"BREAKTHROUGH OCCURRING IN THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE
NATION AND IN THE COURTS"
-- Dutch Sheets

We
have reached an amazing point in our quest to turn America
back to God and His purposes for her. Great momentum has
been produced by the prayers of the Church. An especially
encouraging report is the breakthrough occurring in the
Northeast part of the nation.
I was involved in an
amazing meeting in New Haven, Connecticut, January 19-20,
2006. What the Lord said to New England and the Northeast in
this meeting actually began in October and November of last
year.
In October, I was given a dream. The setting of the dream
was New Haven, Connecticut, and Gateway Christian
Fellowship, led by Brian Simmons. Chuck Pierce was with me
in the dream. The Lord instructed me to decree three things:
-
Miracles would
come to the house
-
Miracles would
come as a result of covenant
-
The
region would be baptized into the miraculous
I'll come back to the
dream, but first I must mention another word from Chuck
Pierce to the region. In November of 2005, Chuck was
ministering in New Jersey. In the meeting, those present
began asking Holy Spirit to stir up the Wind of God in
northern New Jersey. They decreed that the Wind of Awakening
for the churches, state, and region (touching New England
and New York) would blow.
Awakening
Wind
The Lord began to speak,
"I say to you do not fear the snow. Even in the time of
snow the wind will begin to blow. When this wind reaches 67
miles per hour, you will know that one season has ended and
you are entering into your future. I say, let the Wind
blow!" The Lord later referred to it as the
"Awakening Wind." On January 19-20, 2006, the Lord, in
His sovereign timing, used Brian Simmons to bring Chuck and
me to New Haven to minister the message given to me in the
dream. The day before we arrived, the wind was recorded at
68 mph. The headlines of the paper in Connecticut read,
"Blown Away."
Only the Lord could have had the wind blow the day before
our meetings all over New England, and the original colonies
of our nation, as a sign that the season has changed, and
NOW is the time for awakening. There will be a move of the
Spirit characterized by miracles, signs, and wonders. The
winds hit as a sign, scheduled perfectly by the Lord, to
precede the public declaration. We made the declarations
given in my dream, as the Lord instructed, and the crowd
from all over New England resounded with a shout of
agreement! When speaking to me (a few years ago) the Lord
referred to New England as the "womb of the nation,"
and this womb is definitely open. Expect to see incredible
things!
U.S.
Government Breakthrough
Concerning breakthrough
in turning the U.S. government, nowhere is it more visible
than in the Courts. The speed with which it has been
happening is almost mind-boggling. With two Supreme Court
Justices having been replaced, the balance is quickly
changing. With one more change, which I predict will occur
this year, we will have seen a 60-year stronghold broken in
one year. Of course, the overall process has actually taken
much longer, with only the fruit coming quickly.
The anti-life forces see the handwriting on the wall. In an
article found on Reuters, Carey Gillam states:
"It was just a typical week in Middle America where the
decades-old debate over abortion rights has become a
full-blown battle. But even as they continue to raise money
and march around state capitols, the view from the
'pro-choice' side is that this is a fight they are losing.
The Senate confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court
of conservative jurist Samuel Alito, who is favored by
anti-abortion advocates, is seen as a key turning point. Yet
it is only the latest in a series of blows to abortion
rights advocates.
The pro-choice groups find themselves facing a virtual
avalanche of state legislation that ranges from laws banning
abortions in almost all circumstances to laws limiting the
disbursement of birth control and restricting sex education.
President George W. Bush is a vocal supporter of the
anti-abortion movement. Conservative church groups across
the country increasingly oppose abortion."
Will
Roe vs. Wade be Dismantled?
"I think Roe, in the short term, will be dismantled," said
Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. "We
have an anti-choice president, an anti-choice Congress and
now…with the confirmation of Judge Alito to the Supreme
Court, we are seeing the potential for a very right-leaning,
anti-choice Supreme Court."
In another interesting article, Phillip Jauregui speaks of
the effectiveness of our prayers with great poignancy:
"The prayers of the saints have inflicted a devastating toll
on the spiritual forces that have held this Nation in
bondage by ruling over the Supreme Court. The spiritual
forces of wickedness that have reigned over this Nation
