TESTIMONY in "13 Going on 30"

Stand UP Straight!


July 10, 2009

Dear Awakening Saints:

Thank you for your ongoing prayers and encouragement.  I could not accomplish all the Lord is asking of me for this season without you.  This week I was on the Crow Reservation in Montana.  Jay Swallow and I were invited by the Chairman of the Crow Nation to come. The meetings were incredible. Keep your eyes on this area in days ahead.  I am presently ministering in Bismarck, North Dakota with Dutch Sheets.  My role was to release the call to the Triumphant Reserve in that area. Watch next week for a video clip on how I will move forward in the nation to rally the God’s army in the coming year.

“13 Going on 30” Your Testings Produce a Testimony!
I know that many of you will want to join us for tonight’s “13 Going on 30” Meeting which will focus on testimony.  This is a dynamic gathering for the next generation led by Aaron and Tiffany Smith, along with Joseph Pierce.  Aaron shares:  “Greetings folksies...friends...family:  The Texas heater is revving up and after one whirlwind of a month ‘off’, we are diving back into our 13-30 meeting. The theme for this month’s meeting will be TESTIMONY. Our testimony is our trump card. It is our steadfast foothold, when we seem to have nothing else. It is not subject to the argument of doctrine, emotion or ambition. Testimony is what we are called to rehearse and be reminded of because it encompasses our past, present and rapidly approaching future. Finally, it is an instrument we are to use on each other (iron sharpens iron) to build faith and encourage. Come join with us on July 10, armed with your testimony, ready with your story, as we each add part and portion to the time set aside for us to wait, watch, listen and let our voices be heard.  For those joining by webcast, please email your testimony to AaronS[at]gloryofzion.org so we can have it with us. ‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…’ Rev 12:11 NKJV”

Fill your living room or dorm room with this rising generation and those young at heart, and worship with this team Friday night at 7 PM.  This gathering will also be available by webcast.  If you are in the area, Pastor Joseph will be taking a group to NRH2O Water Park on Saturday. Call 1-888-965-1099 and ask for Pastor Joseph for more details.

Register Now for OVERCOMING YOUR ENEMIES! (July 17-19)
Now is the time to call and secure your place for TRIUMPHING OVER YOUR ENEMIES with guest ministers Ray Hughes and Barbara Yoder.  We believe this gathering on July 17-19 is an incredible opportunity to rally the Body of Christ to triumph over our enemies!  Come as we release the anointing to finish strong and begin stronger. I will be officially releasing us into the season of “The Triumphant Reserve”.  Robert Heidler and I will explain the call of God to the remnant through history and how that clarion call is being heard today. We will ask the Lord to bring the sound of that call into the earth realm. 

To help us develop a triumphant mindset and expectation for breakthrough, we have invited Ray Hughes and Barbara Yoder to be with us.  Ray Hughes travels across this nation and the nations as a speaker, worship leader, storyteller, singer/songwriter and prophetic voice to regions and nations. He is passionate about training and releasing musicians and creative people into their destinies and the power of their purpose in the world and the church. He is a prophetic historian continuously re-digging the old wells of biblical, world and recent history for the purpose of releasing the fresh word of God for the kingdom today. Barbara Yoder is the founding apostle and senior pastor of Shekinah Christian Church, a racially and culturally diverse church in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She is known for her cutting-edge prophetic ministry and apostolic breakthrough anointing, and travels extensively within the United States and other countries ministering at various conferences and seminars.   Barbara has a passion to see the apostolic church restored (Acts 15:16-17) which will cause the harvest of new believers to erupt in cities, regions, nations, and the kingdom of God in every section of society.  She is known for releasing life and liberty.

I want to invite you to join us to gain your “five smooth stones,” so that like David with Goliath, you can overcome the giant that would oppose you!  We will begin on Friday night, July 17, at 7:30 PM (CDT) and meet through Saturday afternoon.  The cost for Triumphing Over Your Enemies is only $20 per person.  Call now to secure your place!!!

Firstfruits Celebration for the Month of Av! The NARROW SEASONAL TRANSITION IS HERE! On Saturday, July 18, at 7:00 PM, we will celebrate the blessings associated with the Hebraic month of Av.  This can be our “high point” or “low point” month, so we must remain vigilant in our choices.  Additionally, Av is the “Tet” month in a “Tet” year, so we must be sure our travail to bring forth the new does not fall short, but births the fullness of God’s plans and purposes.  There is no registration needed to join us on Saturday evening for Firstfruits, in person or by webcast.  I am also preparing a unique gift to remind us of the ending transitional time of this season.

The Lord is bringing us into a “narrowing” season.  Last week at Early Morning Prayer, the Spirit of the Lord said, “A new corridor is forming and I will narrow your way.  You must narrow your desires.  I am sanctifying desires and narrowing the corridor through which you will walk.  You are entering into new alignments and assignments, and coming into a place that will bring you forth into a realm you have not known. You will come from a dark place into light, but the corridor that you have been in is beginning to narrow to push you through into the new.” 

Not by coincidence, we have entered “the narrow places” or “dire straits”.  In traditional Judaism, the time period between the 17th of Tammuz (which began on Wednesday evening) and the 9th of Av (which begins at sunset on July 29) is a mourning period commemorating the breaching of the walls of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple.  Therefore, we want to be very vigilant regarding any attempt of the enemy to breach our walls and bring us into defeat.

Robert Heidler and I will minister this Sunday on “Crooked Places Becoming Straight!”  You can straighten up and overcome!

Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce
