Testimonies and Parables:
This week, the Lord gave me a picture of an old, dented, metal beer keg. The keg was sitting on a wooden bar stool, in the middle of a field. There were people everywhere. Obviously, a party was taking place (I have been hearing that old song...ain't no party like a Holy Ghost party).
Someone came and pushed a metal tap into the keg and instead of beer flowing out as expected....it was red wine. The wine was spilling everywhere and I was concerned about what to me was waste (the wine was spilling on the ground). I immediately began to look for vessels to put under the tap. I felt the Lord was saying tap in to what I am doing; get under the flow. Be living collection vessels ready to be poured out. (I looked up the word tap/ -tap = to pull out the plug; to make connection with ).
What stood out to me was that the outward appearance of the keg was no indication of what was inside! And God was not concerned with the mess.... The wine spilling out was in the field and spilling on the ground. He had vessels in place to collect what was being poured out. (I know there's more.... but that is the part I have for now.)

Last Sunday I was at my daughter's house and I was able to watch Glory of Zion on the web and show her everyone. She just invited me over for next Sunday to watch and to drink some tea. She does not go to church so this is a new thing. Not having a computer has opened a door.. My grandchild was dancing to the sounds.

I had to write and tell you all about a word that God spoke
to me this morning during my Bible study time.
He took me to Psalm 29 vs 3, especially, "The voice of the Lord is upon the
waters; the God of glory thunders: the Lord is upon many (great) waters."
With all the flooding and propheseys from Chuck I know the He was telling me
that he is healing the land and people these floods are effecting. I
couldn't believe it. I sat there and He just placed it upon my heart. I have
been praying for more revalation and this morning there it was!
Praise God!

I could almost write a small book about blessings I’ve received from listening to GOZradio. You may not always know what an impact you are having all over the country, even here in Interior Alaska. This week end as you were replaying Pam Pierce’s message on Testimony He added to my testomony. I am part of Zion aligned and had heard the message on the web cast when she first gave it. I have GOZ on nearly all the time when I am not at work or meetings. I have heard the replay of that message several times and have my favorite parts that I specially listen to when it comes on. This afternoon she was in the background and I was not really listening. Suddenly for some reason I started to really listen. There was one point that is so powerful I can’t believe I had not heard before. Holy Spirit highlighted about 2 sentences this afternoon and I am changed and equipped in a new way. This would not have occurred had I only heard the message one time. Thank you for being on the air! Tana W
Dear Chuck:
This past weekend in Seattle I gained much perspective on how many people from so many areas are connecting with us by webcast. Several people came up to me and said they recognized me as being a watch leader. They wanted to let us know how key it was for them to be able to connect through the web and to be praying with us. I also received a note from a team member’s friend in Tennessee. She stated the following, "Please know that what some of us are receiving via webcast is being utilized and is so effective in our lives, ministries, and the lands that God has us in."

Dear Chuck,
Your Email about "THE FLOODS" brings me hope and joy in the spirit.
I just learned and was concerned about the natural consequences of the Iowa
flooding two hours ago watching the Glenn Beck show. Then I went to my
computer and your Email about GOD bringing us to a place of humility spoke
to me.
"THE FLOODS" gives a positive spiritual context to the otherwise hopeless
economic shake-up shaping up quickly right before us.
I also often (several times a week) listen to the audio of your talk at the
Watchman Intercessor conference at CI in April at the passover time and it
brings me the same joy.

Dear Chuck,
As I was watching the web cast from Tuesday’s prayer meeting the people were praying over Europe and speaking that your trip was like a whirlwind touching the different countries. They began to call for the winds to blow from the West, South, North and East over the countries in order following your itinerary.
What I saw was the pattern of an electrocardiogram the straight line from the US to Western Europe beginning with Northern Ireland and England then south to Spain then North to Denmark and then east to Poland and Ukraine. It is as though you were the spiritual “paddles” of the machine restoring the heart's regular rhythmic beating where spiritually the heart of the people of these countries have developed arrhythmias, and other disorders and abnormal heart beats.

