Chuck D. Pierce: The Next 40 Days Seem Critical for God's Children - Counting Your Days to a New Dimension of Increase!

Chuck D. Pierce:
Newsletter Dated: Wednesday, April 23, 2014

Chuck D. PierceDear Prospering Saints:

This past weekend was nothing less than a performance of God in our midst to prepare us for our future. As we approach Pentecost, we must continue to shift our minds and thinking processes toward HARVEST. Even though the time frame from Passover to Pentecost is 50 Days, the next 40 days seem critical for God's children.

This is the beginning of the next 40 days of critical revelation.

NEW DOORS are FORMING!

To "form" means to develop or mold the shape or outline of something or to give meaning, character or nature to something. Another way of looking at a forming time is when something is becoming what it will be in days ahead. This includes the conditioning of our mind and body in regard to its mental performance ahead.

A forming season includes conceiving, training, and disciplining.

This phase denotes the arrangement of the part of a thing that gives its distinctive appearance.
A key Scripture reference about Pentecost time is 1 Corinthians 16:8. Paul purposed to stay at Ephesus until Pentecost, because an effectual door was opened to him for his ministry.

Many enemies are behind this forming door, but the Lord says:

"Do not focus on your enemies during this season, but watch the door form and be ready to enter into this new opportunity. I will give you grace over your enemies. I am releasing your new assignment and you will go forth into new mission fields."

Revelation Now!

Incredible revelation starts pouring in between Passover and Pentecost. We are presently in the time of counting the Omer – the counting of days between Passover and Pentecost. This counting is intended to remind us of the link between Passover (which commemorates the Exodus) and Pentecost (which commemorates the giving of the Torah).

Omer literally means sheaf. Leviticus 23:15 shares the blessing of counting the omer. The time between Passover and Pentecost is a transition time. Transition means you cross over.

The omer time is the time of looking at how you will consume your supply and unlock supply for the future. This is an important period of growth and introspection. We must review all revelation from the past season, and the way we operated in supply in our last season.

Freed to Receive the Word! This counting reminded the Israelites that their redemption from slavery was not complete until they received the Torah. The people were freed from Egypt so that they could receive the Torah.

A major reason of this season is to show your desire for revelation from God to come alive in you.

If you enter into this time of "counting the omer" you will press in to new revelation.

Why This Timing? Why Even Be Concerned About the Feasts?

Our covenant was established around the understanding of the sun, moon, and the earth in alignment with Father's plan of redemption. The Word of God revolves around the Feasts. They were holy assemblies, for holy rehearsals. The remembrance of these physical events causes us to understand the spiritual significance of what came and what is to come!

The Feasts forecasted His sacrifice for us.

Also, they foretell the full redemption of His people and the alignment of all nations, which are His inheritance (Psalm 2). When we participate in the waving of the First Fruits at Passover time and then receiving the anointing to gather and increase at Pentecost (Feast of Weeks), our faith is displayed and our confidence arises for our provision to be released.

Today, there is a futility in legalistically participating in the Feasts. We cannot legalistically keep the Feasts, but we can honor the Father by remembering Him and receiving from Him at these appointed times (Galatians3:10).

No longer do we have to seek an ultimate Sacrifice - He was already given on the Cross. This broke satan's headship over us personally, as well as mankind corporately. However, we must still "enter in" to the fullness of this plan.

By participating and remembering the Feast times NOW, they cease to be shadows of things to come. They actually cause us to see our future path to our promise. May you eat the Word below, and journey closer to His plan of Fullness for your life. Psalm 34 says, "Taste and see that the Lord is good." Take time to join in and allow your FAITH to arise so you are positioned for a new dimension of increase!

How to Begin!

Stop! Review your blessings! Bless God! Get to know Him!

See the fullness of who He is, through His Son who was sent to redeem us. The seven weeks associated with counting the omer are meant to press you into spiritual improvement, new relationships, new respect, spiritual correction and restoration from the mistakes of the past, and the development of a triumphant mindset for the entire season ahead. Initially, I had thought to send you a daily process on how to do this, but realized that many people get into legalistic formulations and miss the point of why we do something.

