"THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS"

Excerpt of vision:

"I suddenly saw in the billows of His presence, certain ministries and their strategic nature to bring about this Divine State of Union. I saw prophetic ministries and the far-reaching ramifications of their labor. I saw them as a razor-knife cutting away the grave clothes of division from the Body that kept it from the State of Union which God was declaring."

"THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS"

(AND THE BILLOWING CLOUDS OF HIS PRESENCE)

~ Chad Taylor

"I saw the doors of the White House and the Congress opening to certain prophetic ministries as a precedent of unity between Church and State begins in 2007." - Chad

THE STATE OF OUR UNION

On January 23rd, 2007, President Bush gave his "State of the Union Address" as required by the Constitution of the United States, which states:

"(The President) shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient." (Article II, Section 3).

George Washington gave the first address January 8th, 1790 in New York City. As I watched this event unfold Tuesday night, I was first struck with the magnitude of the title:

"The State of the Union" and its far reaching implications that went beyond the hallowed corridors of American history. God was asking us on this 23rd day, of January 2007, "What is your State of Union?"

For the first time, I suddenly saw the amplitude of the "State of our Union or Unity" as His Body and how important it is to God. What highlighted this was the "State of our Union," as our President stood before a historic House of Representatives and Congress.

This governing body could not have been more widely divided as this address was being made, and this cemented division is clearly illustrated in the general spirit of American's everywhere as our "state of union" is tested like never before. I saw the paradox as well.

This division and Divine testing of our "state of union or unity" was not confined to a political paradigm; it was for the Church as well. God is asking all of us in this hour, "What is your state of union? Are you working toward My heart and a common goal, or is it divided and becoming a House that cannot stand?"

A VISION OF BILLOWING CLOUDS

At a certain point in the President's State of the Union address as he began to comment about Africa and her plight, I was suddenly arrested by the Spirit and a vision opened up to me. I saw BILLOWING CLOUDS OF HIS PRESENCE that were literally stories high.

They filled the scope of my spiritual eyes and were like nothing that I had ever seen. They appeared to me as clouds moving like giant waves filling every vacant space with their presence. As I saw this vision unfold, I heard the voice of the Lord from the billows,

"MY TRAIN FILLS THE TEMPLE!"

Then I was clearly aware that these billows were not clouds, but they were the garments and presence of the Lord God Almighty Himself. Then from the billowing train of the Lord, I heard the voice of President Bush as he declared this and that about Africa, and then I heard the Voice of the Lord again, as if the two voices were one,

"WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US?"

I realized at that very moment, that this was a great commission to the Church in this hour, and it required an unshakable State of Union like never before, as the Church was commissioned by God AND by our President as well. I then heard an angel declare,

"LOOK! THE KING AND HIS Kingdom ARE COMMISSIONED!"

I suddenly saw in the billows of His presence, certain ministries and their strategic nature to bring about this Divine State of Union. I saw prophetic ministries and the far-reaching ramifications of their labor. I saw them as a razor-knife cutting away the grave clothes of division from the Body that kept it from the State of Union which God was declaring.

I then heard the President's voice (in the Spirit) begin to declare his blessings over these prophetic ministries, as I heard the President speak their names and he nodded in their direction. I heard many names and ministries at this time that were divine catalysts of God's State of the Union, as the Church moved toward this Great Commission.

I saw the doors of the White House and the Congress opening to certain prophetic ministries as a precedent of unity between Church and State begins in 2007 unlike any other political or spiritual era before it. I also observed some other ministries who had great presidential and governmental favor begin to fade from the picture.

I knew by the Spirit that their time of favor and prominence had come to an end as this great State of the Union unfolded. It was critical even beyond my present understanding that these other ministries make way for the new.

I saw "GOD TV" as a forerunner to this State of the Union as a great golden gate was opened between our continents, and I heard the Lord say,

"ONCE THERE WAS A REVOLUTION BETWEEN THESE COUNTRIES, NOW THERE SHALL BE ANOTHER, BUT IT WILL BE FOR THEIR GREATER GOOD, NOT EVIL!"

I knew by the Spirit that the Lord spoke of Great Britain and The United States. This great billowing train of His presence began to fill their houses of political and spiritual representation as well. A great spiritual revolution and revival had begun...

