Sound Creates Movement! A Worship Shift! This Sunday Robert Heidler and I Will Minister!

August 12, 2009

Dear Friends:

Tune in this week and month for the Issachar School! This is an EMOTIONAL time in the Body of Christ. We are getting many comments on how yesterday’s teaching is helping many to understand better how to maneuver through the end of this season! I am relistening NOW!

Restoring Emotional Health and Gaining New Strength for the War Ahead!
Yesterday morning we began our next Issachar School Course, Restoring Emotional Health and Gaining New Strength for the War Ahead!   I so enjoyed teaching on “Get Off the Emotional Roller Coaster and Get in TIME!”  So many of us do not fully understand our emotions and how they can hinder us from expressing the character and mood of Holy Spirit as we walk in the earth realm each day.  If you were unable to join us, this class is available “On Demand” through Monday night, August 17, so you can watch it at your convenience.  The cost is $15, and you can purchase your e-ticket on the MP3 Store on our website.  For more information on this program, go to www.gloryofzion.org/issachar.  You can also call 1-888-965-1099 and ask for Rose. 

Sound Creates Movement. A Worship Shift….This Sunday Robert Heidler and I will minister.
The Lord is initiating a new order for worship and intercession, and as we prepare ourselves to meet Him, He is longing to release the revelation that will set our course for the season ahead.  The DVDs of the services last Sunday are worth ordering.  Worship and intercession were followed by JoAnn McFatter’s message on how to ascend in the wind of the Spirit of God.  After more worship I shared on Nicodemus and how we must be born of water and the Spirit.  Keith Pierce concluded by sharing about “Mary Poppins, The Wind, and the Next Move of God!” He then shared a portion of his testimony and led us into a powerful time of worship. Don’t forget that our Sunday services are now available “on demand” through Tuesday evening.  We’ve already heard back from some of you on how this has been a great blessing  - which allows you to watch the services at a convenient time, as well as be able to pause the webcast replay if you are interrupted.

COME ONE, COME ALL FOR THE NEXT JUDAH WEEKEND.  Our guests are Robert Stearns and Eitan Shishkoff from Israel. No registration! No sign-up… Just come at 7:30PM Friday, August 21. 

Ecuador Trip Report!
Thank you for praying for our trip to Ecuador.  Ecuador is a nation hanging in the balance. This nation could affect the righteous plumb line of South America. Our time in both cities, Guayaquil and Quito, was so powerful.  On our last night in Ecuador during the Guayaquil meeting, I was the final speaker.  I asked the Lord, “How will you culminate this gathering and  see that we break through to a new place of victory?”  The Spirit of God quickened within me and said, “That is what I have brought you here to do! Don’t ask Me to do what you have been called and equipped to do!”  I knew that another teaching would not break us through, and that we would need to “go up” a different way.  (I sense the Lord saying this to all of us.) Earlier that day I had received an email sharing that we would release a sound in Ecuador.  As I invited the team to join me on stage, there was a strong, prophetic anointing.  When I asked John Price to release what the Lord was giving him, he shared about a sound that he heard earlier that evening. He didn’t understand what it was until that evening when Johnny Enlow was sharing on David and Goliath.  The sound that John heard and released was the sound of a slingshot circling overhead in preparation for the launching of the stone that will now begin to overcome the giant in Ecuador. He led us in the sound. We all began to release that sound and the faith level of that people began to soar!

Prophetic Words from Quito:
This is a time to watch for My thunder and lightning will come across this land.  My thunder and lightning will not come from the heavens, but underneath the earth.  I will send a call to that which has been captured in the earth to rise up and the earth will sound first.  Watch as the earth sounds forth the sound of change.  When the earth explodes in this region, the people will begin to sound forth.  As the people begin to sound forth, the heavens will begin to come down.  I announce to the government today, when the earth sounds forth in this region, and the people rise up throughout the entire nation, turn from the way that you are going!  Turn from the way you are going!  Turn, for you are My key turn-point nation.  Turn from the way Columbia is going! Turn from the way Venezuela is going! Turn from the way Peru would have you go!  When the earth sounds and the people sound and the heavens sound, this will be your sign to rise up and say, ‘The time is now to change the course of this land!’ 

In two years this nation will begin to represent the future of South America.  Do not be shifted from My purposes.  You will gain strength from this day and My people will march and sing in this land and many will come by air and by sea to experience the glory that I am causing to come down on Ecuador.  Though the government, the civil government, does not want to go this way, I will raise up a communication system that is new, that mobilizes the next move of God in Ecuador. Get ready, for the earth will cry out for this move in this land! My leaders will gather and lead the people in a move of My glory.

Prophetic Words From Guayaquil:
It’s a day of change for Ecuador.  You have been growing, but now you will break forth.  (The Apostles (Hugo)) You will create new models and you will develop new ways of training throughout this land that have not been developed.  This type of training will cut across lines of church barriers.  This will be the day of change where you will be sought after to help wake up the future of this land. I have been training you, but now you will draw out and train others. 

There are rising forces in this land and they are contending.  My people have been caught in a low place, but I am going to cause them to begin to arise.  There is a 40 day contending period that I am bringing into this nation.  I will begin to contend from the end of September, and there will be a pull to shift this nation from My purpose.  From the end of September through November you will begin to hear of the pulling and contending that is going on in the land.  But I have a people who have been hidden for a season!  This people will begin to come out in the open.  Where the enemy has been stopping My people from taking their authority in the land, My people will now begin to move by My hand.  Though they see giants in the land that are contending for the rule, there is a simple plan that will shift this nation under My authority again. 

