Dear Victorious Worshippers:

In this fourth year of the seven-year war cycle, this is a year to bring God's victorious sound from heaven into our atmospheres.  How we establish an atmosphere of victory around us sets our course for the next three years.  This is a season of victorious sound that will break old cycles, cause us to advance, and enlarge and define our boundaries for days ahead.

What is VIOLENT PRAISE? 
I am getting several questions about Violent Praise!  Violence means vehement, forcible, or destructive action, often involving infringement, outrage, or assault.  Matthew 11:12-13 says, "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force."
      In the phrase, "the kingdom of heaven suffers violence," a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought for with the most ardent zeal and the most intense exertion. The NIV reads, "The kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it."  There is a sound and expression that will help you attain God's best and wrest all of what God has for you from the enemy's hands.

Praise comes from a Latin word meaning "value" or “price." To give praise to God is to proclaim His merit or worth in every situation that we find ourselves encountering. You can shout "Glory!"  You can release blessing! Your heart can express thanksgiving! 
      This is the year of Samehk Hei which embodies the expression of "hallelujah" or "Praise the Lord."  In other words, this is a year that we must bring praise and the acknowledgement of God into every circumstance of our life.  If we do this, God will enthrone Himself in the midst of our circumstances, and He will take on any strategy the enemy is using to bind, block and captivate us.  This is a time to remove the enemy's upper hand from controlling our inheritance.    

Praise includes offering of sacrifices (Lev. 7:13), physical movement (2 Sam. 6:14), silence and meditation (Ps. 77:11-12), testimony (Ps. 66:16), prayer (Phil. 4:6), and a holy life (1 Pet. 1:3-9).  Each one of these expressions can become violent when you are determined to advance in God's Kingdom plan. 
      Praise is linked to music, both instrumental (Ps. 150:3-5) and vocal. Praise includes spontaneous outbursts of thanksgiving for some redemptive act of God (Ex. 15; Judg. 5; 1 Sam. 2; Luke 1:46-55, 67-79).  Praise also includes formal psalms and hymns adapted for corporate worship (2 Chron. 29:30) and church (Col. 3:16).  Praise should be a heart expression and not an outward show (Matt. 15:8).

This is not a season for the Body of Christ to be passive. 
Here are some great examples where the Israelites expressed violent praise: 

Don't worry about what to say - just let your heart respond to God for He IS Worthy!  Psalm 81:10 says, "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it."

The restoration of David’s Tabernacle is advancing in the earth realm in this generation.  You should read Amos 9 as well as Acts 15, and then the book of Revelation.  One expresses prophetically, another expresses historically, and the latter reveals to us the present expression of the war in the heavens.
      When you read more closely, you see how we, as God's army in the earth, will co-labor with the Host of Heaven to express a Holy God's overcoming power throughout the nations of the earth. This will unlock a global harvest. Your violent praise is preparing a storehouse for Kingdom harvest.  

As you Praise "violently", you are releasing the Roar of the Lord that has been held captive in God's people.  Let me explain the "Roar of the Lord."  God's sound permeates from heaven and orders much of what goes on in the earthly realm. When He is ready to bring restoration to Earth, He releases His sound. Judah goes first!  Judah roars!  The roar of God is within us.  Judah means praise Yahweh.
      Do not resist the major shift that is recreating the way we worship and acknowledge God corporately. Yahweh signifies the God of covenant. This is a time when God values our worship. Also, this is a time when we begin to value the covenant that He has allowed us to enter into with Him. What a price He paid to give us access to the throne room. Our worship will take on great covenant significance at this time. Our worship will release great blessings into the earthly realm. The redeemed of the Lord will say "SO".
      This is a time when the burning bush, "I AM," type of worship is coming into the midst of God's people. This is going to release a deliverance call across Earth.  When the ROAR of the Lord goes forth a prophetic mantle falls (Amos 3). Let the Roar of the Lord loose that is deep within you.  This will enable you to hear clearly for your future.  There will be an anointing to open your "ears."  You will sense the Lord break hidden grief that has kept your joy capped.  Shout "Glory!"  Release blessings! Express thanksgiving! 

Declare Victory Seven Times!
Declare victory completely in your thought processes.  Allow the Lord to draw out old desires.  He will remove some and activate others.  Your thought-life can be revolutionized during this time. Stick close to the Lord and develop a prayer shield around you. 
      This is a month for a new level of discernment to be released.  Stay in the Word and pray in the spirit.  The Lord will uncover some key issues related to the blood of Jesus, the glory, and physical healing.  Celebrate and you will break through the "blood barrier" of old thought processes. 
      Death strategies and assignments will break. No longer do you have to be hung between two opinions.  Break double-mindedness.  Bring your faults, failures and everything about you into the Throne Room. This will be a time to push forward quickly through intersections. 
      Memorize Psalms 127 and 121.  He will make Himself available in night-seasons through dreams and visions.  He will be very near those who seek Him while He is near.  Expect abundant grace and mercy to be poured out and watch transformation occur.

In seeing what has happened in England over the last month, we must remember that the United States has a very strong covenant with God.  This antagonizes the anti-Christ forces in the earth realm.  The enemy is plotting and planning to bring terror and destruction that will cause God's people to retreat. 
      He would love to terrorize us to keep us out of subways, airplanes, malls and so on.  I do not see that smaller cities in our nation are more exempt than the larger cities in our nation.  But God!  He has a violent praising people that are more violent than the enemy.  Every where you walk from this day forward release an atmosphere of praise that will defeat the enemy!   

Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce
