We are in an unparalleled
window of time where our response and pursuit of God can bring great favor and
change. It has been a Biblical

Lou asked me to help him spearhead that move, I knew it was God. Yet we had no
idea if 25,000 or 100,000 would come. The Holy Spirit exceeded our wildest

time again to humble ourselves, repent of our sins and pray for a fresh move of
the Holy Spirit on our nation. We can't rest on yesterday's victories.

NO TOLERATION!
"Behold I am going to send you Elijah
the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. And he
will restore the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the
children to their fathers lest I come and smite the land with a curse"
(Malachi 4:5-6).
"Nevertheless, I
have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel who calls herself a
prophetess. She leads and teaches My bondservants
astray so that they commit acts of immorality. I gave her time to repent and
she does not want to repent of her immorality. Behold I will cast her upon a
bed of sickness and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation
unless they repent of her deeds. And I will kill her children with the plague
and all the churches will know that I AM HE who searches the minds and hearts
and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds" --Jesus Christ, Ruler of the kings of the
earth and Husband of a pure bride,
(Revelation 2:20-23).
My
young friend had a dream that he was about to be married to a well-known
seductive entertainer. She knew she had him wrapped
around her finger. Her powerful spell of seduction began to take control of
him. Suddenly he came to his senses. "I know who you are! You are
Jezebel!" he shouted out in the dream. The demonic spell was broken. This
dream changed this young man's life forever. He repented from a love for the
world and now stands as a holy testimony for God, even as he works in the midst
of
As
it is in
Elijah
was determined to turn back the nation to God, and his
message was for repentance from compromise with the spirit of Jezebel. "How long will you halt between two opinions? If Baal is
God serve him, but if God is God, serve Him" (1 Kings 18:21). Summed
up, Elijah's revolutionary challenge to his nation was, "NO
TOLERATION!" The same command of God can be heard 2000 years later where
the spirit of Jezebel is exposed in the Church at Thyatira. Jesus dictates a
strongly worded letter to them:
"To the angel of the church in
Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like
blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your
love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more
than you did at first. Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that
woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess" (Revelation 2:18-20).
In
the midst of a church tolerating sexual laxity and promoting a casual approach
to sin, God says, "I have this against you,
you tolerate the woman Jezebel who seduces my bondservants into sexual
immorality."
"...the eternal Word specifically described Himself as 'He who
searches the minds and hearts' (Rev 2:23), for it is in the inner sanctuary of
our private soul life where tolerance to Jezebel begins. It is here, within us,
where tolerance must end...This spirit was sitting in the Church in Thyatira
when it was exposed by the Holy Spirit nineteen hundred years ago. It still has
its favorite seat in Church. There are respectable men who love God and who
seek to serve Him, yet secretly in their hearts are prisoners of Jezebel. Even
now, they are deeply ashamed of their bondage to pornography, and they can
barely control their desires for women. Ask them to pray and their spirits are
awash with guilt and shame. Their prayers are but the whimpers of Jezebel's
eunuchs" (The Jezebel
Spirit by Francis Frangipane).
We
all know the story of Jezebel--perched in the window--trying one last time to
seduce her way out of judgment (2 Kings 9:30).
Jehu looks up at her in the window and commands her eunuch attendants to throw
her down! Hundreds of years later, Jesus said that the eyes are the windows of
the soul. If someone were to gaze into your eyes, what would they see? Would
they see Jezebel and her seductive compromises enthroned there? "Or would
they see the burning One with pure blazing eyes of fire and feet burnished with
bronze?"(
"I will set no vile thing before my
eyes"(Psalm 101:3). "Death has climbed in through our windows...it
has cut off our children from the streets" (Jeremiah 9:21). Our eye windows are particularly
vulnerable in this age of technology. We are flooded with images. Most of us
take this for granted as a part of daily life, yet we forget that until little
more than a century ago, photographs did not even exist, and the only visual
images people ever saw were those drawn or painted by artists. This severely
limited the amount of visual information a person had to process. It also meant
that the tide of pornography as we know it today was unthinkable back then. As
a generation that has been born in this climate, we hardly even notice the vile
thing it is! I am preaching to myself as well as to those who read.