I am going to pour Glory out, and pour Glory in.  Where My people have been scattered in the last season, and while the enemy is planning to rise up and control the decisions of the land, I will begin to gather My people in this land.  You are beginning a divine season of gathering, and I will circle this nation with the Fire of God! 

It will be heard that I have come to the north to visit.  I will visit a dark people that rest in the north, and the dance of My Spirit will break out in the north.  I will then begin to move to the south of this nation.  In the south of this nation there will be a cry that rises up and a supernatural unity that forms, and miracles and healing will break out in Ecuador.  Then I will move to the west of this nation.  There will be a refreshing move of God that sweeps them like a wind.  From the west will come ideas of new ways to prosper.  There will be a major re-shifting of the financial realm of this nation.  I will contend and visit in the East.  In the East I will begin to display My manifest mantle.  Though two forces are rising and contending, and though I have a people held and captured in the valley, that people will now rise up with revelation and overthrow the enemy, easily, in this land.  This will not be a hard battle!  Faith is rising up.  And in the middle of your faith rising up, you will cause the enemy to fall.  A new day has begun in Ecuador.  I will begin to birth this in the days ahead and a nation will change! Do not go backwards.  The Spirit of God will break forth with His plans for Glory.  And in the midst of the change that will be heard of worldwide and change greatly in the next 24 months, God has a people that are ready to break through, break out and break into His glory.  Rise up!  Rise up to your call!  I am sending you into this land in a new way.  You have heard My word, but now you will become that Word! My People will be alive in the land! 

(Sheryl Price prophesies) There will be a move of God on the children…as if they leave your room in the morning as a child but return in the evening as an adult.  I am going to grow these up in the spirit quickly.  And they will not fear what was feared in this past season.  For they will rise with faith in their mouths and one word will fell the giant!  Harvest!

Around this nation I have built a reservoir deep down in My people.  And a new cry will arise in the year ahead.  And I will begin to come down and deliver this people and instead of them being ruled by a structure, I will cause them to rise up and be the most influential in this land.  I have brought you to a time such as this and I say, get ready for the new to break forth within you.  For the sound that you have heard this night is the beginning of a new Kingdom rule.  A new Kingdom rule has now entered the atmosphere of Ecuador!  See the angelic hosts within your midst directing you against the enemy.  I have brought into your midst sounds of pursuit.  Do not back up at the end of this season!  Do not back up! Do not back up!  I will cause the government to note the atmospheric change.  I will cause the communications system to shift across this land.  You will hear as a sign that the winds over Ecuador have shifted.  The moment of change is now upon you. 

When we got off the plane in Miami, Tamara A. Seymour from San Diego, CA was there! She is a supporter of this ministry. She had been touring and praying in Ecuador. Below is her report:
From July 22^nd to August 8^th, I traveled through the Sierra region of Ecuador, which is the Andes mountain range that runs north - south through the middle of the country. This was intended as a sightseeing trip coupled with visiting friends from Los Angeles who have recently retired to Vilcabamba in the southern central area of the country. I began with exploring Quito and the surrounding villages with an archeologist as a guide. Tourism is not a large industry in Ecuador so we did not see many other tourists. The people in the villages were quite curious about us. Many were friendly and happy to share about their trade and handcrafts with us. Many hid as they were suspicious of our cameras. My guide explained about the indigenous people in the various villages and their worship of the sun and moon and their many superstitions which included believing that having human skulls in the home was good luck. When the Spanish conquered South America and introduced Catholicism, they incorporated much of the beliefs, worship and superstitions of the indigenous people. As an example, in many of the cathedrals and convents, St. Francis is seen holding a skull. Approximately 95% of the population is Catholic and much like Mexico, there are beautiful cathedrals in each village surrounded by much poverty. The people are very hard working and generally seem to be happy. As much as I enjoyed seeing the beautiful city and surrounding countryside and meeting the people, I was very grieved to see that the Christianity the people have known is so diluted and deceptive.

I then flew to southern Ecuador to visit my friends in Vilcabamba. This is a very remote village which has become a popular spot for foreigners to retire, primarily because it offers a rather inexpensive lifestyle in a very beautiful valley with nearly perfect weather year round. It has also become a magnet for those into New Age. The locals are very happy to have all the foreigners.

With Vilcabamba as our base, we traveled throughout the southern region of the country visiting many remote villages and town of indigenous groups, one of which (Saraguro) was very closed and suspicious of outsiders. In Saraguro we were the only tourists. We met several people who were excited to show us their homes and explain their businesses. However, we did encounter the less friendly side of town. My friend was mugged by one of the locals who jerked her camera out of her hand. Her husband and our taxicab driver grabbed him and things got very tense quickly as many locals were upset that we were causing trouble. A mob was forming against us. While they were fighting, I was praying in the Spirit. Just as it looked as though things were escalating, a beautiful young woman stepped out of nowhere, starting speaking and completely diffused the whole incident. I believe that she was an angel that ministered to us. My friends are not believers but they were very impacted by this as they had to admit that it was strange how quickly she calmed everyone down. I am very thankful for God’s protection!

Throughout my travels in the southern region, I saw the same Catholicism blended with pagan beliefs of the indigenous people as I saw around Quito. However, the people are much more relaxed and, except for Saraguro, open. I spent much of the time declaring that Jesus Christ reigns and declaring truth over the land and the people. I was very excited to hear that there is a move of God in the country and the team from Glory of Zion was ministering there. I believe that if the truth is preached, the people will receive it. The people of Ecuador need much prayer.

Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce
