May 7, 2004
Dear Friends and Faithful Supporters:
Thank you for praying for my family. My wife, Pam, graduated from Southwestern Christian University on Saturday. John Mark then took his final test on Wednesday and began his new job at Dillards here in Denton. I just returned from Washington DC and the National Day of Prayer Conference that helped pave the way for the National Day of Prayer; it also served as our 50-State Tour meeting for Washington DC. On Wednesday morning I shared from Psalm 18. Verses 7-12 say:
“Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken, because He was angry. Smoke went up from His nostrils, and devouring fire from His mouth; coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down with darkness under His feet. And He rode upon a cherub, and flew; He flew upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness His secret place; His canopy around Him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. From the brightness before Him, His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.”
The Lord told me to lead the people in asking for hailstones to fall on Capitol Hill to verify His word. Dutch Sheets then began to prophesy, “There is going to be a confrontation in Washington DC this week. There is going to be a clash of Ahab, Jezebel, Baal and Asherah. There is going to be a clash of those with my Spirit. Then we are going to find out who is God.”
I then began to prophesy: “For this is your time of connecting. For you
have been plowing and plowing and plowing, but now this is a time to plant and
root. I am beginning to ‘root in’ that which will ‘sprout forth’ at the
time of harvest by the end of September. Root now, root now, root now
so you will begin to spring forth and begin to sprout in a new way by the time
of harvest! Watch that which is working at night, for at night the seeds are
being stolen. This is a time that you will stand for 21 days from 12 to
3 at night and you will say that you will protect that which is being planted,”
sayeth the Lord.
I actually began to see a window forming at the
end of August into September. I continued prophesying, “Protect, protect,
protect that which is being planted in the Spirit NOW so that the darkness and
the watchers in the night cannot uproot that which I am putting in now.
You will overthrow that force from the outside that will uproot. So root now,
protect and watch the sprout occur.
Do not be confused by that which will be flying through
the air throughout the summer months of this particular city. For it will be
like vultures in combat over this city. But they will not be able to remove
this word. Even though the locust would come to devour you, I will restore.
I have a restorative plan to not allow the locust to eat the crop where the
seeds are being planted now. My restorative plan is being planted deep. Do
not let the deceiver remove My restorative plan. Plant deep now! You will
have victory, so you will have victory over those locusts.”
That same day hail covered the city!
EAGLES OF GOD MISSIONARY TRIP TO EUROPE
Another major blessing is that we received our approved Visas yesterday. Whew and Hallelujah! Our first application to the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington DC was blocked. So, last week, we used another travel agency which sent our applications to the Ukrainian Embassy in New York, where they were approved. This international trip has been very difficult to get in place. I am so thankful for your prayer support and giving. We are so glad you will be a part of this trip.
This Sunday I will be departing for my next Eagles of God trip to Europe. The other seven team members are Diane Buker, Marty Cassady, Linda Heidler, Brian Kooiman, Ginny Marks, and John & Sheryl Price. We will be traveling from Sunday, May 9 – Tuesday, May 18. We begin by flying to Kiev, Ukraine.
Dr. Peter Wagner is assembling a meeting of apostles from across the nations
of the former Soviet Union. Although we have held similar European gatherings
in Norway and Italy, as well as the nation of Nigeria, we have not specifically
targeted the former Communist-Bloc nations. We are expecting around 30 leaders
from these nations to draw together to begin to share and partner in a new way,
so that a great Harvest can be reaped from this region.
Our host, Sunday Adelajah (a Nigerian), pastors the
largest church in all of Europe. So know that the Spirit of God is moving in
the Ukraine! This two-day meeting will be on May 11–12. This will not be the
easiest place to travel, so please pray for our safety while in that nation.
Just press through for us in prayer.
Next, we travel to Stuttgart, Germany and Birmingham, England for national prophetic gatherings. Sharon Stone, the Coordinator for Christian International in Europe, will be hosting these gatherings. I will be ministering with her in each of those nations to a remnant desperately wanting to see the glory of the Lord sweep through their land once again. The meeting in Stuttgart, Germany will be on May 13–14 and we will then fly to England for the final sessions of their meeting on May 15. For more information on these meetings you can write CI Europe at cieurope@aol.com.
On Sunday, May 16, we fly to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Our purpose
in traveling to this city once again (we traveled there in September 2002) is
to prepare for the major worship celebration we will be having there August
14, 2004. As we have progressed in gaining wisdom over the dominion of the
Queen of Heaven, we have seen progress in nations.
The Queen of Heaven is the spiritual force controlled
by the Prince of the Power of the Air that motivates Jezebel in the earth realm.
In other words, the Queen is the spiritual force. A Jezebel type is a physical
force or person doing the Queen’s bidding to bring havoc, to seduce and to control
the governments in the earth. Every time there is a great spiritual advance
of the Kingdom of God in the earth in one of the nations where we have met and
praised and prayed, we know that we have gained a new level of authority in
the earth realm over this structure that would stop God’s government from advancing.