through the Supreme Court are reeling like a dazed boxer.
The round after round after round pressing of intercessors
has worn these forces down to the point that they are ready
to fall to the canvas. Now is not the time to fight as we
normally fight. Now is the time to go for the knock-out. Now
is the time to pray with ferocious force and confidence."
Jauregui's final point brings me to the heart of this
communication. Now is NOT the time to let up in our prayers.
I recently received a letter from a trusted friend and
spiritual leader, Jay Comiskey, emphasizing this point. God
has been speaking to him through WW II's Battle of the
Bulge. Here, in his own words, is his warning and
exhortation:
"The D-Day invasion (June, 1944) was a significant
breakthrough for the Allies. However, six months later in
December, they were panicked by the surprise attack of
Hitler's forces in the Battle of the Bulge. Hitler launched
a massive counter-offensive that caught everyone off guard.
I believe the Lord is telling us to prepare, listen, and
pray for the next battle on the Supreme Court. I believe our
resolve and courage will be tested as never before."
"In retrospect, we know the Battle of the Bulge was truly
the 'last gasp' of the enemy. However, this surprise
offensive by Hitler baffled Allied commanders and caused a
panic. Unprepared troops were sent into battle. Everyone was
caught off guard by the magnitude of the fierce attack.
America lost 19,000 soldiers in this one battle lasting six
weeks. We should soberly reflect on this great battle. . .
."
Where are We in the Battle
for the Supreme Court?
"We are standing between
our 'D-Day Victory' and the soon coming 'Battle of the
Bulge.' The tide has turned in our favor for the battle for
the Supreme Court, but I believe the Battle of the Bulge
reminds us that often the enemy's last battles are their
most desperate and vicious."
"I am confident we will prevail in the third strike. I
believe the Lord Himself has declared: 'Three strikes and
they're out!' Nevertheless, I believe Holy Spirit is
calling us to a higher level of alertness, waiting on Him,
and listening before the battle begins!"
"Dutch, I believe we are being called into the Lord's War
Council to hear His counsel and wisdom. His strategies are
beginning to come forth! Let's enter in and listen!"
I concur completely. Let's be proactive, not reactive. My
friend and co-laborer, Chuck Pierce, gave me the encouraging
word recently that the governmental prayer movement is no
longer simply discerning the times and praying accordingly.
We have reached such a place of strength and authority that
we are creating the times and seasons-–in accordance with
the will and plan of God, of course. My determination is
that we will not be as the king who smote the ground only
three times, resulting in partial victory. We will go all
the way, striking in intercession until we prevail fully
(see 2 Kings 13:14-19).
Let's press in as never before. We have "hit our stride" and
can finish the race by seeing one of the greatest seasons of
change in America's history. When we do, we will hand the
fruit to Christ--to whom all praise is due--and we will hand
the fruit to our posterity that will inherit a different
America.
Yours for the Cause,

Discovering
How Your Future
Can Be Greater Than Your Past
by Dutch Sheets & Chuck
Pierce
$15.99
Book
Dear Elijah List INTERCESSORS,
Many of you want to pray for the states in the United States of
America, and you have a heart for different states. In this new
and paradigm-shifting book, Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets write
about each and every state.
They give the purpose, the giftings, and the callings of each
state and the part that state will and MUST play in the plan of
God. Included with each state is a history of the state as it
relates to the intercession necessary to cleanse the land and to
redeem lost time. If you are an intercessor and you love to pray
for the LAND of the USA, then you simply need this book in your
arsenal. I don't know how else to say it.
Blessings for the United States of America,

teaching and a penetrating analysis of the state of the nation
and the church in our day. In Praying for America, one of
America's best-loved Bible teachers gives us a reason to weep
and a reason to hope."
- John Dawson, Author of Healing America's Wounds
America! A new day is upon us, and we will
never be the same. We have awakened to a new world and embarked
on a new course filled with a renewed spirit of unity. But what
does the future hold? Will we be led by our passions or led by
our God?
We stand united, patriotic, and humbled as a nation, ready to
confront our future. Our spirit will not be broken; we shall
overcome. As we cry out to God for our future--and the future of
our children--may God bless America once again!
