California

Dear Steadfast Standing Warriors:

I hope each of you is travailing to prevail.  Pastor Dutch Sheets and I are finishing the “Heartland States” on our 50 State Tour. This week we have had meetings in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri.  We will lack 20 States after this.  I want to thank all of you who are participating in the 30 Day Ramadan Prayer Focus.  This Focus leads us through November 24.  I would also like to ask you to pray for California daily as you pray during the month of November. At the beginning of the year the Lord had me focus on the state of California.  In January I ministered in San Diego, Los Angeles, Camarillo, and Fresno.  In March I was in Pasadena and Bakersfield.  Then in early April I traveled to San Jose and Sacramento.  While in Sacramento, the Spirit of God had me lead the group gathered there to declare that the government of California would change by this Fall.  We saw this was a must for California to change. And now the fires!

These past two weeks I have found myself crying out for “MERCY!” on a daily basis. In September, we were at a conference in West Covina, California and Cindy Jacobs and I began to prophesy. Notice the Lord gives the “Fire ISSUE” and then very specifically says the winds will change beginning in November. Please read this word carefully and pray.  Intercede for those who have experienced trauma these past few weeks.  Pray for the change of wind.  Cry RESTORE!  Ask God to start a new season.

WORD FOR CALIFORNIA
Prophetic Word from Chuck Pierce

I would say to you, “The wind will come from the west. The wind will come from the west. You’re beginning a new season. It’s a season that will shake things throughout this nation. New wine is found in the cluster and I am about to cluster together those that are co-laboring throughout this state and I am going to form a new wineskin. What was and what even began but never got completed, I would release the wineskin in this state that would bring to completion that which was thwarted by the enemy. There will be a mega-fold anointing that will come. I would say to this state – you are hanging in the balance. You are hanging in the balance but I will send a wind to the west. This wind will begin to blow from November (2003) though January (2004).  And how you grab and how you catch the wind is how not only this state will begin to turn toward Me, but this nation will begin to turn.

There will be an adverse wind. The wind will bring great rain and there will be floods.  Don’t resist the floods or reject the floods for they are signs of what I am doing in your midst. They are signs of how the heavens are beginning to open and the atmosphere is beginning to change.  For the enemy has held this cosmic atmosphere in his hand to control a nation and even to control the Pacific realm. But I am changing this atmosphere, the west wind is coming, rain is coming. There will be slides and shiftings because it is going to be a sign of shifting things into place in this region.

IF YOU REJECT WHAT I AM DOING AT THIS TIME, I say the drought will get worse. As the drought gets worse locusts will come and darkness will overtake the area. So I say, watch for the winds that will begin in November (2003). Let them blow through January (2004) and let Me blow you into a whole new place where it is known that My glory is moving in the midst of this state. And then what never has been completed and brought to fullness will rise up.  Be filled by My Spirit, My Pneuma - and it will be known that My glory has come to California.”

Prophetic Word from Cindy Jacobs
The Lord says to California, “Not only will there be shaking, there will be a fire. But when you see this fire in a place and you know it’s judgment, particularly against the pornographic industry – you are going to know I am getting ready to bring a fire of the Holy Spirit. For I am coming with My visitation. I am coming.  Stir yourself up today and begin to understand that I am starting to move you in a new realm. You choose, you choose what you will believe. You choose what you will stand for.  You will see surely.  I will use you to help change and shift to transformation.”

Shake off that apathy.  Just shake it off.  Shake it off.  Wake up!  Wake up! Father, in the name of Jesus, I bind and break off that spirit of religion and that apathetic spirit, that slothful spirit – I bind it in Jesus’ name. I say to you, like Deborah said to Barak, Arise! Arise and take your land. No one else is going to shake it off for you. You’ve got to make a decision. You have got to decide – if no one else is going to see transformation, I will see it. If no one breaks through – if I have to fast, if I have to pray, if I have to get on my face and close myself off with God. I’m telling you what, this nation will not be changed unless we break that apathetic spirit. It will not change, it will not shift. California will not shift – that spirit of entertainment that we are in the middle of – that spirit of entertainment. But I tell you God says, “I Am the great I AM – you just shake it off you. Shake it off! You’ve got to make a decision tonight!”

And the Lord Says, “California arise! For you are coming to a place that you have never been before.  Satan has tried to abort your destiny many times.  But this time I am mingling the anointings from the generations together. I am beginning to marry those anointings. Look and see what I am going to do. For eye has not seen neither ear heard neither has entered in the heart of a man the things I have in store for you.  Though the enemy has come in like a flood, know this, you are in your day of breakthrough. You are in your day of turning. You are in your day of going to a place that you have longed for, for many days.  Grab hold of the governmental anointing that I am loosing. For I am going to put the government upon My shoulders.  Look and see, for I am going to deal with the state legislature of California. I am going to deal with their wickedness. Look and see because I am going to go from one legislator to another, to another. Do not think I do not see that they are going against the will of the people.  This day watch the state legislature shift.  And don’t think I don’t see what the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has done. For I am getting ready to judge the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.  The court of Heaven has declared and decreed: ‘Enough is enough!’”

Now pray for the change of wind and for the rains to come!

Blessings,

Key Resource to be Released - Important for this Time
Restoring Your Shield of Faith by Chuck D. Pierce and Robert Heidler
Sometimes it’s a battle to stay strong in our faith. Satan’s repeated attacks, using our own feelings of fear and doubt, can wear down our belief in the Lord’s power and goodness. False visions of God’s failure to keep His promises, news reports and feelings of self-pity are all venues Satan uses to undermine the most important part of our lives here on earth: faith.  In Restoring Your Shield of Faith, you will learn to be an overcomer, fighting and winning the daily battles against Satan’s insidious objective. As your faith grows, doors of opportunity will swing open, asserting Christ’s promise to His followers that through faith, nothing is impossible!  Equipped with the four keys to building faith—familiarity with the Word of God, praise and thankfulness in all situations, trust in Him and obedience to His leading—you’ll be able to lift up your shield of faith and enter into the fullness of God’s blessings!

Another Great Resource: Ministering Freedom, Deliverance Series
Ministering Freedom from Demonic Oppression ($10.00)
Ministering Freedom to the Emotionally Wounded ($10.00)
Ministering Freedom to the Sexually Broken ($10.00)
While most Christians believe that demons exist somewhere in the world, a relatively small number realize that demons can affect their daily lives.  Even fewer know how to effectively deal with one.  Because there is a need to understand this vital ministry, Doris Wagner has developed this useful series of books to help both the local church and the average Christian be equipped to effectively minister freedom from demonic oppression.  Each book has chapters from well known experts in the field of deliverance.  In Ministering Freedom from Demonic Oppression, learn how demons work in our lives, as well as practical advice for ministering deliverance.  In Ministering Freedom to the Emotionally Wounded, receive concrete keys to being set free from the cycle of wounding and demonization.  And in Ministering Freedom to the Sexually Broken, learn how Satan and his demonic forces take advantage of us through the open door of inordinate sexual activities or past traumatic sexual experiences to draw us further away from our God-given potential. 

You can order all three of these books for $25 and we will cover the postage (US orders only).