I am so excited about Santiago de Compostela. I see this from a prophetic
standpoint. Millions of people from multiple countries make pilgrimages to
Santiago believing that James will intercede for them and that their sins will
be forgiven. James supposedly “appeared” here after his death. The Queen
of Heaven is using this false worship of James to hold many in darkness.
2004 is the year of “The Door.” The cathedral
in that city is built in the honor of the Apostle James, brother of John, and
it is one of the top three destinations for Catholic pilgrims from all over
Europe, rivaling or surpassing Rome and Jerusalem. In Santiago a special door
in the Cathedral is opened once every 7 years. This is one of those “door
years.” The masses believe that if they walk through this physical door, they
will be saved and their sins forgiven.
I believe worship is the key to overthrowing
a throne of iniquity. Worship opens a Door in Heaven (Rev. 4:1).
Therefore, in the plaza outside this cathedral, we are planning a worship gathering
of several thousand to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ. Worship in that place will
create a new atmosphere connecting heaven and earth in a new way, resulting
in salvation. Some of you need to get in touch with us and go on this trip.
On Monday, May 17, we will meet with local leaders and Believers from across
that region to encourage them in their faith. Additionally, we are hoping
to meet with local officials (civil or with the Catholic Church) to further
secure their support of the worship celebration. The door to a meeting with
the Catholic Church appears to be closed, but we may still have the opportunity
to meet with a civic official.
Please pray that any door of opposition and
resistance to this worship-gathering would be broken through, that we can
serve and encourage the Believers in that region, and that final decisions for
the worship gathering will be reached and implemented. On Tuesday, May 18,
we fly back to the United States. A summary of our time is:
| May 9–10 | Travel to UKRAINE |
| May 11–12 | Former USSR Apostolic Summit with Sunday Adelajah; Kiev, Ukraine |
| May 13 (AM) | Travel to GERMANY |
| May 13–14 | National Prophetic Conference in Stuttgart, Germany with Sharon Stone |
| May 15 (AM) | Travel to ENGLAND |
| May 15 | National Prophetic Conference in Birmingham, England with Sharon Stone |
| May 16 | Travel to SPAIN |
| May 17 | Local and preparatory meetings in Santiago de Compostela, Spain |
| May 18 | Travel home (arrive back PM) |
Here are some specific ways you can be interceding for this trip:
The nations are in turmoil, so your prayers and support are vitally important through this trip. Read Psalm 2. This is key for us at this time.
Blessings,

Key Resources for this Time:
Four Books to Train You for Spiritual Battle
The Queen’s Domain, edited by C. Peter Wagner ($8.00)
Peter Wagner has pulled together five Christian leaders and intercessors who lead us to discover where the Body of Christ is headed in prayer for an even greater Harvest. This book really helps you understand who the “Queen of Heaven” is and where her domain is. In my chapter, I discuss how we can transfer wealth from the Queen’s domain into the Kingdom of God. This book also helps explain how fervent prayer for the 40/70 Window will have a ripple effect throughout the nations of the world.
What the Bible Says About Spiritual Warfare, by C. Peter Wagner ($8.00)
This is a great book to help you understand prayer and spiritual warfare. In an easy Q&A format, Wagner addresses many critical issues to lead us into an understanding of our role and authority in spiritual warfare. He defines strategic level warfare, provides the biblical basis for spiritual warfare’s methods, and helps us focus on the Lord rather than the enemy.
Winning Your Spiritual Battles, by Gary D. Kinnaman ($11.00)
This book is a practical guide for overcoming the dominion of darkness through biblical principles and Spirit-empowered living. As he reviews each facet of our spiritual armor, Kinnaman teaches us how to put on the full armor of God and win our spiritual battles.
Transformed! Ten Principles for Sustaining Genuine Revival, by Alistair P. Petrie ($12.00)
Do you long for revival in your life, your church, your community and beyond? Have you ever wondered why revivals have come to particular areas with such wonders and passion, and then seemed to melt away? Petrie offers insight into these questions, examines the critical factors behind what makes revival happen and what causes it to endure.

************************
Two CDs that Will Press You Forward
Let the Lion of Judah ROAR CD by the Glory of Zion International Worship Team ($12.00)
This is a great CD for warfare. There is a sound of heaven that allows us to embrace the process of ascending to the Throne Room, being clothed in God’s authority, and descending into war. This sound is captured on this live worship recording. Songs include “Raise up a Roar”, “Lazarus, Come Forth”, “No Apology”, “Judah’s Mane”, and “Get Up!”. If you are looking to have your “mane” blown back, then this CD is for you!
New! The Harvest Series: Crossing Over CD by the Glory of Zion International Worship ($6.00)
I am doing something a little different with this music CD. This is the first of our Harvest Series of songs that God is bringing this year to get us ready to cross over into the Harvest. This CD is called “Crossing Over.” I am not including as many songs but rather the songs that the Lord is birthing or using in our prophetic prayer times at Glory of Zion International this year. This first CD in the series has three songs on it: March All Night, The Best is Yet Ahead, and Jump in the River. This CD causes our spirit to be stirred up so we are ready to move forward. Don’t stop. The best is yet ahead!
You can order both of these items for the special price of $15 and we pay the postage (US orders only).
