Trip Report from Copenhagen, Denmark and Gdansk, and Warsaw, Poland |
|
May 11, 2008
Dear Global Pray-ers:
Today is the Global Day of Prayer. Because of the Body of Christ crying out for the nations of the earth, Gods inheritance, this trip has been very important as we have co-labored with the nations of Europe. I hope you all got a feel of what was happening from the last portion of the trip report which covered Belfast, Northern Ireland, Burton-on-Trent, England, and Madrid, Spain. Since that report was spent we have now been to Copenhagen, Denmark, Gdansk, Poland, and Warsaw, Poland. We are at the airport getting ready for our last leg of the trip which takes us to Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine where we will participate in the Global Day of Prayer. They are expecting 12,000 and I am honored to be the main speaker of the program. This trip has been quite amazing.
Copenhagen, Denmark
This was the first time for any of the team members to be in Copenhagen, Denmark.
We were hosted by Asbjorn Kristiansen over the Forlaget Alstrup (House of
Publishing) and Jarle Tangstad, Pastor of The Pentecostal Church. This is
one of the largest churches in Copenhagen. A great crowd attended where the
Spirit of God moved tremendously. Two important issues: when God visited
me in 1983 He showed me the northern countries of Europe and their important
to the future of the nations and movement of God's plan in the earth. I had
visited Norway and Finland (where the Lord is moving), but not Denmark. This
fulfilled a moment as I released the prophetic call to Denmark over how they
must stand in the future. The pastor shared how things had been changing
for them over the last several months. He also acknowledged the timing for
our coming was quite miraculous. I gave them a word about the next three
years, and how this was a year of preparation, next year would be a year of
demonstration, and the third year a year of manifestation. After I shared
this, the pastor came before the crowd and announced how Reinhart Bonkhe had
just called and said he needed to come to that church since God wanted to
do something new in Denmark. He will be there in the next two weeks to stir
up an evangelistic anointing. The night ended with an amazing presence of
God. John Dickson led the congregation and the worship team in prophetic
singing. The Spirit of God manifested incredibly. Sharon Stone then moved
in Word of Knowledge with great healing power being released. So to answer
the famous question, Is there anything NEW in Denmark?, the answer is YES!
Gdansk, Poland
(Giving looses your next level of anointing
and authority!)
Poland is such an interesting nation. Most people do not realize that only
second to the United States that Poland developed a constitution. The power
of this constitution has always been short lived throughout Poland's history.
However, I believe it is the root of freedom that drives this people to withstand
the enemy's power to overcome them. The Tri-City region made up of Gdansk,
Gdynia and Sopo is the area of Poland's famous FIRST's .
World War II was initiated from this area. In late August, 1939, under the suspect pretense of an amiable courtesy visit, the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein dropped anchor in the channel off Westerplatte and on September 1, at exactly 04:45 local time, began its barrage of the Polish outpost with its superior 280 and 150mm guns. Thus began Germany's invasion of Poland, igniting the powder keg that would explode into World War II, and giving Gdansk's picturesque Westerplatte peninsula the unhappy distinction of being the site of the official start of Second World War. (www.gdansk-life.com/poland/battle-westerplatte) During this time, 50,000 citizens were expelled from their homes and their homes were assigned to German settlers. This was where the Solidarity Movement began, and the riots that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall broke loose in this region.
The meeting, hosted by Christ for the Nations, Poland: Directors, Dennis and Linda Sheehan, was actually in Gdynia where they rented a meeting room in the hotel. Again, this was packed with standing room only.
Sharon had asked the team to share. Diane Buker related how her grandmother was from Poland. When her Dad was born, her 4'11 grandmother had to push for him to be birthed because he weighed 22 pounds upon delivery. She shared how if her grandmother had not pushed, then her father would not have been born, she would not have been born, her children would not have been born, and her grandchildren would not have been born. Therefore she exhorted them to PUSH! When it is time to bring to birth, you come to a place where you must push. Diane felt like this was a year that Poland must push to bring to birth the future Kingdom plan of God.
