions:

1. Is the situation or circumstance you find yourself in causing you to question God's heart and love toward you and making you RESIST your new beginning?

2. Is the enemy using your reaction to stop you from moving into God's best? (Photo via Pixabay)

3. Are you kicking against the "pricks" and attempting to move in a way that Holy Spirit is developing checks in your spirit? Are situations or circumstances creating roadblocks to STOP you from entering into a WRONG "new" beginning?

4. Is the situation or circumstance that is happening in your life initiating a chain of events leading to a new beginning? Sometimes one event in your life is a catalyst for many other things. Perhaps you have not seen the end of the thing that has begun to get you to your new place!

5. Is your situation or circumstance creating an offense that keeps you from advancing?

Let's Begin by Connecting our Past to the Future!

This is a year when God takes your past, and brings it into the present.God is not in time like mankind. Therefore, He can go back in your past generations and set something before you that needs to be reconciled, or to unlock blessings that have been captured. If you are seeking the Kingdom first, then He knows you will deal with whatever issue He sets before you.

We must gain strength by restoring joy, so we can break old cycles.This is what Nehemiah told the people in Nehemiah 8. When the people began to weep after seeing their sin that led to captivity, Nehemiah told the people that it was not a time to weep. In verses 8-12, he instructed the people to first of all deal with the grief from their past.

Nehemiah 8:8-12 (NKJV) says: So they read distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading. And Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn nor weep." For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the Law.

Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our LORD. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." So the Levites quieted all the people, saying, "Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved." And all the people went their way to eat and drink, to send portions and rejoice greatly, because they understood the words that were declared to them.

We are Now at the Moment to Go Our New Way!

We are now ready to move past our past and into our future. That means we will come to an end of some things and begin other things. That also means that old cycles will attempt to hold us captive and keep us from breaking fully into our future. Therefore we must destroy some old patterns that would love to resurface in our life cycle. The Lord will give you a second chance to confront and deal with that thing that defeated you in the last season!

I am decreeing that you will go UP your mountain called ZION which will cause you to be favored with the Lord's presence all year.Biblically, our life cycle is like a circle. You are on a boat rowing backwards into your future. Your past connects to your future. But your future is opening now into your cycle of victory. This allows all of your expectations in and of God to be fulfilled. I am declaring no more thorns will infest your ground. May every curse let go from deep inside your thought processes.

8 Days to Rebuild Your Strength! Over the Next Several Days, REGAIN JOY!

Day 1: Read Psalm 4 and 30. Meditate on Zephaniah 3. Hear Him rejoicing over you. Receive His love. Let Him pour His grace and mercy over you. Read Matthew 13. Ask the Lord to uncover the true joy of life to you. Let the joy of the Lord fill you. Praise Him that He is your source and the object of your joy. JOY is a positive attitude or pleasant emotion or delight. Joy includes gladness, contentment, and cheerfulness. Joy should be holy and pure. This joy rises above circumstances. Joy embraces the highest emotion of God and His character.

Day 2: Declare that the fruit of the Spirit, JOY, will manifest in your life. The joy required of the righteous person (Psalm 150; Philippians 4:4) is produced by the Spirit of God (Galatians 5:22). This kind of joy looks beyond the present to our future salvation (Romans 5:2; 8:18; 1 Peter 1:4, 6) and to our sovereign God, who works out all things for our ultimate good (Romans 8:28-30).

Day 3: Read and decree 1 Corinthians 12:26 and 2 Corinthians 6:10; 7:4. Joy is different from mere happiness. Joy can be found in the midst of grief. Read Luke 1-2. Rejoice! Ask the Lord to deliver you from grief or trauma. Thank Him that He has come to deliver you from any prison the enemy has devised.

Day 4: Memorize Proverbs 13:9 which says,"The light of the righteous rejoiceth," literally, "is bright". Joy is possible, even in the midst of sorrow Sameah means "to be bright or to shine." Joy expresses His Glory. (Photo via Pixabay)

Day 5: Read Psalm 16. "In Thy presence is fullness of joy; in Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore" (Psalm 16:11). Joy comes from the verb gil or gul. That means to go in a circle or to be excited, dancing around for joy, or rejoicing. In the New Testament, joy is linked with grace. Another word for joy is agalliasis. This word expresses exuberant joy or exultation.

Joy as a spiritual emotion is very frequently referred to in the Old Testament. Our spiritual interaction is conceived when we touch the deepest springs of emotion, including the feeling of exultant gladness which often finds outward expression in such actions as leaping, shouting, and singing. Declare that every religious spirit that is robbing your spiritual expression of joy will let go of you! May your communion with God be full and very expressive.

Day 6: Read Acts. 3. Ask the Lord to remove any spirit of infirmity that is holding you back from accomplishing His purpose. He is coming to the Gate Beautiful. Do something to express joy! Joy has a bodily expression. The Hebrew words mean "to spring," "leap," hence, "exult," "rejoice"; rinnah, "shouting." Joy is the response of the mind to any pleasurable event or state (1 Kings 1:40; Esther 8:17.)

Read John 2, Luke 10, and Mark 2. Rejoice! Clap your hands. Be willing to go into the fullness of joy. Do not stop participating halfway through the wedding feast. Ask the Holy Spirit to remove all of your religious ritual that has robbed your joy. Break any power of phariseeism. Thank God for the new wine.

Day 7: Read Luke 1:14, 44; Acts 2:46; Jude 24; Hebrews 1:9, Matthew 5:12, Habakkuk 3:18; 2 Corinthians 7:13. All of these verses will connect you into joy. Memorize two verses. Stand up and twirl. Express to the Lord that you love Him.

Day 8: Read Revelation 1-5 and 12. Receive strength to go through the open door that has been set before you. Declare the accuser of the brethren is bound. Receive power, wealth, and favor.

Blessings,
