Reaching Out to Demonstrate Who You Are!

Dear Advancing Ones:

This is a time of seeking, seeing and pursuing!  Although the path and promises before you may seem unattainable, there is a way through the hard place you may be experiencing.  The Lord is able to part the “Red Sea” and cause His anointing within you to break open the way.  We saw this expressed throughout our Father’s Day Celebration Service in worship, ministry and teaching.  As Robert Heidler shared, the role of a father is to lead his offspring into God’s blessing.  Like Abraham, God is a Father who wants to bless His children, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.  Whether it is for healing, restoration, finances, family or any other need, choose to seek the Father with your whole heart and embrace the rewards of pursuit!

Reaching Out!

There is a place for you to reach out and demonstrate who you are!  You are a part of the new move of God, and will be used to demonstrate His identity in the world around you.  Here are two videos that show Christine Patu, Celestine Pierce, Chenia Patu and Peni Patu, our Hawaiian ohana (family), helping dedicate Hawaiian Bros, a new restaurant in Fort Worth.  Although your sound and movement may differ, you have a call to reach out!

• 

• 

Here is another great example of reaching out into the local community.  Michelle and Bibi Arenas entered the Denton County Master Gardener Association Fruit, Vegetable, Herb and Flower Show.  This mother-daughter duo each won 1st Runner Up ribbons for their incredible entries in the adult and youth divisions, respectively.  Do not hesitate to display your fruitfulness and receive God’s favor

Prayer for Pine Ridge Reservation

One of God’s “first” principles is the importance of the Host People of a land.  Norma Blacksmith is a Lakota Sioux elder on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.   In 2018, she started Mountain Movers, an intercessory group with members from all nine of the Lakota reservations in South Dakota. Historically, the U.S. government separated the Lakota Sioux Indians onto nine separate reservations to punish their resistance and break their strength.  As you can read below, Norma invites us to join her and others in prayer this Wednesday for our First Nations people at the Pine Ridge Reservation. 

This Wednesday (June 23) we are asking all Churches and people to take the day to fast and that evening to come together and pray for the Lord to deliver the people of Pine Ridge Reservation and for salvation. We are asking that each group in your area get together and pray simply for the Pine Ridge reservation. Any great revival that began in this country started with the dedication of a church to start praying for it. If we join in unity as Churches on the Reservation God will know our sincerity. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Please join in this fasting and prayer with us. Let’s make this a sacred day and a new beginning.

Blessings,

Dear Advancing Ones:

This is a month of determination!  Tammuz is filled with choices, and we must determine not to go back to an old place.  Although the enemy is oppressing and trying to stop us from rebuilding and coming into our future, the Lord says, “I AM fighting for you! Resist oppression, resist depression, resist accusation, and tell the enemy I AM is standing between you and what is trying to stop you.” Our Firstfruits Gathering was an opportunity to be FULL of the Lord and SEE His goodness on the journey that has brought us this far. Do not allow an invalid emotion within you to overtake all the Lord has done for you.  As you enter into this Rosh Chodesh Celebration, review the “filmstrip” of your life, allow faith to arise and escape the snare of the golden calf!

“The In-Between Place” … a prophetic word through Penny Jackson

During the amazing worship in our Firstfruits Celebration, I shared a prophecy I received from Penny Jackson.  In this in-between place of finding our way from the old into the new, this word will help you “fly and float” with renewed trust and expectation. 

“You are hanging between two trapezes. You have not lost your way; you’re just between two places. You won’t always be.

“I have the perfect place for you and I always have. I have known for all eternity where you will be next, and I knew that you would have this hard time getting there. I am strengthening you in this in-between time even though you don’t feel it or sense it. In a while, you will soon have a direction.

“You really can trust Me with this. Wherever I position you,  even if the place is where you presently are, will be for the new. Let go of all fears or concerns or speculations about where your new will be.  This will be right for you.  You will be at peace.