Blessings in the Lord,
I was recently at the "Opening the Gates of Revelation" conference in Middletown, OH. At this conference, Chuck spoke on the afternoon of Thursday, April 24th and at the conclusion of his message he prophesied over Ohio. In his prophecy, he mentioned that there would come an "unusual wind" to Ohio that would come from all four directions, north, south, east and west. This past weekend (on 5/11/08) there was a low pressure system that at one point centered itself directly over Ohio and caused a circular wind pattern over the State that created the exact conditions that Chuck prophesied. The winds in this storm were very powerful and you could see this effect demonstrated on the Weather Channel radar system where the circular motion of the wind and accompanying rain was moving from all four directions over the entire State of Ohio!
I also wanted to pass on something the Spirit revealed to me. I live in Knoxville, TN. About a year and half ago (fall of '06), Chuck came to Knoxville through the invitation of Mike McClung, Pastor of Lionheart Fellowship in Alcoa, TN. He was asked to speak at Thompson-Boling arena (the big basketball arena for Univ. of TN sports). The event was called "Fire in the Valley." The venue seats about 25,000 people but for the speaking engagement we only had about 500 to 1,000 in attendance. When Chuck took the microphone to speak he looked around at all the many empty orange seats in the arena and he said "You may all be looking around at a bunch of empty seats, but I look around and I see the harvest!" Little did Chuck know (in fact, none of us knew!) that a year and a half later, Franklin Graham would bring his evangelistic team to Knoxville on April 25-27, 2008 and they held the event in the same arena where Chuck spoke. There was reportedly about 1,000 conversions that took place during the Franklin Graham festival!! By the way, this same event (the Franklin Graham Festival) took place "coincidentally" at the same time that the Gates were being opened at the Middletown, OH conference!
Praise the Lord! We believe this is just the beginning of the Harvest here in Knoxville and the Gates are definitely being opened this year for miracles, signs and wonders in our Region! We are believing for the filling of Neyland Stadium (110,000 capacity!) with services like Lakeland, FL where healings and miracles are commonplace!
Grace & Peace

Around March 4, I was pressing into prayer and following Chuck Pierce's 40 Day Prophecy & Two Month Decree.
He said "Abrasive circumstances would increase and that God would show us how evil is working" ...that the Body would be accosted three times. In the midst of these Three Confrontations..."I will provoke My people to action. Prepare for a quick change. Lean not on your own understanding. Allow these next 40 days to be that which will change the atmosphere from one of a mesmerizing force to the power of God in your midst."
A little over a month ago, I experienced this prophecy first hand! I became very ill with the flu. I went to my family doctor and he thought that besides the flu, I was having possible kidney failure and ordered a CT scan. Instead, the CT scan showed that I had something really wrong in my uterus. They sent me in to see two specialists right away. After the second ultra sound, they did a D & C and told me that I had Stage 2 or 3 uterine cancer.
Chuck said "I will raise the abrasion...I will provoke my people to action. Prepare for a quick change." Many, many friends and family as well as our church had been supporting my husband and me in prayer. One week ago, they did a complete hysterectomy (thereby removing the tumor) and removal of some pelvic lymph nodes.
I am one of Peter and Doris' intercessors and a Wagner Leadership Institute (WLI) student. Two days after major surgery, I was able to convince my Oncologist/Surgeon to let me attend my WLI Graduation Ceremony.
Yesterday, my doctor phoned me to tell me, "You are cancer free!" He kept saying over and over again, "We must have caught it early!" That was all he could say! He is an unbeliever. He is so sure of the prognosis that he told me that I did not need any further treatment. No chemotherapy or radiation!
We have received a miracle! To God be the Glory!
Sincerely,
Keren S
I am 80 years old and haven't been with GOZ a long time (mostly webcast), but I have started taking Issachar School courses. Feedback from Sunday webcast is, "Yes Chuck, I have been feeling like God was turning my world upside down too this past week!" I have a testimony from last Wednesday. I was scheduled for a vitrectomy eye surgery that morning but God woke me up a little after midnight saying: "I did not intend for you to go through the pain (from surgery). This is man's way of fulfilling my promise (of healing eyes and ears - promised about 3 years ago).
I felt like Sarah and Abraham trying to have a promised son. I got up and prayed about it. I had to be sure it was from God. Then He gave me 3 questions I had to answer: Was I willing to believe Him that much to cancel the surgery; was I willing to go blind without the surgery (with surgery I could go blind also); and was I willing to face people who didn't agree with my decision. It took me until about 4:30, the time to get ready to go to the surgery center, but I yielded and said yes to the 3 questions. I also found scriptures to stand on: Prov 3:5-6, Ps 125:1, Ps 40:4, 2 Cor 5:7, etc.
I had to face the nurse who was adamant that I was going to have the surgery. Finally, I was released, went home and wrote the doctor (a Christian) about what God did that morning. God helped me write the letter, and I have been able to tell most of those who prayed for me without too much kickback. Then the next morning I found I could see a tiny bit out of the center of the eye that has/had macular degeneration, and the twinkling lights I would see when I would close the other eye (due to a membrane pulling on the retina) are gone. I believe this is because God honored my trust in Him and I know that His promises always come true so I am expecting Him to do more in the future. It was like I came to a gate and had to contend with satanic forces and won, and God carried me through the gate. Hallelujah! I love God!

