The Return to Ground Zero in Our Faith for Realignment and Release of Power! (A Historic Trip Report, pictures included) October 12, 2010 Dear Kingdom People: Few trips that I have taken have been more ordered and ordained by the Lord! Three months ago He impressed me to go to Rome and then Israel to pray and decree on behalf of the Body. As sometimes happens when the Lord says to do something, I was not immediately aware of the impact and importance of this trip. This trip was necessary for this year, 5771, The First Year of the Next Moving! This is a time to watch the Ark as it moves us into the new season ahead. This is a time to understand and see the Father. This is a time of allowing our unbridled power to be mastered! I chose a team that was balanced spiritual, filled with joy, curious, adventurous and willing to go (John & Sheryl Price, Trisha Roselle, Anne Tate, Chad Foxworth, John Mark Pierce, and Aaron Smith, and then Daniel & Amber Pierce and Karli Sauce would meet us at Martin and Norma Sarvis apartment in Jerusalem). I was willing to listen to each and allow the script of God s plan to form. We departed from Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, October 2 after gathering for our first Global Spheres gathering: The Ark is Moving. The messages centered around this season and Apostolic Realignment. This was such a key for this season. There are several key points that I want to list and explain about this trip, but let me begin with that Friday night at the conference. We entered the season Dancing With the Torah. I do not know of a Gentile gathering that has devoted a whole service to this incredible celebration. We were sent out by Paul Wilbur leading us in worship Friday night, the night of Simchat Torah! Paul had brought his full Torah to the gathering. The Presence and power of worship was amazing as 750 followed the Torah and danced in a procession throughout the sanctuary. The Ark was moving, and we were celebrating the movement of His Word for this next season. (Interestingly, 99% had never celebrated the Word like this.) I loved to see Doris Wagner was in the procession on her scooter. Rome: The Eternal City The Lord has shown me that there had to be a noticeable change in the Church, from Israel. He had impressed me that Italy, not Germany, would have to make certain statements for the next Apostolic move of God to begin. Peter Wagner had led the Prayer Movement to Rome in 2005 to worship in the center of Rome. Hundreds had gathered for this call. We had previously visited Rome for 7 years praying and paving the way. We had prayed in the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel every place imaginable. However, we had not completed something, for the Lord said, Go again! We had three on the trip who had never been to Rome. When we landed and proceeded to the bus with a Godchosen guide, I had been impressed to do two things. However, I knew to listen. We only had the bus and guide for three hours, so were taking a panoramic view of Rome. I knew that with the fall of Jerusalem in the 1 st century the Menorah was taken from the Temple to Rome, and that in latter days it would have to return as a sign of Heaven and Earth coming closer in the God s Plan of Glory demonstration. Fathers Arise! When we passed St. Paul s cathedral, the Lord said stop. I have been in most of the cathedrals of Rome and Sicily (some of which I never want to go in again), but I had not remembered visiting this one. When we entered, the Mass was in process. I immediately knew why we were there. In this cathedral, which supposedly rests on Paul s buried bones after his beheading, there are murals that surround the massive walls. Every Apostle, every Saint, and every Pope in the history of the Church are etched in glass. In a Year of Being Fathered, we decreed that
the history of the church would now realign and the Fathers of the Future would write the history of the Kingdom move of God. We asked the Lord to right the wrongs of the Fathers of the past, and build His Heart in the Fathers of the Future! A Reversal Begins! From the Coliseum, Go Back Through the Gate of Constantine. After stopping at Paul s Cathedral, we proceeded through Rome, viewing Circus Maximus and various sites. I watched as the guide took us on God s path. We ended on the hill above the Coliseum. I knew the team was to walk down from the top of the hill and end up at Constantine s Gate and walk back through the gate from front to back. In previous visits, we had prayed several times in Rome at the Gate s entrance. (You can read about other trips in The Future War of the Church, Redeeming the Times, and The Messianic Church Arising.) But this time was different. In the Spirit, we seemed to be unraveling the twisting that occurred in Church history through Constantine in the fourth century AD. Constantine had grown affectionate toward the Church. He had legalized Christianity, but disconnected the root of our faith. Therefore, instead of being grafted in and producing the ultimate fruit from the root, we have skewed through the centuries from the root of faith to produce a fruit - but not the fullness of God s expression. The center of Christianity had shifted from Jerusalem, Antioch and Turkey to Rome. This integrated the worship of Mithras into Church history. But Harvest is now ripening and looming and God wants the best to spring forth! We asked the Lord to fully REALIGN THE ROOT and began to intercede for a full reversal with signs and wonders. We then went to a Fountain attached to a Jewish Ghetto and asked for the waters in the Belly of Church to be purified and spring forth. With this prayer it seemed that the blood of the martyrs and that of persecuted Jews from the war began to shout from the earth. Heaven and Earth seemed to celebrate that God had a team to realign and reconcile what had occurred through the unjust occurrences of the past and release a new anointing for the future. We rested, took the metro, visited other fountains, and ate. (Of course, you look forward to eating and drinking wine in Rome!) The younger guys stayed out late, took pictures in front of all the fountains, ate more, but returned in time to catch the bus at 6AM for our flight to Jerusalem. God was moving. A Historic Gathering proceeded after we left. We were not aware of the planned meeting in the Coliseum that was to occur after we had our day of prophetic intercession. The following shows how significant our prayers and declaring were to being there. ECI joined mass rally in Rome: Delegitimization of Israel needs to be countered with historical facts and truth Rome, Italy, 7 October, 2010 A massive pro-israel rally led by government ministers and parliamentarians on Thursday night demanded an immediate end to the vicious campaign of delegitimization which is currently being waged against the state of Israel. This campaign is different from the traditional warfare which the Jewish state has faced right from its inception as an independent state, said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a video message to those present. He went on to say that today s war is not being fought with bullets but with lies and distortions of truth. The battle