“The best thing you can do right now is to stay in contact with Me and in My Word. My call for you is that you will go here for a little while and there for a little while. With that call, there will be between times while I am transitioning you or getting you ready for the next thing. This will be your life. So learn to relax between times. Don’t  compare yourself to others. Rest in stillness. As each new thing reveals itself, you will know and you will know your role. You will revisit some places in your past and you will continue to be a part of some things, but don’t be surprised when there are endings to your connection with groups.”

Blessings, Chuck D. Pierce

A Dialogue of Caution and Encouragement from Penny Jackson

We are in a week of revelation.  As I shared in this video, revelation uncovers and help us move forward.  What follows is a great example from Penny Jackson for all of us on recording what the Lord is saying to you.  Penny’s dialogue with the Lord includes timing, caution, encouragement and how He is protecting us in all of the changes we are going through.  I encourage you to enter in as you read this word, and set aside time to record what the Lord is speaking to you as well. 

I have the perfect timing for the confusion and uproar in the nation and in the nations to break. It hasn’t gotten away from Me, and I am not thrown by any of it. I know that you know that, and yet the steady diet of lies makes you stumble a little bit at times. Is it any wonder that so many are deceived?  It is important for Me to put things in place because there are many righteous ones who have fallen for the deception and believed the lie. 

Can you even imagine how they will feel when the truth comes out?  The shock? The hurt? The guilt?  They won’t know what to do or where to turn. You must pray for them. It will hit them like a bolt of lightning. They will question Me and why I let this happen, not realizing that there were signs along the way, not realizing that people could speak such lies. They will be horrified by the depth of evil. The enemy will try to hide it, but there will be a revelation and they will be face-to-face with truth.  Many will be devasted, many will feel tricked, and as so often happens, they will blame Me for their decisions and choices.  There will be great anger: “Why did I let that happen to them?”

A Greater Grace and Measure of Forgiveness

I will need those who have understanding of Me and my actions to walk with great love and compassion during that season.  The enemy will try to increase the questioning of Me and will try to put great doubt in many where I am concerned. I will need those who truly know Me and My ways to guide them through this. I need those with the understanding and big picture to be there waiting. 

You will need to walk with extraordinary compassion because they will lash out in anger borne of shame and embarrassment and pride. For many, they won’t feel bad and will continue to track with the enemy even after he shows his true colors in all of this, but many will be rocked to their core by their deception and their foundations will shake. They will really begin to doubt themselves. Some will hold onto the deception because it’s easier than dealing with these doubts. You will be one of these that knows Me and will share My forgiveness and will let many know who I am and how I love them.

There must not be any shred of “I told you so” or pride that you did not fall for the lies. There can be none of that because it is by My grace that you were exposed to truth during this time. And no one has walked it out perfectly. My children will be heartbroken and feel like they have let Me down. There will be such sorrow. You will help with their restoration. You will remind them of My great love. It’s a time for the Body to unify in this, to unify in this healing process.  It is a time for the Body to understand fully My love and acceptance, My grace and mercy. I am preparing My Body for this time. I have called forth greater intimacy with Me through the prophets and their words.  I am calling you to know Me so well that you can represent Me accurately in this time. Be My heart on earth. 

A Walk of Caution

The timing in what will happen next is elusive, but close … so close. There will be such an uproar, such upheaval, when it occurs. People will feel angry but will not know where to put their anger. People will lash out but won’t know who to lash out at. Rage will ensue as they learn of cures that could have saved their loved ones. The hardest will be for them to accept the fate of the children … all those children for years.  It is even hard for you to go there, and you are already aware of it. People will be horrified. So much emotion will come up, and so many people are wounded and don’t know how to handle their emotions in a healthy way. Walk this out very carefully, not going anywhere unless you feel Me strongly pull that direction. Walk with great  caution. Don’t make a move, any move, until I tell you to.  To do so would be very dangerous because people will be out of control for a season. Then the sorrow will hit … such a sorrow that you can’t imagine.

You remember how you felt when you first learned about it. It was hard for you to sleep at night. And you were on the right side when you heard it. Think of those who have supported those corrupted ones, who have battled for them, who have built their lives on thinking they were doing the right thing. 