WATCHMEN--WATCH THE WEST COAST!

I then heard something very unnerving from the Clouds of His presence. I heard the Lord say, "BEWARE OF ASSASSINATIONS AND MASS ATTACKS. FOR THE ENEMY DESIRES TO TAKE THE CITY AS ONE MAN."

I was reminded then of what the Lord had declared to Gideon when he faced the great army of Midianites, "And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man..." (Judges 6:16).

I knew though that this was for evil and not for good in the context the Lord was showing me. The enemy of this State of Union would and is now concocting elaborate schemes to thwart this Union and that they would try to take down entire cities. I heard the Lord say at this time in the vision,

"WATCH THE WEST COAST, WATCHMEN WATCH THE WEST COAST! WATCHMEN WATCH THE WEST COAST!"

I knew too, that we had to pray IN UNITY as never before to stop the flood of the enemies attacks. A series of Scriptures leapt to my heart from the Lord as a first line of defense when the Lord said,

"I WILL RAISE UP A GREATER STANDARD IN THIS HOUR! I WILL RAISE UP A GREATER STANDARD!"

"When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him" (Isaiah 59:19). Even in moments when it seems irrevocable, the Lord will raise up a supernatural standard. Even in this current political maelstrom, a righteous standard shall prevail and everyone shall see it at once.

"Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people." (Isaiah 62:10)

"Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard..." (Jeremiah 50:2).

A greater State of Union will prevail for the first time in 300 years between Great Britain and the United States. Crisis will solidify this Union like never before."In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old..." (Amos 9:11). I heard the Lord say, "This is your strategic prayer as in Amos 9:11:

CLOSE UP THE BREACHES! CLOSE UP THE BREACHES!'"Let us together PRAY THIS: 'CLOSE UP THE BREACHES, CLOSE UP THE BREACHES!'"

PROPHETIC WORD FOR THE WEST COAST

~ Wendy Alec

www.god.tv

THE WEST COAST OF AMERICA:

"I AM PREPARING TO POUR OUT FROM HEAVEN THE FEROCIOUS FIRE OF MY SPIRIT"

"Yes" – says the Lord –" for many have said this is a hard place to break through – it is hard ground – it is not like the biblebelt – it is not like the heartland – But in this coming season, I tell you –" says the Lord – "..that even as the wildfires that blazed across California that could not be contained - that blazed with a ferocious fire – so I am in this day and in this season preparing to pour out from heaven the ferocious fire of my spirit across the West Coast of America.

JUST ONE SPARK

And even as one tinder spark set ablaze the forest fires – so too, I shall take a spark – says the Lord – JUST ONE SPARK - - I shall take the spark of the prayers of my saints who stand in California –

I shall take the spark of the declarations of my Apostles, of my Prophets, of my intercessors – For I have seen the sowing and the plowing and the ground that has been wet with tears from those that have laboured incessantly in the heat of the day –

IN JUST ONE DAY

…and in just ONE DAY – says the Lord – Like a tinderbox – the outpouring of my Holy Spirit shall blaze across this state and beyond. And it shall burn with a flame that cannot be extinguished – and many, many, many of my servants who serve me in the West Coast shall know that THIS IS THAT which they have stood in the gap for – THIS IS THAT for which they have yearned – THIS IS THAT which they have seen in their spirits – And many shall say It is Azuza –

But I say to you – This coming move of my spirit – is in a different flow and a different dispensation from that which has gone before –

FOR I SHALL BREATH A FRESH NEW BREATH UPON CALIFORNIA

For I shall breath a fresh new breath upon California. And my church shall blaze with the fierceness of its rising – and the fear – yes the FEAR the fear of the Living God – the fear of the Lord of Hosts shall fall – and it shall fall upon my church.

But as my church falls to its knees – so I shall pour out my spirit to those that reject me – to those that deny me – to those that refute my existence – and they shall say – GOD IS IN OUR MIDST –

I SHALL GATECRASH THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES

And I shall gatecrash - yes literally gatecrash the city of LOS ANGELES – and there shall be a cleansing – says the Lord – yes even as the Lepers were cleansed by me – there shall be a cleansing in that day and in that hour.

