Dear Advancing Ones:

At every new season in your life, the Lord comes to bring a prototype for your future. In His earthly ministry, Yeshua worked for over three years to develop the paradigm for His disciples to understand the new. As I shared yesterday morning, Peter is a great example for all of us. He got the new prototype in Matthew 16, but then lost it almost immediately afterwards. Similarly, we can embrace the new, but we must keep it to advance into our future! This is what caused me to read the Gospels and review what Yeshua taught His disciples about the Church. Without a connection to the last season, we cannot get into the new. We must study the “first” principles that allowed a new Church to arise. As you watch yesterday’s worship, prophetic release and revelation, take time to ponder all the key firsts that Yeshua demonstrated. As we move from Passover to Pentecost, I declare you will receive a new wind of Holy Spirit and demonstrate the new through you!

Ascend, Unseal, and Catch My Explosive Love to Move You Forward!

This Prophecy Center video from yesterday’s worship will explode your faith and help you ascend to a new place of vision and understanding. I declare this is your time to go through into your new!

Blessings,

Dear Advancing Ones:

We are excited to be crossing over with a new foundation for our future!  As this short video shows, the flooring in our administrative wing is now complete and our offices are connecting in a new way.  You have been an important part of this transition, and we are declaring that you are breaking into a new order and alignment as we press from Passover to Pentecost and beyond.

Iyar Firstfuits Covenant Dance!

As we learned on Sunday, there is revelation that the Lord only reveals to those who are in covenant with Him.  During the month of Iyar, He revealed covenant secrets to Israel, and Kingdom secrets to His disciples.  God’s “first” principle is built around covenant.  This special dance video by Illuminate provides a window into understanding covenant.  As you watch, I declare the covenant sound, movement and destiny within you is being unlocked!

Dear Advancing Ones:

Iyar is my favorite month, since the Issachar anointing is so important to our future! Yesterday’s Firstfruits Celebration was a divine reset for every blessing the Lord wants to bring us as we cross over into the new. The Spirit of God declared, “If you will pour out, and seek Me first and worship Me first, I will reset the biorhythmic clock within you, starting today.” Do not miss this kairos opportunity to begin Iyar by pouring out your best to Him and aligning with His cycle of blessing. You are being sent forth into secrets, revelation, healing, perfect timing, a new place, and a new Issachar anointing!

Our Rosh Chodesh Celebration for Iyar was an incredible time of connecting, in God’s calendar, to cross over into the new. God has an order for your prosperity, built around His covenantal principle of “first”. Our worship and Firstfuits giving created a portal to acknowledge His faithfulness and thank Him for all of His provision. This helped unlock Kingdom revelation to cross us from Passover to Pentecost. As Robert Heidler shared, this month is a special time for understanding hidden principles of how to live in God’s favor and experience His promises. Be equipped to leave the old and press towards a new season of outpouring. During this month, I would encourage you to read Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20-21, and Acts 1-2. These passages will activate you to what is happening in the spirit world during Iyar, and help form in you a declaration that you are crossing over from Passover to Pentecost with an Issachar anointing!

Beulah Update: Connecting with the Community!

On Saturday morning, we were able to partner with Keep Corinth Beautiful in hosting a Rainwater Harvest Class at Beulah Acres Center. Daniel Arenas and Chris Davidson taught 14 students from our local body, as well as master gardeners and others from the community, on understanding watershed, rainwater and the residential benefits of using it properly. They also included a rain barrel demonstration in this first-time class.

Later that same day, they provided a tree planting demonstration at the Keep Corinth Beautiful Arbor Day in Corinth. Around 45 people, including many children, participated in that hands-on training. We are grateful to initiate new beginnings in the region – both in the land and the generations!

Dear Advancing Ones:

The Kingdom of God is based on a particular kind of power—the power of the resurrection! Through His resurrection, Yeshua established the power of the Kingdom, and it’s impossible to separate the Kingdom of God from the miracle-working power of God. Resurrection Sunday is an incredible time to celebrate Holy Spirit raising Jesus to life. This quickening ministry of Holy Spirit also enables you to receive the power of resurrection. As Robert Heidler shared, God quickens His Word, your spirit, your body, and His Church. If you were not able to join us, be sure to enter into yesterday’s worship, revelation and ministry time, and be quickened by the Holy Spirit with resurrection power!

A Week of Releasing Verdicts!

During our Resurrection Sunday Celebration, I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, “This will be a week that many verdicts are given. I Am the beginning and I Am the end, and I Am the God that produces justice. Know that I will be releasing verdicts. Look at the beginning after the verdict, for it is that beginning that I will bring nations into and people into. Know that this will be a week of change, and I will release the verdicts that are necessary to produce the outcomes that I Am ready to bring to the earth.” Choose to not only watch for the release of verdicts, but to embrace the new beginnings that He initiates.

Blessings,

Dear Advancing Ones:

The sounds from Judah going first in yesterday’s Celebration Service were a wake up to prepare for war. We must allow the roar of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah to rise up within us. The voice of the Lord is setting our course, and these prophetic words from yesterday will help you gird up for this Passover week:

“Many waters are being troubled. In the midst of the troubling waters, I have a people who will learn how to stand. In the midst of the troubling waters, I have a people who will learn to walk through the waves. In the midst of the troubling waters, I have a people who will begin to rise and not sink. Many troubling waters are around you, but in the midst of it, you will be one who surfs to a new shore.

“Some of you are grabbing hold of the plow, but you’re looking back. When you put your hand to the plow, keep your eyes focused on the field ahead. Many new fields are forming, and if you keep looking back at the field you were in then you will never see the harvest of the field ahead. I Am calling My people to grab hold and move forward into their new field. Do not keep looking back at that field that once produced, but jump into the field that is ahead and watch this field be cultivated. Many of you have fear that you will not have the strength to plow that new field. The fear is making you confused over how I can infuse you. Let go of the fear of the new! In that new field you will find the treasures that you’re looking for.

“‘Comfortable’ is the enemy to the strength that you need … so be careful! I Am producing new strength as you expand into the future. I am digging deep in you because you have no idea of the field I’ve been working on in you. And yet, you are limiting Me with (your) vision. You are limiting Me with (your) ideas. You are limiting Me based upon your own knowledge. I’m digging deep because you’re going to dig deeper. Many think My presence is sweet and angelic, but My presence can blast through mountains. My presence can uncover minefields. This is the day of knowing My presence so your gift that you are nurturing can explode into what I intend it to be.

“Many of you have chosen to like ‘vanilla’, and many of you have chosen to love ‘chocolate’. But I Am sending a fire to melt them together, and then I’m adding My own flavors that you know not of. I Am a creative God, filled with flavor and creativity. Your choice will be to taste and see the new taste that I am producing.

“I Am sending you into some rough territory and rough terrain for I have lost sheep that I Am hunting. You’ve grown comfortable in trying to harness and shepherd the boundaries that I have, but I Am hunting for lost sheep. So develop a new cry within you because you have no idea of the wolves that are on the path. The cry that I put in you will disperse the wolves that have surrounded those that I Am intending to bring in. Get ready! You are headed into new terrain!

“Some of you are being pressed greatly, but don’t get weary in the pressing. Stop along your pressing journey and taste the wine that’s being pressed out of you. You have no idea of the sweetness that’s coming out of you. Honey will eventually come out of you. Stop along the journey and taste and see that I Am good. I want you to press through until I expand you into a place you’ve never been before.

“My people always hear My voice, and they are always in alignment with Me. But the enemy whispers in your ear and tells you to pick up your old chains and wear them like jewelry. You walk in My authority! Walk with Me now and pull off those chains. I will put them in the fire and they’ll never be picked up again.

“Be watchful the next 10 days because I Am coming to wobble your ox cart. When I wobble it, are you going to try to touch it with familiarity to upright something that I Am pouring out? These next 10 days I will shake your ox cart, I will shake it, and I will shake it again. Then when you come into a realization that your order is not going into the fullness of the order that I have in store for you, pull aside and let Me reveal to you the new order. When I reveal the new order to you in your spirit and you rise up outside of your might, it will usher in My presence not only in your life but in your neighborhood, church and office. When I usher in the new order and judgment rises up for many who would not let go of their order, let them stand in the judgment of barrenness. But you go on in with Me because I Am calling the city to rejoice. When I call the new order, the city will rejoice in a way that it has not rejoiced in the last two years. Watch the next 10 days, watch the next 90 days, and then you will see a breaking that your heart has truly longed for.

“This week, I’m going to take you by eminent domain. Because I live within you, you will take your sphere of influence by eminent domain. Greater am I in you than you are in you. Therefore, I Am calling you to yield yourself this week. Yield yourself and take all that I point out in front of you.” (Chuck D. Pierce, LeAnn Squier, Mark Waldrep, Keith Pierce, Suzanne Harrington)

An Escalation of Revelation and a Time to Declare, “Spring is Here!”

Dear Advancing Ones:

Welcome to Nisan … the month that sets the course for how you will rule in the year ahead! This “king” of months is when the Lord began to reveal Himself to Israel in a new way, and is a key time to leave behind the past and step into our future. Yesterday’s Firstfruits Celebration was so important because in Nisan we are fully passing over, through, and into the next year of this new era. This is the beginning, and the Spirit of God is saying:

“You have now begun and have entered the new journey I’ve destined you for. Even though you went through many trials and many stops in your life, you have entered, and you are advancing. Watch the stops signs and watch the road signs, for I Am going to start directing you in new ways – sending you to new places, sending you to new people! This is the beginning of your road above your enemies. Get ready! You will advance beyond your enemies and into a place where you will see manifestations you have not seen!”

This is an incredible word to print out and meditate on daily as we prepare for Passover 5781.

A Month to Declare, “SPRING HAS COME!”

Our entire Nisan Firstfruits Celebration was just amazing. The freedom to worship, the joy of giving, the flow of prophetic revelation, and the aligning of our time with God’s calendar created a faith-filled atmosphere for new beginnings to break forth! As Robert Heidler taught, Nisan is the first month of the yearly feast cycle, and may be the most important month of the year. The root word of Nisan (nissim) is MIRACLES. This is also the month when new life springs forth out of a cold, dead season. As we enter this first harvest season of the year, I decree there is a spirit of revelation falling on you to produce an escalation of revelation. You will go up and accelerate more quickly than you ever have in your life! Watch the replay and shout, “Spring is here!”

Spring in the Tribe of Benjamin!

Earlier this month, our Garden team focused on the tribe of Benjamin. Though we love to see the return of garden life, there comes a time when change is needed. By removing the large amount of blue sage in that area, we have now prepared it for new vegetation to express a new message. All the removed plants were distributed to both the Agroforest and terrace gardens so they can still be enjoyed in a new location. New colors are now bursting forth in Benjamin. In this month of new beginnings, I am declaring new manifestations are springing forth in your life!

Dear Encouraging Ones:

I am so grateful for this prophetic portal! Several days ago, the Spirit of God spoke to me that “I want My people to encourage themselves.” However, what broke forth in yesterday’s Celebration Service was far beyond encouraging. From the first notes of worship, we were carried to a higher place of seeing, hearing and releasing Heaven’s voice for today. This incredible prophetic word is just a portion of what was released to open up our recovery:

“This will be a time that I put shunts within you. For you have blocked off things that you are not aware have been blocked off.  Watch as I penetrate and open up some blood flow within your body. This is a time of shunting what has been closing up on you, and because of that you will feel a rush you’ve not felt before!

“As you stand in My presence and enter into My worship, there is a portal that is opening.  The portal that is opening is releasing a new flow from heaven. As the deer pants for the water, let your soul long for Me. Do not be downtrodden, for deep calls unto deep. Listen to the voice on the sounds of worship and the waves ofworship, for My voice is coming with a new portal that a new flow can occur. Not only will it bring you up, but it will bring you out and into an enlarged place.

“Portions of your soul have closed off the rush of the Spirit that I want to bring you. Let Me open them up! Let Me do the necessary surgery that needs to be done so the rush of My Spirit can go through you!

“There is a clarion call that will be so loud the next five days. You will hear a tone, you will hear a pitch, you will hear perfect tune – it is a clarion call. I Am saying, ‘Come up higher! Open up your ears to hear! Be able to see what I will show you in the next five days because it will be so clear you won’t be able to miss this!’

“Through this portal there is a rope coming down with knots on it. So many are hanging on at one place, but you’ve got to go up a rung. It’s not by power or by might, but by My Spirit. Reach up and grab above the next rung. When you grab, I will infuse you! When you grab, I will infuse you!’  

“Breathe in My Spirit in a way you’ve not breathed Me in before, and this will give you a new strength to lift up one more time. As you grab the knot above you, you will use the knot below you to stand on. What was yesterday’s weakness has now grown weary, but tomorrow is today’s strength. So breathe in, breathe in and breathe in again, and then lift one more time.  You will come up and hold on, and your feet will be planted on yesterday that you may receive the fullness of My presence.  Step into the vision of your tomorrow.” (Shatece McLeod, Chuck Pierce, Keith Pierce, Stella Timmons)

Dear Advancing Ones:

This is a season of new order! The Lord is reordering our steps and preparing us to find our new place of celebration! Watch, listen and prepare for a 5-week process of reordering! Hear this prophetic compilation and be freed to take the faith steps that will move you beyond fear and into your call for the future.

Yesterday’s Celebration Service broke us into a new place of expectation. The worship, prophetic revelation and teaching positioned us to cry out for our inheritance. Robert Heidler’s study of “mad dog Caleb” showed how giants in the land can become your prey. The giants you face are not insurmountable difficulties but opportunities for God to show Himself strong on your behalf. Be sure to watch the replay and declare that the giants will become your bread!

Dear Advancing Ones:

The Lord has been speaking to me this week about our emotions in this new era.  Although our emotions may be stirred and our minds full of anxious questions or disquieting scenarios, we canremain calm in the knowledge that God knows exactly how to shift things around us.  During tomorrow’s Celebration Service, I look forward to sharing keys to go beyond our emotions, as well as how not to react.  There are many Biblical examples we can learn from that reacted rather than waited on the Lord.  Join us at 9 AM CST when I minister on “A Time to Shift … Go Beyond Your Emotions!”

Open Your Eyes in the Garden!

Many times what we presently see limits our vision for what will be.  This video from the Israel Prayer Garden is a great example.  If we only receive a winter landscape, we forget the hidden changes that are occurring, and what awaits us.  I am declaring your roots are being nurtured and your eyes are being awakened to see how you will thrive in days ahead!

A Heart of Gratitude!

Many times we are not fully aware of the challenges that others contend with daily.  They may feel overwhelmed and totally spent, and yet the Lord knows exactly how to express His faithfulness.  Last week, two of our staff reached out to assist Gail with rebuilding her mailbox. Her note of thanks will go beyond in developing your heart of gratitude for the Lord’s goodness.

“I am overwhelmed by the goodness of the LORD. Jesus and Freddy not only rebuilt our mailbox, but were such a help in time of need!  The first day, they helped me transfer my husbandfrom wheelchair to bed. The next day, I came outside, nearly in tears, and said ‘I have a problem.’  Jesus said, ‘You don’t have a problem, you have a family.’ I was touched to my core. The two men came in when my husband was asleep in his wheelchair. The hospital bed with new rails that someone put on had malfunctioned, and I had no bed to put my husband in. I felt helpless, but there was my family taking the malfunctioned rails off and putting back on the original ones making a place for my husband.  I have told him many times:  I’m so thankful we are at GZI.  We miss our family terribly, but we know God has called us to pioneer and that He said He would use us in the days of revival. These will be our greatest days.

“The Lord spoke to me when we left California, ‘As you go out, I will bring them (our children/grandchildren) in’. And He is doing that now. Thank you for showing the goodness of God to so many.  We are so blessed by the example you all are at GZI.  Our kids are seeing it. We are excited to be part of the great awakening revival at GZI. THIS IS WHAT WE WERE MADE FOR. Shoulder to shoulder we stand!!  And He is putting us on His shoulders!!!  Then when I thought it couldn’t get any better…I went to my new mailbox and there was an unexpectedblessing check!  I am undone at His goodness!!!”

