GNCC PRAYER AND FASTING DAYS 22 TO 28By Chuck Pierce 

March 8. Day 22: Moving from Trauma or Failure to Healing and Success!

After Jesus was crucified, His disciples were traumatized. The trauma caused them to lose sight of the prophetic words that He had given about His resurrection. You find this account when He is walking on the Road to Emmaus, and the disciples walking with Him cannot SEE! Not until they commune are their eyes opened to SEE!Trauma imprints in your memory system. Trauma is processed deep into the tissues of your brain (processor) and affects your thoughts (heart). Trauma becomes the Flash Bulb that creates what you see and how you define the world around you. Traumas can produce LOCK-INS of fear, failure complexities, emotional distresses and anxieties. These “locked in” emotions can cause your organs to overwork (spleen, kidneys, and pancreas) and create adrenal failure. Every situation in your life can be “SEEN” through your unhealed and reconciled trauma. Trauma, when not processed correctly, will shape your world from the point of view of the hurtful situation and circumstance that you experienced.Tell fear and failure to go! Confusion and an unsound mind are results of a spirit of fear. The enemy does not play the game of life fairly. Trauma, when used by our enemy, will create a failure mentality, confused perspective producing dullness, deadness, lost hope, apathy and blocked emotions. Leave trauma behind and remove the dam on your BLOCKED emotions!The enemy’s goal is to VEX your spirit! You are created in the image of God. You are a whole person. He longs to sanctify your spirit, soul and body. Your inner most part is your spirit. Your spirit is your eternal part. Your spirit has three functions: Communion, Intuition and Testimony!Your conscience is the window between your spirit and soul. The conscience must be kept clean so you can SEE. During trauma, the enemy takes advantage of you so that you question God’s goodness. If he can make you say, ‘God is not good and He has withheld His promise and best from me,’ you will lose your power to see!Be healed of TRAUMA—shout today that GOD IS GOOD!Read John 5, Luke 24. Memorize I Thessalonians 5:23, Meditate on Matthew 6.

March 9. Day 23: His Word DIVIDES and WE SEE!

We are in a season where we must divide to see and multiply. What do I mean? There have been walls built, veils formed and curtains dropped that keep us from seeing. Walls have been built in relationships. Curtains have been developed to keep us from seeing the promises and blessings that await us. Veils and smokescreens have been released by the enemy so we only see half of what we should be seeing, so the question: “Behold I do a NEW thing—Do YOU not perceive it?” we may answer, “NO! I don’t see a thing.” We might say, “Everything looks the same as it last did.” Well, perhaps, everything looks even a little more blurry than before.What divides? The Word divides between the soul and spirit! Hebrews 4:12 says, “The Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…piercing to the division of soul and spirit…and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” This is in my top ten Scriptures in the Word of God. Why? This statement defines the power, the energy and the purpose of the Word of God. The Word DIVIDES! The Word is working to separate our soulish desires, inhibitions and wounds. The Word cleanses the window of our conscience, the meeting place of soul and spirit. The Word gives us Light to see through our own personality and see the BEST that God has to offer us. The Word allows us to see into eternity. The Word produces faith.The Word divides the dichotomy between self and SPIRIT. Faith works along this dividing line. We must choose trust over mistrust (Psalm 37:3, Proverbs 3:5). We must have our belief system divided. We must make daily choices between belief and unbelief (Hebrews 3:12). We must choose between loyalty and betrayal (Luke 22). Our flesh will lean toward the latter, but His life can cause us to be loyal to those leading and the position of rule that He has placed us in.His Word is our covenant book and divides us between fidelity and unfaithfulness (2 Samuel 11). His Word reveals our dependence or independence (1 Corinthians 12). His Word makes us confident and divides our insecurity (John 5:14). His Word sets the standard for our obedience and makes our disobedience known to our conscience (John 3:4; 2:5). His Word divides our fragmentation (1 Thessalonians 5:23) and makes us WHOLE. His Word creates our testimony so that we witness or keep silent and deny Him (John 5:11, Hebrews 12:1). His Word is love which causes our heart to dethrone hate (2 Thessalonians 3:5, Galatians 5:6, 1 John 2:9) and think of others more highly than ourselves.His Word produces FAITH. Faith works from our LOVE. Without our LOVE, for Him and others, our faith and vision suffer. SEE!Read and meditate on the above Scripture references.

March 10. Day 24: How Long Will You Grieve? Put on a NEW IDENTITY!

Loss is part of life… We lose loved ones, relationships, financial strength and influence. One of the most difficult losses to overcome is expectation. We have hope that something will happen in a certain way, and what we hoped for is deferred to another season. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. Another way of saying this is postponed manifestation causes us to be weakened and unable to stand firm. We grieve when we lose.There is a process connected with grief. We first experience shock, and next, we enter into denial over what we are experiencing and try to determine if the event is really happening or if we are experiencing a bad dream. However, the pain of reality sets in and we grow angry, depressed, manipulative, and even turn inward. “Why me?” becomes the identity we wear. The last phase of loss and most dangerous of all is withdrawal and loneliness. To protect ourselves from more hurt and pain, we become our only goal.When Samuel anointed Saul as king, there were expectations for him to accomplish much for Israel. Saul put on the kingly robe but never wore the identity of God’s King. Eventually, the Lord determined that for the good of the whole of His covenant people, Saul must go.When the Lord communicated this with Samuel, he grieved over the loss. The Lord asks a question that rings through the ages in all losses: ‘How long will you grieve?’ This is a question that each of us must answer. Will you wear grief and trauma from the last season as your future or will you SEE that there is NEW waiting for you? Stop, be still, and ask yourself, “What am I wearing?” If your answer is “the residue from my last season with all of the loss attached” the time is now for change!Let’s change garments. First, put on a Renewed Mind! Then add Revived EXPECTATIONS! Next, receive the garment of AUTHORITY! Add Boldness to your new garment. Remove and leave behind your last cycle of FEAR! WEAR FREEDOM! Daily walk in the SPIRIT and declare that you are a SERVANT of CHRIST and not a SLAVE to the FLESH or a HOST for DARKNESS to DWELL! Adorn yourself with FAITH! Counteract Faith Destroyers: strife, procrastination, anxiety over the future, doubt, unbelief, anger, frustration, guilt, jealousy and envy! Wear OVERCOMING REVELATION that reflects the KINGDOM! To make your new garment radiate let the Lord pour Favor on you and a GLORY that produces Momentum and ACCELERATION!We are in a new season. This is a season to SEE! This is not a time to grieve! His joy will be your strength! See yourself being reclothed for the future!Read Isaiah 41, Ephesians 4-5. Meditate on Zechariah 3-4.

March 11. Day 25: Reordered for Victory!

I have learned through the years that if I order my prayers, He will order my steps. Order is a mathematical sequencing term as well as a military term. No matter what wilderness dimension is attempting to hold you, you can SEE the order of your release and victory. “Lift up your eyes and see” (Psalm 121). You can see the victory ahead. Resist religion. God has promised that man is able to surpass himself by entering into a relationship with the One who created the world. Man, who is part of this world, can have relationship with the One who is greater than this world. He gave His Son to reveal relationship and restored access to us. We must have this sense of awe and MYSTERY as we seek the Lord, to know Him and the power of resurrection that raised His Son from the dead and seated Him in heavenly places. All of our blessings dwell with Him.There is a new order to see in worship. This is a time to rebuild the altar. Many are being repositioned to find their new place of worship.SEE victory over past structures that captivated your family. There is a new freedom coming in our lives. His BLOOD can overcome the war in your blood. Ask the Spirit of God to penetrate and remove any deep, anti-Semitic root in your bloodline. SEE a divine recovery occur in your life. Break any power of scattering. If you have been uprooted from your inheritance, ask God to sovereignly set your course of return. If your thoughts are scattered that is a curse working. Reverse the curse and plant your feet like a tree by the waters of life and be healed. Remove and break any power from past words that have been linked with fear.If you have withdrawn from warring for your promise, repent. Do not slander the land of which you have been given or make light of the promise waiting for you (Numbers 13:32–14:5). If past generations in your bloodline were confronted by God and resisted advancing into the fullness of His destiny, repent and then move forward. You are the remnant that remains to pursue, overcome and restore all.Review and meditate on these Scriptures: Ecclesiastes. 7:23-24, 8:16-17, 3:10-11 (implanted in the hearts of men the mystery), Daniel 2:27; Isaiah 40:12; Proverbs 30:2-4; Job 28:12-14, 28:20-22. Read Psalm 1, 121 and 1 Samuel 30.

March 12. Day 26: See the Miracles that are Pressing You into a Greater Glory!

My wife recently made this incredible statement: “Expecting the miraculous is one of the childlike characteristics that have to be cultivated and protected in a world full of cynicism and disappointment.” Miracles and faith must go hand and hand. Faith is related to every part of our Christian lives. By faith we receive salvation (see Ephesians 2:8-9). Faith is associated with our experiences of sanctification (see Acts 26:18), purification (see Acts 15:9), justification (see Romans 4:5; 5:1) and adoption (see Galatians 3:26; Colossians 3:24). All are dependent upon our faith. Faith comes by hearing. Hearing by the word of the Lord! There is a war of faith to hear and stand that we must enter into at times if we are to see our promises manifest. In the book of Haggai, the people began strong to rebuild but got distracted and discouraged from the warfare.The word MIRACLE is linked with the principle of WONDER! Wonderful events only God can conceive in Heaven for us to see in earth, is really what a miracle is about. A miracle (or miracles) is a supernatural manifestation of divine power in this atmospheric world that we live where special revelations of the presence and power of God are displayed. All physical events become subservient and aid His power from the Throne Room as released in and through us here in the earth realm. Once His power is released, He establishes and preserves His will and the life processes of human flesh in the world. A miracle, or His power, extends eternity into the atmosphere we live and walk.This power aligns with “the Spirit of the Lord” so “the Finger of God” (Luke 4:18; 11:20; Acts 3:12) can have His work. Miracles are “powers”, “mighty works”, “wonderful works”, and “manifestations of the power of God”. He uses His finger to touch, paint and work His will like the mighty Molder of Life that He is! He creates a new order out of a mess. He enters the natural laws of earth and redirects their actions. The supernatural finger of God rearranges what seems to us as a natural world. The whole world is filled with wonders to those who have eyes to see. The natural world everywhere is full of marvels, but we must look for the Finger that makes the natural wondrous and alive with GOD.There is a GREATER GLORY! See and enter into the NEW! Shake off all discouragement, disillusionment, and disinterest from the last season that have caused you to shrink back! If the war from the last season turned you away from pushing back completion of any project, regroup and ‘GO UP AGAIN’. Tell your EMOTIONS not to hang on to past hurts! Do not be afraid that your last pain will recur again in the NEW! Believe that your Latter can be GREATER than the former! Come UP into a NEW Spiritual Realm! GO BEYOND! A Fresh Anointing is being released as we CROSS OVER! Let go of trauma and release forgiveness! Begin to WORSHIP in a new and fresh way and interact with the angelic hosts! Decree that a NEW WAVE of Holy Spirit will overtake you! Declare the SEEDS that you have sown in the past seasons will begin to multiply and your storehouse will fill again! Recognize spiritual forces around you that have blocked the flow of the river of life!Read Haggai 1 and 2. Meditate on Joshua 3.

March 13. Day 27: See Miracles as they Happen!

