“YES, YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS TRIAL”
August 14, 2008
I saw in the Spirit that some are now in the midst of a circumstance so potentially devastating that fear is drawing near. Others worry that they are beyond the point of recovery. The Holy Spirit wants to reminded you that you have a Friend who sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24) and His adhesiveness is stronger than super-glue. Do not agree with the accusations of devil (Revelation 12:10). The enemy has whispered to some: “You are a loser, a failure; you’re washed up, never to recover, always to be known as one who didn’t measure up to the call.” Some know what David meant when he said “no man careth for my soul” (Psalm 142:4) and Job when he wrote “My soul is weary of life” (10:1). This mess, this ‘no way out’ dilemma can and will be turned around (Isaiah 65:24). God’s view of what is happening is much different than yours. He will restore your soul (Psalm 23:3), renew your mind (Romans 12:2) and enlighten your eyes (Isaiah 35:5). Yes, He will deliver you (2 Peter 2:9). Have all deserted you? He will not. If you are in the place of despair and heartache; do not turn away from God, instead:
► KNOW THAT GOD HAS ALREADY CREATED A PLAN FOR YOUR RECOVERY
While you’re having those occasional thoughts of quitting, keep in mind that God is currently behind the scenes putting things back together better than they were before you entered this mess (Jeremiah 29:11). Some have asked, ‘God, how long do I have to stay in this valley before You do something?’ That’s the wrong question. The right question is, ‘God, how should I conduct myself while You are working on this thing?’ The timing is up to God, (and the attitude is up to you), but I’ll tell you this: It will take no longer than it has to. Not one second longer. God takes no pleasure in you going through this and seeing you suffer. Yet, He will not waste one of your tears (Isaiah 25:.
► THE DEVIL HAS SAID, ‘YOU HAVE BLOWN IT BEYOND REPAIR’…THAT IS A LIE
No matter what the obstacles, no matter how many times you have failed, no matter how big the pit you have fallen into, His plan for your recovery is sure (Isaiah 65:24). Feel like you’re being chased by giants? God doesn’t lie and He has promised to deliver you even if giants with twelve fingers and twelve toes are chasing you (II Samuel 21: 22). “He shall deliver you in six troubles; yea, in seven shall no evil touch thee” (Job 5:19). ‘Six troubles, yea even seven’ is a Biblical idiom or phrase that means no matter how many troubles (i.e. ka-Zillions) He will deliver you. Get that in your head.
► KNOW THAT GOD’S PLAN FOR YOUR RECOVERY IS FOOLPROOF
As soon as Peter denied Jesus (John 18: 25), God had a plan for Peter’s restoration (John 21:17). This wasn’t the first time Peter blew it and it wouldn’t be the last, so it is with each of us (Romans 7:19). God knew it was going to happen long ago and He made provision for it. You’re not going under, you’re going through. Come high water, come fire or come all the demons of hell, the Lord will deliver you. David wrote “Thou has caused men to ride over our heads; we went through the fires and through the water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place” (Psalm 66:12). This word wealthy means ‘rich fulfillment’. Even though the enemy (and even your own mistakes) may have drained you of hope and strength, God will again bring the rich fullness of His presence into your life. There is no ‘if’ ‘and’s’ or ‘but’s’ about it. He will do it. Why? He’s so madly in love with you it’s beyond your comprehension (Romans 8:35-39).
