Cut Ties, Cut Losses, and Position Yourself for the Wind of the FUTURE! A Call to Watch and Blow!

August 18, 2009

Dear Friends:

Below, please notice our call to the shofar players and the watchmen! For those of you who want an update of Rebekah (Pierce) Faubion. You can go to her blog at http://asiseeit.n-son.com

This Sunday I heard the Spirit of God say, “Some of you have had the fight knocked out of you.  The Spirit of God is bringing a new wind of strength to cause a new fight to rise up in you.  The fight has been knocked out of you because you stayed in an atmosphere too long.”Anne Tate began to prophesy: “At this time I am breaking old associations and configurations.  My lines are greater than any ley line the enemy could lay.” I then heard the Lord say: “Rise up!  Let My atmosphere rise up around you and cut the ties necessary, so that I can cause you to fight again and be set into a changing wind. I am breaking down the old structure you’ve been protecting.  It is you that has been protecting an old structure saying, ‘Remake what I’m comfortable in.’ I’m breaking that down.

“Catch the changing wind of My Spirit, for you will land in a new place, in a new dimension of My Spirit.  You will say, ‘I see a new land and I’m leaving the winds from the wilderness’. You had expectations in some relationships that you’re still trying to work out.  I’ve been contending to cut you loose from those relationships.  I am contending over you so that you rise up above the inordinate structure of the enemy that has been placed around you.  Get ready to rise up, for I am contending and My sword is the strongest. Raise your sails and catch the wind.  You have been in a dry and desolate land.  But even though water has not been there for you to move forward, I will send the water if you will raise the sail.

“This is a week to know My presence.  This is a time to know My ark and to know what ark you are to enter to journey into your future.  I am causing My presence to flood in the land.  Raise your sail and watch the glory begin to take you to a new place. Don’t hesitate.  Hesitation is set as a snare to My movement for your life.  Let your faith push you and catapult you.  When you hear the wind of truth being spoken into a situation, move immediately.  You don’t want to miss the boat.  You don’t want to miss your proper alignment.  Don’t hesitate.  Delay is set as a trap.   The word is critical in this hour.  The intensity that is behind the word is pushing you forward at speeds and levels that we know not of, so don’t hesitate and don’t fall for the trap.

 “Within the sands of your desert, there is a highway.  But in the sands of your desert you have grown accustomed to the atmosphere and the “sirocco” wind that has been around you.   In the sands of your desert, create a new atmosphere and  I will cause that highway that is down deep to rise up.  For there are ways of escape for My people in this next season.   There are ways of escape that are forming, but you must create the wind that causes the highway to rise in front of you.  I am laying the road.  I am laying a road.  Watch it form now.  Go with Me on this new road, for you are headed into a place that you have not been.   You must bring forth the wind and create the road so that you can end up where I have called you to be - new businesses, new alignments, new assignments. 

I’m having you to return to some business associates that you separated from and chose to walk a different direction from in this past season.  Even now you will go back and reform a new way to venture forward.  New ventures are on the horizon for My people.  You must now grab hold and get on a highway that sets you ahead of the curve.  You will go back and re-form a plan with them like Paul went back and got John Mark. These relationships will no longer be the same, but will be brought under a new covenant plan.  They were once in an old structure, but now will be brought into a new structure.  If those relationships are unwilling to come into a new structure, move on down the road for there are new relationships that will create this new venture.  I will give some opportunities that did not manifest in the past season and now they will have an opportunity for a manifestation in this season.  The ventures of My people now will take a shift in their formation. Realign and then align again so that those ventures might manifest properly!”

I am so grateful for the revelation the Lord is releasing to us, and that you choose to connect with us here at Glory of Zion International.  This morning in The Issachar School, Robert Heidler taught on “Restoring Emotional Health for the War Ahead!”  Don’t miss these teachings. This class will help you learn how to confront the lies of the enemy and restore your soul.  You can go to our webstore to purchase your “on demand” e-ticket and watch this class through Monday night.  The cost is $15.

The Lord created us with emotions, but all too often, we either repress and deny our feelings or express them in ways that do not promote wholeness.  If we choose to believe the lies the enemy seeks to convince us of, we open the door to destruction and loss.  But God! Next Tuesday I will be reviewing various Biblical leaders and how they correctly or incorrectly displayed their emotions.  I look forward to ministering on Emotional Models and Timing Expressions.   For more information on the Issachar School or to register for this class, go to www.gloryofzion.org or call 1-888-965-1099 and ask for Rose.