Miracles happen! I pray that you are seeing your miracles as they happen! A miracle is not only wonderful but has the sense of being a “new thing”! This new thing awakens us to a Divine Power that our eyes were unable to see. His Finger and working power has an appropriate place in the great plan and purpose of lives that have been knitted together in Him. Miracles produce revelation. What we could not normally see, we now see!Faith sees when miracles happen! Faith was one of the main thrusts of Jesus’ ministry. In the Gospels, we continually find statements such as “Your faith has healed you.” In Jesus’ hometown, He could not do mighty miracles because the people there lacked faith. He wasn’t powerless to do so, but the atmosphere in that place prevented our Lord from exhibiting the power of faith. However, when He found men and women of faith, He released His power, and miracles took place. God assures us that if we believe, then nothing is impossible, and He withholds nothing.Move into the next season with a mentality of increase! Miracles happen! Expect visitation! Remove all distractions! Choose the one thing! (Luke 10) Let the Lord REORDER your day! Meditate day and night on His Word! Meditation produces success! Find your place in God’s Kingdom government plan! Ask Holy Spirit to reveal your new supply lines! War with prophetic words that will unlock your seeds sown in the Kingdom!Review these Scriptures: John3:3-5; Luke 17:21; Matthew 13:11; John 18:36; Luke 11:1-4; 7:21. Meditate on Luke 10, Hebrews 11.

March 14. Day 28: Going Beyond!

I hope you are now seeing in a new way! The past 28 days have been about seeing. Recently Tiffany Smith came forward and prophesied, “There is power in son-ship. I won’t relent until you get to the place I’ve destined for you. I won’t relent. I am committed to you.” Until the day Jesus returns, He is committed to you—every day, every step, every purpose. There is a place called “Beyond” that the Lord is calling you to. See your place called “Beyond” and start pressing toward that place.These are some Key Principles to understand so you can SEE Your Promises Manifest:• The Voice WHO CREATES order from chaos!
• Our call to DOMINION! Man’s call to watch, multiply and worship!
• The serpent’s subtle voice!
• Abraham’s Covenant and testing on Mount Moriah! Your covenant rights!
• The Burning Bush! The Call to Cleanse the Heavens!
• The Power of Passover! The Blood!
• Seeing Abundance! The Journey to the Promise land!
• The Restoration of David’s Tabernacle! 
• The Celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, the Feast of Trumpets).
• The Virgin Birth of Jesus, our REDEEMER! The WORD becoming flesh!
• Jesus’ sacrifice and Surprise of the Cross creating the enemy’s defeat!
• The Demonstration of the Power that RAISED JESUS from the DEAD!
• How to see and co-labor with Angels! An Open Heaven!
• The Lion of Judah and the Triumphant Remnant!“Follow ME!” These two words will cause you to SEE! Do not be afraid to come and see your future! Surrender to the Lord, receive His Spirit, and follow! 

GNCC PRAYER AND FASTING -315- 21 DAYSBy Chuck Pierce 

March 1. Day 15: “Cycles of Infirmity Must GO!”

This is a time to break destructive cycles. A “cycle” is an interval during which a recurring sequence of events happens. A cycle can also be a periodically repeated sequence of events, something that happens over and over at a certain time. A cycle can be linked with a time or an event and orchestrated supernaturally so that a repeating wound or injustice occurs from generation to generation. Satan loves to keep us going around the same mountain or hold us in a cyclical pattern. But God has a remedy for iniquity. By embracing the Blood and redemptive sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, we can break out of any old pattern.As we prepare for a new level of freedom we must deal with forces that wish to keep us captivated in an old season. We have looked at how poverty attempts to create a stronghold to keep us from seeing our prosperity. Now, let’s look at how infirmity, from wars, tries to keep us from standing strong. Infirmity is a term that encompasses more than just sickness and disease. Infirmity is also related to suffering and sorrow. Matthew 8:16-17 states that Jesus “cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who \\were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: ‘He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses’” (see also Isaiah 53:4). Infirmity can also refer to a disability of one kind or another. Infirmity can occur as a result of moral or spiritual defects that cause our will to stray from God. Infirmity can be related to the influence of an evil spirit (see Luke 13:11).Infirmity can also be linked to an overall weakness in our bodies or with anything that created the weakness, such as grief. Romans 15:1 states that those “who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength” (NASB). This weakness is infirmity. Not only did Christ bear our weaknesses and infirmities, but we are also called to bear the weaknesses and infirmities of our brothers and sisters in the Lord. This is called intercession. Romans 8:26 says, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (KJV).We have been called to intercede for the sick, which allows us to bring before the Lord someone weaker than ourselves. As we move into this season, we must start addressing those forces that have been sent by satan to hinder us from seeing our destiny manifest.Read Luke 13, 18. Memorize Psalm 107:20. Meditate on Psalm 103:1-6.

