DREAM: CIVIL GOVERNMENT MUST SUBMIT TO GOD'S PERFECT TIMING

By Chuck Pierce http://www.glory-of-zion.org/

October 1, 2001

A dream is one of God’s key ways of communicating with His people. I have always noticed in my life, which can be hectic at times, this is one way that God will give me a clear message once my mind and emotions are quiet. On Monday, September 24, I dreamed the following:

THE U.S. PUZZLE

I was standing looking at a huge lake. The lake was covered with a coat of thin ice. A puzzle piece would drop from heaven and I would walk out upon the icy lake and put the piece in place. Before long, I recognized the puzzle that was covering the lake was a map of the United States. I finally laid the last piece of the puzzle in place. It was the state of New Mexico. Once I did that, it was as if I ascended three levels into the heavens. The best way to describe this ascension was a staircase that would go up. At each floor there was a meeting room where I would watch a counsel convening and discussing their plans. I would then walk up to the next level. These meetings were governmental type meetings. I would watch these meeting as they occurred.

THREE LEVELS OF COUNCIL MEETINGS

The first government council was the council of the enemy. His government was unable to see the plan of destiny that was in place over nation. In this meeting they continued to plan and plot their wicked schemes over how to disrupt and bring chaos. On the next floor was the council of civil governments. These were able to better understand the present times and issues regarding the United States, and were discussing how to protect this nation. The third floor held the council of God. His government had been called into council over how to advance His Kingdom in the United States.

"I BEGAN TO YELL, 'NOT YET! NOT YET!"

On this floor I was able to walk into the council and see all the key issues regarding the United States and its future. Because I was at a higher level, I could fully see the key places in the United States where the Church needed to reinforce itself. I could also see key cities that needed to be at “watch� carefully against the enemy’s plan. It seemed as if I could also see the time frame that was necessary for the Church to intercede so that the wisdom of God could come into full maturity and be executed in the earth realm. While I was watching from this third floor, someone from the second floor began to approach the puzzle map that was in place upon the lake. I began to yell, “ Not yet! Not yet!� He could not hear my voice, proceeded without caution, causing the ice to break and the entire puzzle plan fell into the lake.

I awakened.

INTERPRETATION:

"I AM CALLING MY PEOPLE INTO INTERCESSION NOW!!"

The Spirit of God began to speak to me and give me a portion of the interpretation of the dream. He said, “I have a clear plan for America. I am calling the Body of Christ into a new, mature strength. I am calling My people into intercession NOW. This plan will produce victory in days ahead, and will bring justice that will affect the world. I am calling My people to pray for the civil government of this land. I am a God who puts leaders in place. I have positioned the leadership of this nation for such a time as this.

Even though the civil government is gaining a clearer direction of My purpose, the plan that is forming and maturing is on very thin ice at this time. The civil government of this nation has developed a unity and is gaining timely wisdom. Unless my people pray, this plan will not be in firm place to advance, and much destruction can occur. If My people who are called by My name will pray, not only will I heal and secure their land, but from their land I will touch the world in an incredible way, reveal My Glory, and call forth My inheritance in every nation. I can foil the plans of the enemy that are set against cities in this nation and cause many cities to experience a sweeping move of My Spirit. However, the civil government of this nation must move in My perfect timing.

THE ISSUE: WHAT TO DO AT A DISTINCT MOMENT IN TIME

The issue of revelation is knowing what to do at a distinct moment in time, who to go to, what to say, and when to say it. If the Church does not surround the civil government of this land at this time, it will move out of My perfect timing and the ultimate plan for this nation will be postponed. I call My Church to follow the leadership of My Son for He is the Head of the Body. If they will lay down their doctrinal differences and cry out to me, they will not only keep the civil government in My perfect timing, but they will cause the enemy to be blinded and unable to prosper in evil plans of destruction.�

PROPHETIC WISDOM FOR PRAYER:

I see the Church needs to be at full alert at this time. I see this as a time of revelation. I see that the Lord is calling together spiritual counsels and releasing wisdom and direction into the earth realm. I see a need for apostolic leadership in cities to rise up. I see a need for full communication between God’s intercessory prophetic dimension and apostolic leaders in the key cities of our nation. I see this is a time that we do not need to debate on whether we should support our government. This is a time that we need to obey the Word of God and pray for those in authority. This is not a time to get caught up in political dissension.

NO MORE POLITICAL SPIRIT

This is a time for the Church to repent of allowing a political spirit to bring dissension and divided us. This has caused us not have power, and allowed desolation to come in to our midst. We as a Church can come into agreement with the throne room of heaven and release revelation to the earth so that civil government will gain clarity of God’s purposes of justice in the earth realm. These are times to fully find our footing so we know how to stand in the future. I see if we gather the revelation God is releasing from heaven we can secure the borders of our states.

NEW STANDS IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY

I see that God has a plan to rise up the watchman anointing in every key city in our nation. I see the Church standing at a new place by the end of the year, and taking new stands in January and February. If we do this, we will overthrow plans of the enemy that are hidden. If the Church does not find their firm footing at this time, we will see civil government moving outside of God’s timing. Daniel 7:25 says, “He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and the law.�

God is forming a perfect plan of victory. The plan has not yet had time to mature. If this plan is moved upon prematurely, God’s plan of justice will be postponed. We must surround that plan in prayer NOW. It seemed to me that God’s perfect time for advancement to dethrone the thrones of the enemy would be from the week before Christmas until the third week of February.