A Call to All who release the Sound of the Shofar from Allen Faubion
Throughout history whenever God prepares to intervene significantly in the earth and in the lives of His people He appoints His people to announce His coming with the blasts of the shofar.  This year during the month of Elul (August 20-September 17), God is calling us to announce His presence in a special way for the harvest and season we are preparing to enter.  Our assignment is to see that every day in Elul we break open each day with God’s mighty sound.  If you blow a shofar or you have a way to release the sound of the shofar in your area (some release the shofar sound by playing the GZI CD “Sound the Shofar”) and would like to join me in fulfilling this awesome assignment you can do so by taking the following steps:

1)      Choose the date(s) you will blow the shofar.  Pick a day or several days from August 20 through September 17.  You may choose any day or days except a Saturday.

2)      Email your shofar schedule.  Send your schedule commitment to allenf[at]gloryofzion.org and write “Shofar” in the subject lin.  In the email include your name, location, time zone, and the date(s) you will release the sound of the shofar.

3)      Facebook your shofar testimony to Chuck’s Facebook page and send a copy to allenf[at]gloryofzion.org. On the date(s) you release the sound of the shofar please take a moment to write a brief testimony of your experience and what the Holy Spirit did in you or revealed to you.

A Call to WATCH from Anne Tate
I have been doing the watches for years and just this week learned new things about the Night Watches when Chuck spoke on Sunday.  He called our attention to Ruth 3 when Naomi tells Ruth that Boaz is going to be winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.  Chuck was referring to The Second or Midnight Watch, which runs from 9 PM until midnight.  I had never seen this before and it really gave this watch increased dimension for me.  In Chuck’s book Reordering Your Day, he quotes Psalms 119:62, “At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you, because of your righteous judgments”(NKJV).  He goes on to say that this is the watch that is a time for thanksgiving and visitation.  It is a time of preparation when you are being prepared to receive many acts of change in the earth.  This is a time when the enemy is trying to keep us from entering into His perfect plan for our lives and right now we are in a season of that resistance until October 17th.  It is a perfect time for us to gain greater momentum and revelation to overthrow the enemy in this watch.

Chuck has also heard prophetically that we are to press into the Fourth Watch or Morning Watch when the new day dawns from 3:00 AM – 6:00 AM, as the Lord awakens us.  Again, in Chuck’s book Reordering Your Day, he points out that this is a watch where there is much spiritual activity occurring.  Chuck believes many times we are awakened during this watch because of a dream that God has given us.  It might help you to refresh yourself by reading again the portion of his book that tells us how to prepare yourself for dreams.  This watch is most often equated with Peter’s trial that led him to deny his relationship with the Lord.  Chuck’s message on Sunday offered much insight into this watch and I would recommend you watch the webcast replay or order the DVD.

I believe the Lord has much “new” He wants to release to us in this season of Elul as a result of us coming to increased understanding and revelation in the Night Watch.  I look forward to participating in the Night Watch with the broadened strategy the Lord has released to break us into the new ten year cycle so that we finish well and are aligned to begin strong as we approach the King in the field.

First Prayer Meeting on the Land
On Saturday, August 29, we will be having our first corporate prayer gathering on the land at 6 AM (CDT).  Those of you in the area may want to join us as we begin to intercede and travail for the Lord’s plans and purposes for that land to be birthed.  We are also planning a live webcast of that gathering as well. 

Following this time of prayer will be a day of “preparing the land”.  Pam Pierce and Lee Forest will be leading a team of volunteers in a number of projects to prepare the land for Head of the Year and our future development of those 31 acres.  Please continue praying for the final release of resources needed to secure the last few acres!  If you would like to give towards our final land payment, you can go to our website (and note LAND in the comments field) or call 1 (888) 965-1099 or 1 (940) 382-7231.

Get Positioned for Victory this Weekend!
I am looking forward to Positioned for Victory with special guest Robert StearnsThis Thursday morning, I will actually be with Robert on a conference call to help raise awareness for the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem (see details below).  He has such an incredible gift to help the Body of Christ ascend in worship and receive heavenly revelation for the course ahead.  He also carries a deep love for God’s covenant plan and people.

As we enter the final month of this Samekh Season, we must be certain that our “closings” are secure and that we are positioned to enter the Head of the Year next month with an anointing to break into the newThere is NO CHARGE or registration required to come to this week’s gathering.  We will begin on Friday night at 7:30 PM and meet all day Saturday.  You can go to our website or call the office for more details.  The webcast will also be without charge.  Our Judah School focus will be on “The Presence War: The Tribes and the Ark”. To gain Judah School credit for this weekend, you will need to call 1-888-965-1099 or 1-940-382-7231 and ask for Rose. 

Firstfruits Gathering this Saturday Night!
I look forward to seeing many of you at our Firstfruits Gathering this Saturday night at 7:00 PM (CDT) when we celebrate the Rosh Chodesh blessing of the Hebraic month of Elul.  We are so honored that Eitan Shishkoff will be joining us.  Eitan Shishkoff is a respected apostolic leader in Israel.  The anointing and authority he carries will help us move to a new level of understanding the power of “one new man”.       

I will be sharing on the blessing for this month.  This is the month of the tribe of Gad, a month to find your place in the order of the camps of the Lord.  Elul is also a month to when the King is in the field, and when rewards begin to manifest from how you have positioned yourself in the past season.  Additionally, Elul is traditionally a month of self-examination and repentance before the Lord in preparation for the High Holy Days of Yom T’ruah (The Day of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah) and Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement).  So I hope you can join with us for this special gathering when we honor the Lord with our firstfruits of time and giving.  There is no registration needed to join us on Saturday evening, in person or by webcast.  

For those of you who cannot join us, we will offer the Firstfruits Celebration “on demand” through next Saturday (August 29) night.  Go to our website for more details on joining all of our webcasts.  Don’t forget our special webcast replays this month for Tuesday and Wednesday Corporate Prophetic Intercession.  Our Tuesday prayer, which is available all week “on demand,” is He Is Able!  Our Wednesday prayer (which begins tomorrow starting at Noon CDT and then will be available “on demand” through next Tuesday evening) will be Let Me Touch Your Lips So You Taste and Speak in a New Way!  If you have not been able to watch this month’s Zebulun School class, “Positioned for Growth”, you can still register to watch that “on demand” through August 30.  Go to our webstore to purchase that e-ticket. 

Phone Conference Call this Thursday Morning
I want to invite you to join a special phone conference call this Thursday morning at 9 AM (CDT).  Robert Stearns or Eagles’ Wings Ministry will be coordinating this call to discuss the upcoming Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem (DPPJ) on October 4 as well as to address the present situation in the Middle East.  Pastor Wayne Hilsden will also be joining this live call. To join this call on Thursday morning at 9 AM, please call 1-712-432-0075 and enter Participant Access Code: 7739242.  (Regular phone rates may apply.)

Sound the Shofar - by Allen Faubion
Now with Updated and Expanded Teaching!


From the earliest of times God chose the ram’s horn or “shofar” as one of His instruments to release this sound. Awesome things take place when the shofar sounds according to the command of the Lord God Almighty. Walls fall down (Jericho), enemies are destroyed (Gideon), the presence of God manifests (Sinai), and God’s people enter into the covenant cycle of blessing God has prepared for us (Feasts).  On this CD, Allen Faubion both shares on and demonstrates the power and anointing of sounding the shofar according to the command of the Lord.  Sound the Shofar!  ($10)


Moving from Trauma and Failure to Healing and Success by Chuck D. & Pam Pierce


The Body of Christ is moving forward at an accelerated rate toward fulfillment this season.  However, when trauma is not processed correctly it can lock up our emotions and create a self-defeating mentality.  But God!  Now is the time to learn that we can actually enter into the benefits of trauma as we continue moving forward.  Pam shares on the levels of regret and how to overcome the power of regret.  In this 4 CD collection, allow your faith to be stirred for new freedom, and leave the power of trauma behind to stake your claim for the future!  SPECIAL: $15  (regularly $25)

Shame: Identity Thief by Dr. Henry Malone


The enemy does not play fair with our traumas or failures. He has a strategy to create a failure mentality within us. This book helps you remove a "sticky" covering of shame linked with your past. This is also a wonderful book to assist you in finding out who you were meant to be. We highly recommend Shame: Identity Thief for those who are searching for significance. ($10)


Anatomy of Seduction by Jack Hayford


Today’s world is a minefield of temptation, ready to bombard any one of us with destructive blasts of the indecent and the lewd – from the glamorization of immoral lifestyle choices to the acceptance of marital infidelity, pornography and perversion as the norm. Pastor Hayford speaks frankly about the traps of sexual and moral seduction and equips you with practical application of biblical wisdom to stand the ground of a disciple. The Anatomy of Seduction highlights four simple yet powerful principles for facing temptation, and is a powerful tool for overcoming and securing freedom from sexual bondage.
