"We Are At a Turning Point! Watch For the Signs! Key Prophetic Revelation For Now!" - Chuck D. Pierce - The Elijah List


Newsletter dated Tuesday, November 3, 2015
Dear Watching Ones: There are certain gatherings when the presence of God is so overwhelming. This past Sunday when we walked into the Tabernacle for our 7:30 AM service, you could sense HIM in the midst of us. What follows is a prophetic compilation from Sunday morning. Several key dreams with prophetic interpretation follow this.


Please read these dreams and prophecies carefully. All of these will help explain the "MOMENT" we are in.
This is the Day of the Turning Point!
I would say to you, "Embrace your turning point. Over this past season you've been sifted and you've been strained, and you have even fought for your very breath. But this is a day of change! This is a day of rearranging! 

This is a time that I AM sending a three-fold cord of empowerment into your soul that cannot be broken. 

For many of your nerves were strained and broken over the last seven years. Many covenants that you thought would last are now lying by the wayside.
"I am now sending a three-fold cord to reform, and to restore, and to rebuild. I am causing My restoration of your future to begin to rise. Step into the well and the water that is now stirring and moving. 

Watch Me begin to wash away what strained you. Watch Me cause you to shine. Watch Me give you new territory for this season.

"You have heard Me release Safe Passage. You have heard Me release Turning Point. But now you will see and hear Me as I come forth as Redeemer, Restorer, and Rebuilder. I am sending angels connected with these three dimensions of transformation. What was broken will be fixed, brought forth, and renewed.
"When you look at yourself don't look for the pot or vessel that you were. I've had to disconnect elements from how you were built, crush, and then add new liquid that would cause you to be made into a structure for the future.

What I am rebuilding, restoring and redeeming will look different from anything you expected from the past.

Others that look you at would say, 'Who is this person?'
"Your heel will crush the head of the snakes you've seen in the past. The attacks you've seen between brothers and brothers, and sisters and sisters – look ahead and see the covenant that I have been developing.

I will send My people realigned into the enemy's camp. This realigned army will defeat the enemy and the booty will be brought to My Kingdom. You will fight alongside those you thought were sifted away.

I am restoring an army in a new way, and I am realigning a new day.
"For I am bringing down the Ancient Book with mysteries.

These books carry the strategies for legislators of the Kingdom.

These strategies contain revelation for a new dimension of Kingdom power. These strategies will overtake the enemy in every region that I assign you to. So receive the books – the Ancient Books – that carry the strategies of the legislation of God."
I Need You! Therefore, I Am Drawing You!

"This will be a time that I will release a new seeking draw upon your life. You will begin to seek Me and long for Me. You will begin to say, 'I must have intervention! I must have a breaking-in of God's presence and His life!' I am going to draw you, and you will seek Me in a way you haven't sought Me! 

You will know Me in a way you haven't known Me! Feel the drawing, and submit to the drawing. Watch your new level of seeking begin. I will draw you into that which you have been longing to experience.

"For this is a time that I am beginning to brood and reform in a new way. For there are things that I have longed to see come into the earth realm.

As My people gather and loose the sound of Heaven, I will hover and rearrange chaos.

I am calling My people into a new place of alignment. My army is beginning to assemble. A new sound of joy, a new sound of laughter, and a new demonstration of power is beginning to arise. Allow My Spirit to brood over you. As I meet with you, you will see the two ends that could not meet in the last season begin to form a new line of demarcation.
"Your praise and worship are rising as an occupying force in the spirit realm. There is a rout taking place in the spirit world! This will only increase. There is a displacement coming in the second heaven from the worship and praise of My people as they seek My Spirit and respond to all I am offering them."
I Am Rearranging Your Past Confusion!
"I have been rearranging your confusion, for you have not been able to see the joy in the midst of the chaos around you. This will be a time that I draw out the joy that is in you. I have placed you in that chaos that is around you to produce joy.

If you will release the joy that I have developed within you, the chaos will subside and you will see the order around you.
"It's not how eloquently or long you pray! 

The key is the ONE WORD of faith. 

As you speak that one word, your situation will change. Do not let the downdraft pull you down into the circumstances that are surrounding you. Remain buoyant with that one word. The one word is your breakthrough in this season.
"Declare breakthrough after breakthrough after breakthrough into everything that seems chaotic. 

Your buoyant faith is what causes you to arise in the midst of everything that is trying to pull you down. Don't stop at one breakthrough, but go from breakthrough to breakthrough until you are beyond breakthrough.

"My Names that you have built within you in the past season will now come into fullness. This will cause angelic armies to align with you and push you through the atmosphere that is attempting to hold you. Every force must bow! It is not the mere words that you speak, but it is the one effective word that causes a 'bulls-eye' shot." 

(Prophetic words spoken by: Chuck D. Pierce, Keith Pierce, Acijam Otxoa, Brian Kooiman, Lisa Lyons, and Melinda Richardson.)
Anne Tate's Dream of the Beginning of Unusual Miracles!
On Sunday morning I had a dream just before waking up. In the dream I was seated at a high, square table that was open in the middle and that could seat 8 people on each of the 4 sides. (The word that came to me was 4-squared.) You (Chuck) were there along with others that I work and minister with. On the table in front of me was a pair of glasses that were folded – lens up. Something fell on one of the lens and created a circle of cracks like a rock hitting a windshield.
I picked the glasses up and the mar or starburst (the broken portion) slid right off the lens. The vision of your land, your ministry, and those that you thought you would work with, that had been marred in the past season, had now slid off. The miracle of restored vision occurred. What we had been looking through to develop the new beginning for our feast in the land portion had been restored.
The Lord spoke to me and said,"We are in a window of unusual miracles." 
I knew He was telling me that healing wasn't even a drop in the bucket of the miracles we are going to see. He began to stretch out words in the atmosphere around me of all kinds of unimaginable occurrences. (Photo via Pixabay)
The Lord had me comprehend that it was the faith that had been released over the last year as we did the "5:15 Movement" prayer watches that was now going to start manifesting. The 5:15 was the beginning of a new identity that produced faith in us. We then connected that with "The Counting of the Omer" which shifted into a harvest multiplication dimension. Following this we engaged in "Daniel Prayer".
Then we were led to exalt and pray the "Names of God" (Hallowed be Thy Name)! Now the "52 Days of Arising and Building" will thrust into a repairing the losses of the past, rolling away the reproach, walking in the Spirit, and securing our boundaries for the future.

Linda Heidler's Dream of Unlocking Keys of Revelation and Breakthrough!
Two young men and my daughter, Lindy, were like a special-ops team. Each had a portion of a special assignment and were skilled experts in what they did. They were very focused on an assignment somewhere in Israel. They were working very intently, but then threw their hands up and said, "This is it! We can't go any farther than where we are now." I knew they hadn't completed what they were supposed to do, and it was going to be very bad since the project had not been finished.
Suddenly, all three of them started jumping up and down, waving their arms and worshipping, and saying, "God, You are so good! Praise God! Hallelujah!" They could not contain or hold it in. In my mind, I couldn't see what had brought this kind of response. As they did that, keys started falling, and they reached out and grabbed them. When each one had a key, they looked at their key and at each other and said, "We can finish now!" Then they went right back to work.
When I woke up I heard the Scripture from Habakkuk 3:17-19. In those verses, exalt means "to jump for joy" and rejoice means "to spin wildly with joy". When we choose to worship like that in that kind of situation, the Lord gives us hinds' feet to ascend on the high places. All the sources of provision mentioned in the verses are "lowland" provision. However, the Lord was saying, "When you choose to worship Me like this, I will cause you to leap up to a place where none of that is an issue."
Additional prophetic interpretation by Chuck D. Pierce:
"You are at the end of a path that I have put you on. Although you have been trained and have come to a place of understanding of how to maneuver on this path, you can go no further until you rely upon Me. This will be a time that you cry out and rejoice in Me. 

In your rejoicing, I will begin to unlock revelation that will cause you to be able to unlock your future. (Photo via flickr)
"When you reach the end of your provision and understanding, worship and praise Me for all I've given you. If you will do that, then I will send down the door to your next storehouse. Many of My people will now be at their end. However, when you begin to rejoice, you will leap into a new vision and see into the place that I have for your future!"
Pam Pierce's Dream of The Narrow Doorway!
I was on a farm with a big old barn, farmhouse and people everywhere. I was in the house going from room to room, and noticed how narrow the doorways were. At one point, I started through a doorway and had to turn sideways to make it through. I got stuck and began to panic, but knew I had to exhale. After I exhaled I was able to make it through the door.
When I tried to leave that same room, I thought, "That doorway looks even narrower now." So I exhaled and started through but got stuck and really began to panic. The people in the room with me said, "Stay calm...we'll just oil you up!" So they got out a bottle of olive oil and greased me up on both sides and pushed me through.
Prophetic interpretation by Janice Swinney, LeAnn Squier and Chuck D. Pierce:
"There are familiar doors that you have gone through before. But in this season it will take a different approach to be able to go through these doors. When you try to go back through a door I've already sent you through, even that will require a different stance. 

Only as you are fully led, covered and oiled by My Spirit, will you be able to move through those doors.
"Some of those doors will also require others to help you get through. You will not only need an anointing, but a collaborative spirit – a synergy that will bring forth a new energy. Look to your companions for the anointing. 

For surely, they will assist you as you move through ever-narrowing doors. Know that the opportunities are there along with the resources and provision to get you through your door. (Photo via flickr)
"Though you are moving forward, I will be returning you to some places you've been to previously. For you to get back in those places, you must have the help and anointing of others to allow you to bring the spoils from those places back into the new. Time is beginning to narrow around you.

In the midst of this narrowing, I will anoint you, and cause other's anointings to assist you so you accomplish that which I am calling you to do."
Miracle Report from Myanmar!
Doug Fraser is one of the apostolic leaders aligned with this ministry. He wrote us yesterday to share the following:
Here is a miracle report from a young pastor that I am working with in Myanmar. On the day you shared the reading of Psalm 37 for our Walking in the Spirit Prayer Focus, I sent it to Pastor M, since I share with him what we are doing at Glory of Zion.
 He sent me a message last night that another pastor was caught in military crossfire at a freedom rally in his area. He was carrying a Bible, and a bullet fired at demonstrators hit his Bible and was stopped at Psalm 37. The people are sharing this as a miracle of God's protection! Next year I am planning to go to Myanmar to work on setting up an Apostolic/Kingdom center there. But I just had to share the power of God's favor and moving forward in the nations by our obedience to share His current revelation. (Photo via Wikimedia)
Wow – what an amazing testimony! Stop and read Psalm 37:23-24 and thank the Lord that He orders our steps and upholds us daily: "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand."
Blessings,

What We've Gotten Wrong About Women in Ministry



Woman with mouth taped
God made women to fit, so why do so many see them as a misfit for ministry? (istockphoto.com/airportrait )
Recently I sat watching as my young son's frustration grew. When I went over to see what the problem was, Noah was trying to put a puzzle together and battling a particular piece he could not get to fit. It seemed to belong, but he couldn’t find its place. He was about to disregard the piece as a misfit, so I gently told him, “Try again, Noah, only this time turn it around.”
Within seconds, it clicked into place. What had seemed useless became useful. The piece had always had a place; it just needed turning around.  
As a woman in ministry, I have often felt the role of women can present the same dilemmas this puzzle piece presented my son. The church around the world has had a jarring response to this issue. Some have viewed the "women piece" as a misfit, while others keep turning this topic around in discussion and thought, trying to find where it fits.  
God didn’t create Eve as a random piece. He made her to fit Adam both naturally and spiritually; they were a perfect fit. They were called to rule and tend the garden together. Eve was called to be Adam’s helpmate, his partner:
“Male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth’” (Gen. 1:27-28).
God knew it required them both to make this picture complete. He wanted Adam’s strengths to fit with Eve’s and for them to be used across the whole garden. He didn’t ask Adam to divide the garden into sections, so as to contain Eve’s influence as a woman. He didn’t separate all the female animals for Eve to feed and nurture so her authority would be gender-specific. God created a power team and entrusted them both to outwork that empowerment together.
So why is it still so awkward in some places to allow both men and women to function together in this way? Why do we divide what God united so beautifully?
For years I have led in my local church alongside incredibly gifted men. I have not seen them as my competition nor my enemy. I have seen them as I believe God wants me to see them: as gifted leaders I am called to lead alongside. My husband and I have found our fit in our home, and we don’t feel we have to change that in God’s home, where we also pastor, teach, train, preach and lead the house together. The house we are building has the voice of a mom and a dad. I don’t just speak on Mother's Day or at women’s events. I speak to our house, to the men and the women, to the young and the old.
Though it has not always been this way.
My personal journey as a woman in ministry has been to experience the diverse and sometimes dysfunctional ways this "piece" has been handled. I grew up with a huge passion for God’s house and from the age of 14 was dedicated to playing my part to the full. The only problem was that at that time, the church I was a part of saw women in ministry as a misfitting piece. I remember being told I could speak to women about women’s issues but not to the church. I was required to wear a head covering if I was going to speak to the wider body, and while I submitted to my leadership at the time, I was left feeling like a burden when all I wanted to be was a blessing.
My desire as a woman was to help, not hinder, and therefore I had to persevere to keep trying to play my part even when I was told my part was not that necessary. Over time, the church I belonged to changed, and as it adapted, my "piece" became more accepted.  
Today I have the privilege to speak and teach across the globe, and as a woman I can see the church embracing more this piece of the picture—yet we still have work to do. We have to ask, Why are we trying to make fit what God has already perfectly made to fit? My prayer is that the church across the globe will harness the power of women and let it add color, depth, insight and beauty to every aspect of God’s house. 
I pray that where the issue of women in leadership has become overcomplicated, we will be willing to "turn the piece around" like my son did, see it differently, and discover the wonderful fit God created each of us to be. God did not make any misfits; there is place for us all. My simple prayer is that every piece will take its place so we can get this picture finished, complete in all its beauty, just as our Creator intended.