March 2. Day 16: “A Generational Understanding!”

Infirmity can be a generational issue. I know in my life the Lord had to show me this by His Spirit. People are often confused about how generational iniquity works. In Possessing Your Inheritance, there is a great chapter on this. If you do not have that book, I strongly suggest you purchase it. I believe that a brief overview of this subject in the context of the cycle of infirmity might be helpful here.To fully understand generational iniquity, we need to first understand how DNA makes the blueprint of our body. DNA causes traits from one generation to be passed on to the next generation. As the cells in an embryo divide and multiply, they do so according to the structure of the base pairs in the DNA. The combination of these base pairs provides the hereditary instructions for how each cell will be coded in order to accomplish that cell’s specific purpose. As cells continue to multiply, groups of cells come together to form tissues. Tissues, in turn, form organs. Blood cells are pumped through the body, providing oxygen to each organ to enable it to survive. The cells in our stomachs work together in digestion. The cells in our brains work together as we study and pursue knowledge.When the sperm and egg unite and a new life is formed, already programmed into the makeup of that person is God’s redemptive plan. However, we must remember that we are born in iniquity, so the iniquitous inherited traits that will resist that plan from coming into fullness, is already programmed in us. But God!Our blood begins to war with itself from the time of conception. Since cells are dynamic, an iniquitous pattern in a cell’s DNA can affect our entire physical and mental makeup. If something is passed on in our DNA that has been “twisted” or linked with iniquity, that message is multiplied wrongly in our beings.The Spirit of God can come into our lives so that we can become sons of God (see Galatians 3:26). As we submit and yield our lives to the Spirit’s work, He flows through our blood and cleanses our consciences from the thought processes linked with the iniquitous patterns in our bloodlines. Hebrews 9:14 states, “How much more, then, will the Blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!” (NIV)In my case, there was a generational weakness that had aligned itself with loss and trauma. But God! Once I began to see those weaknesses and define the losses that they were attached to, I could then pray and break a power that had me “bent over” and unable to stand fully. I confessed those patterns as sin. You might say, Well, I had nothing to do with these sins. However, we must understand that repentance is a gift and grace of God that causes us to turn from one way of thinking and be transformed to think like Christ. Once you repent, you renounce the power of its effect. In my own life, this set me on a new road to health.I have had trusted doctors and praying friends who have helped me greatly in developing a new order in my life. Each doctor played his role in diagnosing my condition. However, it was the Spirit of God that had begun to change me greatly from the inside. He is there now to start revealing things to you and cause you to “see” how weakness and loss are related.Read John 5. Read Mark 2.

March 3. Day 17: “Jesus Heals—Press Through and SEE His Power!”

I wish I could say that I have never been sick again since I started “seeing” how infirmity works with loss and trauma. However, since that time, a power to resist sickness has become resident within me. When the power of infirmity comes against me, I submit to God, resist the devil and watch him flee.Jesus healed sick people. This was one of His major ministries. He dealt with many organic causes of illness and individuals affected by madness, birth defects and infections. The blind, the deaf, the lame and others who suffered approached Him for help. I especially love the story of the woman with the spirit of infirmity who “pressed through” in Mark 5:25-34. She is an incredible example of personal overcoming. She overcame the religious structure of the day, the reproach of being a woman and the stigma of being unclean. She pressed through to touch the Lord. This caused the Lord to release “virtue” (King James Version; “power” in the New King James Version) from His own body that healed her condition.In the Hebraic culture of the day, most people believed that illness was the direct consequence of sin (see John 9:1-3). However, Jesus shifted this concept by healing a blind man who had been sick since birth. When Jesus’ disciples asked, “Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered that the sickness was not related to the man or his parents, “but that the works of God should be revealed in him” (John 9:3). Many wrong choices produce consequences that affect our body, but Jesus came to extend grace to bring us out from the bondage of the punishment of sin and into healing and wholeness. He had the power to both forgive sin and to heal (see Matthew 9:1-8; compare Mark 2:1-12; Luke 5:17-26).On several occasions, Jesus used His own saliva as an ointment or anointing (see Mark 7:32-35; 8:22-25; John 9:6-7). I find this fascinating—one of the primary ways that DNA is collected for testing is through saliva samples. Jesus took His own saliva, placed it on the eyes of the blind and watched their eyes form. He also healed those who suffered from mental illnesses and epilepsy—sicknesses usually associated with demonic powers (see Mark 9:18). The Lord addressed issues of fever and dysentery (see Matthew 8:14-15). Sterility and barrenness were also major issues in Biblical times. Regardless of the cause of their distress, people found that Jesus could truly help.He is there for you. Be like the woman above and “press through” all the structures stopping you from experiencing freedom and “seeing” a new wholeness and peace that is waiting for you.Read Matthew 9. Read John 9.

March 4. Day 18: “Get Off Your Treadmill and Enter the Field of Prevention”

One key to overcoming any strategy of the enemy is discipline and prevention. Prevention was the most important dynamic of combating disease in Biblical times. Many of the laws that the Lord established in Biblical times actually aid in preventing and combating various illnesses. Diet is one of the most important facets of health, which is why we find a number of laws relating to diet (see Leviticus 11). Wine was also used to help stop problems and alleviate pain and discomfort (see 1 Timothy 5:23). We also find the use of ointments and salves in Biblical times that were used for healing (see Isaiah 1:6). James instructed the combined use of oil, confession of faults and spiritual authority to produce healing (see James 5:14).In a world of chemical stimulation and overwhelming stress, it is a wonder that any of us remain healthy. Stress has such impact on our bodies—both physically and spiritually—that without the Lord as our strength, it would be impossible for us to live in this world. Jesus told us to be in the world, but not of it (see John 17:11, 14). Do we need doctors? Yes, we need anyone who has developed specialty in understanding. Doctors are trained to understand dynamics of the world that can give us wisdom on how to be in the world.Most doctors understand cycles. If medical doctors begin to take a Biblical approach toward an individual—that of seeing the individual made whole—they will be able to find the root cause of that person’s problem and not only help to heal that individual, but also help to prevent disease in the future. With doctoral skill in prevention and advances in medicine, individuals can better reverse deficiencies that have created paths of decay. Why do we need doctors? Because they can validate what God is doing in a skeptical world.One of my favorite books is Dr. Gallagher’s Guide to 21st Century Medicine: How to Get Off the Illness Treadmill and on to Optimum Health. In this book, Dr. Gallagher says, “The body is a miraculous system equipped with an innate ability to achieve balance and health. We have, within each of us, the ability to work with, and nourish, this God given gift.” Dr. Gallagher suggests a healthier diet, nutritional and herbal supplements, identifying and eliminating hidden food allergies and chemical sensitivities, a simple detoxification program to get rid of harmful toxins in the body, chiropractic manipulation, and following sensible health rules.He also gives instructions on how to break an old cycle, or “treadmill,” which he defines as: Something that you run or walk on and get nowhere. An illness treadmill is something that snares you in an endless web of diagnoses, tests, prescriptions, and procedures and gets you nowhere, or even makes you sicker… Once you are on the treadmill, you may get some temporary relief from symptoms. But all too often the cause of your problem is ignored, so things just get worse. Meanwhile, the treatments used to suppress the symptoms often cause side effects and new symptoms. Dr. Gallagher suggests finding the root of the illness and breaking the cycle.My prayer for each of us is that we get off any treadmill holding us captive. If we are on a “treadmill,” we can only see from the perspective of the treadmill. I declare that we break old cycles and begin running and jumping in a wide, enlarged field of freedom.Read Leviticus 11. Meditate on 1 Timothy 5:23. Memorize James 5:14.

March 5. Day 19: “Broken Spirits Can Be Healed!”

Illness and infirmity were a pattern in my life. Growing up with weakness and sickness was a way of life for me. Severe allergic reactions, bronchial asthma, stomach ulcers, and overwhelming migraines became the norm. Doctors tried many things. I was actually taking Valium by the time I was in the 4th grade. From the time I became filled with the Spirit, I had learned how to resist the power of sickness. Yet, I had never really overcome the power of infirmity in my life. In the early 1990s, I received some bad reports concerning my esophagus and colon—they were damaged and creating a very dangerous situation in my life. The Lord took me through a series of bad diagnoses from doctors. Then, because of my internal situation, my body began to reject anything that entered it and to treat it as an allergen. I began to experience anaphylactic shocks. I was miserable! At this point, I was very concerned about my future.At the National School of the Prophets that was being held in Baltimore, Maryland, in 2001, Cindy Jacobs, a friend of mine, shared with me that she believed my sickness was related to the trauma I had experienced while growing up. She believed that my father’s decaying leadership in our family and his premature death still held power over me. My first impression was, “How could this be? I have gone through so much deliverance. I have even written a book about overcoming the loss that had occurred in our family.” I came home from Baltimore very ill and unable to digest any food. My brother, Keith, was teaching Sunday School and gave me a call after his class. He said, “While I was teaching my class, the Lord told me that the sickness that you are experiencing is related to the loss of our dad.” I thought to myself, “Why isn’t my brother ever sick? My dad was his dad also.” So I asked him this question. He responded, “You had a different emotional tie with Daddy than I. His loss wounded and affected you in a way that it did not affect me.”This was an eye-opening statement for me. I fell before the Lord and began to ask Him how to break this generational iniquity of infirmity that was linked with the trauma of loss that I had experienced in my life. Since that time, the Lord has led me on a journey of understanding how trauma affects our DNA and weakens our spirit. One verse that has become a life verse for me is Proverbs 18:14: “The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, but who can bear a broken spirit?” A broken spirit occurs when life’s difficulties crush our abilities to resist. Jesus came to heal our bodies. However, we find that His desire for us is to become whole in body, soul and spirit. When the Lord showed me the power of trauma, I could SEE how my past was continuing to hold this infirm spirit in place.Whatever way you choose for healing as you follow God, find the root cause of your infirmity, and press through into the healing process. During my time of infirmity, I had to make a choice to follow the Lord to Nigeria. Dr. Peter Wagner was leading a gathering there with key apostolic leaders from the nation. I always serve Peter whenever he requests me to be somewhere, but the thought of traveling to Nigeria in my condition was difficult to reconcile. Yet Peter encouraged me to go. He even said, “Because of how the power of God is moving there, perhaps you will get healed.” He was right. I overcame my fear of going to a foreign nation while I was ill. I went to Nigeria, and during a prayer meeting (of 10,000 people), the Spirit of God came. When communion was served, those who were sick were invited to come forward. I was the first in line. When I participated, I felt a curse of infirmity leave my body.With all disorders, we must seek the help of the Holy Spirit for wisdom. There are times when a person is in such a state of depression or agitation that he or she is unable to receive ministry until medication is administered. I have dealt with people who refused medication because they believed it meant they didn’t have faith. I have talked with ministers who refused to minister deliverance to someone who was on medication because it was mind altering. If it is altering the mind to be able to think coherently and focus, then they should be able to receive ministry. The good news is that there is help for people with emotional and mental problems. Look for the cycles and be prepared to break them. God can break through any structure and start mending your broken spirit. Let’s ask Him to show us how trauma is affecting our ability to SEE the future!Memorize Proverbs 18:14.