I was praying to God about going to Glory of Zion to visit the Church because I just wanted to be part of
Glory of Zion. I just found out that I don't have to go their now, I could view Glory of Zion through the webcast. I was soooo happy. So I view last week 03/30/08 Sunday and this week Sunday 4/06/08. I live in Glen
Ellyn and the churches I went to left me still needing something more. I tuned in to Glory of Zion and after watching it my prophetic gift was really stirred. I usually have prophetic dreams and visions from the Lord, but after watching
in being connected to Glory of Zion all my other gifts were being stirred up and God brought me into a new place with Him. I'm getting exactly what God wants me to get through Glory of Zion and I'm going to keep watching through
the web cast. In I want to thank Chuck D. Pierce for allowing us to view the web cast. It is really a Blessing. I feel so connected in the spirit. I praise God for it. I'm not where I used to be, but where God is wanting me to
be. I've been upgraded in the spirit since I've been listen and tuning in to Glory of Zion. So, Thank You Chuck D. Pierce and all the staff members and the church. God Bless You All.....Shalom. Lena K
I have begun to leave GOZ Radio on all day. I trust Chuck and this body of believers so I delcared to the Lord that while I am gone and no one is home that the declarations and prophesies and messages given will apply to my home and family. I have noticed in two weeks time a change in my husband and my son. We are all believers but the spiritual changes in them and me are noticable. Thank you for this radio station and for being obedient to God.

