Memories of the Jesus Movement

A group of 50 brightly dressed hippies gathered by the shore at Newport Beach in Southern California on a summer evening in 1968. Clad in tie-dyed shirts, bell-bottoms and love beads, these disillusioned children of the acid generation waded into the Pacific Ocean toward a 41-year-old minister, who welcomed them with a smile and an accepting embrace.

Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation
By Dutch Sheets and Chuck Pierce
The May issue of Charisma features prayer warriors Dutch Sheets, pastor of Spring Harvest Fellowship, and Chuck Pierce, President of Glory of Zion International Ministries co-authors of Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation. This book tells of how these two men traveled to all 50 states rallying apostles, prophets, intercessors and entire churches to break the grip of demonic strong holds over the nation. The book contains a prophetic message for every state in America. Some of the messages have already come to pass others have not yet manifested. Read some of the prophetic excerpts from Washington D.C., Texas, California, Florida and New York below.
 

District of Columbia
The Spirit of the Lord initiated the call to visit every state when I [Chuck Pierce] was flying into Washington, D.C., in October 2002. Likewise, the Lord also told Dutch Sheets, while he was flying into Washington, D.C., for the meetings, to go to all 50 states. The Lord began to speak several other things to me. He said: “Pray for 17 days. Declare that the victory plan and strategy is secured. If you have My covenant desire in your heart, you will go forth in victory.”

Texas
The Prophetic State   
I say there is a governmental anointing on the state of Texas—on the Church of Texas—to rise up in her position in heavenly places and begin to legislate and begin to affect, to begin to release the government of God (that) changes the government of man.

California
The Crossing Over State
“Tell California: it’s time to cross over! I’ve brought this state to a place; I’ve accomplished some things by My Spirit; the potential is there for them, and tell them: It’s time to cross over.” (Prophesied by Dutch Sheets.)

Florida
First for Revival; the Forerunner State
Florida is a forerunner state—forerunning in the purposes of God, forerunning in revival, forerunning in destiny—for the nation.
Florida is an apostolic state with a governmental mantle to shift and change the nation. The 22nd floor of the State Capitol Building in Tallahassee is an Isaiah 22:22 floor, where the church of Florida is to pray and govern the state from.

Brother Yun: ‘What is Jesus Saying to You?’
A Chinese minister who suffered years of torture questions popular American Christianity
  
By Paul Steven Ghiringhelli
 
“We live in a totally insecure world. There really is no such thing as a secure building. There is no insurance policy that can keep death away. Everyone heads in that direction [the grave] no matter what insurance you have. We have put our trust in things instead of focusing on what’s true and real.”
 
So says Brother Yun, a Chinese evangelist who says Jesus has been his only form of security since he accepted Christ some 30 years ago. “For me, death is irrelevant,” he says. “Everyone has to die one day.” Read More
 

Are You Feeding Your Need?
Most of us don’t want to admit it, but we’ve grown accustomed to overeating. It’s time to repent and develop some self-control.
 
By: Kara E. Davis, M.D.
 
The Bible tells us that “the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (Gal. 5:22, NIV). All these virtues should be displayed by those in whom the Spirit of God resides. But I’ve observed that self-control, the last in the list, is often overlooked—much like young David was when the prophet Samuel told Jesse to assemble his sons so he could anoint one of them as the new king of Israel (see 1 Sam. 16:1-13).