March 6. Day 20: “SEE—The New is Beginning! You Will BE!”

We have entered a time to see, gain sight and vision! Light comes! When light comes, we see! Light is truth and revelation that causes our destiny and the world around us to unfold. Once we enter into acceptance of the revelation that is coming, our path gets brighter and brighter! Light rises on you and causes you to get up! Glory and light align to cause you to rise above depression and oppression that have caused you to NOT SEE your new day form! Where despair was, hope springs forth! Hope leads to faith! Faith sees! Your conscience sees. Light floods your body! Faith overcomes!The eye of the Lord is watching. This is a time of seeing eye to eye…face to face! This is a time to look again! Things become seeable! The Word is Aperture! There is a flash of light that causes your way to open. Like a camera, you capture God’s vision for you. You see your identity as you were meant to be. The flash is quick, but you see for a moment and you see enough to grab the best you were created for!From your new place of faith you walk forward! You enter the race! You press toward the mark! You cross the line to enter again! This becomes your cycle of life. This is how you keep operating in a new, fresh identity. You never grow old in the Spirit. Your spirit remains renewed.This is a time to transform—to metamorphose. Where you could not SHOUT, now SHOUT GRACE at the top of your lungs. Grace becomes the key to your life. You are energized! This shout of grace addresses mountains that blocked you in the last season. You leap to the top of those mountains that blocked you, and you thresh them until they become a plain. You become!Read Isaiah 41. Memorize Isaiah 41:15. Meditate on Zechariah 4.

March 7. Day 21: “I Will Surprise You as You Follow Me and Worship!”

“I will surprise you as I begin to manifest Myself in the month ahead. I will cause something that seems dead to begin to burn again. Turn and see. Turn away from your agreement with what you thought you were caught in, and TURN TO ME. I am burning again and you will be ‘uncaught’ and hear your next word from Me.”You thought you were going to worship in one way, but I had to open a gate in Heaven to create a different way of worship in you. There is a sound in you. Let the sound rise to Me on a daily basis as I begin a new movement around you. This sound will create movement and you will SEE Me in a new way. If you had remained in last season’s worship, you would have grown cold. Now, a new way of worship in Heaven is opening up and My people will worship Me in new ways with new sacrifices in the month ahead. You will shout, ‘Let me GO that I might worship in a new way.’ Throw your hands out, for I AM going to fill them in a new way. You were tied up one way, but I am beginning to let you go free. Follow Me and you will SEE!”Listen carefully, for your rams are already positioned in the bush. Listen carefully, for you will sacrifice to Me differently. This is where you are held captive. You will sacrifice to Me in a new way. There is a trumpet blowing and announcing. Hear your ram in the bush. It will be the sound of your sacrifice. When you sacrifice the fat of a ram, and you begin to sacrifice what I bring to you, it will open up the sound and give you the trumpet that you need to speak to set your course in the Heavens for the future. Get ready, for the fire gate is now opening.”As you take every assignment you’ve been given, you will begin to open up in a new way. Whatever I tell you to put your hand to, do that with all your heart. I will then add more and more for your hands to use.”The pupil of your eye is opening so it can receive more light. The way you were seeing is opening so you see more light, rightly dividing to see what you did not see before. I AM is opening your eyes so you see the doors and entryways that were hidden in the last season. Your eyesight is adjusting now. What you need to see is already caught and waiting on you. Your eyesight is adjusting. Things have narrowed your vision and you have not seen or ordered things to move on you the way I want to move. Because you are going to worship Me in a new way and bring the fat to the altar, when you still your heart and emotions, I will allow you to hear the new sound that is waiting for you. I will allow you to see and hear the supply that is caught up in the bush. Bring the fat to the altar and the supply in the bush will come alive and rattle. Bring the fat to the altar and that which is in the bush will come alive.”Read Genesis 22 (again). Read Exodus 2, 3, and 6. Memorize Hebrews 4:12.