This is also an area of sound. It is known for the display of musical ability from around the region. Therefore, the worship in the area has a very good sound. Aaron Smith shared how we had been working on a song about the dry bones and the sound that the bones carry. He then exhorted them to allow the sound within their bones to come forward.
The Spirit of God moved mightily. I preached on ending a season, receiving a new anointing, and going into your next increase. However, I began to encourage them of the necessity to pursue and push hard during this season. I spoke from 1 Samuel 30. This was the transitional chapter where David had to move into a new place of encouragement and seeking God. He then pursued and recovered all. After the recovery, he gave from the spoils to all of those who had blessed him along the way. This released his next anointing. We then entered in to worship through giving. However, I knew that we were to bring our offering to the Lord and then give it back to Poland. (Notice the picture below.) We next used the Spring Forward and Pomegranate Anointing Oils and anointed everyone there for their next phase of ministry. We decreed that new firsts in the Spirit would begin again. I heard the Lord says, POLAND IS A HARVEST NATION.
Warsaw, Poland
(Vibrant worship of the generaions
in Warsaw!)
There is few cities on earth with a history as devastating as Warsaw.
This city was 85% destroyed during WWII. The Ghetto of Warsaw was filled
with death and destruction of the Jewish people before they were sent to the
concentration camps. Russia liberated the city at the end of WWII only to
control the rebuilding phases and resources. When we got off the plane Sharon
went to teach a School of the Prophets and the team and I went to the historical
Ghetto region and Old City Center to pray. We dealt with several roots before
returning to prepare for the night service.
The gathering was quite amazing. The worship was incredible. The facility that they had rented for this gathering was packed out with more than four hundred people. Over 50 leaders from the Warsaw area were there. Pastor Andrew Stepanov, a young, modern pastor, facilitated the service. The dancing, the singing and the generations worshiping together was so very refreshing. We worshipped for two hours. Then I spoke on the five phases of transformation. The meeting turned from a worship/word gathering to a prayer meeting as we prayed through the phases and decreed that the next 27 months would be key for the future of Poland.
We are now flying in to Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. This city was one of the key nuclear testing sites in the Ukraine. During WWII, this city was also one of the major Jewish centers in Russia. Only 15 Jews lived through the annihilation time of WWII. The team and I are going there to pray for restoration of the generations.
Thank you for praying for us on this incredible journey. Also, to you who have given, money has been well invested. I will send a quick note when we return. Pray us home tomorrow (Monday) and Tuesday.
Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce
SPECIAL PENTECOST WEEKEND with BARBARA YODER and RAY HUGHES! (June
6-8)
We are fast approaching Pentecost. We have entered the
month of Iyar which is linked to the Issachar Anointing. This
is a month to better understand the secrets of the Lord and get in His perfect
timing. This is your connecting month that connects redemptions with giving.
This is called the VAV month of the Year of NEW BEGINNINGS! If you
move right in this month, the rest of the year connects properly. This is
the month of radiance, when light increases; watch Glory increasing around
you. This is the month of Natural Healing and a time to find new ways
for new strength to manifest. It is also when I AM God Your Healer
(Ex. 15:26) begins to manifest. This is a month to deal with the soul, so
your personality will really reflect the identity the Lord has destined for
you during this season. Let your conscience come alive in a new way to discern
right and wrong.
Don't forget this Pentecost time (50 Days from Passover)! June 6-8 will be our Pentecost Weekend. We will have Apostle Barbara Yoder and Ray Hughes as our guests. We would love for you to make your way to be with us, so sign up now for this gathering! Registration is $20 per person. Space is limited so register online at www.gloryofzion.org or call (888) 965-1099 or (940) 382-7231. Prophetic, Deliverance and Healing Ministry will be available.

p.s. John and Sheryl Price will be sharing on Five Levels of Miracles. Diane Buker will be releasing a battle axe anointing to push us into the future. Some of you need this anointing. You have many things in the birth canal of your future, and you need a new strength to press forward.