Make a list of the promises that you wish to see manifest in this new season. List those promises and then speak them into the atmosphere around you. Decree that things you never saw in last season will manifest in this season. Remember, they may take another form in this season.

Realign Your Emotions Over the Next Few Days!

May you realign your emotions so the function of your "expectation" is restored and receptive from Holy Spirit. May your vision to be shifted, redefined and established. "Without a vision (prophetic revelation and utterance) a people perish." Unlock the supply lines for our future. This will entail warring to break the conformity of our thinking processes and develop a harvest mentality. This will also include understanding the dynamic of warring with structures that would stop the transference of wealth.

Daily Scripture and Prayer Focus:

I decree that after doing this focus your "end will be greater than your beginning". Biblically, the "counting of the Omer" would begin on the first day of the barley harvest by waving their harvest before the Lord. Pentecost is when the wheat harvest begins. Let's move from one level of harvest to another.

(Photo viacommons.wikimedia.org)

Day 1: Read Genesis 11-13; Leviticus 23: Luke 14:25-33. All Biblical understanding revolves around covenant.

Day 2: Read Exodus 15-16, Matthew 14:13-21, and Revelation 15. Rejoice and sing the song of the Lord. Thank the Lord for your deliverance. Meditate on the song of Moses. The suffering covenant people sang at their time of deliverance; we as Christians will sing it again. Thank Him for all the provision that you are receiving. Even if it is "wilderness" provision, thank Him! Let Him take what you have and break it open and multiply it. This song was a corporate song.


Day 3: Read Exodus 20 & 23, Matthew 17:5 and 28:20. These are key chapters in understanding justice. Ask the Lord to give you revelation of Feast times. This will cause you to understand God's timing for your life, as well as unlocking supply. Ask Him to make you aware of angelic visitation and leading. Confess as sin, the times when you were resistant to be led properly. Ask Him about a First Fruit offering for the Feast of Pentecost. Much promise will be unlocked to you in these chapters.


Day 4: Read Joshua 3-5; 2 Samuel 5-7. These are chapters on preparation, and how to follow (the ark and the priests) into your future. Let me suggest a day of fasting. Focus on your place of crossing over for this season. Also, ask the Lord about those whom you have relationship with that are helping you move forward. Let the Lord revive your life by re-circumcising your heart. Many of us hang on to last season's provision.

Declare that new provision will begin.

The manna ceased and the Children of Israel had to learn to use the provision in their Promised Land. This allowed them to reinstate the Feast of Passover, to get them back on track. They were unable to do Passover for 40 years, because all they had was manna and quail. God changes our provision many times, to get us back in synch with His full plan. Get ready to face what has always seemed invincible to you. David had to learn the procession of the Ark! We must watch the Ark now!


Day 5: Read Matthew 14:22-36, John 6, and Exodus 33. Be willing to cross over into the place the Lord is calling you. You might want to pull aside into a quiet place, to really seek Father. Declare that you will not move forward without sensing His presence.


Day 6: Read Acts 12 and Esther 9. Memorize Philippians 2:27. Ask the Lord to do a new thing in your prayer life. The beheading of James was during Passover. Ask the Lord to hide you from the religious world. Many times our past failures propel us into a whole new fervency of prayer. Pray and ask God for angelic help to come down, so you can move into the next season. Make a declaration that every decree that is set against you will be exposed and overturned, and that you WILL advance.


Day 7: Read Ephesians 1-4. Recognize your condition, as well as your position. Thank Him, for the change that Holy Spirit has brought you. Thank Him, for His love that has gotten you through so many situations. Thank Him, that we are maturing into the fullness of His plan. Look at the government of the Church. Jesus ascended to Heaven to take His throne next to Father. He gives us access. Ask the Lord to be sure your gift is aligned corporately.

Get started now and do not look back!