fields are international institutions, such as the International Criminal Court in the Hague and the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, where the only true democracy in the Middle East is being accused of violations of international law by UN member states with some of the worst human rights records in the world. If we lose this war against Israel, we all lose, said former Spanish Prime Minister José Maria Aznar, who stressed that Israel and Europe share the same roots and the same values. Many speakers affirmed Italy s key role in supporting Israel in recent years by its decisions as EU president in 2003, to put Hamas on the EU terrorist list and to be the first European nation to pull out of the Durban II conference in April 2009. Solidarity with Israel can sometimes be more important than European unity, asserted Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini in his speech. He concluded his speech by saying that we as Christians and as Europeans have historically failed the Jewish people. Yet now is the time for us to stand up for Israel and to do so in time. He ended by quoting the Book of Ruth in saying Your God is our God. Furthermore, Your civilization is our civilization and your values are our values. If Israel falls we all fall. But together we can stand together we will stand. (www.ec4i.org) Israel: Realigning to Ground Zero for our Covenant Blessings Now that we had done what the Lord asked us to do in Rome, we traveled to Israel and were hosted by Martin and Norma Sarvis. They write our Israel Focus each week. Our first assignment was to go to Omer, and meet Avner and Rachel Boskey and God s Messianic community there. This is in the South of Israel. BeerSheva. This is the First Place covenant land alignment where Abraham s Promise was longed for and our covenant process of which we are grafted into began. BeerSheva is the southern-most point of Israel. In David s day, the saying was that all of Israel, from Dan to Bersheeba would be realigned (Joshua 15:28; 19:2; 1 Chronicles 21:2, 2 Samuel 17:11). Beersheba, the "well of seven, was where Abraham and Abimelech took an oath of witness. Abraham had dug the well and seven ewe lambs were offered in sacrifice. The Hebrew root shabha, "to swear," is connected with the idea of seven, the influence of completeness. Another account is given in Genesis 26:23-33, where Isaac takes an oath and just afterward, "the same day Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water. And he called it Shibah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day." This site was a place worship. "Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Yahweh, the Everlasting God" (Gen 21:33). This was the place of the first visitation of angels: to Hagar (Gen 21:17), to Isaac (26:24), to Jacob (46:2), and to Elijah (1 Kings 19:5). In Amos 5:5, this place was designated along with Bethel and Gilgal as the pure worship of Yahweh. This was the place---god s Ground Zero--- for realignment of our covenant blessings and to cry for visitation. The prayer was amazing. The decrees of our realigning the next move of God from covenant Ground Zero were just amazing. Avner ended our session by dropping a rock in the well. We declared that from that place the new alignment for prayer, the apostolic and prophetic movement, and visitation would ripple and realign the Body throughout the world.
Realigning and Initiating the Next Move of God. I then returned to Jerusalem and met with Avi Mishrachi and his wife, Chaya. They are from Tel Aviv, in the middle of Israel. Avi is a key voice in the nation. We discussed the next move of God in Israel. We discussed a time of celebration with God s people from around the world, aligning with the Messianic people of Israel. Realigning the Next Move of Glory Restoration. That night we went to the City of David, where massive efforts to restore this City are occurring. We viewed the place the Ark would have been positioned. We cried for a realignment in the Body with the Glory of God and the Tabernacle of David being restored in this generation. We declared that the Menorah or Lampstand would return to its rightful place in the Kingdom. Realigning the next Prayer Movement. Anne Tate met a team from England for the Night Watch at the Wailing Wall. I will send her report out next. We asked the Lord to realign the prayer movement and intercession back to His city. Realigning the Next Victorious Generation who will Triumph in the Desert. The younger team went to En Gedi and the Dead Sea. They triumphed in the desert. Realigning Heaven and Earth and Opening a Portal of Sound. I took a team to the Temple Mount. We entered Jaffa Gate, and went East across the Old City and then entered the Temple Mount. I felt the Lord had instructed us to connect heaven and earth prophetically. If you have ever been to Jerusalem, you will have heard the Muslim sound during their prayer times. The Lord said simply, Plant a Shofar at the Eastern Gate so that when I announce from Heaven My changes, they will be heard throughout the world. My voice and sound will cover the earth! The Eastern Gate area is locked, but the team obeyed. His Word cannot be bound. Realigning the Next Healing Move. We then went to the Pool of Bethesda. You read about this healing pool in John 5. We asked the Lord to realign the next Healing Movement. Realigning the New Mantle. I then knew that I was to visit a place that has many unique tallits. The Spirit of the Lord was saying, I am realigning and repositioning My mantles of authority in the earth. I bought tallits to be given during the year.
Realigning and Declaring a Release and a Return in the Future: Rome and Jerusalem will Align. That night, I met with one of the key gatekeepers in Jerusalem. This Messianic leader has served 40 years in the Old City. We had dinner with Martin, Norma, and a key person from Rome, who is now working in the Knesset. I felt this meeting will benefit many in the future. We discussed how the Menorah, or Lamp of God, would return. Thank each of you for praying for us. I believe the team and I represented you well. Continue to pray as I lead another team today to Hong Kong, Thailand, and Korea. Your gifts are appreciated. Without you, we cannot continue to do the Great Commission of our Lord discipling nations.
