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

Dear Advancing Ones:

After I got up and spent time with the Lord this morning, I received an alert from CNN on my phone. I have CNN as one of my alerts because I like to know how the media is viewing things. Years ago I wrote an article and said “Media are present day watchmen.” A nation is held accountable for how media speaks and warns.

CNN issued this statement: “Trump’s refusal to concede the election, delusional tweets about states tipping his way, and failure to so far grant President Elect Joe Biden access to federal funding and resources to power up his administration means America is in for a rocky 71 days.”

My thought was this: God said that 2 years and a month ago on October 11, 2018. True prophets say what God says. Some of you would like for me to say “THIS” or “THAT” – but I can only release what I hear the Lord say, and I have written that fact numerous times. True prophets are not political lobbyists – true prophets represent the Kingdom of God. I would love it if the media would become true watchmen rather than just representing the news.

Remember I suggested to all of us on Sunday that we needed to have the Word of God balance us during this time. Without the balance of the Word, you can’t know the TRUTH nor the SPIRIT OF TRUTH that is being spoken around you. This morning in Isaiah 26 the Lord quickened this to me:

“OPEN THE GATES THAT THE RIGHTEOUS NATION WHICH KEEPS THE TRUTH MAY ENTER IN!  YOU WILL KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU BECAUSE HE TRUSTS IN YOU. TRUST IN THE LORD FOREVER! FOR IN JAH, THE LORD, IS EVERLASTING STRENGTH.”

I will pray for Joe Biden as I have prayed for every President if he is indeed elected truthfully and righteously. However, God said we would be in a swamp for two years and four months (October 2018 through January 2021). It is now apparent that the TRUTH of this election, whatever that may be, has not fully been uncovered or determined. Please listen to what the Lord says so you can truly know how to pray for this nation.

We want to know the TRUTH of the foundation that we are standing on. God calls America a righteous nation. For this nation to be righteous we must open the gates for HIS truth to be known. Please do not forget which nation you are FIRST a part of! By you representing His nation, America can be what God intends it to be.

Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce

A Now Word for our Nation!

Dear Advancing Ones:

This election is playing out the way the Lord spoke. Below is the word that I gave in Chattanooga, Tennessee on October 11, 2018. When you listen to this word, the Lord gave us clear instruction saying the next two years and four months would be like walking through a swamp.

Walking through a swamp can be very challenging. You must walk very slowly and use some sort of projectile structure to test the depth in front of you before stepping forward. I know this because I used to work on pipelines during my college years, and one of my jobs was to walk through certain swamps. You have to know that you have a destination through the swamp or you get disoriented. Every decision or step you take has great effect on the environment around you. Swamps create a different type of root system. Therefore, you must understand that the root structure you are dealing with is very different than the originating root structure. The swamp has created its own root structure because roots have to adapt to swamp life. If you drain the swamp, most of these roots would not survive.  

There are ways to drain a swamp. First of all, you have to find out the source of the water that is creating the swamp, and then you have to block that source. As the swamp dries up, you will have to deal with each level of the swamp elements. In other words, as it dries you will see a whole different world emerge. This world has many dangerous creatures, fragile vegetation and an unsure soil structure, for the future. The purpose of draining the swamp is to create a direct way to get to a new destination.

Swamps are not insurmountable. However, they are very dangerous. They also have many resources that have been covered over that need to be used for the future. This is a parallel of how we are having to walk in this nation. God said we would have to walk very cautiously through the third week of January.

Digging and Fertilizing OR Uprooting?!

Of the two words I have from the Lord, the other has to do with digging around and fertilizing the tree. This is the passage the Lord gave me before President Trump began his term: [Luke 13:6-9]  Then He began telling them this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree that had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it, but did not find any; so he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and have found none. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground depleting the soil and blocking the sunlight?’ But he replied to him, ‘Let it alone, sir, just one more year until I dig around it and put in fertilizer.
Please watch this following video. The real issue is if the Lord will allow this nation to be uprooted.

Daniel Pierce Dreams About Philadelphia and Pennsylvania: Warning Dream from Head of the Year 5780/2019

Over a year ago at Head of the Year 5780 (fall 2019), Daniel Pierce came to me with a dream he had about Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. He felt this had to do with the election (that we are now participating in). In the dream, Daniel was wearing a Philadelphia flat cap. He and one of his friends in the dream knew that there was a great danger in Philadelphia because of a criminal element that had infiltrated the city. Daniel had been given a legal warrant in the dream to arrest a violent felon and bring him in. When he awakened, he knew there would be a fight against justice coming forth in Pennsylvania; that state would become the battleground for the justice of this nation.

Today, legal representatives of the current administration just received a court order that a group could go in and witness the vote count. The results in the Keystone State, Pennsylvania, are expected to be the deciding factor for the 2020 election. Pam Bondi slammed the state for not allowing more observation of the voting processing.

Dutch Sheets Does a Prophetic Intercessory Journey this Week

I just got off the phone with Dutch Sheets. On Monday, he went on a prophetic intercessory journey to the headwaters of the Allegheny, which are in Pennsylvania. There he dug a hole and buried a mercy coin, tuning fork, buckeye from Cain Ridge, Appeal to Heaven Flag, and a key from Constitution Hall. We appeal to heaven for this nation to be “retuned with mercy,” for revival to come.

Parking the Second Barge!

I recorded a dream in The Passover Prophecies in the economic section called “China, the President, and a Prophetic Dream.” The dream I had on May 6, 2020 was about docking a second ship, and is very, very key for our future. This was actually the first inkling I had about the outcome of this presidential election. It’s going to appear there is no way for Trump to get back in office again. However, there was a way if you could figure out how to reverse what happened to get the ship docked.

Some people have wondered why we have to pray. We must understand that God is sovereign and has a choice in all matters. However, there is a will of man that can be manipulated by the devil. Therefore, we have to pray that every scheme the enemy is using will be exposed. Satan can use his resources. So if the will of man has not given up resources to the will of God, Satan can use them (John 8:44). This includes lying, cheating and manipulating the truth.

Blessings,

Dear Advancing Ones:

This week is a defining time in the history of our nation. We should not be anxious, but remain walking with the Lord … day by day by day. Below is a video summary of what the Lord said to me regarding this nation and the election.

Additionally, here are the scriptures I am praying and encourage you to meditate on as well.  

“Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let joy overflow, for you are united with the Anointed One! Let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near. Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ. So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always. Follow the example of all that we have imparted to you and the God of peace will be with you in all things.” (Phil. 4:4-9, TPT)

“Let joy be your continual feast. Make your life a prayer. And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus. Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit. And don’t be one who scorns prophecies, but be faithful to examine them by putting them to the test, and afterward hold tightly to what has proven to be right. Avoid every appearance of evil.” (1 Thes. 5:16-22, TPT)

Dear Advancing Ones:

On Sunday morning, the Spirit of the Lord said, “I Am going to deal with the noise around you this week. This will be a week I start addressing noise that has invaded My people’s atmosphere. The noise that rises up creates confusion, but in the midst of it I will cause My people to rise above the fray of the confusion. This week, you will see what you have been longing to see.”

When I released that word, I didn’t have any idea how difficult this week would be.  A severe infection penetrated both my inner and outer left ear.  In addition to sharp pain, I could not hear anything with that ear.  Although I planned to speak at tonight’s Shabbat service on “Becoming New: Are You Perceiving?”, this will not be possible.  I also planned to join Dutch Sheets in Clarksville, Tennessee this weekend, but I’m not released to travel until my ear improves.  A passage I am claiming is from Psalm 27: “Yet I totally trust you to rescue me one more time, so that I can see once again how good you are while I’m still alive! Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting – for he will never disappoint you!” (Ps. 27:13-14, TPT)

Turkish Earthquake: A Sign of Warning

A major earthquake struck Turkey earlier today, causing great damage and loss of life. Please pray for those affected along the Turkish coast and the Greek island of Samos. As I was praying for the city of Izmir (where the greatest damage has been reported), I was led to read Revelation 2:8-11. The city of Izmir was known as Smyrna in biblical times. This earthquake is a sign of warning for our nation, and that there will be great testing in the next 10 days. In the midst of this testing, decree that spirits of poverty that are trying to overtake our nation will break.

Blessings,

Dear Advancing Ones:

We continue to press forward toward the MIRACLE CENTER … the ARK of our future!  God is moving! When the Ark moved, the procession of God’s glory created atmospheric change.  We are crying out for miracles to break forth!  Watch this video and declare a miracle anointing will fall!

Pressing in to Miracles!

I am so grateful for your help as we construct our future.  The Tabernacle has now been upgraded to reflect a new identity for a new era. We have also developed the new expressions of The Wellspring (green room), The Branch (bookstore and fellowship area), and The Orchard (meeting space). The Agra Center is becoming a model for the whole region. This includes the operations of the Israel Prayer Garden. 

Our ultimate goal is to fully utilize the MIRACLE CENTER.  Many of you were able to worship there during Head of the Year and experience the incredible faith atmosphere.  Our goal is to now begin Phase 2 of development to shift this new wineskin from a functional space to a fully developed center.  Here is what remains for us to be completely operational in the Miracle Center:

• Air Conditioning (and Heat); Penny is working diligently for the most efficient way to do this.
• Sound Proof and Absorption Treatment (echo reduction)
• Infrastructure for Audio and Projection
• Mobile Stage

Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce
