THE SECOND TERM

Triumph of Hope

President Bush's re-election gives the free world a second chance.

BY JOSE MARIA AZNAR
Sunday, November 7, 2004 12:01 a.m. EST 

Mr. Aznar is Spain's former prime minister.

Hope has triumphed.

I know that some may be surprised to read this, but I am convinced of the fact.

Hope has triumphed, and with it the confidence of the American people in the values and principles on which our shared civilization on both sides of the Atlantic is based. George W. Bush decided to respond to totalitarian terrorist attacks with a return to basic principles. He could have chosen appeasement. He could have opted for mere rhetoric. He decided not to do so. He decided to oppose brutality with steadfast conviction. Now a wide majority of his people has backed this policy. It has confirmed that there is hope in our way of life, a form of hope that derives its strength from its essential convictions, a hope that is manifested in the desire to defend freedom above all else.

Many took for granted that Mr. Bush would be defeated. They were wrong. The mistake committed by those who create caricatures is that they believe that normal people are going to substitute reality with caricature. The American people have decided that the best option is to offer a new mandate to Mr. Bush. If not, the achievement of these elections would be inexplicable: an extensive margin between the two candidates, in favor of President Bush, in favor of the popular vote; an increase in the number of his senators; a comfortable majority in the House of Representatives. Mr. Bush has managed to consolidate a movement that has been emerging for some years. He has managed to consolidate a natural conservative majority in his country.

George W. Bush has not only had to face the enemies of democracy but also stand up to a front of rejection made up of various different groups, a veritable negative coalition whose only unifying principle was to ensure that he was defeated. Some observers believed that the majority would now pronounce itself to be against the decision to go to Afghanistan and Iraq in order to prevent the terrorist threat from rising. The temptation of comfort and convenience is a powerful one. Our democracies are not especially well prepared for the idea that they are under threat. They are not well prepared to combat an enemy that is as diffuse as it is daring and lethal.

Following the atrocities of September 11, President Bush did not allow himself to be swept away by an understandable sense of rage. I know him well and I know what I am talking about. Afghanistan was a strategic objective in the war on terror, not an act of vengeance. Iraq has served the same purpose.

Mr. Bush's international strategy includes an active policy in favor of peace throughout the most dangerous region on Earth: the Middle East. He has promoted greater political openness and economic liberalization, not to mention values such as religious respect and tolerance. The status quo of a region that has become a hotbed for terrorists and fanatics is no longer acceptable. Far-reaching change is required. And this is what he is pursuing with his initiative for the Greater Middle East. I would say that it is the only option and hope for millions of human beings who are today lost in a climate of desperation and hatred. It is also the only option for our long-term security. This entire policy has been widely backed by the American people.

I believe that Mr. Bush's re-election ushers in a period of hope for the international community. Leaders all around the world can also play their part in defending our democracies and way of life. We have another four years before us, and Western leaders can now join the allied effort to build a safer and freer world. It is true, primitive anti-American feeling and unfounded hostility will make things more difficult for those leaders who have flirted with these tendencies. But the world is now presented with a clear opportunity.

Over the last few months we have witnessed numerous attempts to introduce and exploit issues that have the greatest capacity to create divisions. Power has been abused, and a damaging sense of polarization has set in. Hatred has been promoted in the place of understanding. Unity has been replaced with division. It is comforting to see that this strategy has simply mobilized many more millions of Americans, millions of Americans who went to the polls in order to do exactly the opposite. They have voted for a policy based on principles. They have voted for a sincere policy, for a leadership based on convictions. This policy does not shy away from unpleasant realities, but faces up to them, because it knows that this is the only way of overcoming them. This is the lesson that we can all learn: Attempts to create division can be opposed with a policy based on principles. And this policy can be a triumphant one.

 Dear Intercessory Prayer Warriors:

 RE:  Roe v. Wade Goes Back to Supreme Court!

           We are at the point of filing a petition in the United States Supreme Court in our legal effort to overturn Roe v. Wade.  We need your assistance now as prayer warriors in this historic effort.  We need desperate, prevailing prayer support and we are asking that you send an e-mail under your signature with the prayer requests below to your prayer network.

           We humbly acknowledge that it is God who is going to bring the victory.  We have personally seen how God has been working through this process and we are awed and humbled by it.  We were given the promise of Isaiah 28:14-22 and we believe that the covenant with death will be annulled.  But we are also very much aware that we are coming up against the covenant of death and that we will be facing many challenges simply because the case is at the Supreme Court level, thereby generating opposition. 

