Chuck Pierce: "RECEIVE THE BLESSINGS OF ADAR--SHOUT 'MY FEAR SHALL LAUGH!'"
"This is time to overthrow decrees that have been set against God's covenant people that would stop us from corporately advancing."
 Be blessed and filled with the Spirit of God. May you have favor with the Lord and with all of those in your path. This is the Month of Adar (February 18, 2007-March 19, 2007, the year Samekh Zayin). The Lord designed time with a built-in blessing for us to claim and walk in! Over the past weekend, I sensed the Spirit of the Lord instruct me to write and release the blessing of this month over you. There is great power in blessing. If you will receive the blessing of God each month, the power of the blessing will begin to work in your life and develop your identity. You will eventually go "from blessing to blessing until blessings overtake you."
Be Swift to Praise
Every month is linked with an understanding of one of the twelve tribes. Each tribe has a redemptive blessing. We are grafted into the blessings of Abraham and his descendents. This is a month linked with the tribe of Naphtali, "a deer (hind) let loose." The blessing of Naphtali included the concept of being swift and the ability to harvest quickly.
The crops of the allotted land for this tribe would ripen swiftly. During the war with Sisera under Deborah's leadership, the valiant warriors of Naphtali were nimble, quick, and played a leading role in Israel's victory. Naphtali was filled with praise because of the abundance of produce from its tribe's crops. They were more quick and agile than any other tribe and their communication secured Jacob's inheritance. On Galilee's mountains, this troop "brought good tidings" of Jesus (Isaiah 52:7).
One of the best verses to shout out loud this month is, "The Lord will make my feet like hinds' feet." We should decree that we will skip and jump on the mountains of the circumstances in our lives. We should decree that our fortunes can increase and become strong. This is the month that joy must increase so we are propelled into a season of deliverance.
Remove the Mask of Sadness and Turn to Laughter
 "Declare deliverance from any deep hidden grief."
This is the month of the sense of laughter, abounding joy, the power of barrenness being broken, the advantage of light over darkness, and witnessing how light and revelation break the power of darkness around us. Decree any curse that has been spoken and set against you will be overturned. Declare the bitter will become sweet. Shout: "My Fear shall Laugh!"
This is a month to celebrate! Declare deliverance from any deep hidden grief. Ask the Lord for joy and laughter to arise in your emotions. Declare your emotions are healed and restored.
A Month for Transformation and a Healed SPLEEN
Your true identity should be reflected this month. There is an identity for you in the invisible world that gives you authority. Guard yourself from idolatry. Begin to change your wardrobe--both spiritually and physically! The Lord made the body and relates His Body to our body.
This is a month that we should concentrate on the spleen. Ask the Lord to heal your spleen. The spleen is a very important organ. The spleen works with the stomach to produce an accurate and efficient digestive system. The spleen plays an essential role in the transportation and transformation of nutrients. The spleen controls the blood flow. If you are overly anxious, your spleen is probably not working efficiently. An inefficient spleen is responsible for heightened anxiety and muscle weakness.
The stomach digests the food we eat, and then the nutrients are transformed by the spleen. Then the nutrients are transported to all parts of the body. These nutrients are used for production of blood and body fluids. Chronic fatigue and digestive disorders are, many times, linked to a dysfunctional spleen. Lack of energy can produce depression and fatigue, and fluid build-up and stagnation causes toxins to poison the blood system.
Pray the following:
1. Declare that any root of depression and despair break off. I suggest a fruit and vegetable diet for 3 days.
2. Bind any confused communication or miscommunication. Declare your words and expressions will be clear.
3. Ask the Lord to remove your worry and anxiety over supply. This is the month to overturn worry through the release of supply. Declare that you will find your supply in "hidden" dimensions.
4. This is the month that we should mount up and be at our strongest peak. Declare anything that is robbing your joy will be detected and removed. Declare that you will be stronger by mid-March than you were at the beginning of the month. Read Exodus 23 and Isaiah 40. Wait for the Lord's saving grace to be released in a new way and divine judgment to work against your enemies.
Let the Deliverers of the Future Awaken to the Call of God Today
This is a time for leadership to awaken. Adar was the month that Moses was born. Your deliverance is forming. This Pharaoh (in Exodus 1) had an anti-Semitic heart. His goal was to destroy all of Israel by removing the male children that would be the future leaders of Israel. His decree that every newborn son was to be cast into the river resulted in a death curse on the wombs of the Hebrew mothers.
Moses was God's prophetic choice to redeem Israel. The astrologers of Egypt thought that the deliverer of the Jewish people would suffer misfortune through water (The Book of Our Heritage, Volume Two: Adar--Nisan, Feldheim Publishers, 1996, p 358). That is why, I believe, Pharaoh decided to have all the newborn boys thrown into the water. Moses' mother redeemed this curse by trusting God and placing her son in the water. Trusting in God is one of the ways that you overthrow a curse.
One of the keys to Moses' life was that he was ordained as a prophet from birth. Even though his insecurity would tell him he could not speak, God had ordained him as a prophet. His mother and father's faith would eventually result in delivering all of Israel. This would also give Moses authority to split the sea for the escape of God's people. He also would receive the Law that would set the commandments and boundaries for mankind. There are new boundaries for you to obtain this month. Let the prophetic gift arise in you. Let a new level of deliverance begin.
Faith Overthrows the Enemy's Decrees
This is a time for decrees set against you to be broken. At the beginning of the year when we were worshipping at Starting the Year Off Right in Denton, I heard the Spirit of God say:
"There is an intense period of prayer and fasting coming to the Body. Ten days of travail will come upon My people in March. This period will be your shifting time for the season of revival that is now upon you. This will be a period of removal. This will be a period of restoration. This will be a period of preparing the way and setting the course for the future. This will be a time to go through narrow, confining places in your life. By pressing through the confining places, I will begin to define your future.
I will remove weakness, infirmity, and that which has bent you over and kept you from advancing in the past. This will open the door for spiritual BREAKTHROUGH--even doors that have been sealed tight. Do not fear the intensity of this time in your life, but receive My strengthening. I will remove religious spirits that are stopping My Kingdom from advancing. This is a time for your enemies to be fully defined, and strategy developed for their exposure and overthrow."
A Month Filled with Hidden Blessings
 "This is a time to remember that in the midst of hostility we can be prepared for 'such a time as this.'"
Esther and Mordecai worked together for Deliverance! Haman, who used astrology and the casting of lots, was overthrown by God's ordered timing. God is raising up new Mordecais and Esthers to influence the world in days ahead. These individuals will do radical exploits in His name. In the time of Esther, we find that the enemy had entered the gates and was planning to overthrow the covenant blessings God had for this people. In the book of Esther, Mordecai had exposed the enemy's plan and taken his authority at the gate. The Lord says in Matthew 16:18, "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." This is not a time for hell to prevail at your gate.
Esther is a book where we can see an example of the legislation of God's covenant plan for a people at the gates of a city. The gate of a city was where all business transactions and legal matters occurred. The city gate was also the place where entrance into the city was permitted or forbidden. A Biblical gatekeeper was one who guarded access to a place. Mordecai was a good gatekeeper. He knew the enemy had a plot and plan. He overheard the plan linked with Haman to annihilate God's covenant people in the land. Haman had prepared a noose for God's covenant people.
The enemy will attempt to set a decree against you. Mordecai also knew he had to have a connection to prevent the enemy's plan from prevailing. Esther was his connection who had been positioned by God for "such a time as this." Many of you are being positioned to see the plan of the enemy. Others of you are being positioned to be the connecting point to overthrow the enemy. I am praying for you that any plot of the enemy to try and stop the covenant blessings of your inheritance from coming forth in your life would be revealed. Find your divine connections and overthrow the enemy's plan!
This is time to overthrow decrees that have been set against God's covenant people that would stop us from corporately advancing. Those anti-Semitic decrees hate God's sovereign plan for the Jews as well as Christians that have been grafted into that plan. Nations that profess Christianity must rise up now. Esther prayed and fasted three days prior to setting the wheels in motion to overthrow the enemy's plan. She had faith to go into the King's court because she was fully prepared at the end of these three days of fasting.
Fasting helps prepare you for what you must face for your victory ahead. Esther was at the right place, at the right time, and did the right thing. Therefore, she had victory over the enemy. Your faith can overthrow any decree the enemy has established against you. The enemy prepares a noose to tighten around God's promised plan for your life. Faith breaks the power of that noose. Declare your Haman's noose will begin to break.
Men and women must work together this hour to defeat the enemy's plan. Women who have been disciplined and prepared have FAITH and boldness to overthrow determined destruction of the enemy. One of the greatest examples of preparation is found with Esther. The word "prepare" means "to make or get ready, to put together, to produce a frame for a future building, to gird oneself for action." This is a time to remember that in the midst of hostility we can be prepared for "such a time as this." Through preparation and discipline the favor of God can rest upon us. Esther went in to the king, gained favor and grace in his sight, and was exalted into the royal position of queen.
What does this say to us? If we allow the anointing of God to rest upon us and allow the beauty of holiness to surround and transform us, we can gain great favor. If we allow bitterness to cause the fragrance of the Lord to rise from us, we can have great influence in days ahead. We are seeing a generation of women arising that represent and demonstrate this same characteristic of Esther. Godly, obedient, grace-filled women are being positioned to overthrow the enemies of the future.
Face Your AMALEKITE and Break the Power of His Noose
The celebration of Purim begins on Saturday, March 3. Purim, of course, is the story of how Esther overcame Haman. Haman was an Amalekite. The Amalekites would come behind the army and begin to pick off the stragglers. The word Amalekite means "to toil or work under hard labor." This is a time for you to break out of legalistic, hard labor.
The Amalekites were a nomadic tribe of formidable people that first attacked the Israelites after the Exodus at Rephidim. Amalek, the grandson of Esau (Genesis 36:12), inhabited the desolate wasteland of the northeast Sinai peninsula and the Negev. They were the first to attack Israel after the Exodus (Numbers 24:20). This is where the Lord revealed Himself as Jehovah Nissi. He declared that we would war with Amalek from generation to generation.
The antichrist spirit today is linked into this Amalekite spirit. Israel won the initial battle (Exodus 17:8-16), but later was driven back into the Sinai wilderness by a coalition of Amalekites and Canaanites (Numbers 14:39-45). Because of their atrocities, God commanded Saul to exterminate the Amalekites (1 Samuel 15:2-3). Saul disobeyed, and the Amalekites were not defeated completely until late in the eighth century B.C. (1 Chronicles 4:43). Haman the Agagite (Esther 3:1-10; 8:3-5) thought by the Jews to be Amalek's descendant, from whence sprung Haman's hatred toward their race.
Prepare yourself and watch your Haman be hung on his own gallows. Break all compromise. This simply means, during these next days, your enemy will overplay his hand and you will end up victorious! Cross over and watch your new doors form!
Brian Kooiman, my assistant sent the following: "The Lord is releasing new revelation on strategies to overthrow the enemy's plan. There were two things I was quickened over. There are times when we cannot "win" by pressing to overturn/reverse an unrighteous decree. Whereas this is usually the norm (and what we press for in the laws of our nation), Esther gives one example where a bad and evil law was irrevocable (according to the laws of the Medes and Persians). So the strategy the Lord gave to her (through the pagan king) was to make another law which would stand against the first law, and enable deliverance and life to come to the Jews." In this "Purim Month" the Lord may be releasing similar strategies whereby we can counteract and overcome evil edicts and laws in our society and nation."
Securing victory and overthrowing our enemies can often involve several stages of war. Whereas Esther and Mordecai successfully warred to secure a decree that would allow the Jews to protect themselves, this was only another step in their deliverance. It's quite possible the Jews could have survived the day that their enemies hoped to overpower them, solely based on the new level of fear their enemies had for the Jewish people. However, if they had not gone on the offensive and destroyed their enemies as their decree allowed them to, they would not have secured lasting protection. In that case, in due time, under new leadership (like the Hebrews in Egypt with a new pharaoh), the Jews could have been oppressed and targeted for destruction once again.
In this Seven Year War Season, we must not be content to settle for preserving victories and the issuing of righteous decrees. Rather, we must fully war to the end of our battles to see complete deliverance and victory enforced, and the opposite of the enemy's plans occur. So along with the book of Joshua, Esther provides one of the clearest examples for the role of war to secure rest from one's enemies.
 Receive the blessing of this month and enter into new strength!
Blessings,