The pastors and leaders of this nation are being called to be the first to
repent.
"Then he said to me, son of man do you
see what the elders of the house of Israel are committing in the dark, each man
in the room of his own carved images" (Ezekiel 8:12). If God were to dig in the dark
room of our own imaginations, what photographs would he see there?
I
urge you, in the fear of God, to examine your "windows." What have
you been watching? Are you irresistibly drawn to those sites on the Internet
that are perverse and defiling? Are you addicted to
pornography? Have you been seduced by entertainment and computer games? Let me
ask you, "What's in your imaginations?" The spirit of Jezebel works
in the imaginations. Don't say, "Oh, I can handle this." Listen,
if you let that seed get in your heart, it will kill your prophetic fire with
its little compromises. Pornography is toleration. Homosexuality and
fornication are toleration. Books, magazines, and movies that allure our hearts
away from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ are all tolerations.
Rebellion toward parents and leaders are toleration. Is this struggle
going on in your soul? God wants to set us free! Go and see your
pastor or someone in leadership today, and confess your sins if you are in
bondage to these things. Thank God for His mercy, for if God counted sin, then
who could stand? I boast alone in the great mercies of God. And may God show
mercy to this nation.
"Jezebel's worst enemies are the prophets; her worst fear is that
the people will embrace repentance. Jezebel hates repentance." (The Jezebel Spirit, By Francis
Frangipane)
In
a culture saturated with sexual sin, Elijah strides onto the stage of history
and confronts Jezebel, only to find himself under her very spell. On a 40-day
fast he breaks the power of that spell and unleashes a new generation of
leaders to end her vile reign. If Elijah is coming again before the
great and terrible day of the Lord, then we know that Jezebel is coming as
well. The 40-day fast is the mighty weapon to break her spell of addictions,
sexual bondage, mental torment, suicidal thoughts, disorders, and diseases.
What
would happen in America and the nations if tens of thousands of fathers and
mothers, the Elijahs of today, fasted for 40 days
intensely, repenting and cleansing themselves of inward toleration of sexual
immorality, addiction to entertainment, and spiritual apathy? What if these
parents prayed for their children for 40 days to break off rebellion and
release revelation of the Lord into their hearts? What if a young generation of
Elishas fasted for 40 days to be cleansed from lust,
TV addictions, pornography, spiritual mediocrity, and rebellion toward their
parents, believing that a double portion of the Holy Spirit will rest on their
lives?
What
would happen if tens of thousands would pray Song of
Solomon 8:6? "Lord, put Your fiery love as a seal over
my heart, capture me with Your vehement flame of love, a love stronger than the
flames of lust. Send this fiery love over a whole generation, a love that many
waters cannot overflow."
This
is the Lord's answer! The earth would experience spiritual convulsions, the
powers of darkness would tremble, and the children of God would break forth
with freedom, and a great light of spiritual awakening would dawn all over the
earth.
Lord, right now I release Elijah's 40-day fast for freedom and
deliverance. And may there be a shout in the nations, "No
Toleration!" In Jesus' name, Amen.
Chuck Pierce:
"WILL YOU ANSWER THE CALL?
Part 2"
Dear
Friends:
I
recently sent out the complete call to prayer that Lou Engle received. Lou has
been ordained by the Lord to call a nation and generation together in
I
want to encourage you to enter into the 40 days of fasting that precedes this
gathering (beginning on May 28). In this email I am including a 40 Day Prayer
Focus to assist you. This prayer focus will help you in "Overthrowing
Reproaches and Captivity." As you pray for your family, ask the Lord to
change this nation. This prayer focus and fast could be life changing for you. If
you have never participated in a 40 day extended call to prayer, now is one of
the best times to begin.
A DREAM: The Call to Protect a Generation and Teach Them How to War!