           By way of background, on October 18, 2004, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denied Norma McCorvey’s Rule 60 Motion which asked the Court to reverse the case based on changed factual and legal conditions that make Roe v. Wade no longer just.  Norma is the former “Roe” of Roe v. Wade. However, there were helpful parts of the decision in that: (1) the Court found that the district court had erred in denying the Motion simply based on time; and, (2) Judge Jones wrote a strong concurring opinion which has very helpful analysis for us by outlining problems with Roe such as constitutionalizing the issue of abortion, assessing our extensive evidence of 5,347 pages, and expressing her fervent hope that the Court will re-evaluate Roe.

 The Court has now placed us in a position to go to the United States Supreme Court and it is ultimately the Supreme Court that will have to decide the case.  We have 90 days to submit a petition for writ of certiorari which will be due by January 17th.  Our legal team is in the process of working on that petition.  But we need your prayer cover.

The prayer support of your intercessors is vitally important.  I urge you to send a cover note along with the prayer requests to your intercessors.  We are sending the prayer requests so that there will be unity among the intercessors.  Please send the e-mail today.

          Thank you for your faithful intercession.  This legal effort all begins and ends with prayer.  You are a vital part in this historic effort.

                                                          Sincerely,

                                                          Allan E. Parker, Jr.

President of The Justice Foundation and lead counsel

Prayer Alert!

Roe v. Wade Back to the U.S. Supreme Court

 Norma McCorvey, the former “Roe” of Roe v. Wade never had an abortion.  She worked in abortion clinics from approximately 1992 to 1995.  Her conscience began bothering her as she faced the harsh truth of abortion which is the destruction of women, children, men and families.  In 1995, she became a born-again Christian and later joined the Roman Catholic Church.  Now she has filed a Rule 60 Motion to vacate and reverse Roe v. Wade.  Represented by The Justice Foundation (www.operationoutcry.org), her Petition to the U.S. Supreme Court will be filed on or about January 17, 2005. 

 Her lawyers are working on the appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court until then, after which the Court will consider whether to hear the case.  This is the time for the whole body of Christ to unite in prayer for the end of the covenant with death that is Roe v. Wade.

 Please join us in praying for the following: 

1. The Lord’s direction, instruction, counsel, wisdom, provision, health and protection for The Justice Foundation, Norma McCorvey, Sandra Cano (the former “Doe” of Doe v. Bolton, Doe was Roe’s companion case which together allowed abortion on-demand and partial birth abortion), and their lawyers, staff, donors, volunteers and prayer supporters and all their families.

2. Confession (Psalm 51), repentance (especially led by President Bush and other national leaders) (Psalm 32), revival (II Chronicles 7:14), reconciliation and the end to the “covenant with death, the agreement with the grave” that is Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton.  Read and pray all the verses of Isaiah 28:14-22. 

3. Commit to fast as the Lord leads, and pray everyday until the very end, not just when the cases are filed, but until the decision is rendered publicly in writing and cannot be changed.  In 1992, the last time Roe was almost overturned, there were five votes to reverse Roe v. Wade after oral argument.  But one justice changed his vote before the opinion became public, and we have had 14 more years of legalized abortion on demand.

4. Pray that the justices will actually read the over 1000 affidavits of post-abortive women and other evidence filed in the case.  Pray that a spirit of justice will invade and embolden every justice of the Supreme Court (William H. Rehnquist, John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O’Connor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy, David Hackett Souter, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Stephen G. Breyer).

5. Pray that all men will come forward and exercise their spiritual authority by praying (between the hours of 5am and 7am by calling 1-641-497-7302, Access Code 399430#) especially for the end of legalized abortion, repent for their role in abortion and for their nation, their families, and those in authority, especially the courts.  Pray that women who have had abortions will repent, pray and speak the truth boldly, pray for proper relationships between men and women, and that youth will speak out with passion.  Pray for heartbreaking conviction and deep repentance for all Americans’ role in abortion.

6. Pray for unity in the body of Christ, and that all Christians would come together on this issue.  Pray for heartbreaking conviction and deep repentance for the church’s role in abortion and the boldness to offer forgiveness and healing for abortion.

   7.   That the Solicitor Generals, on behalf of the Texas and United States Government, would support
          Norma McCorvey’s position.

New Prophetic Trends Will NOW Emerge: A 10 Day Prayer Focus to Decree & Emerge into Your Promises Ahead!

By Dr. Chuck D. Pierce

 A SINCERE THANK YOU!

I want to thank each of you for standing, voting, and decreeing that this nation would reflect God’s righteous covenant. I want to thank all of you who attended the 50 State Tour meetings.  I want to thank all of you who have influence in various structures of society, as well as you who are hidden in your closet crying out day and night.  I want to thank those who took the keys of the kingdom and loosed heaven’s will into the earth. I want to thank each of you in advance for standing through the next four years of the war season that is ahead.

 AN EMERGING PROPHETIC GENERATION SANCTIFIED FOR WAR!

Much that has been hidden will now begin to EMERGE! The prophetic voice is going through a metamorphosis and getting ready to emerge.  Many have grown weary of a lack of integrity and immaturity in the prophetic.  However, I have seen the prophetic since 1986 being like a butterfly emerging out of a cocoon.  When the butterfly emerges there is great beauty.  A metamorphosized beauty is linked with holiness.  Psalm 96:9 says, “O, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.  Tremble before Him all the earth.”  God has been renewing the mind of the prophets and breaking their conformity to this world (Romans 12:1-2).  To be conformed means that your outer fashion and appearance is modeled or patterned after world lust.  God is removing the old garment from His prophets, transforming their minds and spirits, and preparing them to speak a clear word in season.  This is a generation that is arising that will enter into a holy clarity of God’s expression in the earth.

 We are entering a SEASON OF CRISIS.  At any midpoint, it’s crucial to continue pressing forward and not go backwards.  The Lord has a desire to raise up a generation to bring peace or wholeness into the earth realm.  However, this is a generation with a sword in their hand.  Many have resisted embracing the war aspect of this season.  This happened in Numbers 14 when it was time for a generation to enter into Canaan to establish themselves in God’s promised land.  Twelve spies went in.  Ten returned with a report of the promises being real in the land.  However, they were unwilling to go to war for those promises.    

Forty years later, we find the Lord sanctifying a generation that would cross over into the war and possess God’s promise.  We find the Lord developing a priesthood that would go before the people. We find the Captain of the Hosts meeting the leadership in a way to lead them past “their camps” and into His plan. We find a generation that was ready to BELIEVE and FOLLOW!  That same thing is happening now.  A generation is rising that is willing to believe, war and follow. 

 A FAITH-FILLED GENERATION IS EMERGING!

We have recently entered the Hebraic Year 5765.  This is the fourth year in a seven year war season that began in September 2001.  This is the year that many issues will come FULL CIRCLE!  Therefore, this is the year that a generation must emerge with great spiritual life.  This war is over the manifestation of covenant blessings in the earth realm.  A generation is rising to bring forth the next dimension of covenant blessings in the earth.  There seems to be ten emerging prophetic issues that we need to be concerned about this year.  To emerge means to rise forth and come into view, to become visible, apparent or known, or sudden unforeseen situations coming into full view that require immediate action. 

 A generation is always linked with the act or process of producing offspring.  A generation signifies a stage or degree in the succession of a person or a group of people who are aligned in experience, attitude, spiritual force or product development.  A generation signifies a stage that should produce the next level of improvement and quality.  In Biblical understanding, a generation is linked with a revolution of time, or a certain age or lifespan where something happens.  The Hebrew words for generation are doar and dur which mean to dwell or circle.  Therefore, a generation is not just linked with age but with a heart to enter into the fullness of God’s planned inheritance for this time frame. It is a people filled will faith and a different spirit that have a heart cry like Caleb who said, “I’ve waited forty years - give me my inheritance now.” It is a corporate army who is crying, “We will not go around that mountain again! We are ready to break old cycles and enter in!”

 In Matthew 24:6-7 the Lord told us, “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled.  For all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet” (emphasis added).  If “the end is not yet,” then we must rise up and enter into the “now” of God.  The end has connotations of finality.  Since we have not reached that final place where the culmination of all things has occurred, we must learn to operate in the now!  What we do now will determine our future.  Isaiah 46:9-10 says, “Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My Counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.’”  When we hear the word “war” we have thoughts of destruction, sorrow, grief, loss, conflict, and death.  However, the Lord says clearly, “See that you are not troubled.”  God is putting a peace in our hearts so a generation that is arising will go to war for all of God’s covenant promises.  This generation is not just people young of age, but a people with a heart filled with faith, aligned together to bring forth God’s plan.  There are many wars ahead:  wars over the changing of laws and times, wars over calling good evil, and evil good, wars of compromise, wars of religion wanting us to take a form but denying the power of God.  But God!  This is a generation who will declare, decree a thing, and watch God bring it forth in the earth. 

 DECLARING BY FAITH FOR CYCLES TO SHIFT NOW!!!!

When the Lord makes a declaration He already knows the end of the thing.  Recognize that you are on a path of life.  It is set before you.  You are urged to press along that path and endure that path until you reach the end.  There are big boulders and potholes in the way, and often times, the path needs to be cleared out before you can begin.  There may even be boulders all along the way.  However, our Father in Heaven is going to watch after you from the beginning of that path until the finish line because He already knows the end. 

With this reality we should never lose faith or hope along our path.  The real issue along the path is to have a reality of who God is and what His purpose is from the beginning until the end.  “I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last” (Rev 22:13).  This is simply a statement that says, “I AM.  I AM, and I can make you well able to accomplish My purpose here on the earth.” A verse that I want to remind you of is Jeremiah 33:3 from the Amplified: “Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).”  Let God show you things that you do not know so you can walk in victory.

 10 EMERGING PROPHETIC SHIFTS!

A 10 Day Prayer Focus to Decree & Emerge into your Promises Ahead!

1. A New Passion in God’s prophetic people to be holy and separated out of and unto His purposes.  Read Colossians 1.  Ask God to reveal any unholy, besetting sin within you that could affect your conscience and allow Satan’s seducing, condemning voice to speak subtly in your ear. Meditate on Joshua 1-3. Prepare yourself for victory.

2. New emerging strategies that will cause us to have the right word to change legal structures. This is where the real war over our nation lies. Read Acts 3-5.  Pray that the spirit of boldness begins to rest upon you.  Ask the Spirit of God to deal with all of your infirmities.  Ask the Lord to show you your place of involvement concerning legal structures in days ahead.  Read Colossians 2.  Ask God to remove any religious legalism you might be operating in.

3. New strategies concerning supply and the transference of wealth.  Read 1 Kings 17, 2 Kings 4, and Mark 12:41-44. Decree that the spirit of poverty will not speak and deceive you this year.  Ask God to show you how to multiply your resources.  Ask the Lord to give you favor with your creditors.  Ask the Lord to show you how to give.  Ask the Lord to break a spirit of greed or covetousness in your bloodline.

4. New warfare strategies of recovery and reversal of fortune.  Sit before the Lord and ask Him to give you the mind for recovery.  Last month we prayed 1 Samuel 30.  Re-read 1 Samuel 30:6-8.  Encourage yourself in the Lord.  Then read Jeremiah 30.  Ask the Lord to give you an understanding of the power of restoration.  Then pray Haggai 1-2.  Decree that all disinterest, disillusionment and discouragement will break from you.  Pray for every building project that God has put in your path – that includes ministries and your church as well as any physical building.  Ask God to unlock the silver and the gold. 

5. A new release of the seer anointing that will cause us to experience new dimensions of our covenant blessing.  Read Jeremiah 31-33.  Look very closely at the promises that are recorded with the new covenant.  Ask God for any distinct obedience that He would have you do to prepare you for the new.  Ask the Lord to open your eyes to mighty things that have been hidden to your understanding.

6. A new miracle mantle upon God’s people that produces signs, wonders and healings in the Body and the world around us.  Be overwhelmed and encompassed by His supernatural LOVE.  Read Colossians 3:1-17.  Pray in the Spirit for five minutes.  If you do not have a spiritual language then praise for five minutes.  Receive a release of compassion.  There will be great breakthroughs in the area of blood, the mind, and the endocrine system.  Read Hebrews 4 and 9.  Pray for everyone you know that has diseases related to the blood, mind or endocrine system.  Ask God to bring them in your path so you can lay hands on them.  Do not be afraid to lay your hands on the sick and pray for them this year.

7.  New prophetic declarations that will cause old cycles to be fully completed, and new administrative methods released.   Read Ezekiel 36-37.  Read Matthew 14.  Make a list of old cycles that have been hard to break.  Decree the opposite.

8. A new season of adventure.  This will not be a “safe” season spiritually.  You must be willing to step out by faith.  Read Hebrews 11.  Then choose one of the faith characters and read the history of how that person stepped out.  Ask God to give you faith to make a bold leap of faith this year.  This is a year to walk a FINE LINE in every area of life. Do not be afraid of falling.  Do not try to stay balanced in the flesh.  Do not let your fear of change make you afraid of making decisions. This is a year of the Spirit supernaturally rekindling the power gifts. The war will take a supernatural turn.  Read 1 Cor. 12 &14.  Do not be afraid to experiment and be creative. Witchcraft will become very subtle. The Spirit of God will lead us into occult vs. Holy Spirit wars.  Ask Holy Spirit to invade your life, church or ministry connections, and your state.

9. A new season of aligning the generations. Pray for three prodigals that you know.  Pray for a college campus.  Read Luke 15, especially vss. 11-32.  We must connect the generations. Three generations must learn to war together this year (Isaiah 59:15-21).  All three generations should speak the same prophetic declarations.   The word generation is linked with circle.  If you have time, re-read Esther 9.

10.  New watchman strategies.  Read Ezekiel 13:5.  Prophets must shift from just prophesying to watching and standing in the gap.  Our watchman assignments are changing. This will be a year of confusion and mixed reports. The Lord will release great discernment based upon our connections and alignments.  Ask God who and what you are watching after.  Read Genesis 2:8-15.  Ask God to define your garden.  Ask Him what gardens you are watching after.  Read 2 Samuel 18:19-33.  Ask God to give you a sure word over those assignments that you are watching after.  Read Isaiah 62.  Let the restlessness of God come upon you that you may be watchful and not keep silent over the burdens of your heart. 

 Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce
