A
NOTE FROM CHUCK PIERCE:
Below is a key, urgent prayer request initiated
by Apostle Dutch Sheets. This prayer thrust will take you from Inauguration Day
(January 20) to March 1. Remember, this is a year that we move from victory to victory!
I will be sending you key insights that will help us develop not only a victory
mindset in our own lives, but also for this nation. Use your 10 Day Prayer Focus
(http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html
?ID=2783)
to develop a victory mindset at this time.
Also, don’t forget to pray for Iraq, the troops
there and the Iraqi national election at the end of this month (http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html
?ID=2781).
If you need a guide to help you stay focused through March 1, there is a 40 day
prayer focus on my website. This is called “Contending with your Enemy, Removing
the Tempter’s Covering and Possessing Your Spoils” (www.glory-of-zion.org/outmail/3-22-04.htm).
Blessings as you strike the scales of justice,
Chuck D. Pierce

Striking
the Scales of Justice - 40 Days of Prayer Beginning with the Inauguration
by Dutch Sheets

A
NATIONAL CALL TO PRAYER
Dear Intercessors,
At a recent meeting of prophets in Colorado Springs, convened by Peter Wagner, a
consensus came that there needed to be a heightened level of intercession for the
nation, especially the courts, over the next few days and weeks. This was then confirmed
by a dream about Lou Engle and me, which I will share with you momentarily.
First,
let me give you a little background information on what Lou Engle is doing. (You
can go to his website at www.thecauseusa.com
for a more detailed presentation of Lou's plans.) God has given Lou and his team
of intercessors several dreams and prophetic words which indicate that he is to
start a house of prayer in Washington, D.C. That is beginning this week, although
Lou also did a several week prayer focus there leading up to the elections. His
focus will be the courts, especially the overturning of Roe vs. Wade.
I am partnering with Lou in this effort as
are Mike Bickle and several other leaders. I will be with Lou this Thursday night
for a special meeting, at which time I will be helping to launch this new effort.
The timing of that has to do with this prayer alert and the dream that was shared
with Lou and me.
THE DREAM: STRIKING THE SCALES OF JUSTICE
Here are the primary details of the dream: Lou and I were in a building together;
it was some sort of a banquet atmosphere and setting. Lou was talking to people
around him about prayer and fasting, but he was, for the most part, ignored. I was
talking to individuals and they were listening to me. Lou was growing frustrated
that the people around him were not listening to his passion about praying and fasting
but, rather, were just chattering and eating.
I handed him something that the person having
the dream could not see and said, "Here Lou, if you will strike this, they will
listen to you." I also handed him a conductor's wand with which to strike the instrument.
Lou did this and the sound reverberated through the room and everyone began to pay
close attention to him.
When he turned back around to me, what he was
striking could be seen and it was the scales of justice. He then looked at me and
said, "This crescendo will reach its fullness on March the first."
40 DAYS OF PRAYER BEGINNING WITH THE INAUGURATION
Here are some insights that we feel are significant from this dream. Obviously the
scales of justice are confirmation that this is the issue we must focus on now.
Secondly, the fact that they had to be struck
pictures intercession (the Hebrew word for intercession is paga, which means
to "strike the mark").
Thirdly, the conductor's wand indicates agreement
since the Greek word for agreement is sumphoneo, from which we get our word
symphony. The fact that Lou and I were together, and I handed him these things,
obviously indicates a need for our partnering.
The date, March 1, we believe is very significant. Though the number 40 was not
in the dream, if you back up 40 days from March the first, it is this Thursday night,
which is also the night that I was to speak for Lou in Washington, D.C. and help
launch this new effort. And it is Inauguration Day.
We believe something is to be launched in the
spirit this Thursday -- Inauguration Day. A massive effort of prayer and fasting
for 40 days, which will culminate on February 28, and break through in the heavenlies
causing a crescendo in the spirit by March 1. This week also is the week that Norma
McCorvey (Roe in Roe vs. Wade) is re-filing her case with the Supreme Court in an
effort to overturn abortion rights. We feel that this timing is significant also.
We also believe that the end of the 40 days on 2/28 is symbolic of Joel 2:28. You
can read this passage yourself, but we believe this 40 day period is a Joel fast
to raise up a Joel's army and will create a great breakthrough and outpouring of
God's Spirit in the land.
AN ALL OUT ASSAULT ON THE ISSUE OF ABORTION AND THE COURTS
Please pass the word on this to all intercessors that you know. Please join us from
this Thursday, January 20 through February 28 and let's strike in intercession the
scales of justice and believe for breakthrough by March 1. Fast as the Lord leads
you; special prayer meetings would be wonderful, night watches would be appropriate.
This should be an all out assault on this issue of abortion and the courts. Let's
strike the scales with agreement and believe for a crescendo by March 1.
God bless you,
Dutch Sheets