I
have had a great awareness this year of the generation that is arising. I have
watched the Lord bring forth a new generation of worshippers. I continue to
teach and train a new generation of prophets. The real need, and key
issue for the next generation, is developing their discernment.
June
Rana, the Office Manager here at GZI, recently
communicated this dream to me:
"We were in a Boarding School. Nazi-like people came in with guns
and wanted to kill the adults. But instead of separating all the adults from
the children, they grouped us so that each parent was with one of their
children. I (June) had no children there, but was put in a room with a parent
who had a 10-12 year old child. We were sitting in school chairs with desks.
One of the officers entered and said that the children would kill the parent.
There were two people there I recognized, along with a younger version of one
of our pastors. The Nazi-like officer gave his pistol to the young pastor, who
took it and shot himself in the head. Then the officer passed the gun to one of
the ladies I recognized. This person had a strange, puzzled, naive look on her
face. She took the gun and shot herself in the head, causing only a flesh
wound. Then the officer handed the gun to me (June) and instead of doing what
we were being instructed to do, I shot the person in the middle of the head.
Then the woman with the flesh wound took the gun back from me and shot herself
again.
I then knew that we needed to formulate a plan and hide before we were all
killed. We stripped off the Nazi-like officer's clothes and put it on one of
the fathers in the room. We hid the officer where he could not be easily seen,
and then followed the father out of the room so it looked like we were
following an officer rather than trying to escape. Our hope was that we could
walk out without being stopped!"
When
she shared this dream, I immediately thought of how the next generation must
learn to discern. I reflected on how religious spirits and false
submission could be very destructive. I was amazed that the enemy could hand a
gun to someone and they would use the enemy's weapon on themselves because they
had been directed to shoot themselves instead of turning the weapon on the
enemy. I also saw the present need for a generation to arise, to lead
forth another generation out of captivity and into freedom.
Turning Back a Reproach
So
many cycles are coming full circle in this war season. The 40 year cycles of
"the season of love", the
Sin
produces something known as a reproach. A reproach is defined as a
source of blame, discredit, disgrace, shame, humiliation, or scorn.
Once sin embeds down in you, it creates a reproach that works against the favor
of God. Favor means: pleasure, desire, delight, to be
pleased with or favorable toward something. When God is pleased with us, His
favor rests on us. But sin can stop God's favor from resting on us. In this
case, we exchange God's favor for His disapproval. A reproach does not mean
that we have lost our salvation or our standing with God. It does mean,
however, that the favor God longs to give us in some area of our lives is
blocked because of the iniquity that has now infiltrated our garment.
Until we make our lives right before God once again, we (and perhaps our
descendants) will live under the effects of that reproach.
How Do Reproaches Manifest?
There
are many ways that a reproach can work itself out in the life of an individual.
A common manifestation is an uncircumcised heart. In the Old
Testament, the physical sign of the Abrahamic
covenant was circumcision. When Joshua took the children of
Today,
it is not a physical but spiritual sign we bear, which is circumcision of the
heart. Deuteronomy 30:6 explains,
"And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart
and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your
heart and with all your soul, that you may live." When you have not
had your heart opened up to covenant with God or continually break that
covenant, you cannot bear the sign of the covenant, which is a circumcision of
heart--loving the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul--that you may live. Without circumcision of the heart, reproaches, such as slavery and idolatry was for the
children of
Many
illnesses are linked with reproaches. Reproaches caused by sin have much more
of an affect on our basic bodily and mental functions than many of us realize.
In fact, we know that the wages of sin is death--physical death. By the same
token, a result of sin is also illness. The most visible sin-initiated reproach
on our society today is AIDS. While not every case of AIDS is a direct result
of a specific sin, the majority is. In addition, certain forms of arthritis
have been linked to anger. Ulcers and other stomach ailments can be caused by
sin-induced anxiety. Even though not all illnesses are a result of sin (see
John 9:3), many need to be addressed with this understanding.
A
reproach can be detected by the absence of the Presence of God. Reproaches can
also manifest and result in barrenness, decrease, and poverty. When we are sent
to war and lose the conflict, a reproach comes upon our lives or the life of a
nation.