Dear Shifting Ones:

When God spoke to me on October 11, 2018 about two years and four months of us wading through a swamp, I had no idea what we would go through. He did say in that prophetic word that it would be like civil war, which we have experienced to some degree. I had no idea that it would so coincide with the current election in America. Did that word mean that President Trump would be re-elected? No! The word meant that America would go into one of its deepest, nastiest times. However, yesterday I heard the Lord say: “I am shifting things around you!” Here is the full prophetic word:

“I Am changing shifts for you. You’ve been working in certain timeframes and you’ve been working in certain shift-structures. But this day, I Am changing your shift. Some of you who have been on the second shift will be on the first shift. Some of you who have been on the first shift will take midnights. I Am doing a repositioning work to get My people in right timing, and though the world has demanded a time, My timing will trump (triumph over) the world’s time.”

In Redeeming the Time, I shared about “The New Shift Produces a Rift!” I believe this excerpt will help you gain insight on this shifting season:

There comes a time when you leave a transition and shift into the new. No longer can you keep prophesying that the new will happen. There comes a time when the new happens. At that moment, our whole being must make a shift. We may have some difficulties shifting into a new season, so I feel we should define the word shift.

A shift is “a change of place, position, or direction.” A shift also includes an exchange or replacement of one thing for another. A shift is a change of gear so you can accelerate. A shift can also be an underhanded or deceitful scheme. Therefore, in our shift we must recognize that the enemy is plotting to stop it. A shift also entails a scheduled time.

Shaking occurs during a shift. Think of a fault line. A rift is the place of dividing. God has a time where division is necessary for His covenant to come forth in a new way. Jesus said it this way: “I came not to send peace, but a sword” (Matt. 10:34, kjv). Let’s just be sure that we in God’s kingdom do not use the sword on each other!

Change produces a shift but can also produce rifts in every area mentioned above, especially in relationships.

Waters of Change Produce a Shifting, Rift-cutting River

There comes a time when waters of change must rise. This produces a river. Rivers are powerful. Rivers flow! Sometimes they are torrential, sometimes smooth. In this season they will be more torrential than usual. I heard these words deep in my spirit: “Watch this winter!” Winter torrents sometimes come down with great suddenness and with desolating force. What the Lord seemed to be saying was: “Get ready for accelerated changes that will begin.” … Be prepared; this nation as we know it will no longer be the same. The Lord also said, “I have brought you into a season of the new wineskin. Tell My people to be prepared for structures to change. This nation [America] is a wineskin, and it will change.”

As I continued to stand on the rim [of the Grand Canyon] and view the magnificent display of God’s power and creation, I saw something. What I saw quickened in me and reminded me of what I saw in August 2007. It was then that the Lord began to show me a nation divided. He has continued to deal with me from an intercessory standpoint to get prepared for a great schism that is coming to this nation.

What we see in the natural will become spiritual. The Grand Canyon was probably formed when the Colorado River began to flow, and wow—the earth changed. The river cut through the earth, finding faults and opening up a schism that looks like nothing anyone has seen or may ever see again.

I heard the Lord say, “That is the type of river that is coming. This river will become torrential and devastating to some and refreshing and moving to others, bringing you to a new place of harvest. Whichever way you process, the changes will determine how you are prepared for the future. You can choose to be on either side of the rift, or you can get in the river and travel to your next destination in the midst of the changing course of a land at this time!”

The key issue to remember in this season is that the river will create rifts. The river of God is stirring the fish but also cutting a new path for them to come into their place of habitation for the future. That means that the church must change its structure and prepare for the river to run its course and bring a new supply of fish into our nets. Get your net mended and ready since times and seasons have changed. The Lord will fill our nets if we will creatively stand in the rising river and not fear.

We are at a key place of choice. Allow the Lord to shift your schedule so you are positioned to prosper in time and space.

Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce
