Chuck Pierce:
"40 Day Prayer Focus -- Initiating
Your New Season of Enlargement (Breaking Forth into the Year 5766)"
Glory of Zion International
www.glory-of-zion.org
 I
am so excited about this next prayer focus. I have broken the 40 Day Prayer Focus into
EIGHT PARTS. I have declared that when you complete all eight parts you will be initiated into
your next new beginning (of course, eight means new beginning). We have entered the new Hebraic
Year 5766. This prayer focus should bring us to the beginning of 2006.
If I could summarize the meaning of this next year in one
sentence it would be: Watch For And Recognize Your Divine Connections! In 1986,
when the Lord sovereignly gave me the vision recorded in The Future War of the Church about
the Church's changing structure for the supernatural war ahead (the one that we are now involved
in), He said,
"Know who you are connected to and warring with!"
He then showed me how the church evolves every ten years in
the changing world. We have now entered the third ten year season, and the next three years
of the war season ahead. This year is the year for maturing our connections for the future.
++++++++
RIDING THE WIND of REVELATION!
Last year we entered the "Whirlwind Season." Many of you have felt the effects of winds of change
all around you. For some of you, they have been spiritual. Others have experienced these whirlwinds
in a tangible, physical way. However, remember the Lord's will is for His wind to stir mightily
in us, causing us to roar victoriously!
Bless God for all you have experienced in this season. Since you are still here, He wants to
use every experience to define you. Now is the time that we must CATCH ANOTHER WIND
FOR 5766! We are moving into three more years where our faith dimension must rise. During
this time, do not fear the wind and the waves. You have crossed the halfway point of this season
of discipline. You will reach the other side.
However, look for the Lord to come to you in some unusual
ways. Learn the word "COME!" Jesus is going to teach us how to move forward on
the waves of change around us. When He told Peter to get out of the boat and "Come," Peter's
faith became buoyant. He was fine until he looked at his circumstances.
This year, remember when you hear the word
"come" to keep moving and not look at everything around you. These next three years determine
our future. Therefore, expect the Lord to move on your behalf.
++++++++
1 (One) Day to Bless the
Lord
So many times, we want to enter a new season without blessing God for the last season -- the
good, the bad, and the ugly. To bless is to salute, congratulate, thank, praise, or kneel down.
To bless someone, you would kneel and then speak forth and release an adoration or eulogy.
Before you enter into this next season, spend a day doing
that to the Lord. This will cause the Lord to bless or grant you favor for the next season.
Make a list of defining situations of the past year, then bless the Lord that He has sustained
you in the midst of these situations.
Watch Him as He completes one season and opens up another.
Sing a song to Him, wave your hands before Him, and let Him know that you love and trust Him
for your future. Here are some verses that will help you: Psalm 34:1, Psalm 103:1-3, Psalm
115:13, James 3:9, Psalm 145:1-2, and Psalm 71:17.
++++++++
7 (Seven) Days to Establish
Your Mind and Heart for the Season Ahead
This Hebraic year is 5766 -- the year of SAMEKH VAV. The "VAV" is the connector phrase that
connects seasons together. In Hebrew, the VAV would correspond to the English word "and". The
VAV looks like a tent peg. Think of it as a spear of revelation that is being sent from the Throne
Room to aid you in the midst of your days ahead.
There are several key points to remember:
Day 1: This is a year that the generations must connect.
Read Isaiah 59:14-21 and Isaiah 60:1-2. Let the Lord show you three generations
that you are connected with. Declare that all three will prophesy the same thing.
Day 2: This is a year that your support will come through
your key covenant connections. Therefore, the understanding of covenant is very important. Also,
watch for your supernatural covenants. Read Genesis 12, Luke 6:38, Luke 8:4-18,
and 2 Corinthians 8-9. Analyze your giving. Giving is always connected with covenant.
Covenant giving releases your future provision. Give a special offering to those that enable
you to advance on your path.
Day 3: This is a year to extend the borders of your sphere
of authority and establish your covering. Read Isaiah 54, Zechariah 14:16-21, and 2
Corinthians 10.
Day 4: This is a year to establish your building plan for
the future. Build with your covenant connections! Read Jeremiah 29-31.
Day 5: This is a year for you to look at an extended horizon
and gain revelation for your future; then, allow that revelation to overtake your past. Do not
keep looking back at your past, but allow the Lord's will for your expected end to take over
what has happened in your past (Jeremiah 29).
Expect miracles! Redeem your past so you don't repeat it!
Gain strategies of fulfillment! This is a time to let go and let God start a new cycle for
your life. Watch the Lord overtake your wasted years. Read Acts 17 and Philippians
2. Memorize Luke 1:45.
Day 6: This is a time that He has abundant POWER to release.
You will represent the King as His son/daughter this year! Read John 1 and Ephesians
1-2.
Day 7: This is a year to drive a tent peg through the enemy's
plan. Think Jael! Read Judges 4-5. Find your place in the warfare. Be like Jael.
When the enemy comes near your tent, drive your tent peg through his head (that which he is speaking
to you that is against God's plan).
++++++++
3 (Three) Days for Love
to Abound
LOVE CONNECTS! LOVE wants the best for someone and wants nothing to stop that individual
from receiving the best that God has for their lives. That would be our prayer for you as you
enter this next season (1 Corinthians 13, Luke 11-12).
Day 1: Respond to and LOVE GOD more than you have ever loved
Him. Ask Him to invade your atmosphere and understanding with His character. Read 1 Corinthians
13, Luke 11-12, and 1 John 1. Study one of the names of God! (For instance, Genesis
22, Exodus 15, Exodus 17, etc.)
Day 2: Gain a new hunger and love for His WORD. Don't
rely on past knowledge or understanding that you developed in your methodology of seeking God.
Don't assume you know everything. Be teachable. Process God based upon present truth -- not past
wisdom. This will cause you to know the wiles the enemy has developed to defeat you from advancing.
This will help you define your FIELD and sphere of authority and recognize who is in your FIELD
that is spiritually above you. Also, as you connect, know who you influence and who is influencing
you! Read Luke 13, 14 , 15 and 1 John 2.
Day 3: This is a year to love God's people more than you
have ever loved them. The Lord is developing a koinonia war fellowship mentality. The Church
is moving from just fellowship into a mighty army that will do exploits. We will find our strength
multiplied and synergized as we stay connected and advance. I am glad that we are connected and
are fighting the good fight together. Read 1 John 3-5. Memorize Leviticus 19:18 and Matthew
5:43. Pray for those in your life that are hard to love.
++++++++
1 (One) Day to Allow New
Strength to Arise
Be STRONG! Strength means the ability to withstand your next attack. Let the Lord complete
and fulfill various issues in your life that you have been waiting for. May you lack nothing.
End or conclude this season and your projects with victory! Ask for all the supply that
you need to finish strong! Declare that you are a mended NET! Declare that God's healing
grace will bathe all of your wounds and you will be healed so you can draw in harvest.
Be satisfied by Him! Maximize your resources so you are completely
filled. Then He will enlarge the place of your tent. Read Zechariah 4, Ephesians
6, and 2 Peter 2. Meditate on Isaiah 40:25-31. Stand up, raise your hands,
and receive a new wind of strength.
Let the wind blow! Those who have remained strong and faithful
can expect to prosper in a new way. Seeds you have sown are beginning to sprout forth. RECEIVE
NOW a new measure of strength and authority. Let His love overtake you. Allow faith
to increase. Let a new wind blow upon you. Do not fear your next attack for the Lord is releasing
strength NOW!
++++++++
8 (Eight) Days to Develop
A Mind For Enlargement
Because you have endured, receive great benefits! Though the FLOOD has attempted to overtake,
GOD has come in like a flood. The LORD has raised up a new STANDARD on your behalf!
Faith will now explode and create an atmosphere where things that could not happen will happen.
The word enlargement is linked with testing. Your testings produce
a testimony. Once you endure a test, your testimony will develop in your spirit man.
Your testimony overcomes.
Day 1: Do not fear testings! Read Psalm 66. Shout over every test you have
and are encountering.