And my presence shall be known among the gatekeepers of the media and the entertainment industry. And my presence shall be known among the financiers. And my presence shall sweep the city of Los Angeles to the North and the South – to the East and the West of this state – And a great healing and forgiveness between races shall occur – for the love of my Son shall fall upon young men and old – the love of my Son shall overshadow the city –

SAN FRANCISCO – YOU HAVE BEEN FOUND WANTING

And San Francisco – I tell you – you have been weighed on the scales of my judgement and you have been found wanting – And yet I have cried for you – San Francisco – I have wept for you and reached out to you – I have sent my Apostles – I have sent my Prophets – I have sent my Pastors to heal your land – And still you have rejected me –

But for a remnant – says the Lord – A remnant whose cries come before my throne day and night pleading for you San Francisco – For the weight of sin overwhelms you – and judgement – judgement – yes judgement is at hand – For the scales of sin are against you –

Yet still I reach out to you – and implore you repent – For a shaking draws near to you San Francisco – a SHAKING – a SHAKING – yes – a shaking draws near – and you shall be in a manner of moments BE BROUGHT TO YOUR KNEES –

PROMISE OF PROTECTION FOR GODS SERVANTS

But for all those who have faithfully served me and stood in the gap –I shall be their HIGH TOWER – And they shall know MY protection and MY covering of their families and their possessions – and the destroyer shall pass them over – I will not – NO – I will not in any means fail them – FOR THEY ARE MINE

But I tell you – that in these latter days I shall pour out my spirit upon you – And even in the streets men and women will cry out to me and know my grace and know my presence – I shall not forsake you in that day- even though you have not known me San Francisco –

And THEN shall revival break forth in this city – And those dreams and the visions in the late night hour, that I have shown my servants who protect the city Gates - SHALL COME TO PASS. THEY SHALL COME TO PASS. THEY SHALL COME TO PASS.

YOU SHALL YET SEE THEM IN YOUR DAY.

And the flame that has been lit in the WEST COAST shall SET ABLAZE A TORCH that shall be lit that will blaze from generation to generation – and ASIA yes even ASIA shall be affected by this – And I shall send missionaries out from the West Coast to ASIA – to AUSTRALASIA – to VIETNAM – to JAPAN – to MALAYSIA – Yes – the torch shall blaze.

A QUICKENING OF MY SPIRIT

(A prophetic Word by Wendy Alec - 26 January 2007)

www.unknownprophet.com

To our very dear friends -As I was spending time with the Lord Jesus earlier, I sensed that he said to me:

"Wendy – there are many, MANY OF MY CHILDREN WHO HAVE FOUGHT WITH ALL THEIR STRENGTH TO SEE THE PROCLAIMATION OF MY GOSPEL across the earth at this time. These are my sons and daughters who have stood and fought day after day with little encouragement, yet facing so much opposition.

These are the ones who have stood against the taunting Goliaths of this present age every day of their earthly lives. And even though their arms are weary, still they fight on.

These are my beloved warriors who fight each day in the High places of the earth. I would comfort them and encourage them.

A QUICKENING OF MY SPIRIT

For surely I have seen their hearts and their innermost cries have reached up to me and have rent the heavens and quickly, quickly I am coming to them – in this next season, they shall experience a QUICKENING – a QUICKENING of my Spirit in their midst in a manner that they have not known before.

For this past season has been a TIME OF EQUIPPING, A TIME OF PREPARATION. A time of standing in the hard places of the battle – but my child, tell these ones – Tell my glorious warriors that a new day of the Kingdom is dawning – A day of Glory – A day of My Fire and My Presence – A day of QUICKENING in the battle.

A day of RELEASINGS –I AM ABOUT TO RELEASE A MIGHTY OUTPOURING OF RESOURCES – BUILDINGS – SCHOOLS - STADIUMS

For I tell you that this coming season is unlike the one that has gone before – For as many of my warriors have struggled to be resourced and equipped – I am about to RELEASE upon those that fight the battle of my kingdom a mighty outpouring of resource – Of resource and equipping – Buildings will be released –

BUILDINGS and SCHOOLS – and even STADIUMS will come into the hands of my people – of my steadfast warriors.

FAVOUR SHALL FLOW FROM GOVERNMENTS

And there shall be a great RELEASING of FAVOUR – and FAVOUR shall flow from the governments towards these ones who proclaim my kingdom – favour from KINGS and PRESIDENTS, from PRIMEMINISTERS and GOVERNMENTS – from even Downing Street and the Whitehouse unprecedented favour shall flow in a different flow and a different measure from what has been known before.

And Africa – Africa and Asia shall be a part of this. And the voice of the Church shall begin to rise in Great Britain – And this voice shall rise with CLARITY and AUTHORITY – And there shall be a shaking in the high places of Britain – But the CHURCH shall RISE.

RELEASING OF FINANCE FOR THE WORK OF GOD

And there shall be a great RELEASING of finance for the equipping of my church – From the East and the West it shall flow – from inside the church it shall flow – but from outside the walls of the established church it shall start to flood even like a torrent in this coming season.

FOR THERE HAS BEEN A WITHHOLDING FROM THE ENEMY

For there has been a great withholding and restraint over my ministries in this past season – but that BELONGING TO MY WARRIORS AND TO MY CHURCH that the devil has held will now break the constraints of his hordes and overrun the powers of hell – And a great release of kingdom resources shall overtake my warriors in this coming day.

THE SOUND OF MY ARMY HAS BEEN HEARD IN THE KINGDOMS OF DARKNESS

For I have raised up an army that is starting to march. The sound of my army has been heard in the kingdoms of darkness. And it has gripped their hearts with dread. For My warriors are rising – My warriors are rising. And there shall be a great QUICKENING – a QUICKENING of my Holy Spirit –

and a great releasing of MIRACLES is about to pour forth from those that faithfully and steadfastly have proclaimed My Kingdom – And I tell you – that MIRACLES – MIRACLES – yes miracles shall flow.

A MIGHTY QUICKENING – CREATIVE MIRACLES – RISE OF WORLDWIDE PRAYER MOVEMENT

And there shall be a mighty QUICKENING and CREATIVE MIRACLES shall be released in a manner never before seen across the earth – for there shall be a QUICKENING of My SPIRIT.

And there shall be a QUICKENING OF PRAYER - And PRAYER MOVEMENTS shall start to rise across the face of the earth. This shall not be man made – but it shall be of Me – They shall rise in Asia – they shall rise in Africa – they shall rise in the United Kingdom – they shall rise ACROSS America – They shall rise in Europe and across the Middle east – they shall rise as one – in a short season of time –

A WORLDWIDE PRAYER MOVEMENT SHALL RISE

- it shall appear as an organized prayer movement – but it will be organized by no man but by My Spirit says the Lord – and the cries of the prayers of my saints shall resound through the earth – And prepare the way for the mighty release and herald the great outpouring of My Spirit throughout the earth.

FOR ALL WHO ARE WEARY – YOU WERE BORN TO THE BATTLE – YOU WERE BORN FOR THE BATTLE

For the Lord would say – "Oh, my child - I who have held you up with my strong right hand – I who have held you and undergirded you – I would say to you that even from before your conception I knew you – and I foreordained you to be born into the earth for such a day and for such an hour. You were born TO the battle – You were born FOR the battle.

I HAVE SEEN THE PRESSINGS AND STRETCHINGS

And yes, there have been seasons that you have said in your heart – Lord – I am weary – Each day I have fought in the battle – each day of my existence in your kingdom I have known war – And yes my child – I have looked down upon your life and your ministry for me and seen the pressings and the stretchings – the pressures and the persecutions as you have fought for My Kingdom.

That even each day you have had to gird yourself with my glory and my strength even as one who goes out to war as the warriors of old. Yes – and even as my servant - King David was to me a Psalmist and a Prophet – yet he too was born TO the battle and he too was born FOR the battle.

EVEN AS I TOOK DAVID FROM THE SHEEPFOLD – SO I HAVE TAKEN YOU

And even as I took David from the sheepfold, when he was but a youth – for his love and his devotion to me and the things of my kingdom – and his worship had risen consistently before my throne – So even as I took my servant David from the sheepfold – yes – so I have taken you.

For it was by no mans hand that I raised you from the dust and out of your ragged garments. And I placed a crown of gold upon your head. And I put a new song within your heart. And day by day, month by month, my child – I took you from the sheepfold. And I taught you how to WAR.

I AM BRINGING FORTH MY WARRIORS

For it is in this day and it is in this season that I bring my warriors forth to do battle. For even now my church stands at the brink of a new outpouring of my spirit that even will herald in a last day move of my spirit," says the Lord.

"But in this dispensation in the earth, the kingdom of God comes by violence to be wrested from the powers of darkness - and the violent take it by force.And so NOW is the time – NOW is the season of the warrior – NOW is the time.

NOW is the season of the rising of those of my children that I have hidden in the backside of the wilderness – in the cleft of the rock of my Son. Now is the day and the hour where my warriors come forth. For you were born TO the battle – and you were born FOR the battle. And I have equipped you with my Holy Spirit and with my FIRE," says the Lord of Hosts. "

And even as you have been trained up in the hard places and the wilderness of testings of faith and endurance.Of storms and challenges and persecutions – these things that have been your foes in the past shall become your meat and your weaponry to fight in this coming season.

I AM CALLING MY WARRIORS TO WAR AND TO WORSHIP

For I have developed in you – my endurance – and I have grown in you fortitude and the strength of my Kings of old. And even as David fought with one hand and worshipped with the other – so too I am raising up in this day and in this hour –

WARRIORS, WARRIORS, WARRIORS

all across the earth – from the North and the South – from the east and the West – who will war with one hand – and worship with the other.

For I calling my warriors in this last church age to war and to worship – I am calling all who I birthed for the battle – to war and to worship – for the strength to endure – and to persevere – and to wage a mighty deathblow to the enemy shall come from your worship in the SECRET PLACE – in the cleft of the rock.

For it is there that even as I poured out my strategies to my servant David. And I shall pour out my strategies unto YOU.

THE FIRE OF MY PRESENCE SHALL FALL

So seek my face – my warrior – seek my face – Call upon my Name – Draw into my presence. And the fire of my presence shall fall and consume says the Lord – the FIRE of my presence shall FALL and CONSUME," says the Lord, " And you shall be girded with strength for the Battle.

And you shall be girded with power and with might and with divine strategy to prevail against the gates of Hell. Lift up your weary arms, my son, my daughter – make straight the crooked paths – For you were BORN to the battle – You were BORN to war.

"A 28-DAY PRAYER FOCUS"

(To Cause You to Think Differently and Your Faith to Soar!)

~ Chuck Pierce

www.glory-of-zion.org/

Greetings and blessings to you! May the Lord direct all of your comings and goings this year! May you see His presence go before you and may He be your rear guard. It is hard to believe that the first month of this year is almost over. I am looking forward to communicating with you this year.

Thank you for praying for our trip to Seoul, Korea for the 100th Centennial of the Pyongyang Revival. Similar to the Azusa Street Revival in the United States, the nation of Korea saw a powerful move of Holy Spirit 100 years ago.

At the meetings in Seoul earlier this month, there were 10,000 to 13,000 in attendance. The Spirit of God moved powerfully. My next Eagles of God trip will be to Europe in March when I will be leading a 10 person team to London, Paris, Luxembourg and Belfast. I will be ministering in every place except Luxembourg.

This will be the first time I visit Luxembourg, which is where my mother’s family originated. They were either ministers or business people. Praying in that nation will be key as we continue to proceed to the transfer of wealth.

I am now on a trip from Memphis to Pasadena to Las Vegas to Atlanta. The prayer focus included at the end of this letter will increase your faith for the year ahead.

WE HAVE MOVED INTO THE MONTH OF "SHEVAT!"

The month of January was primarily the Hebrew month of TEVET. This was a month to war with the evil eye. I wrote a chapter about the evil eye in Doris Wagner’s book, How to Minister Freedom. You can read an excerpt from this book by going to

http://www.gloryofzion.org/

20070127EvilEyeExcerpt.doc

Many of you have probably gone through key trials this month. This is a time that we must not give in to the power of evil watchers who try to rearrange time and legal structures. This has been a month to be aware of and pray for your Commander in Chief. Who are you connected to?

Who are the authorities in your life, and are you praying for them? Are you prepared for the future? This is a time to review your education or initiation into your next phase of life. Many have gone on fasts. These help to purify the blood so the brain and heart will function properly.

This is a season that we must not be double-minded or caught between two opinions. Ask the Lord to cleanse your conscience and “let your good eye see.”We have just entered the Hebraic month of SHEVAT. This month is biblically linked with the tribe of Asher, which means pleasure, happiness, delicious, and fatness.

However this is a month that we must be like Daniel and “beware of the delicacies of the king.” In other words, we should not have our senses dulled with over indulgence. This is a month to develop the plan of sustaining the generations. Pray for each of your children.

May those that have strayed from His path begin to hear the call to return. May they remember the love of God and start their journey back toward His Kingdom. May those on the fence cross over into the right pasture. How will your olive tree blossom?

This is the month of the letter tzadik – your righteousness becomes your foundation. This is a month of rooting. May your roots awaken to the water of life and every evil root be removed. Find your “well of life.” Look for those who are bringing pitchers of water to you. Study the life of Rebekah and the Samaritan woman. This is a time to shout, “My blessings are on the way!”

DIVINE RECOVERY

Before I led prayer a couple of weeks ago the Lord awakened me at 3 AM and said these words, “You have got to think differently for Me to open up new supply lines. Gather what has been scattered.

Decree that My Body enter into and experience a DIVINE RECOVERY. Gather what has been scattered and I will release a new supply line and give you a new measure.” Also, I hear the Lord saying, “Begin to surround that which has been stranded.

Many are afraid to move on to higher ground this hour. The enemy has convinced them that if they will stay at their present dimension then they will remain protected from him. This is not an hour to call a “truce” with the enemy.

Do not fear the rising water that is surrounding you. For the rising water is a sign that I am ready to lead you into a new pasture. Surround those who have been surrounded, and show them the way into their enlarged place.”

The Spirit of God is also saying,

“Do not be afraid to go back down to that place where you were held in the valley. The valley, or the place where you have had confined vision, is losing its strength. I have a people that are getting ready to journey and come up to the place of ‘seeing’ where I reveal Myself in a new way.

Not only will you see Me, but you will see your desires upon your enemy. If you will go back to the valley, you will find what was captured and the treasures that have been hidden there. Do not fear the giants that were in your valley. Then you will come up, and in the midst of your coming up, you will begin to see what I have for you and how the enemy had planned to waste what I had destined for you in this hour.

Even though you return to a low place, do not fear, for this will be a year that you will stand on new, high ground. For it was the high place that ruled you in your low place. Go back, return and then go up. And the throne of iniquity in your life at the high place will topple.

Worship Me on that high place and you will dance upon that which ruled you. Am I not a God that descended to ascend? Did I not go down to come up? As you descend and go down, take the key that I have set there, render the enemy powerless, and arise, arise, arise to the high place of ascension. Truly the power of My Name is at hand. The gifts in you that have lain dormant will arise as you ascend with Me, and you will have the power to RECOVER ALL!”

RECOVERY MEANS:

*To recuperate or regain what has been lost or taken

*To regain your health or get well

*To return to a state of control or authority

*To save yourself from falling, slipping or being betrayed

*To regain or RECLAIM land or substances from waste

*To retrieve a person from a bad state

*To get back by judgment

*To return to a balance FROM WEAKNESS

*To COVER AGAIN

*To RECLAIM or demand or decree that restoration of a thing will beginRecovery is part of the process of Restoration. However, recovery is linked with strategy and obedience.

Linda Heidler shared the following dream after she heard me say, “Divine Recovery.”

There was a black object (like material blowing in the wind) calling from a hill for me to come to it. Then the dream changed, and I saw the blue chairs like we have in the sanctuary of Glory of Zion, but the floor was concrete rather than carpeted.

On top of the chairs there were flats of brown eggs stacked about five or six flats high. Lots of people were crowding around and I thought the eggs would be knocked off and broken. At the same time, I saw that the people wanted the eggs to be broken so that they could pick up the shells.

They could not see that the eggs were valuable for food. They could not see the resource that the eggs were, but they saw great value in the shells. What they wanted to do with the shells was to put them on a shelf so that people would see that they had an egg shell. The word I heard was ‘relics.’

The people were treating the egg shells like the Medieval Church treated relics. The Lord then spoke to me and said, “Reposition your resources so that you do not suffer loss.”In the next part of the dream I was walking along a path on a hillside. I came across a beautiful jar half full of olives, but people had started to use it as a trash can.

I cleaned all of the trash out because I knew that the olives were still good. I continued walking and came around a curve in the path and there was the black thing I had seen in the first part of the dream. It spoke again and said, “

Oh! I am so happy that you are here. I’ve been here all alone, but now you are here. Please don’t leave me.” It had long things that looked like arms, but were only black fabric blowing in the wind. I looked up and where the head should have been there was a small black and white TV. Some sort of TV show was on it.

I felt sorry for this thing, but knew that I had to get away. I ran past it. As soon as I was on the other side, I knew that if I had stayed, it would have captured me and I would have become part of the TV show. When Linda shared this dream, I began to interpret.

The Lord said, “Do not look at the shell. Peer through. I will show you how to secure what you need to secure for resources. Look beyond the decay and trash. Underneath is the oil of anointing for supply for the future.

Many have discarded that which is precious to them. May there be a recovery of the fruit that was there for you and the anointing that I have for you. Do not be drawn by a spirit of poverty or fantasy this hour. Peer into My eyes and see that I AM real. Poverty and fantasy are calling.

Come away and I will show you how to take a resource and prosper it fully. Do not be caught in the same scenario that has held you in the past. Even that which has become a shell around you will work as a great resource for you.

Do not keep looking at the shell, but peer through that which encased your supply for the future. If you will peer through, I will show you how to secure that which you have now so that you will have plenty of resources in days ahead.

Look beyond where you are looking now. Look deep beyond that which has been decay and trash in your life. Under that is the oil of the anointing that will cause a flow to come that you have not known. This is the time of peering deeper and going deeper than you have gone in the past so you will see what I have for you in the future.”

A SEASON TO WAR OVER YOUR SEEDS… BE SURE YOU HAVE PLANTED THEM!

Susan Stanfield, my assistant, then began to share this: “Chuck had us pick up some mustard seeds through the year in various Firsfruits services. Each seed I retrieved I placed in an envelope. Between Christmas and Starting the Year Off Right, my cat somehow knocked three seeds out of the envelope, and rather than put them back in the envelope, I thought, ‘I think I’ll just plant them and see what happens.’

I have a baby cactus plant in my kitchen window-sill, so I poked the 3 seeds into the dirt on the edge of the pot farthest away from the cactus. I thought, ‘If they ever come up I’ll have to remember I planted mustard seed there, so I don’t mistakenly pull them up, thinking that they’re weeds.’

Within three days, I noticed three little, separate leaves poking up from the dirt where I’d planted the seeds. Two are about four inches tall and the third is about three inches tall.”

When Susan shared this, I realized that many of us have stored the seed that is key to our future. Susan planted hers and it came up quickly. I want to encourage you that this is a year to war with the word of God over your seed.

Decree that this will be the year that the seed you have planted will sprout. DO NOT horde your seed, but plant and sow your seed and watch a great harvest begin in your life. God is going to give you new supply. You will gather what has been scattered. New supply is coming in for us to give. Ask God for new supply so that you can give in an increased measure.

GETTING OUR LIGHT FROM UNDER THE BUSHEL (BASKET)!

This is the year of the Lamp Stand. Our Light must be bright and full this year! We cannot be lukewarm. The Sevenfold Spirit of God is longing to manifest within us and bring us into the fullness of His identity. We must shine!

This is year for our “submerged” identities to be dealt with. He longs for us to be who He created us to be. Be bold as you enter into the days ahead.

UNDER HIS WING: THE YEAR OF CLASHING SWORDS!

These are critical times that require us to think differently. At the end of the Feast of Tabernacles, the Lord visited me and asked many questions.

Any time the Lord wants us to think differently, He asks a question and waits for our answer. This is how critical thinking works. Here is a list of questions for you to meditate on before the Lord that will cause you to think differently in days ahead. This prayer focus will cause your faith to go to the next dimension. May you enlarge your way of thinking and increase your faith in 2007.

MEDITATE AND GIVE HIM AN ANSWER TO THE FOLLOWING.

28 DAYS TO TRANSFORM YOUR THINKING FOR THE YEAR AHEAD!

This prayer focus will take you through the month of February. Many of the days require you to answer a question the Lord is asking. Record your thoughts. Meditate upon His word so you break the power of limitation from your life and renew your mind!

Day 1: Read Proverbs 3. Lean not on your own understanding. Ask the Lord for your strategy of giving this year. Ask Him to fill your storehouses.

Day 2: Read Romans 8. Declare that your mind will submit to your spirit-man. Ask the Lord to fill your spirit with the Holy Spirit.

Day 3: Read Luke 18:35-43. Notice the question. Answer this as if you were the blind man being asked by Jesus... “What do you want ME to do for YOU?”

Day 4: Read 2 Kings 4, Mark 8:1-10. What do you HAVE that the Lord can USE? Reevaluate your resources and let the Lord reveal strategies for multiplication.

Day 5: Read I Kings 17, Luke 14:25-33. Will you put ME FIRST? Many times we fail the test of prioritizing our loyalty. Sometimes we must give first before our resources multiply.

Day 6: Read Matthew 26:31-35. Who are you really connected with? Will you stand with those who the Lord has connected you to? Reevaluate all of your connections and alignments.

Day 7: Read Luke 5:1-11. Is your net mended? Will you let the Lord direct you into a new place? Are you ready for the call that He has for your future?

Day 8: Read Luke 5:12-16. Will you boldly pursue the Lord and allow Him to touch you in a new way?

Day 9: Read Isaiah 6, John 21. Have you surrendered to your call? Are you willing to be touched so you speak in a new way?

Day 10: Read Mark 8:22-26. Could you tolerate being SPIT ON? Are you so conventional that an unconventional method of change would offend you?

Day 11: Read Mark 7:24-30. Are you OK to begin with the CRUMBS? Many of us are unwilling to take whatever we can get to start into a new season.

Day 12: Mark 9:33-37. Are you arguing over where you fit? Are you attempting to exalt yourself instead of waiting to be positioned properly? Is spiritual ambition driving you?

Day 13: Read 2 Samuel 5:1-16. Are YOU willing to go up the WATER SPOUT? The Lord has ways to determine who will be the leaders of the future.

Day 14: Read Luke 16:1-13 Are you more SHREWD than the world? Are you single-minded?

Day 15: Read Luke 13:10-17. Are you bent over or standing UPRIGHT? Has Satan weakened you in a way that keeps you from advancing?

Day 16: Read 1 Chronicles 21. Who will correct you? Day 17: Matthew 25:1-13. This is a year of the lampstand. Is your Lamp or Candle TRIMMED?

Day 18: Mark 9:14-29. Can you BELIEVE? Are you without faith in some areas?

Day 19: Read 2 Kings 8. Are you cutting your losses and MOVING ON? If so, you will see the Lord bring back what you have lost.

Day 20: Read Acts 12. Are you ready to open the door for the next move of God? Are you ready to see your prayers answered?

Day 21: Read Acts 19:1-7. Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?

Day 22: Read 1 Thessalonians 5:12-23, James 5. Is your fire BURNING?

Day 23: Read Psalm 100, Genesis 26, Numbers 20:14-21. Are you willing to dig a new well and move on? Spend the day praising Him so that wells that have been shut up in your life will spring up. Get past anger, enmity, and contention. Build a new altar of worship.

Day 24: Read Luke 10:25-37. Will you stop along your way to help someone else?

Day 25: Read Genesis 12-15, 26, 28. How shall you inherit your promises? The Lord has your portion and your blessings. Let Him point you into faith.

Day 26: Read Isaiah 54. Do you see the weapons formed against you?

Day 27: Read Jeremiah 32, 33. Is there anything too hard for God? Call out to Him in a new way.

Day 28: Read Joshua 5, Daniel 1. Fast as the Lord leads you and expect visitation.

Happy New Year, and may you think critically in these critical times ahead. Receive a FINISHING ANOINTING to finish or complete those things that need to be completed in your life!

Blessings, Chuck D. Pierce
