Dear Friends and Intercessors:
I felt I had to write today. This is more personal than I normally write, but I felt I needed a little extra prayer in the personal arena. I am finishing the 40 Day Prayer Focus tomorrow. Many others started later, and will continue into May. I am asking the Lord for our next focus. So many incredible testimonies have come in. The Lord began to speak to me for you Sunday and Tuesday morning in our early prayer time. I have included that prophetic word at the end.
50-STATE TOUR: Dutch Sheets and I just finished the 50-STATE Tour meetings in Wyoming and Montana. They were both incredible. The Governor of Montana attended the meeting in Billings. We lack the following states in the 50-STATE Tour: Hawaii, North Dakota, South Dakota, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, West Virginia, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania. Your prayers and giving have sustained us to accomplish this. Continue to pray for us to have grace, perseverance and revelation as we complete this assignment from the Lord. You can look at my detailed schedule at the end of this letter.
FAMILY and PAM’S GRADUATION: I am leaving Montana now to meet Pam, my children (all 6), friends and family in Oklahoma City. Pam graduates tomorrow! I really admire her in all she does. I also admire her for completing something she began so long ago. She will be graduating from the Graduate School of Southwestern College in Oklahoma City. She will remain there through Thursday to finish her last course and paper. Brian, Marty Cassady and I will fly from there to Washington DC for the National Day of Prayer Conference sponsored by Pastors Dennis and Donna Pisani in Washington DC. Please pray for my family next week as we will all be in separate places accomplishing God’s will. John Mark will graduate at the end of May, and even though Isaac and Ethan don’t like it, they will start their next two courses. Rebekah is writing and working part time at the office for me.
VISAS for UKRAINE: I do have one major prayer concern. As you know, the next Eagles of God trip is on the horizon.
| May 9–10 | Travel to Kiev, Ukraine | |
| May 11-12 | Former USSR Apostolic Summit with Sunday Adelijah; Kiev, Ukraine | |
| May 13–15 | Stuttgart, Germany with Sharon Stone | |
| May 15-16 | Birmingham, England with Sharon Stone | |
| May 17–18 | Santiago de Compostela, Spain | |
| May 18 | Fly home from Madrid, Spain |
We have one major problem; our visas have not been granted to enter Kiev. We have trusted this into God’s hands. I have a team of 7 accompanying me. Peter Wagner and John Kelly will meet us there. John Kelly and Marty Cassady have their visas. Peter, Brian, Ginny Marks, Linda Heidler and I do not have our visas. John and Sheryl Price and Diane Buker’s visas are pending. Please pray for all of us. If you feel led to give to this trip and the continuing work in the 40/70 Window you can do so on our website (www.glory-of-zion.org). We are going to Santiago de Compostela to pave the way for our worship gathering in August. We will be meeting with leaders and officials. Some of you perhaps will want to go with me on my next trip to Santiago de Compostela in August. We will go there and to San Marino. Please let me know if you are interested in being on this team.
A PROPHETIC WORD FOR YOU:
“Have I not said to you that this will be a year that you will break out of that which wearied you. This will be a year that you will begin to compete with the horses and run the race with new strength. I will give you strategies to overthrow the enemy that has surrounded you. These will be new strategies. You will have insight that you have never had before. Be still and receive revelation from Me. I am beginning to accelerate events and relationships around you. The enemy would love for you to remain with your feet deep within the mire that has stopped you from moving forward. The enemy would love for you to remain eating from the pig trough instead of sitting at Father’s table. However, I am calling you to leave that place of lack and enter into a banquet mentality.
I am calling you to shake the mud of the past from your feet and allow Me to cause you to rise up in a new way. I am causing your feet to be liberated. I’m causing you to be able to run in a new way, for even in this coming week there will be an acceleration; there will be a turn. You will begin to see the finish line of the race that you have been in. Finish that race! But do not remove yourself from the competition. Take a deep breath and get ready to run again. This is a time where you need to breathe, receive and move forward quickly. Receive My Spirit and My breath. Allow Me to refresh you. Let the Holy Spirit manifest in you in a new way. Allow His gifts to be activated in a new way to give you new insight to run.
Allow Me to remove things from your path. Do not stop running because you see obstacles you do not believe you can hurdle. Those hurdles will be removed if you keep moving. I am ready to do a new thing. Let go of your past this week! Let go of your past this week! Let go of your past this week! Do not look back but look forward to the next race and assignment. Even though you feel weary, I will burst forth within you and you will accelerate into the suddenlies I have prepared for you. Accelerate past the strategy of death that the enemy has put on your path. Do not allow the enemy to convince you that you cannot reach the finish line and run again. Break past and into that which is forming new and fresh for you. Watch the heavens shift and new windows or portals form over you. These portals will pour grace and strength from heaven for what is ahead. Declare the heavens above you to shift, so you are connected in the Throne Room in a new way.
Be not deceived. The enemy will attempt to counterfeit the ‘real’ that is forming before you. Worship in Spirit and in truth and you will discern fully the right door to go through. I am releasing a new measure of discernment. Be willing to step out into a new place of faith and watch me turn water into wine. Some of you will even rise above your circumstance and walk out on water, and instead of sinking you will remain buoyant because of a new faith level that is beginning to work in you.
Even though much confusion is around you and you do not seem to see clearly the enemy’s plan or even the finish line that I have set before you from the beginning of this adventure and season, keep moving and I will see to it that you go past the confusion.
The enemy would love to remove you from the wall. Find your place on the wall new and fresh. Review your assignment. Don’t be afraid to get on the edge. For though you feel like you are falling over, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Watch your new doors forming. Do not attempt to go back for you have attained a level of victory that you are not fully aware of. I have formed a beach head from your obedience so do not go backwards and be captured in an old season by the enemy.
Rise up! The higher you rise the farther the horizon line will be extended for your future. This will give you a new measure and sphere of authority. Your boundaries are changing for your future. I am giving you a new scope to pinpoint the way the enemy will move. Do not fear the movement of your enemy for you will see him in ways you have never seen him before. Remember, one small Word will fell him. Come up! Draw near to Me for I have a new seat of authority I have formed for you. Come up and receive your new mantle for this next season. Come up. I am waiting for you. Come up and receive the strength to move forward.”
I hope this word encourages you. Even though you perhaps are in a time of transition, you can move from one phase of transition into the next phase. This is similar to moving from a place of shutting doors into one where the new doors are forming on your behalf. Let me remind you that transition has three phases:
Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce

Restoring Your Shield of Faith by Chuck D. Pierce and Robert Heidler. This is a must book for this hour. Satan’s repeated attacks, using our own feelings of fear and doubt, can wear down our belief in the Lord’s power and goodness. False visions of God’s failure to keep His promises, news reports and feelings of self-pity are all venues Satan uses to undermine the most important part of our lives here on earth: faith. In Restoring Your Shield of Faith, you will learn to be an overcomer, fighting and winning the daily battles against Satan’s insidious objective. As your faith grows, doors of opportunity will swing open, asserting Christ’s promise to His followers that through faith, nothing is impossible! If the fiery darts of the enemy are quenched by the shield of faith, we must, then, understand this armor. The shield of faith is like a door! This is important for 2004! You can order your copy for $12.00 and we will cover the cost of shipping (US orders only).
NEW! The Harvest Series: Crossing Over CD by Glory of Zion International Worship ($6.00 and we pay the shipping – US orders only) I am doing something a little different with this music CD. This is the first of our Harvest Series of songs that God is bringing this year to get us ready to cross over into the Harvest. This CD is called “Crossing Over.” I am not including as many songs but rather the songs that the Lord is birthing or using in our prophetic prayer times at Glory of Zion International this year. This first CD in the series has three songs on it: March All Night, The Best is Yet Ahead, and Jump in the River. This CD causes our spirit to be stirred up so we are ready to move forward. We are now in the process of doing our next CD. This will be entitled I AM: Burn with Me. The next CD will have intimate worship songs that bring you into the Throne Room and exalt the Lord. Keep moving forward. Don’t stop. The best is yet ahead!
You can have both of these items for the special price of $15 and we pay the postage (US orders only).
Call (888) 965-1099 and use code NEWWIND to order. Or you may go to our website at www.glory-of-zion.org (MC and Visa only). Offers expire May 31, 2004.
