Don’t Miss Issachar this Month! |

October 14, 2009
Dear Friends:
We are now home again. Thank you so much for your prayers, encouragement, and giving towards this trip. The Dubai-Paris trip was ground breaking. Gaining strategy for freedom in Middle East is very different than for the Western world. Last year, we probably had the largest Christian gathering in Qatar’s history. Now the nation is not open for public gatherings.
While we were in Paris we reviewed the prophecies released over our last several trips there. On each previous trip, we noted how France was a nation at a crossroad. France has made a transition! Their elections after our last meeting produced great change. Now the Church is beginning to take on a new Kingdom perspective. Our associates, David and Leslye Schneier, Messianic believers, did a wonderful job to encourage these meetings. I will send out a full report of our time in Paris in a separate email.
Daily Devotion!!!
I hope you have been enjoying our latest series of devotions -- 21
Days for Joy, Strength and Faith to Rise Up. These are posted on
our website each
day as well as on our Facebook
Fan Page. These are also translated into Spanish and Portuguese. The
Lord woke me early yesterday morning and began to share with me on the role
of joy for the season ahead. I believe the next few devotionals will really
help you. Please read yesterday’s devotional below:
I have a question for you – really, two questions. In the last 50 days,
have you begun to experience a new joy and a renewed spirit? If not, do you
have an ember of faith that could be kindled so you can have joy again?
Ponder these questions as I review what joy is and why we need this fruit
moving through us as we enter the next season.
Joy means to "leap," or "spin around" with pleasure. If you have not found yourself doing that at least once in these last few weeks, something is not yet quite right with you. This actually means that you are still bound by some sort of wounding and deflation of spirit from your past or some anxiety over your future. God is calling forth a Triumphant Reserve in this new season. Joy is a delight of the mind or heart that arises from within your inner spirit. This fruit is an expression of emotion that you have grasped God’s moment that has entered your atmosphere. That means “God is present in your present”. Joy then develops strength within you to pursue and possess the future good that God has planned for you. From joy comes strength which gives you energy to take the prize and see the manifestation of God’s ultimate best for your life.
Read, Meditate On and Memorize Galatians 5:5-10; 13-17; 22-26. But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us. For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love. You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth? It certainly isn't God, for he is the one who called you to freedom. This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough! I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you…. For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another. So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. .. But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another. (New Living Translation)
Issachar Course on Intercession for the Year Ahead!
Robert Heidler began our next Issachar School course on Intercession for the Year Ahead! This week he taught on “Understanding Intercession!” He began by reviewing what the Lord has revealed about the New Year, 5770, which we have just entered. He also taught on what it means to intercede for breakthrough in order to see God’s promises become a reality in the earth. If we are to position ourselves to increase and advancement, these principles need to become a part of our thinking process.
If you were not able to join this class, you can register for and watch the webcast “on demand” through Monday night. The cost is $15, and you can purchase your e-ticket on the MP3 Store on our website. Next week, I will teach on “How to Stand in the Gaps! Ten KEY Watch Points!” For more information on this program, go to www.gloryofzion.org/issachar. You can also call 1-888-965-1099 and ask for Rose.
Plan to Join Us This Weekend! ANGELS: Working With God’s Government! (Oct 16-18)
This will be one of our most needed weekends. We will learn to “Interact with Heaven’s Government!” Our special guests will be Tim Sheets and Marty Cassady. Tim is an incredible teacher, and has great understanding on the angelic realm. Marty is someone who sees into the spiritual realm and also has great insight on angels. If we are to pray in new ways that allow the Court of Heaven to bring righteousness and justice into the earth realm, then it’s vital we learn to cooperate with the hosts of Heaven and God’s Kingdom Government. There is NO CHARGE or registration required to join this meeting – either in person or by webcast. We begin on Friday night at 7:30 PM. You can go to our website for more details. Our Judah School focus will be on “The Angelic Realm: There is an Army to Help”. 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. We have prepared a “Gift of Remembrance - The Wings of Protection!” This is for all of those attending on-site and via the web.
On Saturday night (October 17) at 7 PM, we will have our Firstfruits Celebration for the Hebraic month of Cheshvan. Biblically, this is a month reserved for the anointing so you can deal with hardships, trials and tribulations. There is also no registration needed to join us on Saturday evening, in person or by webcast.
Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce

This was such a powerful Firstfruits Weekend Gathering. From the revelation from Apostle John Eckhardt on how angels are related to covenant, to Robert Heidler’s incredible teaching on the angelic, to Marty Cassady’s testimony and prayer for the hosts of Heaven to join us, we were almost breathless at the anointing level by Saturday afternoon. Then I also loosed the blessing of the Hebrew month Tammuz.
