A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM:
~ CHUCK PIERCE
"WE MUST CRY OUT FOR SHAKING"
Dear Watchmen: Thank you for your faithfulness to pray for this nation. God is rising up a new system in this land. I do not believe we have seen all the changes that will occur. Hang on--the next two years will be like walking through a field of flying arrows.
I feel that our political system is out of array with God's will for the land. May a Holy Spirit revolution begin and awaken God's Kingdom plan in His people. May the Spirit-filled people in our nation create an atmosphere of change that causes a rebuilding of the political structure that has grown crusty and dull from political ideology rather than filled with wisdom from the Father's Throne Room.
Remember--this is the Year of the Sword. We are in for a great shaking in this land. As I've written before, in the midst of seeking God, we need to reorder the civil government during our prayer watches. God can call you to stand in the gap between the Republican and Democratic Parties. That is what intercessors do--stand in the gap!
You can decree that God is going to fill the gap. This has to be done! Find your place on the wall! Watch! Use your sword to decree the will of the Lord for the land. In this nation, we are being visited by a Holy, Righteous God.
One definition of visitation is linked with the casting of a vote. How we vote is how we are asking to be visited. This vote by a nation is a vote for change. However, in the midst of a nation wanting change, I believe we have opened the door to many demonic forces.
Satan changes times and laws to attempt to confine us to a plan that would restrict our freedom. Our recent vote as a nation could be an indication that we have missed the opportunity to be liberated from legal boundaries that favor demonic activity. Therefore, we must cry out for a shaking.
THE SWORD IS COMING TO CHANGE THE ATMOSPHERE
The sword is coming to shake the atmosphere. This shaking will be a Psalm 29 shaking! The voice of the Lord is shaking the forest bare. In other words, we are beginning to see the light at the end of the woods.
This is a "Hansel and Gretel" season where we seem to have been seduced, led into the woods, and captured by a form of bewitching knowledge. We are now finding the strategy to break out of the "oven" and run back into a place of safety.
The voice of God will cause the enemy to speak forth or try to bring forth his plan outside of God's timing. Then we will be like Esther and go to war to overthrow the decrees that are set against God's covenant.
Another form of visitation comes in the concept of an "audit" or "census." The Lord is auditing the nation state by state, and reviewing how the Body is gathering and worshipping. He is taking a census of where His people are and how they are standing.
I would encourage you to get a copy of Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation and pray through the prophetic revelation for each state. (Go to: www.glory-of-zion.org) to order this book.)
"We are not a people that operate by sight, but by faith. We decree change by faith, and will watch God creatively intervene in this land." To have your sword sharpened, you must go to the high places to release the high praises!
Our sword is being made sharp! This is not without a cost. You must worship where the "thrones of iniquity" have been built. (The book The Worship Warrior: Ascending in Worship, Descending in War is very important to help you understand this concept. (Go to: www.glory-of-zion.org to order.)
Like David, we must surprise and overthrow the Jebusite structure that has held our inheritance captive (II Samuel 5). "New sounds are forming in Heaven. We must birth these sounds into the earth."
TRIM YOUR WICKS, AND WATCH AND WAIT
I would encourage you to "trim your wicks", watch, and wait patiently for the Lord to come. Do not be like the "unwise virgins" and lose your expectation of what will happen in days ahead!
This unexpected delay (such as in the state of South Dakota) will not faze those who are trimming their wicks and conserving their oil. Wait patiently and watch carefully for we are in a process of being trimmed.
The Holy Spirit has delayed His coming into the civil government until He has fully tweaked, groomed, and empowered the government of the Church. Let our love become hot again for Him! We will then see the civil government realize that there is a force in the land that is contending for God's covenant plan to manifest.
Watch the floods that are occurring in the land. They are indicators of the river of God that is rising. That river will become torrential and devastating to some, and refreshing and moving to others--bringing us to a new place of harvest. The river of God is stirring the fish. They are coming to the surface.
The Lord will fill our nets if we will creatively stand in the rising river and not fear being swept away.
RISE UP FOR THE NEW REVOLUTION
The level of contention between the two-party system is overwhelming. The concept of revolution and revolutionaries is brewing in the land. This nation was birthed on revolution and will see revolution again.
As I've said before, the party leaders appear to be like the two women in the Bible arguing over the one live baby (I Kings 3).
There are some that have a righteous heart for the Lord. There are others who are motivated by political ambition. This is a Judas spirit. May the "one" who has the heart of God for this nation rise up, and come into a new place of nurturing and leadership for our nation.
The other will be invaded by the "son of perdition" to wreak havoc against God's people and wear down their minds. I have been studying the end of 1 Kings 18 and the beginning of 1 Kings 19, and asking the Lord for revelation over the "Baal" structures that would oppose our nation.
Elijah faithfully carried the word of the Lord in his heart until the time came to intercede, bring God's word into the atmosphere, and produce change. Upon confrontation from the strongman (Jezebel) at the end of that season, he ran. He "saw" the demonic forces empowering her and could not stand before them without a new word from the Lord.
Stand firm, do not run! Wait for the next word, and we will see a generation arise that will overthrow the Jezebel structure in the land. From the war in Iraq, Babylonian spirits have brought great confusion into this land.
There is a wind of the Spirit that will begin to blow from January 6 through June 6, that will clear up much of this confusion. Watch Israel in June!
A new strength will arise in that nation. There will come a move at that time for us to compromise or rearrange our support for God's covenant land. Stand and command these spirits that would negatively direct our government to be blown from their position of influence.
You are a blessing. Do not let any failure mentality come upon you. Continue to allow the Lord to prepare you for the future!
Trimming Your Wick and Waiting Expectantly!
Blessings, Chuck D. Pierce