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

Chuck Pierce has the clearest understanding on the timings of God and prophetic seasons we are in – more than anyone I've ever known. I've often described Chuck as an Issachar Prophet.

What's an Issachar Prophet?

The "Sons of Issachar" were those who "understood the times and knew what Israel should do."
1 Chronicles 12:32: "...from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do – 200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command..."

Chuck has studied how God operates in the "times" we live, using the Hebrew calendar He (God) created.
Using that knowledge and using prophetic revelation, Chuck teaches and prophesies here what God is saying for the next 40 days. He even includes here – day by day prayer focus directives for the next seven days. I intend to read and pray through each day on Chuck's daily prayer calendar included here.

Be encouraged and enjoy!

Wednesday, April 23, 2014

We often think of harvest as a gathering of souls, but harvest is also a time of maturing.  As we mature in the Lord, He teaches us about our calling and brings it into greater focus. Commissioning, however, is a  time when we receive the release from the Lord into our calling and are now held to a greater standard of accuracy and responsibility. We must learn not to confuse calling with commissioning.

Donnie McClurkin, pastor and recording artist, shares his testimony at the Holy Land Experience in Orlando, Fla., during an April 12, 2014, performance and recording.
In a heart-stirring testimony, Pastor Donnie McClurkin credited his God-given musical talents and the prayer of an influential gospel singer in helping him to get free from the shame and sense of inferiority he had been experiencing at just 11 years old.
"I never thought that I would be doing this because people told me what I could not do," said McClurkin. "They didn't tell me who I was, they never told me what I could accomplish, who I could be. They put the shackles on and the limits on."
"But God used music to free me by increments of all the bondage. Until I could move past what people thought of me, until I could move past people's opinion, until I could move past people's nay-saying, until I could see in me what others wouldn't tell me was there."
McClurkin, who pastors Perfecting Faith Church in Freeport, N.Y., and is the winner of several Stellar, Grammy, Dove and other awards, gave the brief testimony during a recent performance at the Holy Land Experience in Orlando.
He went on to share how Andrae Crouch, a pastor, a celebrated gospel artist and one of the pioneers of Contemporary Christian Music, encouraged him at the age of 11 with a prayer that God would give to McClurkin what God had given to him.
Watch McClurkin's brief testimony in the video player below:

Donnie McClurkin testifies how God freed him from bondage.
McClurkin has shared publicly the troubles he had as a youth, including the death of a sibling, substance abuse in his family, and being sexually abused by both his great uncle and later his great uncle's son.
The 54-year-old minister and recording artist, born Donald Andrew McClurkin Jr., would go on to confess that as an adult he struggled with same-sex attraction due to his being abused as a child. However, he shared in 2002, that he had been "delivered" from a gay lifestyle.
"I've been through this and have experienced God's power to change my lifestyle. I am delivered and I know God can deliver others, too," McClurkin shared, according to The Washington Post.
McClurkin has faced push-back due to his ex-gay testimony, with a fracas occurring last summer when the Christian singer was allegedly "uninvited" from a Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial concert in Washington, D.C., presumably due to his expressed views on homosexuality.
While McClurkin insisted that D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray had bowed to the pressure of gay rights activists, Gray told reporters it was the gospel singer who had decided to drop out of the event.

Jerusalem Inspiration

Through every trial and tribulation, the Jewish people have leaned on the empowering words of today's verse, to cling to God's Word throughout the generations for "He is our life." We pray that as we "dwell upon this Land," the one earthly thing that can heal and give life to all people, Israel’s blood supply and the resources to protect it, are always abundant.

Easter in Jerusalem

In Jerusalem, thousands of worshipers attended services at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, one of the holiest spots in the Christian world, to light candles as a celebration of Easter.

U.S. Supreme Court: Is Jerusalem in Israel?

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed this week to examine whether or not to allow Americans born in Jerusalem to list Israel as their place of birth.

