3 Days to Remove the Veil of Hostility so Creativity & Order work in Harmony! |
|
Dear Friends,
When I was in Minnesota with Dutch Sheets last week, one of the points he communicated had to do with “being halted between two opinions.” The Hebrew word for halted means to limp, but can also mean to leap. This is the word pesach, the same word used for Passover. I knew the Lord was speaking this to all of us. We are at a key decisive time in our life, the history of this nation, and the rearranging of many things in our spiritual spheres throughout the world. The danger that we face in the midst of change is to be halted, caught between two opinions, or double minded over an issue. This is usually the result of an old emotion, wound, or mindset that we have not yet subdued by the Spirit of God. This creates a hostility in our mind to shift and change and embrace our future wholeheartedly. We either limp or leap! We must leave one dimension of captivity this year, and “Passover” into freedom to secure our future. Let’s LEAP into FREEDOM.
This prayer focus is to help you understand your mind and how it resists change. The Lord’s obedience to set His face like a flint removed the veil of hostility between God and mind. This victory gave us the ability to experientially enter into a freedom and fullness of His creative power working in our lives. In the Word of God, your mind is synonymous with your heart and also your (human) spirit. Therefore, the mind is more than just the information we have in our brain. Your mind is made up of your belief system, your actions (however pure they are), and your deep emotional memories that have resulted from your decisions (right or wrong) and others decisions toward you. Your environment affects the way you think. This has generational consequences. Your brain is the information processor that is linked with your nervous system that is categorizing the input that is coming into your life. “The pure in heart see God.” Therefore, I felt it was important for us to come into a new place of communion with God and gain new vision of His character and Being in the world. Let’s ask the Lord to redo our hearts, minds, and even transform our brains so we LEAP into this next season.
Robert Heidler and I recently taught the Issachar School course, “The Heavenly Realms: Worshiping in the Three Heavens.” The Lord began to move in a wonderful way. Falma Rufus, an incredible minister, prophetic singer, and intercessor, along with Leann Squier, one of the most gifted songwriters and prophetic psalmists I know, were assisting us. I began to teach on how David established the pattern of heaven and positioned the Ark of His Covenant. This was known as the David’s Tabernacle. In Amos 9, it is prophesied that David’s Tabernacle will be restored in generations to come. This prophecy was repeated in Acts 15, and then expanded in the book of Revelation. The interesting thing was that when David established his Tabernacle, he did not put a veil between the Ark and the people of God, as had been done in Moses’ Tabernacle. In David’s Tabernacle, they worshipped freely. The Tabernacle was a place of praise, worship, prayer, gaining prophetic strategy, and revelation for victory in war. David had seen into a heavenly realm and gained God’s pattern for the future, and replicated Heaven’s pattern in the earth realm.
While I was speaking, all of the sudden LeAnn began to experience an incredible move of God in her life. She saw (by the Spirit) a partition in her brain from front to back. This was like the glass of a car window that rolls down. This partition just dropped in her brain. All of a sudden, she felt her brain change and her heart rejoice. As she shared this, she knew it was a wall of hostility in her mind that had caused creativity (the right-side operation of the mind) and order (the predominant left-side linear operations of the brain) to be hostile and compete with each other.
The Corpus Callosum connects or divides the right and left spheres of your brain. This causes the brain to communicate back and forth properly. If the Corpus Callosum is damaged or not functioning correctly, you can have a “dissociative split brain” syndrome. The left side of the brain works with sequential analysis and logical interpretation. This side takes symbolic language and interprets the symbols to produce order. Language, mathematics, and reasoning are all predominant functions of the left side of the brain. Memory is stored in a language format. If your memories are filled with emotional wounds, this will prevent new order from coming forth.
If you have ever experienced failure in an area and not reconciled that loss, creativity in the right hemisphere will not be expressed properly so new order can be established. The right hemisphere operates holistically to gain vision and the overall picture of the environment that surrounds you. Visual/spatial skills work from the right side. Spiritually, a seer or prophet uses this side to “see” what God is seeing. Then one who interprets uses the left side of the brain to aid in understanding what is being communicated spatially. If you experience a trauma in your life, refuse forgiveness and grow bitter in spirit (your heart region), then your heart hardens and your brain parts will not communicate efficiently. Your emotions will become fragmented.
The left brain creates a grid, boundary, and layers of understanding. Amos 9 talks about layers. Wineskins form as structure is positioned and order is administrated. However, when a wineskin refuses new revelation and creativity, it begins a “brittle process” of hardening and becoming old. Therefore, as the right brain attempts to pour creative revelation into the left brain, the order of the left resists the new and becomes stagnant, constipated or locked down. To be “God’s peculiar people” in this age and generation, we must join together new creative revelation and then form the order for the future.
As LeAnn shared her experience, I was amazed. Overall, she is one of the most creative people I know. However, I had always noticed that she would love to have things well thought out and wanted things to be in perfect order before she would step out spiritually to deliver what the Lord was showing her. Even though she always obeyed the Lord and moved in spontaneous worship to deliver the “new song” of the Lord, she could feel the resistance within herself as she stepped out in faith.
She said that when this barrier broke, it was as if the competing forces of her mind reconciled immediately. This allowed her to begin a realm of processing revelation and information in a completely different form. She said, “Everything became clear!” She shared as if the two portions of her brain were no longer at war but came into a harmony and synchronization. When she taught her session, she was just incredible. She could see and communicate in a dimension of truth that she had never been able to express before. Truth and creativity came into a new harmonized context. This was what the Lord was talking to the woman at the well about. He told her that there would be a time when we would worship in Spirit and Truth. We are in that time. Since then, it is as if LeAnn is writing two or three songs a week. She communicated that the film or cloud lifted and the resistance lifted for order to be in place before she could receive creativity. As LeAnn shared, the wall between left and right hemispheres in your brain should be permeable. Creativity should be welcomed by order to create new order. Creativity should welcome boundaries so the expressed nature of God in us can be seen fully.
BOTH SIDES OF YOUR BRAIN SHOULD WORK PROPERLY. Yes, you will usually have one dominant sphere, but both spheres should efficiently associate creativity and order. The perfect will of God is for our mind to be ONE and stayed on Him. This is unity and releases the anointing.
These next three days ask the Lord to remove trauma, hostility and enmity to any revelation that the Lord has attempted to release to you. Break down fears that are preventing new creativity from being expressed. Worship in new ways. You will feel a desire rise up to worship. You will sense a new way that Holy Spirit is asking you to express yourself. You will see how you have been hostile to new ideas and new forms of worship. During these three days, we will be listening to the songs Expose Me, Run To You, and Free Us by LeAnn Squier. Another song to listen to is by John Dickson, “One More Time”, which gives you faith to shake off and go up again! You can go to www.gozradio.net to hear these songs or download them from the MP3 Store. The next three days this focus will help us with the concept of Awaken!
Day 1. Read Romans 6, 7, 8. Meditate on these scriptures. Read Romans 6 at the breaking of the day. Then read Romans 7 at lunch. In the evening, read Romans 8. Command any hidden resisting hostility in you to be EXPOSED.
Day 2. Read John 4. Memorize Isaiah 26:3. Ask the Lord to show you any hidden prejudices in you related to gender and race. The disciples with Jesus in Samaria had issues with him talking to a woman and a Samaritan. These were the leaders of the new wineskin. Jesus was dealing with old mindsets against prejudice and gender.
Day 3. Read Amos 9, Acts 15, and Psalm 47. Declare that you will see David’s Tabernacle being restored in your generation. Spend three minutes clapping your hands and shouting before the Lord! Thank Him that your atmosphere has changed.

Eagles Trip to the Most Northern Gate: Kotzebu, Alaska!
On Monday, July 28th, Robert and Linda Heidler will fly
to Alaska to join with Mary Glazier and other Native leaders for a meeting
in Kotzebue, Alaska. Kotzebue is one of the most important gates in
North America. The ancient land bridge from Siberia connected into North
America at the site that is now Kotzebue. All of the Western tribes
of North and South America came across through this land bridge. In addition,
the first missionaries to bring the gospel to Northwestern Alaska came in
through Kotzebue.
In the mid 1800's, God spoke to an Eskimo man named Menelek and told him that
people with pale skin would come and bring the message of the true God.
At this time the main religion of the Eskimos was shamanism. They were
ruled by curses and magic. Menelek was immune to their curses and so
his prediction about the people with pale skin was believed. When the
first missionaries came in 1898, the Eskimos recognized that they were the
ones Menelek had spoken of. Their message was believed and the whole
northwestern territory of Alaska turned to God. Their society was transformed
by the gospel because God had prepared the way by speaking to an Eskimo man.
Unfortunately the missionaries also told the Eskimos that God does not speak
to people anymore. They denied the very thing that had prepared
the way for the Gospel! Since that time the church has denied dreams,
visions and prophecy as being from God. The problem with that is that
the Eskimos are some of the most prophetically gifted people in the world.
At the Global Harvest conference in Seattle in June, Chuck told Mary that
since this is the year of gates, it would be good to go to this northern gate
of our continent. Our purpose in this trip is to repent to these Native leaders
on behalf of the white church for not recognizing and affirming their prophetic
gifting and to release them to exercise their gifts to enlarge the kingdom
of God in their territory. From the place where the gospel first came
to Northwest Alaska, we will welcome the Holy Spirit and all of His gifts.
We believe there will be a new release of transformation in Alaska by the
power of the Holy Spirit, and that this will flow down into the lower 48 States.
Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce

Releasing the Sounds of Heaven on Earth by Jim Hodges
| |
|
|
It is time to bring worship to a new level – not simply introduce a new style, but to actually tap into the worship of heaven. Looking into the Word of God, especially the book of Revelation, Hodges helps unpack the heavenly model of worship. Allow Releasing the Sounds of Heaven on Earth to move you from the earth realm into the heavenlies and the pattern that we must display in the Church for the future. ($8) |
