A
Very Narrow Way Beginning Next Week!
What is Freedom? Chuck Pierce and
Jim Hodges this Sunday |

July 3, 2009
Dear Passionate Ones:
I bless you and thank God for you. This Sunday I look forward to encouraging
you to “Be Freer!” Also, don’t forget to sign up for the next Zebulun School
class on Monday night (see below). The prayer meetings this past week were
more like “Visitation Meetings!” You can view a portion of the prophecy from
Tuesday by going to www.gloryofzion.org
and selecting the video icon on the bottom left corner of the homepage.
At Early Morning Prayer I began to prophesy about
a very narrow way coming for us. Next week I will write about a time of fasting.
When Norma Sarvis listened to the prayer time in Israel, she was amazed. She
wrote the following:
“In traditional Judaism the
time period between the 17th of Tammuz and the 9th of
Av is called ‘bein ha Metzarim’ which is translated between the narrow places
or dire straits. It comes from Lamentations 1:3: ‘Amidst affliction
and harsh labor, Judah has gone into exile. She dwells among the nations;
she finds no resting place. All who pursue her have overtaken her IN
THE MIDST OF HER DISTRESS’. This phrase IN THE MIDST OF HER DISTRESS
can also be translated ‘between the straits or narrow places’. It is
traditionally a 3 week mourning period in Judaism commemorating the breaching
of the walls of Jerusalem on the 17th of Tammuz and the destruction
of the Temple on the 9th of Av. It is a time of mourning
with no weddings occurring during this season along with other mourning traditions.
As I was praying this morning for the word which came forth on Tuesday morning
about walking in the narrow places so we can go higher I realized that the
17th of Tammuz begins next week (July 9) and that even in Judaism
it is a ‘narrow’ place. We must watch that there are no breaches in
our walls during this season. We must walk in faith and not in fear
and grief. But just be aware of the narrow place and God’s goodness in the
narrow place.”
Here is a portion of the revelation that came
forth prophetically on Tuesday morning. We could hear the Lord saying:
“A new corridor is forming and I will narrow your way.
You must narrow your desires. I am sanctifying desires and narrowing
the corridor through which you will walk. You are entering into new
alignments and assignments, and coming into a place that will bring you forth
into a realm you have not known. You will come from a dark place into light,
but the corridor that you have been in is beginning to narrow to push you
through into the new.
“This is the day of ‘My Gideon’s call.’ There is a clarion,
Gideon call being released into the earth. It is urgent for My Gideon call
to be heard. There is a call coming now into the earth realm to separate
the desires of My people. My people’s desires have been muddled with
their own desires. In the next 3 months, I will begin to separate
the desires of My people so that they can follow Me. You started
out with My desire to get to a new place, but your desires from the past season
are coming up and you are being muddled in the call I am extending to you.
You must separate your desires, beginning now, so that I draw you out and
into that place.
“The teams and troops that I have will be narrowed down, for this will
be a narrowing time. The corridor is narrowing in the midst of this
sound. Listen! Listen carefully, for this clarion call is now being
extended and it will look like the days of Gideon. The anointing I will
release will be a Gideon anointing that will overtake the Midianites that
have robbed in the past seven years and stolen at the time of harvest.
“Know that there is a great separation that must take place to overthrow
the enemy ahead who has been coming in and taking away at an opportune time.
I must rearrange My people’s call so that their opportunity will be seen in
a different way. Hear, today, the clarion call and know that it
is a Gideon time upon My people. Heed the call and rise up today and enter
in through the corridor that is a narrow way. Many things will fall
to the left and to the right and even your body will change to get you through
these next three months so that you break into that place that I have for
you.”
To those of African descent!
“I brought you from the shores of Africa into this land to cause you to
rise up at this time. But now I say to the Africans that are in this
land, ‘I will cause you to hear the call of this land that I brought you
to. You have been longing to go back to father’s land and recoup
that loss and that fragment and that bitter hole that has been in you.
Now your call will come from this land. You will rise up and begin to
move in a way. You won’t move in a political realm like you thought,
but you will move from a heavenly realm that I have been waiting to extend
to you.’”
To those from Spain who have Spanish descent!
“Your call will rise up now. I meant for you to explore the
things of the Spirit in this land so an exploration would begin in you.
Therefore, the adventure that is deep within you will now awaken in a new
way. The prophetic call and passion in you will intermingle and produce
a new favor. I will cause the worship leadership gift in you to arise and
lead My people.”
Jim Hodges will be the guest minister in the Power of Use service this
Sunday at Glory of Zion (July 5)
I am looking forward to this Sunday at Glory of Zion. Keith Pierce will lead
the 8 AM corporate worship and intercession time. This will be followed
by our “Power of Lift” service at 9 AM. I will be ministering on “What

service when Apostle Jim Hodges will be ministering.

Monday night is our next Zebulun School class: “How to Succeed in A Season
of Rearranging Economic Structures!” I look forward to teaching on “Three
Phases of Success: Production, Development, and Stewardship Review!”
I will also discuss the 10 Financial Watch Issues that I see for July
through August 9. From an Issachar timing standpoint, the most dangerous
time to make our shift is the 17 days leading up to the 9th of
Av. (The 9th of Av begins at sunset, July 29.) You will shift
into a new phase of supply.
Our guest speaker will be Jerry Tuma. Many of you will remember Jerry
from our “Jumping in the River of Increase” Judah Weekend in
May. He is the President and Founder of Cornerstone Financial Services,
and has done daily and weekly programs discussing financial topics, investments,
and the economy for several decades. He will be sharing with us the 4
Key Components of Economic Rearrangement. This is so very necessary
for the next season.
For more information on The Zebulun School, go to www.gloryofzion.org
and select “The Zebulun School” tab, or call 1-888-965-1099
and ask for Rose. E-tickets are available on our MP3Store tab. The special registration rate for this class
is $35 (regularly $50). We begin at 7 PM (CDT) and will conclude
by 10 PM. If you are not able to join next Monday evening, then we will
offer this class by webcast “on demand” for a full month (from the night of
July 6 through July 31).
13 Going on 30
Next Friday night we will have our next “13 Going on 30” Meeting.
This is a dynamic gathering for the next generation led by Aaron and Tiffany
Smith, along with Joseph Pierce. Aaron shares,
“Greetings folksies...friends...family:
The Texas heater is revving up and after one whirlwind of a month ‘off’, we
are diving back into our 13-30 meeting. The theme for this month’s meeting
will be testimony. Our testimony is our trump card. It is our steadfast foothold,
when we seem to have nothing else. It is not subject to the argument of doctrine,
emotion or ambition. Testimony is what we are called to rehearse and be reminded
of because it encompasses our past, present and rapidly approaching future.
Finally, it is an instrument we are to use on each other (iron sharpens iron)
to build faith and encourage. Come join with us on July 10, armed with your
testimony, ready with your story, as we each add part and portion to the time
set aside for us to wait, watch, listen and let our voices be heard.
‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by
the word of their testimony…’ Rev 12:11 NKJV”
Fill your living room or dorm room with this rising generation and those
young at heart, and worship with this team Friday night at 7 PM. This gathering
will also be available by webcast.
Issachar School Begins on Tuesday, July 14
This is a month to establish the brilliance of our righteousness!
We are preparing to start our next course, “Shining Your Breastplate: Jehovah
Tsidkenu!” This course will meet on July 14, July 21 and July 28. The
cost per class is $15, and those of you who cannot attend onsite can purchase

KEY RESOURCES TO HELP LOOSE A NEW SOUND OF FREEDOM WITHIN YOU!
Descending
into Triumph
True worshippers are those who worship in Spirit and in truth. When we find
this place in Him, we find reality. Last year we released Freed to Enter the
Glory Realm. This year is a different year. We are coming to the end of
a season, and we must have a mentality of TRIUMPH. Descending in Triumph
is profound! The music that the Glory of Zion International Worship Team
has brought forth will amaze you. You have to “GO UP” to “GO FORTH” in TRIUMPH!
This collection has some awesome songs that will propel you into the sound
for the year ahead. “Sing Oh Barren One” (Hannah’s Song) by Tiffany &
Aaron Smith stirs your heart to break forth in song and break out of desolation.
“Strike the Doorpost,” led by John Dickson, is an incredible song that reminds
you that we can praise our way through every entry way or new gate that we
come to throughout the year. LeAnn Squier and Chad Foxworth remind us with
a new rendition of “Amazing Grace” that even though we’ve been through many
trials, His grace has always been there and will be there to keep us going
forth this year. Many other prophetic utterances and new songs will cause
your faith to come alive and give you new strength to move forward in 2009.

Freed
to Enter the Glory Realm
This CD by the Glory of Zion International Worship Team is a spontaneous expression
of heaven and earth. The sounds and releases captured here represent the
apostolic, prophetic stream we are moving in. This CD had no limitations
as we wove together new songs, prophetic declarations, nighttime prayer watches,
spontaneous releases and much more. I am so grateful for what the Lord is
allowing us to present to Him as a Pentecost Firstfruits offering with the
release of this CD. You will want to order Freed to Enter the Glory Realm
to help propel you in a new realm of freedom and increased momentum. Songs

of Everything, Your Law, Beauty for Ashes (spontaneous), Your Blood,
Rise Up Your Worshippers, Songs of the Ages (spontaneous), Heart of

(spontaneous), Dry Bones, Push to New Heights (spontaneous),
One More Time, and Called for this Moment (spontaneous). Special
Price: $14 (regularly $15).
Letting
Go by LeAnn Squier
There is a sound in the Throne of Heaven that calls to us in the Earth to
let go and worship. One of our most difficult calls in life
is to LET GO and LET GOD. LeAnn Squier has captured that sound of
release. Letting Go is one of the most beautiful expressions of freedom
and joy that I have ever heard. Imagine yourself floating through space or
walking on water. This Gospel Music Association
award winner for Songwriter of the Year helps
to bring Heaven's expression into your living room, car, bedroom, office and
heart. The songs and sounds on this project are a must to help us lose
control of our desire and experience HIS desire for us. We invite you to enter
in with One Magnificent Song, let your heart be exposed,
let the thoughts of your mind be released, and let your hands be raised in
surrender to the King of all kings. The special sound that has been achieved
on Blackbird expresses the cry of a nation for freedom. This song,
written by the Beatles about the cry of a young Black girl for freedom
in the 1960's, was chosen by LeAnn well before this election season.
The prophetic dimension of this compilation of songs for this time surpasses
most worship expressions in this day and hour. Savor the sound of Letting
GO! Special Price: $14 (regularly $16).