Prepare with Prayer 

The saddest to watch will be those who can’t go there — who can’t face the enormity of it all. They will choose to remain deceived.  It takes courage to face something like this … a great deal of courage.  Pray that your family will not be among those who will continue to be deceived. Pray that they will have the courage to face this and walk through it. Pray that they will hear truth, receive truth, and that they will allow their pride to go so that they can admit truth and walk through the aftermath. Pray for a heart of repentance for them.  You can’t even imagine the horror of this. But it is a pulling off of the scab so that the wound can heal, so that the infection can be removed. It will come off quickly, and it will be ugly. 

I have the way to do this in place. I have the timing for this. I am working with My people to get them ready. The churches will be in amazement; to find the wickedness within My churches will be so hard for people.  Pray that they will turn toward Me instead of away from Me.  Declare that the enemy will not get his foot in the door with those.  He longs to draw them his way. Declare that will not happen and cry out on behalf of those. 

Don’t expect people to come to you in repentance … your family, your friends. They will be dealing with the aftermath of all of this. You don’t need that anyway.  In time it may come. It may never come. 

A People Made Ready

The timing on this is close. Make yourself ready.  Stay as close to Me as you ever have because it will be so necessary. I have gotten My people used to upheaval as I have prepared for this; I have walked people through challenging times they have never experienced before. Finally, most have gotten the understanding that things will never be what they were.  

Put aside every distraction. Put away anything that would keep you from hearing from Me, from hearing My voice. My plan is a strategic one, and there are strategies you must know to walk it out rightly. 

I am your protection in this.  I will keep you safe as the rage comes forth. I will keep you in a safe place, in My shelter until that storm passes. When the sorrow comes, that is when you will make your move … not during the rage, but during the sorrow. Then you will reach out with My heart and My compassion. Then revival will begin.

A New Stand in the Midst of Complacency

There is coming a time when My Body will have to take a stand in a way they haven’t in the past. There is coming a time, but it is not to be a time of fear. Haven’t I always shown Myself at what appears to be the midnight hour?  Haven’t I always shown Myself?  I will again. But these things will need to happen for people to see My miracles and My signs and wonders. Who I am will be seen through the brightness of these wonders in the middle of much darkness. There will be great revival but at a cost — at the cost of great darkness.  Many will need the darkness to turn them toward the Light.  Many will stay complacent until things are so dark that they can no longer stay in complacency. Many have been the frogs in the pot. It will get so hot that even they can’t stand it anymore. You are seeing the beginning of that in these days, but it will increase in days ahead. Know that I can direct you clearly in times like this. Know that this must happen for people to turn to Me. It’s not my heart that this must happen. Some will be lost in this, but that is just on this side of heaven. They will not be lost to Me at all. 

There will be a time when it seems that you (the Body) are losing.  Turn your eyes on Me and stay fully focused on Me then. I am not a man that I should lie, and I will be victorious. Darkness will try to draw you down, and will try to draw My people away.  Hide yourselves for a little while. Run under My wing. It is the only safe place. You are victorious in Me.  You will be victorious in Me. 

An Awakening Awaits

Not many are seeing the battle that will precede the great third awakening. Yes, the enemy is losing and there will be no doubt that I am victorious in this.  But many are not seeing what will need to happen first — that it will have to get so dark that people will turn toward Me in their despair. As one who has that understanding, as one that knows My light will shine brightest in great darkness, I will need you to be so close to Me. You will take chances that are scary, but you will know that they are from Me.  This is not a time when you will struggle to hear My Voice. You will recognize My voice clearly and immediately.  Others will hear My voice through you.  That responsibility won’t be scary because you will be so sure of Me in it. You will be so clear that it’s Me. But stay so close to Me that nothing can wedge its way between us. Don’t judge others for where they are and what they are doing. I am an individual God who has unique things for each of My children. Just put your focus in Me and what I require of you. I will unify My Body, but it will be made of many unique parts.  As you look up together toward Me, I will draw you closer together.

The Awakening will be glorious. It will be exciting and thrilling when it gets here. However, it’s going to mean giving everything to Me, sacrificing to a different level – time-wise and involvement-wise. My hand is now and will be always on you wherever I call you to go. You will not doubt Me or My presence for a moment. All that you have and all that you are you must lay before Me.  I have prepared you for such a time as this.

Ready for Battle

It will truly be the best of times and the worst of times, but it will lead to the holiest of times. Things that have kept My people in place will fall away, and My truth will be left standing. The world won’t give up without a fight, but I have made My people ready … ready for battle.

Blessings, Chuck D. Pierce

Dear Advancing Ones:

The message of the Bible is an account of two contrasting kingdoms: the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world.  Many perceive “kingdom” to be a geographical territory. However, kingdom means “rule”, and the Kingdom of God is the rule and will of God manifested on earth.  When you begin with the way God set up His Kingdom, the world will not be able to conform you to its lower expression of kingdom.  That is why it’s so vital we understand KINGDOM FIRST!  Yesterday’s Celebration Service was an incredible opportunity to respond to the call to be ambassadors of God’s Kingdom in the earth realm.  If you were not able to enter into the worship and revelation, I encourage you to watch the replay and declare the Kingdom of God will manifest in you. 

The Rights Moves Will Win the War!

We are in a KINGS war!  As I said yesterday while sharing about a checkers match I played with my grandson, Elijah, if you make your moves right then you will win the war.  This Prophecy Center video will encourage you to become a game-changer. Be about your Father’s business … the Kingdom of God is within you!

Blessings,

Dear Advancing Ones:

We are being divinely positioned with a new identity this Pentecost!  Each session today has been incredible, and we still look forward to Isaac Pitre ministering at 7 PM CDT.  We will conclude in the morning with a special Shavuot Celebration you won’t want to miss!  Robert Heidler will be joining me in culminating this harvest feast and teaching on “The Feast of the Holy Spirit!”  We will begin at 8 AM with water baptisms, and our Celebration Service at 9 AM.  Whether you join us online or here at the Global Spheres Center, prepare to welcome Holy Spirit fire! 

Threshed: The Story of Ruth!
Last night’s musical production was just amazing.  Here are just a few pictures that will bring you to the threshing floor and to God’s promises for you today!

Particularly for those of you in other time zones around the world, all of our sessions are being uploaded and made available for replay for 24 hours.  Later next week, we will provide yet another opportunity to watch our replays.  Find your times to enter into this harvest celebration weekend!

4^th Watch Garden Now Complete!

Just in time for Pentecost, our renovation of the 4th Watch Garden by the Prayer Tower entrance is now complete!  After the “Deep Freeze” in February, we needed to remove the old, to prepare for a new expression.  With a focus on Micah 4:4-5, we declare this will be a place to sit and know the LORD. 

Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce

Dear Advancing Ones:

We each have a portion that we have been allotted by God. Our destiny has boundaries meant for multiplication, increase and fullness.  Satan’s temptations are meant to keep us from multiplying and increasing in the portion that each of us has been allotted.  Three demonic strongholds that we deal with most of the time in our lives are poverty, infirmity and religion. Since any one of these can stop us from walking in victory, you can imagine the impact when all three of these demonic strongholds align with each other.

Removing Old Roots to Prepare for Future Fruitfulness!

This has been a time of uprooting and replanting!  Earlier this week, Pam and the Garden Team removed all of the freeze damaged and dead plants from the Prayer Tower Garden (also known  as the 4^th Watch Garden).  In doing so, they were left with a mass of old roots. Before the replanting process could begin, they had to clear the ground of the old to make way for the new.

• 

• 

This is an example for all of us.  Just as we must be diligent to clear and prepare new places of fruitfulness in our gardens, we must do the same in our hearts before we can advance into the new.  Only then can we be prosperous plantings of the Lord!

Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce

Dear Advancing Ones:

When we moved to the Global Spheres Center in 2011, the Lord told us to begin with a garden FIRST.  He said that the more we progressed in the Garden, the more we would display His kingdom in the Tabernacle.  God has an order, and unless we understand the power of firsts, we will not establish His foundation.  The Gardens here are expressing the times in which we are living.  We are in 5781/2021, and all years linked with 1 (one) are about reviewing roots.