We
must be reclothed for the future. Unless we remove
the reproaches of the past, we can never enter into the favor God has for our
future. The reproach of the past then becomes our garment for the days ahead.
The following 40-Day Prayer Focus will help you remove any reproach that is
holding you captive to the past, and help us prepare for the declarations to be
made at The Call on 7-7-7.
40 Days to Roll Away the Reproach of a Generation and Secure our
Inheritance for the Future
Day 1: Read Numbers 14, Joshua 5 & 6. Praise
God! Ask the Lord for the strategy of worship that will dethrone that which is
invincible in your life and is stopping you from moving forward in your
promise. Decree that every reproach of unbelief from the past generation that
is connected to your life, your inheritance and your future will be
"ROLLED AWAY"!
Day 2: Read Isaiah 12, Numbers 21:10 -18. Praise
breaks open your wells of salvation. Praise is the cure for dryness. Receive a
renewed spirit!
Day 3: Read John 14:21, John 16:7-9, Ephesians
4:7-32. As you worship, receive a spirit of revelation. Obey. Usually, He will
tell you something very simple to do. There are many needs during this season,
physically and emotionally. Ask the Lord to speak to you over how to give. As
you give, you will receive revelation of who the Father is. Jesus ascended so
the Helper (the Holy Spirit) could come to Earth on our behalf. Therefore, if
we worship and ascend, we are promised that the Holy Spirit will fill our
lives. He will bring conviction when we sin, open the way for us to experience
our righteousness through faith, and condemn the devil on our behalf. Ask Him
to fill you new and fresh.
Day 4: Read Acts 7:54-60. As we ascend in
worship, we are comforted in our sufferings. Ask the Lord to touch you in the
place where you have the most need.
Day 5: Read 2 Tim. 4:16-18, 2 Kings 6. Don't
allow the enemy to convince you that he is more powerful than the Lord. Open
your eyes and see the angelic host around you. We can experience the Lord
standing with us and strengthening us so that we might accomplish His will on
Earth. We can experience the power of His ascension and deliverance from every
evil work.
Day 6: Read 1 Sam. 30. This is a transition
chapter. The activities in this chapter released David into his next level of
anointing. Especially notice verses 24-25. Receive new strength. Pursue and
retrieve all!
Day 7: Read Heb. 2. Meditate on Verse 9. Declare
that the power of any voice of death over the personal vision of your life be
broken. From His ascension, He demonstrated that glory, not death, is the final
word of operation in our lives. Make declarations of faith. Only through
worship do we ascend into a new faith dimension.
Day 8: Read Eccl. 3. War for
the next generation. To everything there is a time and season, a time
for every purpose under Heaven...a time of war. When it is a time for war, we
must have a paradigm for war! We are experiencing a time in our nation when we
are entering into a new war. However, this war is not just physical but
spiritual. The Church is being prepared to enter its most dynamic season of
warfare, worship, and harvest. The real issue is that without His presence, we
are destined for defeat. Also read Numbers 2:3.
Day 9: Read 1 Cor.
10:1-11. The apostle Paul tells us that the accounts of
Day 10: Read 2 Chron.
20. God gives us strategies that are not of the wisdom of this world. The
example He has presented to us is to send
Day 11: Read Hosea 10. Meditate on verse 11.
Unshakable praise plows through the hardest ground. When the ground is hard,
when the circumstances are adverse, God's favor is on the one who will lead off
with praise. Fallow ground will break up. Declare the plow of praise will cut
through ungiving earth and make a way for the good
seed of the Word to be planted.
Day 12: Read Psalm 30. Sing verse 5. "Weeping
may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in
the morning" (NASB). Unshakable praise must keep going.
Day 13: Read James 5, Matthew 4. The Word of God
tells us to submit ourselves to God, draw near to Him and then resist the
devil. I believe that as we worship and submit ourselves to a holy God, we can
come into intimate contact with Him. Even though we walk here on the earth in
our worshipful submission, we ascend into Heaven. As we individually seek God
and ascend into the Throne Room, we can hear the sound of Heaven in our spirit
man on Earth. Be sure any area where you are not operating in submission is
dealt with. Resist Satan's temptation in your wilderness. Remember, the Spirit
of God led Jesus into the wilderness. Stop in the midst of your hard situation
and see the Spirit's leading.
Day 14: Read Num. 10, Rev. 1. God always led His
people forth with sound. We find in Numbers 10 that trumpets would sound. Give
a special offering this month. We also find this all the way through the Book
of Revelation. The Book of Revelation is an incredible, elaborate pageant,
interpreted to us by Heavenly, celestial singers along with creatures and elders.
John saw a door standing open in Heaven, and the Voice he heard was like a
trumpet speaking and saying, "Come up here and I will show you things that
must take place after this" (see Rev. 1:10). The Lord's voice, many times,
sounds like a trumpet calling us forth. The trumpet, or shofar,
in the Word of God had a distinct sound to assemble and call God's people to
war.
Day 15: Read 2 Samuel 5. Another sound we find
before God led His troops forward was "the wind in the mulberry
trees." In 2 Samuel 5, David had experienced a major breakthrough in his
own life. What had been prophesied over him 29 years prior had actually come into
fulfillment. He then had to lead the armies forth into
battle. David had one driving purpose: to get the Ark of the Covenant of God
back into its rightful position in the midst of God's covenant people. When the
Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king, they rose up against
him. David defeated and drove them back out of his jurisdictional authority.
However, they regrouped and started coming back at him again. He then asked the
Lord if he was to pursue them. In 2 Samuel 5:24 the Lord answers, "And...when you hear the sound of the marching in the tops of the
mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly." The sound of marching is
not just the wind blowing the tops of the trees, but it is the hosts of Heaven
and the armies of God rustling the leaves and signifying they were present to
help David in victory. In the Book of Revelation, we find the real issue is the
relationship between the sounds of Heaven and the demonstration of God on
Earth. Sound leads us forth.
Day 16: Read Deut. 20, Deut 32:30. War for your future. One can put 1,000 to flight, but two
can put 10,000 to flight. This is a valuable principle of multiplication. Ask
the Lord for an increase in strength.
Day 17: Read Is. 55, Mt. 16. Lean not on your own
understanding. His word will not return void. Notice how Peter operated. He had
great revelation, and then his mind and emotions kicked in and were occupied by
satan. Ask the Lord to bring
your mind and emotions under control.
Day 18: Memorize Prov.
3:3-10. I like them in the Amplified. Satan's plan is to tempt you in a way
that you deviate from God's path for your life.
Day 19: Read Mt. 18:19. Jesus told us, "Again
I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may
ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in Heaven" (Matt.
18:19, NASB). This is the power of agreement that increases the effectiveness
of our prayers. The word "agree" means to come into harmony with. It
actually means we make the same sound on Earth that is coming from Heaven.
Declare that our sounds on earth will be in harmony with the sounds of Heaven.
Meditate on Verse 20. We have a special promise from Jesus that He, Himself,
will show up when we gather together in His name. "For where two or three
have gathered together in My name, I am there in their
midst" (Matt. 18:20, NASB). When we come together, He is there with us.
Declare that we will be a people who abide in the Lord's presence. Also read
and sing Psalm 91.
Day 20: Read Jer. 25:30,
Amos 6, "The Lord will roar from on high and utter His voice from His holy
habitation; He will roar mightily against His fold. He will shout like those
who tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth (NASB)."
Declare that the Lord's voice will be heard in the nations of the earth today.
Day 21: Memorize Eph. 1:3-6. "Blessed be the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him
before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame
before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ
to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the
glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved."
Day 22: Read Psalm 34, Heb. 1, especially verse
14. Praise God for the angels that are encamping around you. Declare that these
ministering spirits will transcend to the natural realm from the spiritual
realm. As we ascend in worship, we also know that a portal opens for angelic
visitation. During our times of prayer and crying out to God, during those
times when we worship with abandonment as David did, we enter the realm of the
spirit.