Yesterday's Photo Trivia

Yesterday's photo was the Chagall Windows in Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital. The 12 stained glass windows represent the 12 Tribes of Israel. Damaged during the Six Day War, Chagall told the hospital to focus on the defense of Israel, and he would make them new, more beautiful windows.

The Womb of Awakening: The Birth of the Mysteries of God by Ian Johnson

The Womb of Awakening: 

The Birth of the Mysteries of God 

by Ian Johnson

Identity Network

New life is always hidden in its conception, but the fruit of conception results in the birth of and revelation of the mysteries of God.
Mysteries only remain mysterious while they are hidden, but when the ways of God come into the light, the Sons of God know His ways. In an age where many are saying the Church is irrelevant, God is bringing new life to the fruit of her womb.
If we look for a revival (a fresh release of an old move) all we get is the revival of an old move. But if we seek revelation of the pattern of heaven, we get the birth of the mysteries of heaven on earth.
We are in the third day of the Church and it's worth noting here that the revelation of the fruit of Eve's womb didn't appear until her third child was born. The fruit of Gods salvation didn't come from Able or Cain but from her third son Seth. So the third day of the Church is going to reveal the fullness of the salvation offered by God to mankind.
The Hidden is Revealed
Romans 8:22 says that the Worlds groan for the revelation of the SONS as in childbirth. That which has been a mystery in the darkness of the womb is about to be revealed in the birth of SONS.
When that which is hidden is revealed, it becomes the engine to transition, from mystery to revelation. The revelation of SONS and fruit is the glory of the third day church. Currently we live in the fruit of the Reformation of 1517, but that was just a pregnancy, not a birth
The Church for a long while now has been pregnant with promise, we have seen stirrings in the womb and even known that the womb contains wonderful new life. But we haven't been able to describe the awakening because its image has been hidden in the darkness of the womb. Psalm 139 so beautifully paints a picture of God knitting us together in our mother's womb. This is true for us as individuals but it's also true of the mysterious womb called the Church.
The picture of childbirth is the picture I want to portray in this article, before birth the awakening clung to its mother through the mystery of blood in the womb, (the Womb called the Church) but when the awakening is presented at birth; the revelation of the SON is there for all to see and the one who carried the awakening has a role change. She now has to train up a child in the way he should go. Her role is no longer to steward the mystery but to help the mystery to become a fully grown SON. Hence it says in the book of Ephesians that the role of the Pastor, teacher, evangelist, Prophet and Apostle is to present fully grown, mature, functioning SONS. 

The role of the five-fold is not to rule but to bring them forth as mature SONS of the Kingdom. The role of ruling belongs to the SONS. So the five-fold gifts are only there to train the SONS to rule as SONS. This is the great birth and the great awakening taking place right now in the womb called the Church.
The Role of the Church
The SONS become the mystery revealed, it's taking a while for the Church to understand her role, but she will because God has chosen the Church to be the Womb of awakening in the earth - the place where SONS reveal the Kingdom of God. So that we proclaim with the saints in heaven, The Kingdoms of the earth, have become the Kingdoms of our God and His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever.
In the same way Mary carried the Messiah in her womb until it was time for Him to be presented, so the Church has carried the SONS, remember that Jesus was the firstborn among many SONS. When Mary released Jesus into the world she lived in every range of emotion possible to a human - joy, sadness, sorrow, fulfillment, etc., the whole range. It's the same for the Church, as she learns to let the fruit of her womb go into all the world and become Jesus to the nations.
There is a great awakening upon us and this article is a call to SONS to come forth, out of the reformation of 1517 and into Sonship and dominion. Placed before us is an open door; into the realms of heaven and heaven on earth. A place that will bring great honor  to Jesus. A place that will bring delight and shouts of joy from those who have gone before, from the Church in heaven who are waiting to see their reward revealed in a generation of SONS. This is your day and your hour to bring forth the reward for the suffering of our Messiah Jesus.

Blessing or Curse - Now Think On This by Steve Martin


Blessing or Curse
- Now Think On This
Steve Martin


"Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.” Deut. 11:26-29 NKJV


The words you speak impact people more than we often realize. An encouraging word sown at the right time to a person wanting and needing some more hope, for their troubling heart or worrisome mind, can change a direction a person is going in, and effect their life beyond the immediate vision. Spoken with a prophetic impact that the Holy Spirit generates, a spoken word at the right time can even mean life or death for that person. It can be as a lifeline thrown out to one needing a pull out of the engulfing water.

A believing life “spoken” to a generation, one that is lived out of obedience to the voice of the Lord and following after Him, will have even more impact on many people; even a generation or more that follows behind. The lives of countless men and women, who heard the call of the Lord, and responded with, “Here I am Lord, Your servant is listening. Do unto me according to Your word,” have been so instrumental in changing nations by their simple obedience, day after decades of days.

In offering themselves in entrustment to His plans and purposes, their families, their communities, their nations were given the opportunity to be in the overflow of the Lord God’s blessing and provision that fell on them, and then flowed from and through them. Hearing and obeying the Father does that.

In our day, leaders in religion, business, media, entertainment, government, arts and education have a tremendous impact on their cultures – the communities, families and all the ones their waves of influence touch, for good or bad. Understanding that our actions will bring either blessing or curse upon those who look to us for guidance, knowingly or unknowingly, will have long lasting, even eternal, effects as a result of our actions. For those who hear and obey the Creator of all - blessings will flow downward. 

Ones who disregard and even despise the natural and spiritual laws put in place to guide and protect, those set forth by God Himself, the resulting just judgment will come forth, now or for sure later. What we sow we will reap. It is a natural and spiritual law that cannot be broken, except to result in bearing bad fruit.

You break the natural and spiritual laws in the universe and they will ultimately break you. (Any argument on that? Just have a reality check look in the nation you abide in.)

This truth has been proven out again and again in history, both in the written Scriptural documentation of the people of Israel, and in every nation which either followed the Lord’s way or opposed His purposes. Blessing or curse is our choice.

Having been a parent myself for over 35 years now, at the time of this writing, and also having served in several top leadership roles in ministry and secular business for over 40 years, I have seen that the actions leadership take will have even more of a lasting effect in a child’s life, or a company’s future, than just words spoken. The ripple of those actions taken at each point show up years later down the road.

It is true that actions do speak louder than words, for what is really in your heart will truly come out, especially in those times when a decisive response is needed in a critical situation. Then it really shows what you have, or don’t have, in your character. Blessing will follow, or a response as a curse will result.

To say it again - how you respond and deal with situations that come your way will be shown, as that which you really are will come out from that which is within. You can’t give out what you don’t have within you. From a pure spring flows pure water. From a cesspool flows accumulated filth.

“The good person produces good things from the store of good in his heart, while the evil person produces evil things from the store of evil in his heart. For his mouth speaks what overflows from his heart.” Luke 6:45 Complete Jewish Bible

“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.” Mark 7:21-23 NKJV

Speaking to my generation, we have the responsibility, the daily choice to walk in the righteous path we know is the Way, the Truth and the Life. It is black and white. It is already firmly stated in the Lord’s Word. By choosing to follow Him daily, we are impacting the life the next generation will see and then also have the choice to walk in or not. We must do our part if we expect them to do theirs.

We have the option to daily live a righteous and holy life, set apart for the Lord’s purposes. We can choose to “do our own thing, in seeking our own pleasure”, which ultimately will bring a curse on us and the generation that follows, or we can heed the Lord’s word and follow Him.

But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will uproot you from My land which I have given you, and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

"As for this house, which was exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ' Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?' "And they will say, 'Because they forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers who brought them from the land of Egypt, and they adopted other gods and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this adversity on them.'" 
2 Chronicles 7:19-22 NASB

As it was for Israel, so choices taken will bring the same results in any nation. We must choose the blessing, and not allow the curse to come upon our land. Today, we must choose the Lord.