Day 2: Do not try to control your own time. Let your times
be determined by the Lord. Read Exodus 34:24.
Day 3: Ask for and receive MERCY. Read Psalm 4.
Day 4: Extend mercy to others! Read Luke 10:25-37.
Ask the Lord to make you like the good Samaritan.
Day 5: Put on your favorite praise song and sing in the midst
of any barren structure that is trying to hold you. Re-read Isaiah 54:1-4, 11-14.
Memorize Isaiah 54:17.
Day 6: Be open to change! Read II Corinthians 6:11-13.
Make a list of places that you resist change. Before the Lord, acknowledge your fear of situations
getting out of your control.
Day 7: Allow your faith to increase! Read Luke 17 and 1
Corinthians 3. Memorize John 3:30.
Day 8: Receive authority! Read 1 Corinthians 12:14.
Meditate on Acts 5:12-16. Do not be afraid for the gift of God within you to begin to
operate. Pray for the sick. Decree healing.
++++++++
4 (Four) Days to Tear Down and
Get Ready To Build Up
"Then the Lord put forth His
hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: 'Behold, I have put My words in
your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to
root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.'" -- Jeremiah
1:9-10
Day 1: Desire to prophesy.
Memorize 1 Corinthians 14:1-3. Ask God to purify your speech. Let Him touch your mouth.
Let Him purify your heart so you can speak forth His word. Believe that He can use you to be
a mouthpiece.
Day 2: Ask the Lord to reveal your sphere of authority.
It may be your home, your workplace, your ministry, your state, or even a nation(s). Read Psalm
2, Psalm 84, and Luke 9.
Day 3: Ask the Lord to take an ax to certain roots that
would hold you tied to an old structure. Meditate on Psalm 94. Read Matthew 3:10-11.
Declare certain roots cut.
Day 4: Define what you are building for the future. Decree
that what you plant in this season will prosper in the seasons ahead. Read Isaiah 60.
++++++++
12 (Twelve) Days to Initiate
You into a Season of Enlarging!
This is a time to pray in a NEW WAY! Ask for and receive revelation for the next
three years. I have been praying Psalm 118:25 for you: "Send Prosperity Now!" Another
one of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 3:5-10: "Lean on,
trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own
insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will
direct and make straight and plain your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear
and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil. It shall be health to your nerves and
sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones. Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency
[from righteous labors] and with the firstfruits of all your income; so shall your storage places
be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine." (AMP)
This Scripture acknowledges the fact that the land and all its products were the gift of Yahweh
to Israel, and in thankfulness for His bounty, all the firstfruits were offered to Him. By obeying
and bringing our best to Him in worship at the beginning of each month, we will see and experience SUPPLY and HEALING released!
For instance, an offering of firstfruits, brought to Elisha,
was miraculously increased so as to feed one hundred people (2 Kings 4:42-44). God will
also meet His people in unusual ways this year to break old cycles. Notice the situation where
the man at the Gate Beautiful was healed after 38 years of bondage (Acts 3). This healing
created a great movement in God's people. This healing affected the civil government. We
are on the verge of one of the greatest moves of God in the earth since the early church.
Here are some key points from Proverbs 3:1-14 that will help you. Read and meditate on
this passage for 12 days. The number 12 means new administration. Please agree and ask the Lord
to initiate or activate each one of these scriptures into your life. Ask for grace to be transformed.
Day 1: Pray in a NEW WAY! Ask for revelation
for the next three years. When your circumstances begin to change, go with them. Do not rebel.
They will set your future for the next three years.
Day 2: Remove any wrong emotion that would cause you
to respond without the love of God! When your nerve endings are being stretched, let the love
of God come in with GRACE! God will be breaking down thought processes and stretching
them to the limit, but that is the only way to expand.
Day 3: Break any mindset that agrees with lack or selfishness.
When God says give, then give! Shut out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood. This will break
selfishness. Do not expect something of someone else that you are not willing to do. That is
hypocrisy.
Day 4: Find favor from God and from man. We must
have new favor from new people to enlarge. We need favor from Him that will cause men to seek
us out. The presence of God will cause men to favor us. Ask the Lord to position people on your
path that you can connect with and be favored by. May you be SOUGHT AFTER!
Day 5: Faith works by love. Love is the only way we will
come into a new dimension of faith. If we do not break into faith, we will not break into miracles.
You won't break into miracles just by asking for them. You must create a faith atmosphere that
is greater than the atmosphere you have been in.
Day 6: Receive health to your body and strength to your bones.
The Lord wants a testimony to manifest about nerves being healed. Memorize Hebrews 4:12 and
read Proverbs 3:1-14.
Day 7: The Lord also wants to deal with bones and structures.
Structure is linked with ENLARGEMENT! God must rearrange the structure so that you keep moving
in what He is doing. Read Ezekiel 37:1-14, along with Proverbs 3:1-14.
Day 8: Let Him rearrange our time sequencing. Time is our
biggest idol. Read and meditate on Psalm 31 along with Proverbs 3:1-14.
Day 9: May the Spirit of the Lord purify your blood this
year. The Word has to get into your bone marrow. Quote out loud Hebrews 4:12. Read it
in several Bible versions if possible.
Day 10: Honor the Lord from your wealth and from the firstfruits
of all your income. We need to understand the firstfruits principle of God. This will cause your
storage places (provision) to be filled with plenty and your vats to overflow with new wine (revelation).
Give a special offering. Read Joel 2 along with Proverbs 3:1-14.
Day 11: Don't despise your discipline this year. Because He loves us, He is pouring
out discipline (or teaching). Receive teaching for your future. Read Hebrews 12 with Proverbs
3:1-14.
Day 12: Decree that your mind is being transformed. Read Romans 12:1-2 with Proverbs
3:1-14.
++++++++
4 (Four) Days to Stake Your
Claim for the Future
Future is an interesting word that means there is a "yet" time ahead. . The concept is that we
have an end that we are expected to reach. Many people are gripped by the fear of what they perceive
in their mind that lies ahead on their path. Many have regrets from mistakes made in their past
and have a hard time believing that they still have a future. We, as God's children, should be
filled with hope. To have a future means that you are attached by a Divine cord to the heart
of God and He is giving you the hope that your end will be greater than your beginning. We should
be extending our hand to readily grasp what is ahead of us.
Day 1: Read Psalm 37. Meditate and memorize Psalm
37:37.
Day 2: Read Amos 9. Ask the Lord to give you revelation
on the Tabernacle of David.
Day 3: Read Jeremiah 29 and Daniel 4. Thank
God that He knows your path ahead and there is revelation and wisdom that He has kept sealed
for you until now. This revelation will overthrow the enemy's plans and schemes against you.
Day 4: Shout! Read Jeremiah 29:11-13 and Jeremiah
33:3 out loud. Drive a stake into the ground and declare that your future is secure. Rejoice
all day!
This is a year that the Lord is extending revelation from heaven that looks like a stake or tent
peg. Reach up and wait expectantly to receive what you need for your end to be greater than your
future. Stake your ground (your portion that the Lord has for you) and decree that the best the
Lord has for you will manifest in the three year window ahead!
May all the blessings of the year be upon you!

 Dear
Elijah List Readers and Prophetic.TV Viewers,
We have sold perhaps as many or more of Chuck's books than any single author.
Chuck is THE MOST STRATEGIC seer and writer I know. He knows times, seasons, strategies,
and many secrets of the spiritual realm. And Chuck has paid a dear price indeed to put
this information out.
Now, in this book, PROTECTING YOUR HOME FROM SPIRITUAL DARKNESS, Chuck Pierce takes
these strategies yet another step forward.
I asked Chuck about his own perspective on this book. Here are some snippets from Chuck
on this book:
"This is really a different book . . . It has an interesting balanced
approach to Culture vs. Kingdom . . . and it has more info on how to deal with your
kids --- It is a must book --- A very unique book." -- Chuck D. Pierce
The bottom line is that this is new and far reaching and you should get it...to strategically
protect your home from spiritual darkness. Parents, husbands and wives, and children...this
is for you ALL!!
-- Steve Shultz
 The
devil is crafty and he will blindside you with his evil plans as much as he can. This
book shows you how to unmask his footholds in your home and break their power once and
for all. – C. Peter Wagner, Author, Changing
Church and What the Bible Says About Spiritual Warfare
 Scripture
says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6, NIV). The enemy of
our souls is working overtime to pollute the very fabric of our culture. Many Christians
are being swept away, unaware of Satan's devices to rob them of their peace and joy and
the well-being of their homes. Like a hidden iceberg that tears a hole in a ship below
the waterline, these pollutants can tear gaping holes in homes that will threaten to
sink them. In this knowledgeable and biblical presentation, Chuck Pierce and Rebecca
Sytsema skillfully instruct us in how we can have homes that are filled with God's presence
and that are free from the sometimes subtle ways they can become polluted. – Chris
Hayward, President, Cleansing Stream Ministries
 "Protecting
Your Home from Spiritual Darkness" is a must-read for sincere Christians. Chuck
pierce demystifies a topic that is often viewed as superstitious or imbalanced. Regardless
of whether you are well versed in the concept of spiritual warfare or just beginning
to understand it, this book lays a clear foundation that will help you win the important
battles in your life. For me, the acid test of this book's value is that its principles
helped me during a cycle of sickness and depression that had attacked my family for
years. Now it is your turn. Dare to believe that you can break through into realms
of victory. – Harry R. Jackson, Jr., Coauthor, High-Impact African-American Churches,
Senior Pastor, Hope Christian Church, Washington, D.C.
 What
is a spiritual housecleaning? Chuck Pierce tells us why and how to cleanse our homes in
ways that some of us may never have considered before. I recommend "Protecting Your
Home from Spiritual Darkness" as a must-read, must-do book. – Quin Sherrer, Coauthor, A
Woman's Guide to Spiritual Warfare
This much-needed book will help you discern what you
have in your possession that would give legal right for evil spirits to indwell, harass,
and create spiritual hindrances. Most everyone needs to do some spiritual housecleaning.
Here is help for knowing where to begin and how to go about it. – Frank D. Hammond,
Author, Pigs in the Parlor and A Practical Guide to Deliverance

"Prayers that Outwit the Enemy"
by Chuck Pierce with Rebecca Wagner Sytsema
$13.99
Book

|
|
Stop the enemy dead in his tracks!
Too many Christians feel downtrodden and defeated by the enemy's minions before the battle
has even begun. The result is that while we stand passively on the sidelines, the enemy
runs completely amok. Chuck D. Pierce and Rebecca Wagner Sytsema say it's time for all
Christians to do an abrupt about-face and start learning how to outwit the enemy of our
souls.
Don't be timid or hesitant. Scripture says that we are more than conquerors through Christ.
Let Chuck and Rebecca show you how to pray with power and authority – offering prayers
of submission, confrontation, faith, wisdom, breakthrough, and more – to stop the enemy
dead in his tracks!
Put on the full armor of God and arm yourself with Prayers
that Outwit the Enemy!
 From
the Foreword: Since Chuck Pierce first mentioned it to me, I have been fascinated by
the title of this book, Prayers That Outwit the Enemy.
I remember wishing I had thought of it first! Actually, I'm glad I didn't, because no
one is as qualified to write this book as is Chuck. I do not hold this opinion based
only on his theological excellence, intellectual brilliance, or wise insights, but also
because I have marveled as I've watched him live out the truths he now writes about.
When Chuck has faced spiritual challenges and opportunities, time and again I have observed
him receive clear strategies from the Holy Spirit, process them through sound biblical
truth, and apply them with practical wisdom. Moreover, as predictably as the sunrise, I
watch the resulting fruit. Chuck has developed a remarkable ability to know when to act
and when to wait. He knows how to discern what to do and what not to do. Though at times
it looks like a sixth sense, I have come to understand that actually his heart and his
mind are well trained and acutely sensitized to the Holy Spirit. He really is a modern-day
son of Issachar: "Men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do" (1
Chron. 13:32, NASB). It is now our great opportunity to glean fruit once again from
this Spirit-led man on a subject of paramount importance: prayers that outwit the enemy.
Genesis 3:1 says of Satan: "The serpent was more crafty than any beast." The Hebrew word
translated here as "crafty" has in its etymology the concept of being bare or smooth. We
still use the concept today when we speak of someone as being cunning in a bad sense, saying
of them that they are slick, or perhaps that they are a smooth operator.
This same Hebrew word is sometimes translated as "wily," or "wilily." The New Testament,
no doubt picking up on this concept, says of Satan's perverted yet subtle abilities: "Put
on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Eph.
6:11, KJV, emphasis added). The point is clear: Satan is far more dangerous to us
as the wily serpent than as the roaring lion. He is far more effective with his slick craftiness
than with his power or strength. The first verse of Martin Luther's hymn "A Mighty Fortress
Is Our God" is very true:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
But, as Chuck teaches us in this wonderful book, that isn't the end of the story. There
is good news for us as we face our shrewd adversary: The wisdom of God infinitely supersedes
the craftiness of the serpent! The Scriptures clearly state, "He captures the wise by their
own shrewdness" (Job 5:13, NASB). Placed in the context of the cross in order to
prove His point, God confidently declares in 1 Corinthians 1:19, "For it is written, 'I
will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will set aside'" (NASB).
Yes, He outwitted Satan at the cross and that is the ultimate proof that He will outwit
him in every circumstance of our lives. Verses 2 and 3 of Luther's great hymn are equally
true and poignant:
Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
Luther would have liked this book! He knew, when facing
the evil one, how dependent we humans are on God's supernatural aid. He was also very
confident of its availability. He understood our foe, but was impressed only by our God.
So is Chuck, so am I, and so will you be after enjoying this great book. - Dutch Sheets
Chuck
Pierce is one of the most obedient, really-live-the-Word men I know. Plus, I know something
that he would never tell you. He lives a generous lifestyle, constantly giving to others,
both in resources and in prayer. Because he lives what he preaches, you can believe what
he says . . . and if he tells you how to pray "prayers that outwit the enemy" -- well,
you can take those prayers "to the bank!" But don't take my word for it . . .
-- Steve Shultz, THE ELIJAH LIST
 Chuck
has revealed the importance and power of prayer in Prayers That Outwit the Enemy by
exposing the enemy and his tactics. I recommend this book for any believer who has
found his or her prayer time to be lacking the presence of God. – John Bevere,
Author, Drawing Near and A Heart Ablaze, Cofounder, John Bevere Ministries,
Speaker, Messenger International
 There
is one thing that I guarantee will happen when you begin reading this book: You will want
to stop and pray, and perhaps unlearn how to pray. We are indebted to my good friend Chuck
Pierce, one of the most significant prophetic voices to the nations for this hour. He,
indeed, is a powerful servant of the Lord who is used mightily to pull down strongholds
and gain places of intercession for the glory of God. Prayers That Outwit the Enemy is
a lifelong learning manual to keep with you at all times, right alongside your Bible, as
you pray. Thanks, Chuck, for being faithful to feed us, stimulate us, and provoke us to
pray. It is time for the saints to outwit their enemy. – Dr. Mark J. Chironna, The
Master's Touch International Church, Orlando, Florida
 Chuck
Pierce has emerged as a credible voice to this generation with strategic insight. His book
provides prayer secrets that will unleash the power of God to accomplish the heavenly mandates
dawning in this hour. Life in the Spirit is a journey of intimacy, prayer, and Christ-like
character. Prayers That Outwit the Enemy is a great tool in this endeavor. – Paul
Keith Davis, Author, Thrones of Our Soul, Conference Speaker, Founder, White Dove
Ministries
 There
are many books available on spiritual warfare, and most of them mention our God-given weapons.
However, none of them is like this book. Prayers That Outwit the Enemy will lift
our weaponry from a shotgun level to a machine gun level. Read this book and experience
new dimensions of spiritual power! – C. Peter Wagner, Author, Changing Church and Acts
of the Holy Spirit, Chancellor, Wagner Leadership Institute