As I shared in our “Watch Your Garden” Shabbat, we needed to make great shifts after the “Deep Freeze” that occurred in February.  Our fig trees did not survive, and other vegetation also had to be removed.  As a result of that record-breaking week, some things just died – they are gone and uprooted.  Other things died to their last form, but the root remained alive.  They are now coming back into a new expression of growth.  Still other things went into a state of deep dormancy, but are now bursting forth with a greater show of blooms and growth than we have ever seen.  The freeze and the root structures represent what God is doing in our lives. There are certain things that must end.  Certain things will express themselves in a new way.  And certain things that have been dormant will blossom more greatly than ever. 

Just yesterday, Pam and our Garden team planted our new fig trees and two olive trees.  As you watch this new beginnings video, ask for eyes to see what the Lord is “planting” in your garden.  Although your tendency may be to hold onto what prospered in the last season, I declare you will submit to the process that prepares you for incredible fruitfulness in this new season.

A Global Gardeners Graduation!

Earlier today, our “Global Gardeners” completed their Level 1 Program.  This new venture between Jr. Master Gardeners, Beulah Acres and Illuminate allowed 10 students to receive their achievement badges and be promoted to Level 2 for next year.  A special thanks to Daniel Arenas and Allison Lohse for all their hard work in mentoring and inspiring a new generation in the gardens!

Blessings,

Dear Advancing Ones:

This is a month when I AM God Your Healer manifests (Ex. 15:26)! Yesterday, as we began to sing There Was Jesus, the atmosphere changed and a window of miraculous healing opened for all of us. If we are to press to Pentecost and beyond, we must welcome Holy Spirit’s “rattling” and move in a new way! Enter into the worship and ministry from this Celebration Service, and open to The Healer breaking forth in you!

My Spittle Unmasks the Mask!

This month (Iyar) is a time of divine healing, and we saw The Healer manifest during yesterday’s service. This Prophecy Center video will help you invite Jesus to manifest in your life. Do not resist how He chooses to visit with His miraculous power.

From Hood to Good!

Yesterday, we sent out Gerald and Junita Middleton into their evangelistic production of “From Hood to Good!” This stage play is a story of transformation, redemption and the God who made it possible. For those who are local and would like to attend this free outreach, the performance is this Saturday (May 1) at 6 PM at Lifeline Church (2800 Pennsylvania Dr, Denton TX).

Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce

Dear Advancing Ones:

We are all going through transition! However, you don’t get into the new without completing the removal of the old.  We’ve been experiencing this shift at the Global Spheres Center both inside (with our office flooring) as well as outside (with vegetation that didn’t survive February’s “deep freeze”).  Our tendency is to hold onto what prospered in the last season, but sometimes the Lord chooses to uproot our past so we can be ready for a new movement. 

A “First” Garden Planting!

God has an order, and it will not manifest until we are properly aligned.  Unless we understand the power of firsts, we will not establish the foundation of what must initiate, as well as be foremost in, position and importance. When we first moved to the Global Spheres Center, the Lord told us to begin in the Garden.  Earlier this week, Pam planted all the native seeds we had been given by the First Nations.  We will be watching our garden to see how this “first” planting blossoms in the months ahead.

What Will Move Into Your New Season?

This short update from Chris Davidson on the Israel Prayer Garden will prepare you for Shabbat!  Watch for how the old is cleared out to make way for the new … even if you are uncertain what that may be!

After the deep freeze we experienced here at the GSC, we had to truly assess the land and each area of the garden with new perspective. As we saw what needed to happen in order to fully bring each area into its NOW EXPRESSION, we had to follow the direction of the Spirit and do what our flesh may not have wanted to do! We cut down and removed the fig trees as well as many other things to make way for the new vision the Lord wanted expressed in the different areas of the garden. Many growers lost their stocks due to our deep freeze.  However, God is good and always keeps a remnant! We found a grower in Florida who has fig trees and they are on their way!  Not every fig tree will be replaced, as we are making shifts to move with the Spirit and express the new in a new season. Keep posted for what is to come!!!!

– Chris