► RECOGNIZE THAT HIS ANSWER IS ON THE WAY – EVEN AT THE DOOR
When we get discouraged and Satan tells us the situation is hopeless we need to resist (James 4:7) and take a stand (Ephesians 6:13). Remember though, no one overcomes by sitting down. Whatever you do, don’t start sulking all day and feeling sorry for yourself. Stop with the ‘should da, could da, would da’ stuff, dust yourself off and get back to the business of the Kingdom. Don’t try to figure out how He will help you. Don’t imagine that suddenly He will say, ‘Abra Kadabra’ like Houdini. Oh, yes, He could do an instant miracle and just might, but He wants you to trust Him to do it His way no matter what that may be. Paul was stoned (and this was on a good day). His friends supposed he was dead (Acts 14:19-21) but the next day he was on the road to preach the Gospel. Some of you feel like you have been stoned, but you will get up like nothing happened. The enemy likes to whisper to you that things will not change or turn around. Do not listen to him or anyone who speaks with unbelief. Like a bolt of lighting it will hit you that Jesus won the battle for you and you are called to be a conqueror with Him (Romans 8:37). No, you may not feel like a conqueror right now, but Jesus has passed the baton to me and you (John 20:21) and He did not promise feelings would always accompany the call. Rejoice, in all the pain, bewilderment and inner turmoil, God is working to reverse the circumstance and use it for your re-commissioning. You who thought you were unfit will re-emerge stronger than ever and the devil will see his work backfire. Stand up...the horizon is before you. The dawn breaks. Victory is coming and you are one of His warriors!

Can you hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to the churches? Come up higher. Come up and be elevated from this earth realm. Desire the things of the heavenlies. Yes the things of my house. Do you think that heaven will be as it is on earth? No. You must desire the things of my Kingdom. You must seek after intimacy with your God.
I am speaking of a walk into my Kingdom. A walk of surrender and love of the things of my Kingdom. How do you make such a transition? How do you find this communion and oneness with the Father? Acknowledge My deity; acknowledge My Kingdom is at hand. Get on your knees in humility and cry out for the riches of My glory. The glory of the everlasting Father. Your Father who loves you with an everlasting love. A love only a Father could have. Experience this oneness with me through my Spirit that dwells within you and my Son that sits at My right hand.
Acknowledge me.
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches. And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens. I know thy works; behold I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it; for you have a little strength and have kept my word, and have not denied my name.
Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the house of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly; hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown."
Revelation 3: 6-8; 10-11

SET APART FOR HIGHER GLORY
(A Word of Demarcation)
August 14, 2008
This is the end of the age, and My people are rising up as a strong and mighty warrior able to pull down the strongholds of the enemy sent out to hinder and defeat the purposes of My kingdom, but I will not allow the enemy to combat My people any longer where they have been weak and beat down. For now is a day of new beginnings. Yes, there is a turning of tides against the evil one. Where he thought he had a stronghold, now there is freedom from bondage.
Rise up and be strong and take the land. Now is the time to run and escalate in My spirit and pull together the troops with one mind and in one accord touching My heart with the love and fervor needed to have mighty breakthroughs. Yes, from glory to glory you will go as you cast down strongholds over your own life able to defeat the enemy and pull down the strongholds over the land.
Yes, let out a victory shout for this is the time to rejoice. What the enemy has meant for harm is turning for your good and the good of the land. Yes, the nation will rise up with a fervor to escape the clutch of the evil one. Yes, My will will be done, My kingdom will come on earth as it is in heaven.
As you put down your agenda and lift up Mine, united with one purpose, the body of Christ will rise up to new levels in My spirit. No more will you be called barren, but you will produce much fruit of righteousness and honor. You have defeated the enemy as you have cried out to Me in desperation abandoning all to serve Me.
And now I will give you great grace to enable you to finish the race. No more will you be called defeated, but you will be called victorious, mighty conquerors!
You are My bride, and I am pleased with you. You are greatly honored, a kingdom of kings and priests, with the Blood of royalty flowing through you. The enemy is under your feet for he is a defeated foe. Now walk out the victory, says your God.
4 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / DIVINE ORDER by Marsha Burns 8/14 on: Today at 06:14:03am
August 14, 2008: Refuse to allow regret and mourning to occupy your time, energy, or spiritual space. It is time to accept the fact that what you have had to endure has provided an opportunity for you to choose whether you will be strengthened in the realm of the Spirit or weakened because of your mindsets and emotions. My order is being established by what you must release and what you must embrace. Let Me direct you in this and bring you into divine order, says the Lord.
Isaiah 62:1-3 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."
