URGENT BY CHUCK
PIERCE -- CONCERNING PORT CITES, HOUSTON, GALVESTON and HURRICANE RITA

 I am writing you because of your heart to intercede.
I use the word "intercede" because these are times of standing, until we see victory
coming into our atmosphere. These are times when the prophetic voice coming from
the prophets must mature into accuracy, reflecting the urgency of times and seasons.
Shakings will continue. I saw three cities that were key for prayer this year: New
Orleans, Houston, and Los Angeles. Therefore, I visited all three cities earlier
this year to pray, speak, and encourage the Body.
Our hearts have and continue to cry out for those who have been evacuated and dispersed
from their homes from the Gulf Coast Crisis of Hurricane Katrina. Texas has assimilated
250,000 evacuees from the disaster along the Gulf Coast. In Denton, there are several
facilities that are being used to house the evacuees.
Pam, my wife, has been designated from Glory
of Zion to be our liaison. She has met with Red Cross officials and FEMA so the
church can assist the evacuees. Pam called while I was in Rome, at the beginning
of September, and said, "You prophesied that refuge cities needed to arise NOW.
Now that this is happening, you need to get home and help us administrate this work."
I am assisting with everything when requested, except cooking. We have three families
to help get placed and will be serving dinner again tonight.
This has been a time that has produced joy in
our people, as we have served those with a greater need. Also, we have been in touch
with our Prayer Network Leadership and apostolic connections along the Gulf Coast
States. We are sending support as appropriate. If you want to give towards any of
the ongoing ministry and mission of Glory of Zion International, you can go to
www.glory-of-zion.org/secure/gift.asp?
or call (888) 965-1099 to give by credit card.
Now with Hurricane Rita approaching, I am reminded
of a word that the Lord spoke in February of this year. I am also including prayer
revelation that Cindy Jacobs just called and gave to us. I love Houston and the
Gulf. Let's allow our faith to rise. Let's stand and cry out for the "tempest's
fury to pass and damage and destruction to be lessened."
Prophecy Concerning Houston
After the 50 State Tour, the Lord instructed me to go to the key port cities
of our nation this year. This has been a personal journey. I have now visited most
of the major ports in our nation, including Laredo, Texas, the largest inland port.
I have yet, to visit Seattle, but I will be there in October. The Lord instructed
me to go to port cities by saying, "There is going to be some entry by the enemy
into port cities this year, and this is going to cause destruction like we have
not seen before."
On February 20, 2005, I spoke in Houston. Here is a portion of the word that came
forth:
"Houston is a target for the
enemy because you are a great city, a great port, a great city for revival, and
a great city for commerce. You are like Tyre in the Bible. There is a crisis coming
toward Houston that will move the city into a different dimension of God's presence."
And the Lord said to me, "Houston is going to
be a place where My angels are flooding in this year. They are going to flood in
and come in through every gate this year. My angels are coming in through the port
areas of Houston. Go to every port point this year and invite the angelic forces
in. If you will do that over the next ten months, you will see change by the end
of the year, all across the city. I am ready for the angels to come in. I have chosen
Houston as the port city where I will rest My presence, in the midst of a strange
happening in this nation. I will cause My presence to be established in this city.
I will cause enemies of My Spirit, who have resisted My presence in the past, to
welcome My presence this year."
The Lord then said, "There's a shift that's gone
on here. You've shifted. You are (now) moving from a heavenly realm. You have moved
out of a vacuum of unbelief. It wasn't darkness, but it was a void – something that
has been confused, that had no form, that looked like it would remain formless from
now until a future time. You've moved that out of the atmosphere here. Now, you
have brought into the atmosphere, a faith dimension that has restored My covenant
back to My people in this city."
The Lord then said that Houston would shift in
July. "Prepare yourself, for you will influence the nation in a time of crisis.
You've endured the testing of covenant with each other. You've watched each other
make horrible mistakes, and yet, your covenant with Me and My blood has overcome
those mistakes. You have watched some let go of things. You watched some go in wrong
directions. But I've brought it back full circle.
"You have watched certain things end. Don't judge
how they ended; I was ending certain things, so that I can begin again. You have
endured a covenant-breaking structure that has resisted My move in this city. You
have endured and prevailed against a covenant-breaking spirit that overcame past
generations. Now, you have overcome that spirit. Just as Moses made a mistake, and
I restored his call, I've now come back full circle and said, ‘Now, it's My Time!'
Follow Me in a new way, confront your enemies in a new way, and move forward in
a new way. For I am going to rest in the city, and you will know My Presence has
come to rest in this city."
?
Prophecy Concerning
Galveston
The Lord also said, "And you will know I'm going to shake Galveston in a way that
it has not been shaken since the beginning of the last century. But this is a time
for Me to come full circle. And this time, Galveston will begin to run forward into
My presence in Houston. And that which is resisting My presence in Galveston will
be overtaken. I am raising up the Body in Houston to receive an outpouring of My
presence. As I flood the people of Galveston to Houston, I will return them with
a flood of My presence.
"Faith is now your guide. For faith will explode in the very hearts of this city
and ten surrounding, smaller cities of this area. This will be a faith explosion
that will begin to occur because victory has entered Houston, and you have gathered
to receive a new anointing of grace. Walk forth with Me from this place, for I am
dressing you in victory. You are turning upward. And although you do not know where
this updraft will take you, ride the wind with Me and the waves will not overtake
you."
In I Chronicles 21, we find a key story that I shared. In a time of war, David numbered
Israel. We can see here that David had lost some measure of faith. This faith dimension
shifted him into a place of just looking at the overall earthly army, instead of
seeing the heavenly help that was available.
Joab said, "Why have you done this? God can do
with small as well as large," and yet the king's word prevailed against Joab. What
David did was to disconnect the movement of Israel's army from the Host of Heaven.
His fear and reliance on his own strength and armies discounted and stopped the
Host of Heaven from moving.
The Lord would say to Houston, "Do not look around
you in your time of need - call for heavenly help!" God gave David a choice. The
prophet said, "Choose for yourself – three years of famine (which I believe doesn't
work for Houston, since November 2004 broke three years of famine, and the barrenness
I felt before is no longer dwelling over Houston)…OR you can have three months to
be defeated by your foes, with the sword of your enemies overtaking you (which means
three months that you are going to go through the hell of your life, and the Lord
is going to let every demon that's tried to overtake you do so) … OR else you can
let Me deal with you for three days."
David said, "Well, I'd rather have You and anything
You can do for three days - because I love You and trust You - than to let man even
come near me. Lord, I know you love me; I am going to choose you!" This forced David
into a strategic place for his future.
"I would say to this nation, ‘You are going to
go through three days of tremendous trial. In the midst of the confusion that is
going on in this nation, that will be lasting three days, I will make Myself known.'"
(I do not believe that this has happened yet. I think this is linked with a financial
crisis ahead).

FROM CINDY JACOBS
September 21, 2005
As we are poised on the threshold of launching
the 40 Days of Prayer at Christ for the Nations in Dallas for miracles to be restored,
there is a hurricane named Rita nipping at our heels. God wants to release a flood
of his glory and power, and Satan wants to release flood-tides of destruction. The
name Rita comes from the name "Margaret," which means Pearl of Great Price. It happens
to be my middle name.
In asking the Lord about how to pray about this
hurricane, several things came to me. First of all, Texas is the home of President
Bush. This is a storm that is meant to mock him. I also heard the Lord say that
there are many Muslim leaders who will say that destruction to Texas is the judgment
of Allah upon the American president. Let's pray that God will turn this storm from
its path of destruction. Ask God to dissipate its strength. Declare that all powers
of darkness that are fueling it will be bound.
A NEW SONG FOR NOW: FUTURES AND FINALES
Braving Storms' Waves!
?
I always watch very carefully to see how the
sound of the Lord comes forth. I also try to listen carefully to the generation
that is rising up. In these trying times, I have wondered how the next generation
would be processing many of these crises.
Aaron Smith, lead singer of STRATEGY OF A LAUNCH,
just wrote a new song that is probably one of the most incredible, worshipful, powerful
sounding songs that I have heard for this hour. We are producing Finales and Futures
(Braving Storms' Waves). Very seldom do I hear something that produces an emotional
release like this song.
However, it also releases a sound of sustaining
strength in the midst of the waves of change that are being produced by the storms
of life at this time. When I listened to this song, I said, "Lord, put this deep
in my spirit so I can get to the end of my journey this hour."
You can order this for $5 by calling (888) 965-1099