On occasion, the Lord provides Glory of Zion International resources which we are able to share with those with specific needs. Below is a wonderful testimony from a recent gift:
March 13, 2008
Good Morning Chuck,
I have been in a great deal of prayer this week & I was prompted by Holy Spirit to write you. Linda sent a little 'Thank You' note to Thank You for the gift of the used Lexus and I am so grateful as well. However, I wanted to say Thanks for many more things as well. First of all, I am so thankful to the Lord for having brought us to Glory of Zion. It seems like we have been so revived in all areas of our lives, spirit, soul, & body. We feel like we did years ago, when we first came into the Spirit-filled life. The expectancy of the Supernatural presence of the Lord is so close like 24/7 again. I am so thankful for that. I know that those desert times always produce better things in us, but it is so much better to be close to Him and hear His voice again.
I do thank you for you constant obedience to hear His voice and proclaim His Word. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of Glory of Zion and your ministry. Last weekend was so wonderful for us. We seem to be getting back into the flow of moving in the Spirit again and able to absorb more. I know that we are not quite there yet, but will continue to press in to receive all we can from the Lord and be able to give out more as time progresses. Thanks for bringing these great anointed Ministers to speak into our lives.
Our hearts desire is to continue to grow, and help establish the Kingdom in any way we can. We do pray & intercede every day. We are not in the position yet to do watching, but we will eventually. Thanks again for the gift of the used car and all that you do for the Kingdom and God Bless you and all your family.
We love you,
Dale H.
Dear Co-Warriors,
The journaling class offered by the Women’s Ministry has been great! I start to see why Our Lord gave a precious sister a dream to invite me to be part of the class. My heart is full of gratitude. I praise the Lord for moving all of you to put together this class. I praise Him for the revelations He has given all of you who are teaching, leading, and serving in the class. I feel this is a KAIROS time for us to receive healing and restoration to leap into the new with our new identify in Christ.
Last night as I was reading my assignment: Psalm 34 and praying to God, I really feel that God is moving me into the new with an acelerating speed. As a little one in the body of Christ, I feel I need your prayer support during this critical time. Although I am still a single, spiritually I feel I am in labor right this season to give birth to something God has called me from years ago. More and more I felt the Lord is showing me again and again that the part needs the most labor is actually to restore my own identity in Christ. Right after the Starting the Year Off Right, I had scheduled a session with Linda and Anne. I was set free from some generational issues, not only from my family, but also from my land of China! Both Linda and Anne prophesied that God is raising me up for taking dominions for His Kingdom in China. Dear sisters, please support me in this labor process. I need you. Physically, I am a little tired, emotionally I am little exhausted, but spiritually I am ready to watch my Jerico fall and I am ready to pocess the promised Land - taking dominions for my Lord!
Please pray that
1. My true identity will blossom as I am free from the generational curses/iniquities and inner vows. I am embracing my identity in Christ. Let my identify in Christ reorder my days and hours.
2. Extra strength from the Holy Spirit for me in God's trimming process. The old cycle cannot keep me and God is giving me extra strength in moving into the new. In the name of Jesus, I silence the enemy and lift the reproaches.
3. There is no doubt that I have tasted and saw God is good to me. But my heart is so eager for my LORD HIMSELF. I want to see HIM and hear HIS voices! I want more of my LORD HIMSELF!
4. My heart is so eager to see His will be done and His Kingdom come in my life and though my life. I want to see the demonstration of Isaiah 61: 1-3 in me and through me.
I feel so blessed to be conneced to y'all at GOZ! You are so precious from the Lord! I build an altar to praise my Lord for His wonderful work through the journaling class for me and for many other sisters!
Love in Christ,
Lucy
This past Saturday I was doing some painting in my house and listening to a tape of Dr. Pierce speaking at Shekinah Christian Church in Ann Arbor, MI this past July. I had just experienced a little 'mishap' involving an electrical plug and I was standing there - still a little shaken - staring at the blackened wall when I heard Dr. Pierce say,"The Lord says, 'I AM ELECTRIFYING YOU TO PROFIT' ". WOW!!!"
Greetings,
Thank you for everything. We have enjoyed the fruit from everyone in Glory
of Zion. Last Tuesday my daughter and I watched the morning prayer, twice! It
was so powerful we had to watch it again. Afterwards during worship my daughter
received the gift of tongues. We laughed, we cried, she is 22 years old.
Blessings,

This is so awesome. I listened to the Early Morning Prayer on demand this afternoon...and Chuck talked about how we need to play a game of chess and do it until we win the game. I've never played Chess EVER! However, I found an easy chess game online in a Christian forum I belong to. So, after reading the rules, and losing the first game, I sort of had the hang of it. As it was prophetic, and I wasn't sure what to always do, I would pray for a strategy. Sometimes it was obvious, but other times I had to undo the move...and try again. Eventually, I captured the opponents Queen, and like Linda said this morning, I was able to move one of the pawns across the board...and ended up with two Queens. I lost one, but was able to quickly move another pawn across the board and to get another Queen. It wasn't long after that I was able to trap my opponent and had him on the run! Then suddenly, I made a move, not really knowing what I was doing and a sign popped up on the computer that said "CHECKMATE...YOU WIN". Whoooo hooo!
God is so good. Bless you all for your ministry. Being able to take part in these webcasts has made a tremendous difference in my life, and I in turn, am able to better impact others for the Kingdom!!!
Bless you,
Debbie S.
Last fall Robert asked us to ask the Lord for the miracle we wanted for Hanukkah. My miracle was for God to sell my house and pay my property taxes by 31Jan08 (my taxes and my house payment were going up on Feb 1st.)
I had several things to do to the house including getting it painted, fixing some things and I needed the money to do the repairs.
The Lord provided the money and then after Starting the Year Off Right I listed my house on Jan10. As soon as we listed it there was a swarm of people wanting to see it and by Jan12th I had the right, CASH, offer.
Well, yesterday, JAN31, I closed on my house and paid my property taxes (with 45 minutes to spare)...PTL. He is good.
Thank you for your prayers.
Blessings,
Rebecca R.
To my spiritual family at Glory of Zion - thank you so much for giving access by delayed webcast to the prayer meetings. When I watch and participate, in another country and different time zone, I am there with you receiving, flowing, being encouraged, enlarged and strengthened. And in it all, time, distance and an ocean of water no longer matters. I am home once again! Thank you for what you are sowing into my life and ultimately my nation.

I watched the early morning prayer webcast for the first
time today. What a blessing. It is like being there yourself. What a awesome time of prayer. God Bless You!

I am so happy to be a covenant partner and prayer partner with your ministry. The genuine love and concern this ministry offers to those it's connected with is truly a great blessing.
I want to share an unusual happening that occured on Mon Sept 24th. I watched the webcast of the Sunday service on the 23rd with Robert teaching about Yom Kippur. I followed his advice and had my time with the Lord to have him reveal anything in me that I didn't need to take into the New Year, even though I always have a readiness to be correctly aligned with the Lord.
On Monday morning, my spirit woke me up singing, "You have turned my mourning into dancing, you have turned my sorrow into joy". I knew there was a real shift into the "new" and it was time to move forward into what God has for me. I got up, spent time in the Word and then went for my morning walk with the Lord. When almost finished with the walk, I rounded a corner and was then attacked by two pit bull dogs that had escaped their yard through the gate being left open. I literally had to fight them off with no response to my loud cries for help. When I tried to get away, I took a hard fall on the asphalt and thought, "Now I'm dead. They're going to go for my neck and kill me". But amazingly, they stopped and returned to the backyard! Though bleeding and in much pain, I refused to allow trauma to attach itself to me as a result of this incident. I'm grateful that my injuries were pretty minor; the dogs never got a chance to bite me! Surely, God was with me!
I really don't focus on the enemy but sensed that this was his last ditch effort to keep me from moving forward. It didn't work. While I have been healing (and in tremendous pain) I kept in agreement that truly "He has turned my mourning into dancing..."
I didn't email a prayer request but knowing that I am in the prayers of this ministry has brought great comfort. Thank you for being one who still allows the body to "touch the hem of your garment".
My prayers are with you on this current trip.
Best regards,
Laura
God put this in my spirit just before Dutch's booksiging. I looked around my house and job and began cleaning and simplifying everything. It was so fun! I watched how I was moving form this word simplify to it making room for more.
A magazine ended up in our breakroom called, Simple, and it amazing and full of color and healing!
From this spark the books in the store got repositioned for greater sales and impact. My home became more functional as I got rid of excess and I had more joy. My fruit and vegetable fast went to the next level with wonderful recipes I was given for juicing. I received revelation on my diet and recipes in the future for a very healthy fresh diet and how to do it. This was all so very redeeming as I have a health background and have not been able to get it back on tract and suddenly in all snapped in place with even more. I shop mostly at Brookshire's and they have added alot of organic products and now spices and herbs of which I have been praying about and do not need to drive elsewhere as much..
I was then shown ways then I would be able to work on different ways obtaining finances for the future.
I am thankful for the word gave you gave through Pam’s dream. For me it has been life changing!

I am 82 yrs old, and I have had a teaching ministry in this county for 35 years. I enjoy your writings, and thought you might enjoy mine.
WHO DID IT ?
Who spoke? and it was done?
Just take one look at the sun.
Who gave us the moon?
And said, ”I’m coming soon.”
Who flung the stars into space?
Who saved us by His grace?
And who made the vast amounts of water,
That He named the sea.
He did so much for you and me.
Who made the sun to rule by day?
At night, the moon to light our way;
How beautiful are the stars that wink at you and me,
A closer look one day we will see.
More details of our maker above,
Who did all this with such great love.
A love that drove His son down to earth;
And, the whole world heard of this miraculous birth.
About a baby being born in Bethlehem,
Amid Angels rejoicing in the heavenly realm;
Oh God! The wondrous thought of you,
We wonder how anything so majestic could be true.
All of this is not the end of a beautiful story,
Jesus came down out of His glory;
Carried His own cross up Golgotha’s hill,
The memory of it all is with us still.
Such love never was exemplified in this way;
On the cross , Jesus had this to say;
Father , forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing,
But one day they will know, and understand,
And write my name in the sand.
A fish symbol will be the sign,
When their hearts with mine align.
Around the world they would go, to let all the people know.
What happened to them in an upper room,
. Their hearts swept clean with a heavenly broom.
All fear was removed, and sins of the past forgiven,
And now they are on their way to a place called Heaven.
Just a little while to do their labor,
Around the world and to their neighbor;
Time would soon reveal,
Of their intense fervency and zeal.
Well, we now have their deeds recorded,
How they loved not their lives unto death,
Why this great love they had found,
It caused them to turn the world upside down. A-men