5 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / WALK IN FAITH 8/14 on: Today at 06:10:11am
Walk in Faith
Aug 14 2008 01:26AM
You have been tested and tried in fire. Your future has faith factored in. Fear is removed. In grace you are at the source. Surrender secures you to the Son. Walk with him and you are in faith. Why wander? Enter into the wonder of his love. He walks with you. Take the steps of transformation. You are walking and leaping and praising God at the beautiful gate. He has strengthened the weak. Hope in God. His presence is not hidden from you. You are near to what is most precious. Tender words have been spoken to you in this hour. The throne of God is not empty. Fullness dwells with you and in you. Holy Spirit has come. Father has given what you need. Jesus Christ is risen.

6 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / AWAKEN! by Chuck Pierce 8/14 on: Today at 06:07:25am
"3-Day Prayer Focus to Wear New Passion into the Future: Awaken!"
New Passion is Coming Alive in You!
Dear Praying Friends and Supporters:
We are receiving incredible reports from the Body of Christ on how the 3-Day Prayer Focuses are helping them break through. Recently a tongues message came forth and I heard the Lord say:
"Your life is like a mosaic. In the midst of Me piecing you together, the enemy has inserted pieces of infirmity. He has used your circumstances to fragment your soul. He has tried to keep the brokenness in you so you cannot form the new picture and vision for your future.
But I am your Abba Father. I am the One who knew you from the beginning. I know how to piece you together. I am the One who knew the plan and the pattern for your best to come forth. Though the enemy has placed other pieces within you, I am doing surgery to remove these miscoded pieces. This is a difficult time for you, for it is a season of removal and separation.
I love you and will remove and replace the fragmented, war-torn pieces with My love and wisdom. Get ready, for My manifold goodness and wisdom will now be seen in you in a new way. You will display your colorful power to the demonic realm that has held you captive.
Arise, shine and radiate. I am filling the boundaries of My inheritance with glory. You will hear a new call. I am revealing some places where My inheritance is not filled with glory, and curses are in operation. To enlarge your sphere, I will have to overtake those places. Procrastination, not making the most of My time, is a great competitor of My purposes. This is competing with you wearing the prosperity I have for you now and in days ahead.
Infirmity is working against the strength of My people. Rise up, awaken the dawn, shake out the evil workers, put your hand to the plow and advance in the field that I am setting before you. New passion is coming alive in you…Arise and awaken to My passion and strength."
3-Day Prayer Focus: Wear New Passion!
Day 1: Read Genesis 37, Psalm 104, Ephesians 3, (memorize verse 10), and 1 Peter 4. The manifold wisdom of God is like wearing Joseph's coat. Declare to the heavenlies that victory is rising up in you!
This is a time that we are awakening the day with sound. When you were doing the last prayer focus, I reminded you that the shout of the King was in you. That verse in Numbers 23 can also mean the shofar (trumpet) of the King! Some of you should blow the shofar during the 6 AM hour and declare that "The King is awakening the dawn!" His sound is in the earth and the earth will rejoice wherever your feet step!
If you are wavering in the place God is asking you to stand, ask Him to make you steadfast and unmovable. Declare that the wavering spirit will leave and all instability will go. Decree that where you are sensing instability, you will find your footing today. There is a spirit of confusion in the world that is in the political arena and also in God's Kingdom people.
Decree that steadfast footing is coming to God's people for their future; we will not go into the next seven years confused. Declare that we will not be confused over how to walk in the place that God is calling us to walk.
Day 2: Read Isaiah 26:1-3, Psalm 92, and Psalm 110. Thank Him that He is a Present Help in your time of need. I pray that you sense His presence and power in a new way. Exalt and praise Him! May the Lord be seated with you today. May you recognize the blessings that He has for you in heavenly places.
Decree that the power of confusion, that is working to keep you from breaking forth in your next supply line, will dissipate and be removed from your atmosphere. May you be anointed with fresh oil. May your gifts be stirred. May your faith grow. May the womb of the morning be impregnated by your prayers.
Here is what one of the House of Zion Pastors in Houston, Penny Jackson, just wrote about "Passion":
"Years ago I had just left a church after less than positive experiences, feeling hurt by various events that had happened. Who but God knows if things happened the way I perceived that they did. But I do know that I left still licking some wounds. I began visiting churches shortly thereafter, knowing that I didn't need to be on my own; I needed a church family. I found a church where I felt the Lord moving. I felt it was the one God was drawing me to, but I still couldn't get too excited about it.
"During this time period, (late 80's, early 90's) the Lord was using a series of conferences called 'Catch the Fire' to do just that - stir people up with a renewed passion for Him. People were excited. Some people were even painting their faces like Braveheart. Ring a bell?
"Some of my friends had already been to Catch the Fire meetings and really were excited about them, so I decided to attend one of these conferences in Dallas with a group of my Houston friends. I heard wonderful, anointed teaching. I saw people touched mightily by the Lord. I loved what I was observing, but I was having a hard time entering in.
"One day, during a time when the Spirit of the Lord had fallen mightily on the huge crowd, the Lord showed me a picture of a very low flame and said to me that my pilot light was low. In God's awesome way, He showed me in an instant what was going on with me and why. I knew my "flame" had been lowered by my recent church experience. I immediately explained to friends nearby and had them lay hands on me to increase the flame, and by the time the conference was over, I felt myself again. The flame was strong, and I was ready to go.
"In case you are young enough to have experienced only electric ovens, let me explain about pilot lights and gas ovens. The pilot light is a small flame that burns "eternally," ready to ignite when gas flow is allowed access to it. When the gas flows through, it hits the pilot light, a resounding "whoosh" comes forth, and the stovetop burner or oven is lit. However, if the pilot light goes out or grows so dim that it doesn't connect with the gas, no flame goes forth to the rest of the mechanism. In other words, nothing happens.
"I thank God that He has put us in a Body of Believers, for I remember how wonderful I felt after friends had laid hands and prayed for my restoration that day. My pilot light was soon bright and healthy, and I was able to enter in when the Holy Spirit "whooshed" through at the remainder of that conference. And I went back to Houston raring to go.
"David encouraged himself in the Lord. I have never known exactly what that meant for him, but I do know that we need to encourage ourselves in Him. When I returned to Houston, I knew enough not to be alone, that I needed fellowship to keep the flame strong. Isolation can put a damper on things for me, and truly I think it can for most of us. And I knew I needed to encourage myself by being used of Him because when I am not used, my flame flickers. For me, that flame that is strengthened by being needed and knowing that I am helping to make a difference.
"These times we are in are so challenging. Tales of economy are unsettling, the political arena is filled with backbiting, crime is on the rise, and weather patterns are disturbing. It would be easy to feel discouraged if we are not careful. BUT GOD! He has not changed nor is He daunted by what is going on. He is as passionately involved now as He ever was, and He needs us to be passionate as well. He needs our pilot lights in full flame.
"So how do we restore passion when our pilot lights are low? Well, I had to turn to others to get help initially. It wasn't easy to say I needed help, but I was just miserable feeling so unexcited about things that had once been so exciting to me. I am so glad I did. And I have already mentioned a couple of ways that kept my pilot light burning: ministering to others as we were intended to do and not letting myself get isolated. Conferences and anointed church services help.
"I feel there are even those in the Body who are pilot lights that cause the rest of us to 'whoosh' with passion and revelation. Those people can make a huge difference when times seem dark. In my life, Chuck has certainly been one of those. Encouraging one another helps us all keep going.
"After all, we are admonished to encourage one another all the more as the day approaches, and boy, does it seem to be approaching. Praise and worship, journaling, meditating…all of these will get our focus back where it belongs and not on the shifting world around us. And we will be focusing on a God who is passionate about His creation and passionate about us.
"This whole time I have tried to avoid using 'let your little light shine' in my 'pilot light' metaphor, and I almost made it, but now I find myself weakening here towards the end. We do need to be lights to shine in the darkness more than ever now, and we do need them in good shape to shine. I'm convinced that we will succeed for the Lord to the extent that we stand out from the rest of the world and offer something that the world doesn't.
"So ask the Lord if your pilot light is low. Let Him show you where you are. Let Him show you the path for the restoration of your passion. He is willing and able, and He needs us all to be "raring to go" in days ahead. Don't be afraid to ask.
Isn't that wonderful? I am asking the Lord to restore any lost passion. If you cannot sense the fire of God in you, I am decreeing that you feel the flame in you start to stir in a new way. Stir the flame and awaken your spirit with the dawn of the morning."
Day 3: Read Psalm 57, and Psalm 69! Take a tambourine or anything that you can strike to declare: "My heart is steadfast O God, I will sing and give praise. Awake my glory like the harp and the lute. Awake my glory!"
We loose steadfastness and firm footing. We decree that people will be more alert before they try to find their footing so they do not slip and trip as they may have in the past. Also read 2 Corinthians 7 and 9. Read Isaiah and ask the Lord to stir up His zeal in you!
Recently, Linda Heidler's foot fell asleep while she was having her quiet time. When she arose to walk, she had no feeling or control and she fell and tore her ligaments.
A Declaration: I speak to every place that has fallen asleep where the flow of His blood needs to be strong. I declare every place that has lost its strength because His Blood was inactive in us will come alive. I call for a new release of His Blood to go into every extremity of your body so that there is not a single place of weakness or infirmity.
(Lay your hands on any place in your body where you have fallen asleep and the blood is not flowing right and decree that it will come alive in a new way. Then decree this over the Body.)
I decree that the joints which cause God's people to connect and move in different ways will have a new blood flow until we all come to the unity of the faith.
I declare a disciplined mind so you are not pulled to the right or to the left but your mind and thoughts are steadfast on Him. Decree that your thoughts are coming in timing with His. (Some of you do not know how to grab hold of "flash thoughts" and words of knowledge and get them in God's timing.)
Father, I pray that every thought will come under Your power and authority and that the thoughts You are bringing in will be set in Your timing to cause our feet to walk in perfect timing.
Those things trying to "yank your chain" must let go! I declare your passion will come alive in Him!
Passion is linked with emotion and keeps us on fire to walk the path the Lord has ordained us. If you have stopped moving forward, I declare you will feel the WHOOSH of God right now!
Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce

Do Not Let Your Good Works Cease
Aug 14 2008 06:52AM
This word is submitted by nsa Aye James [overcomer24@yahoo.com]
My child, I am your Father, and I love you. I know your weakness,
your strength, what you can do, and what you cannot do. Your memoria
of sacrificial giving unto Me is always before Me as a remembrance.
I have said in My word, "let your labor of love not cease, for in due
season your reward will come." Never cease to be a blessing to your
generation by your good works. I will use them to remember you in the
days of your adversity.
What you do must bring glory to Me. Be like Dorcas; her good works
were remembered before Me. Likewise, may your good works also be a
remembrance before Me.
Then, when you walk through times of difficulty, I will use it to
elevate you to your next level. I am never too late in your situation,
for I dwell in eternity, I created time, so I will rewind time and
reverse situations to your work in your favor.
8 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / WALK WITH ME by Ras Robinson 8/14 on: Today at 06:03:05am
What the Lord Is Saying Today
August 14, 2008. I loved walking with my birth father. While a young child, He took me shopping with him and held my hand as we walked. My hand in his was so comforting to me and gave me great confidence. I felt safe from every harm. After becoming a young adult I began sensing the Holy Spirit’s leadership in my life. He showed what to do and not to do. Again, it was so comforting. Others who were with me would experience things that were never allowed to affect me. I felt so special and secure. With God’s help, I have sought to do that same thing for my children and grandchildren. The Lord says, walk with Me and live with Me step by step. You will love it.
Galatians 5:16 “But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God).” (AMP) Ras Robinson
August 14, 2008. You are feeling a little foggy and dull. This will pass soon and quickly don’t worry. You have been going through a difficult time, and you need some rest. Just keep going but go slowly and deliberately. Don’t stop and give in to your feelings. You are an overcomer. You have prayed and I have heard your prayer, now you need to rest in Me. Rest is one of My benefits and attributes. I bring rest to the weary and downhearted, or just when you have been real busy. I love you and know you have been aware that I directed and lifted you beyond yourself and events these past days.
Heb 4:9-11 “So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.” Bev Robinson