Day 23: Read Romans 9 and meditate on verse 29. Read Psalm 46, Romans 11. Be still. Bless
Day 24: Read Psalms 16 and 29. Decree the voice of
the Lord will sound over your inheritance. When sound comes
into air, the air changes. When God releases His voice, creation must
respond. When we serve as God's voice on Earth, Earth responds to the sound we
release. When we express ourselves in worship to the Lord, the air vibrates
with our worship. This causes our environment to change. Declaring the sound of
true worship will cause your city, state, and nation to be transformed. Worship
and declare that your atmosphere will change. Receive His creative power. May
the creativity of God be released in you.
Day 25: Read Acts 1. Meditate on verse 3. This is
the only place in the Bible where the word "passion" is used. Passion
means to enter into the sufferings of the Lord against temptation. Passion
deals with both your mind and your emotions, and is linked to resistance. Resist
the number one thing that tempts you and watch the passion of Christ rise
within you.
Day 26: Read Genesis 1:26-28 through Genesis 3.
Satan wants you to believe that God is not directing you. He also wants you to
think that God is holding out on you. This is what he did to the woman in the
garden as he manipulated her desires. Ask God to break any manipulation that is
aligned with your desires.
Day 27: Read Psalm 37. Be sure that your desires
are aligned correctly. Temptation is linked to desires that are not within
God's boundaries.
Day 28: Read Luke 10. Ask the Lord to remove all
distractions that are robbing the best for you and your family. Ask the Lord to
cause your will to realign so that you choose the best that He has for you.
Day 29: Read Genesis 14 and 15. God revealed
Himself to Abraham as the 'Possessor of Heaven and Earth'. This was in the
context of war. Abraham gave to Melchizedek. Then notice the covenant God made
with Abraham. Ask God to reaffirm your covenant with Him.
Day 30: Read the Lord's Prayer from Luke 11. Ask
the Lord to deliver you from temptation. Also read Genesis 22. Temptation is
linked to our testing. See how God tested Abraham's faith and revealed Himself
to Abraham as Jehovah Jireh.
Day 31: Memorize Is. 9:3. The division of the
spoil was a joyous feast for the people. Rejoice! Also read Esther 3 and 8. Let
God develop your strategy to take back what the enemy has plotted to take from
you.
Day 32: Read Deut. 8, especially verses 18-20.
Increase is a harvest principle. Increase rises through faith and follows deeds
that are linked with faith. Increase comes through supernatural Kingdom
connections so we can all enter into a multiplied, synergistic corporate
measure of increase. Increase is also a reward for obedience. A fundamental
question we need to ask ourselves is: What is wealth? There are several ways to
look at wealth in the Bible. Power means vigor, strength, force, or
capacity-whether physical, mental, or spiritual. Wealth means material
substance, strength, and the spoils of war necessary to accomplish God's plan
on earth.
Day 33: Read Zech 3, Duet 26-28. Ask the Lord to
remove the past reproaches and re-clothe you for the war ahead.
Day 34: Read 2 Timothy 1, Isaiah 41. Stir up your
faith and renounce all fears. Ask the Lord to restore your mind. Ask the Lord
for a new identity.
Day 35: Read Hebrews 5,
Memorize verse 14. Ask the Lord to release discernment on you and the next
generation.
Day 36: Read Luke 19. Ask God what you have, and
how to multiply it.
Day 37: Read Ps. 115:14-16. Memorize Ps. 82:4. Ask
God for increase. Ask Him to give you a mind for increase. Ask Him to open your
heart to any prophetic word that will bring you success and cause you to be
able to rake in the spoils that the enemy is holding. Declare deliverance from
the hand of the wicked who has tied up any of your wealth.
Day 38: Read Mal. 3 and 2 Cor.
10:3-6. Declare that the generational curse of "GOD ROBBING" will be
broken out of your bloodline. This is one of the four major generational
curses. Tear down mindsets of poverty. Poverty has a voice which says,
"God is not able." There are philosophies in your life that have
developed wrong mindsets over wealth. Dismantle unbelief over provision.
"Prove Me NOW," says the Lord! Look up and see the windows of
blessings that He wants to open up. Watch Him overcome your devourer. May the
law of booty take action in your life. The law of
booty was that it should be divided equally between the army who won it and
God's covenant people. A portion of the spoil was assigned to the oppressed,
the aged, widows, and orphans.
Day 39: Read Joel 1, 2, 3:16. God roars as He goes
to battle. He will roar against His covenant enemies. His covenant people will
also begin to roar and become a fearful, holy remnant to contend with in the
earthly realm. He will be a shelter and a strength to
those who respond to His sound and call on Him. Worship this season will
determine how the multitudes in the valley of decision begin to decide to
follow God. There is an inherited roar within you. Let the Lord draw you near
and develop that roar within you so that this sound is brought forth at the
appropriate time in your life in this season. Let a roar arise! Declare that
your inheritance is secured, that you have recovered all, and that your sons

Day 40: Memorize and sing Psalm 23. Thank Him that
He is Jehovah Rohi and will lead you into full
restoration.
Spend
a Day of Rearguard Praise! Unshakable praise plows through the hardest ground.
When the ground is hard, when the circumstances are adverse, God's favor is on
the one who will lead off with praise. Fallow ground will break up. Declare the
plow of praise will cut through the un-giving earth and make a way for the good
seed of the Word to be planted. Read Psalm 130; Rev. 2:10.
Praise God for removing your past and extending abundant grace and forgiveness
to you. Stand in His Presence and receive an outpouring of His grace. Let hope
arise new and fresh. Let assurance of redemption rest upon you, and command all
fear to leave you. Spend a day in praise! Victory Deserves Praise! Praise is a
response that we should have to God when He reveals Himself to us. Therefore,
praise can occur at the point of revelation rather than at the actual time of the
manifestation of the promise. As we praise God in advance when He speaks to us
or gives us faith to believe Him for a manifestation
of something we desire, He enthrones Himself or makes Himself King over that
situation in our life.
Praise
comes from a Latin word meaning "value" or "price." Thus,
to give praise to God is to proclaim His merit or worth. Many terms are used to
express this in the Bible, including "glory," "blessing,"
"thanksgiving," and "hallelujah." The Hebrew title of the
book of Psalms ("Praises") comes from the same root as
"hallelujah," and Psalms 113-118 have been specially designated the
"Hallel" ("praise") Psalms. The
modes of praise are many, including the offering of sacrifices (Lev. 7:13),
physical movement (2 Sam. 6:14), silence and meditation (Ps. 77:11-12),
testimony (Ps. 66:16), prayer (Phil. 4:6), and a holy life (1 Pet. 1:3-9).
Praise is many times linked to music, both instrumental (Ps. 150:3-5) and
vocal. Praise is to originate in the heart and not become mere outward show (Matt.
15:8). Corporate praise is to be carried on in an orderly manner (1 Cor. 14:40).
Praise
is also firmly linked to an individual's everyday life (Amos 5:21-24). The
Bible displays outbursts of praise! God takes pleasure and delight in His works
and expects us to express our joy in what He does. The coming of the Kingdom of
God into the midst of this world is marked by the restoration of joy and praise
to the people of God (Is. 9:2; Ps. 96:11-13; Rev. 5:9-14; Lk.
2:13-14). Praise arises from sheer joy in the redeeming presence of God (Dt. 27:7; Nu. 10:10 ; Lv. 23:40). The praise of God is rendered on earth for the
works of creation and redemption (Ps. 24; 136). Praise is an echo on earth of
the praise of Heaven (Rev. 4:11; 5:9-10). Praise distinguishes the people of
God from the heathen who refuse to render it (1 Pet. 2:9; Eph. 1:3-14; Phil.
1:11, Rom. 1:21). The act of praising implies the closest fellowship with the
One who is being praised. C. S. Lewis says, "In commanding us to glorify
Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him" (C. S. Lewis, Reflections on the
Psalms, 1958, p. 95).