Chuck,
The word you spoke of the open gate and the new gate were significant and I would like to talk to you at another time to communicate more about what the Lord is doing in that area but I wanted to send you some short testimonies to encourage you. Thank you for your clear sighted ministry and your faithfulness to the Lord. When you gave the sterling silver angel wings to Tracy at the East Coast Conference and you said that you felt like she might need them you were moving in the prophetic and little did we know how much important the angels wings that you spoke about would be in the days that followed. Three stories that affirm how His ministering flames of fire are active in this season and affirming the gift you gave to Tracy in this season of our lives.
My son Daniel is a combat medic in Iraq. Shortly after the East Coast Conference his humvee hit an IED and blew up. Three were critically wounded. One died. Daniel survived to care for the others. This is his latest e-mail with names, places and units removed as requested by the military. The Lord told Tracy that Daniel was going with an angelic host. Confirmed by prophetic words and vision and a clear reality.
Dad,
Yeah....thanks for the prayers. It's VERY scary getting blown up by an IED...but I didn't have time to really think about it until I got back to my trailer later that night. After it happened, my medical training took over and I did what I needed to do to get my guys safe and taken care of. My platoon leader was complaining of back pain. He was treated and released by the medics and doctors at the trauma room here. His driver was the most critically injured with major damage to his thighs and right arm. He was in critical condition when I got him here and when he was flown by medevac helo .. We were told later that he died of his wounds in surgery at 330am on Aug 8. Please pray for his family and his wife. The others in the vehicle, including myself were treated and released by the medics and doctors at the base. Please pray for all of us, that the mighty Warrior angels I have with me continue to keep us safe and that Holy Spirit will comfort us as we deal with the loss of a comrade and friend. We were given some time off...the rest of that night and the following day (8 Aug) to recover. We are back out on missions again tonight (Aug 9) and will continue until we are done and can come back home. Please keep all our families in prayer...for peace of mind for them. I know especially for wives. I called my wife to tell her and it was a good thing I did too! After she got off the phone with me, she received a call saying they had information that the vehicle I was in was hit but had NO information regarding my status. Please keep all our wives and families in prayer! Being a military spouse....is DEFINITELY the hardest job in the world! I have the utmost respect for all military spouses...especially mine!
Thanks again for your prayers! I will call as soon as I can!
Your son always with LOVE!
Daniel "DOC" Ruleman
The angelic is moving here in Washington DC as well. Maryann is on the worship team at The Gate. She works in another hospital with premature babies. She and her husband have been teaching a course called Come and See to help believers open their spiritual eyes to see in the spirit. At work a woman was giving work to a baby so premature that it’s lungs and heart had not had time to develop. The chances for survival in such cases are nearly negligible. The baby was born and in intensive care struggling to survive. Maryann called upon the Lord and upon His angelic warriors while standing in the room with this gift from God. Suddenly there were angelic warriors in the four corners of the room covering the room and filling it with the glory of the Lord. This little child began to break through and continues to thrive because of the life giving Holy Spirit.
One of the young women that had been attending the four week course on vision asked at one of the sessions what difference it made whether you could see Jesus or see in the spirit. Her attitude was simply So What? The following Sunday she was at the front of the service on the worship team. She decided to ask for her eyes to be opened. She saw Jesus come up behind a woman named Patricia who was clearly struggling. Jesus began to just stroke the woman’s cheek very tenderly. Later when she came to Patricia and told she had seen Jesus comforting and stroking her cheek Patricia said. “I could feel Him.” Patricia cleans the Healing Rooms, our house and the place where Chevy Chase Baptist church where The Gate meets. That Sunday she was weeping for her sister who suffers from epileptic seizures.
Jesus came to comfort her and then he used her to comfort her sister and to minister with the angels.
Her sister, although warned not to get pregnant, had gotten pregnant again. She longed to give birth but on two previous occasions the medicine she is required to take caused extreme deformities and the babies did not survive through pregnancy. She was told that pregnancy may even kill her but her heart was set on having a baby. She became pregnant again. Patricia and the entire family were upset. The doctors did a sonogram and the entire side of the baby was deformed and disfigured. The told her that if the baby survived and was born it would be a monster. Patricia was so made at her sister that when her sister went to the hospital to deliver she refused to go. Patricia is an incredibly generous person and is always giving of her time, energy and money. The Lord spoke to her and said, “Why would you give to so many others and then ignore your sister in this time of need?’” She went to the preparation room at the hospital and stood by her sister. The sister had a seizure and at the same time went into labor. Patricia stretched out her hands over her sister and saw and felt the wings of angel wrap around over her own. She saw angels in all four corners of the room as she prayed.
The sister went into the delivery room and a perfect baby girl was born. A short time later he doctor that had given such a dire diagnosis saw them with the baby wrapped and refused to even look into the blanket and when she did she declared this new life a miracle baby.
The angel wings you are distributing are a sign of what the Lord is doing in this season. At the beginning of the year He spoke to us at The Gate telling us that He would be training us to minister together with the angelic this year. We thank God for Holy Spirit and that the Father himself loves us because we lovve His son Jesus and we thank God that He has called us to advance the Kingdom of God.
We thank God for you. You have consistently spoken into our lives by affirming so many of the things God is speaking to us. Your gifts, like the angel wings, affirm what God is saying and doing.
Thank you.
David and Tracy at The Gate DC
On Tuesday, June 12, I was able to lease a beautiful new car, which I desperately needed for dependable transportation. My other car is a 1993 Saturn which I'm not sure how much longer I can depend on exclusively. Due to a previous bankruptcy and financial challenges, it's been difficult for me. Although I've been a tither since 1991 and a very generous giver, only recently (on May 18) did I give my first Firstfruits offering to the Lord, after hearing the Apostle Chuck Pierce discuss it and Dr. Robert Heidler's CD on Rosh Chodesh. I KNOW that the ease with which I was able to obtain that new car and the fact that I was able to obtain it at all is directly related to my giving the Firstfruits to the Lord. I am continuing to do so, not for the "stuff" but because I want to be in the position that God wants me to be in , in every area of my life. Thanks so much!!!!!!
Love,

I wanted to report on the First Fruits weekend we hosted in our home via the Web Cast. It was a great success. We had 7 people attend and have already heard back from them on how much they received from it and how convinent it was to attend this way.
I have rigged my big screen T.V. as a monitor for the computer and the picture is much better than I had hoped for. We keep as large a space as possible for worship,dance,ministry etc and the whole thing flows great.
I believe that the Lord has opened up a new wineskin in the web Cast. He has fashioned a new tool and a new weapon for the advancement of the Kingdom.
Because the web cast is "live" that life happening in the GOZ building translates right into the home where it is being sent.
The atmosphere is not one of "watching" a thing but rather one of participation, and impartation. It is really remarkable. We put a basket up by the T.V. and folks just walked up and gave spontaneous offerings just like we do in the big house. We shouted, danced, anointed, prayed, worshiped and sang. We also had the freedom to get a cup of coffee, eat some snacks and make ourselves at home during the teaching. Break times during the weekend were spent sharing insights, praying and fellowshipping over meals we had prepared.
It's important to encourage everyone to "engage"in what they are seeing and hearing and not take the attitude of spectators. So you have to lead by example. Just be careful not to get your flag caught up in the ceiling fan!
Please pass on all our thanks and appreciation for those who do all the technical work to bring this about. They are forerunners and we bless them.
And thank you Chuck and Robert and all the staff who are not afraid to embrace change and bring in new paradigms for how church is done. Bless you!

Awesome!!! These webcasts are beyond the beyond!
Picture this: We are in Paris...we organize and hold two passover seders for hundreds of people, then a mini-conference on the "Messianic Church Arising", then teach in the Messianic congregation, meet with unsaved Orthodox Jews, visit a potential appartment to rent, work on getting your book to the French translator, go to "Paque" services this Sunday, sit in a cafe with a glass of Sancerre watching people, take a long busride home and then collapse.
Then "CLICK!!!"...we are in Denton! We are at your resurrection services, the power points, the teaching, the anointed worship...ahhhhh...we are home....we receive luxurious filling....and when you address the webcam viewers, there we are in Paris, drinking it all in. THANK YOU for the webcasts!
Hey, maybe we'll buy a 60" HDTV screen and invite folks to GOZ-Paris! Hag Sameach...we LOVE you!

Thank you for caring about us out here. The webcast are such a lifeline. I have been so blessed by the last 2 Sundays. It was as if you were speaking directly to me and Holy Spirit was through you. I have had a real Resurrection experience. God moved mightily on me the whole week of Passover and it all began with your message on April 1.
I will be joining in by webcast for the Firstfruits Gathering meetings. I was so Blessed on Sunday when you said that the season we are in is that God is dealing with the depths of our being. That is exactly where I am, I have thought I was loosing my mind, but now I know it is the season and God. Praise the Lord. I am dealing with soul issues, mine is emotions. I will come through, and I will take "my hill." I have prayed that prayer of Caleb's so many times, but I am NOT going to quit, I will press through to VICTORY!!!!!
Again thank you. You are such a Blessing to all of us!!

Hello, this is Dwight from League City, Texas. We have been apart of GOZ since the first of the year. I just wanted to express my thanks for the vision that GOZ has seen in the marketplace.
We have been making some of the firstfruits and try to once a month come to Denton for church. We also participate in the webcasts on Sunday and Tuesday morning. Tell the people watching by webcast to participate not just watch. The "anointing" will fall in the room they are in, I know because it happens everytime with us. You can actually feel the impartation of what is going on in Denton. Of course this is not as good as being there.
You know as I was writing this down, my mind went to what the word talks about having a "host of witnessess looking down from Heaven." Well because of the webcast, you GOZ also have a "Host of witnessing and participating viewers looking in." WOW, I just got a glimpse of what the host of are doing, even though we can't see them just like you cannot see us, THEY ARE THERE, Hallelujah.
Just recently we have been seeking God on direction to move to another city and a job position with my company. It did not happen, yet. But what I wanted to express is the fact that nearly everytime I would question Holy Spirit on what and why, then Chuck or Robert would bring a word or message to confirm why. And then with the music cd's that the praise and worship team have put together, they would minister to my wife and I in song. Glory of Zion is truly the next step in the "revolution of the gospel". I have been taking the message of the Lord to the marketplace more now than I ever have, and I am finding favor to do that. Thank GOZ for being obedient.
So, Father in the name of Jesus, continue to prosper all the staff and volunteers of GOZ. Bless them in wisdom, time, and revolutionizing the gospel for your Kingdom. Bless GOZ Ministries.
