Friday Morning - Dutch Sheets (continued from Part 2)

Well, we'd better finish strong.

Why do we do the things that we are doing here? Why are Chuck and I here? Why did the Lord tell us to do this? I think you will understand that it's not because we're trying to change the state of South Carolina through information. Even though we are teaching some. If we are really believing that it would take the right information getting to the Body of Christ to change things, then we would have to have the whole Body of Christ here. Or somehow figure out a way to get the information to everybody.

What we do believe is that we can change things in the spirit through breakthrough. We can change the atmosphere. We can change the heavenlies. And if we can change things there, we will break through in such a way that it has a trickle down effect-to coin a term from the economy. We can have a trickle down effect and change will begin to manifest in every area of society.

So many times the church tries to change things as though we were mere men. The Bible says you know 'you're acting like mere men'. In other words, we try to implement and change the same way government does-by programs and by methods. And if we can just come up with the right idea here or the right idea there, we can change something. And that works a little bit, but it's really backwards from the way we ought to be doing it in the church.

In the church, we should learn how to change things in the realm of the Spirit. If you can get breakthrough there, then it filters down into everything else. And then all the programs work! And all the methods work! And all the outreaches work! And all the reconciliation things work! Everything just works well! But if you try to implement these things without breakthrough in the Spirit, you just repeat cycles of frustration and fruitlessness.

And so, we're trying to breakthrough in the Spirit. Last night and today I keep hearing certain words over and over again. I'm hearing the word CYCLE. I'm hearing the word PAST. So God is trying to help us move through a window now-we heard that again last night and today again. He's trying to help us move through a window of opportunity so that we don't just keep repeating the same cycles of death.

That was what Chuck was teaching about-moving into the new identity, moving out of the past, moving out of the things that held us back so that we could move into the new. That's what we're really talking about. He used a story to do that-biblical passage of 2-3 stories. I'm going to approach it in the next 30 minutes or so from a-I want to say theological but it's not the kind of theological that you would think-teaching. I'm gonna give to you from a biblical word study perspective what the Lord is trying to say to us, because if we don't get this, we are just fooling ourselves. We are gonna just keep recycling and we don't want any more recycling. We want to stop and move into the new. Are you with me?

So I wrote down two words that came to me awhile ago. DISCONNECT and RECONNECT. Disconnect and reconnect. And I'm gonna read from Isaiah 58 in just a moment. In fact, let's just read it now and then I'll comment on these terms. I have to do this fairly quickly. I really would love for you to get this series of tapes-I think I have them with me, but if I don't you can order them-about synergy called Synergy of the Ages. There is a full teaching on them that will give you a little more of what I am gonna try to do today in about 25-30 minutes.

But Isaiah 58:12 says: Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins, raise up the age old foundations, you will be called repairer of the breach, restorer of the streets in which to dwell.

I want you to notice that in these four phrases how He uses words that let us know that He never really completely starts over. You can't just act like yesterday didn't happen and just start over. He's always using words like RESTORE, REPAIR, REBUILD, RAISE UP THE OLD. So, he's trying to tell us something here-that God doesn't just ignore our history, He doesn't just act like our past didn't happen-He heals history. He doesn't just act like you were never a sinner and say 'OK, from today I'm gonna just excuse your sin and act like it never happened. No, there must be an application of the blood. Something has to happen to heal that. To 'disconnect' us from something and then 'reconnect' us to something. So we're gonna get 'disconnected' from our past sins and wounds. Chuck used words like rejections and failure. We are gonna get disconnected from that and we're gonna get reconnected. Now if we don't get disconnected, we will repeat the cycle.

Let me say this to you. Even if you're not doing the sins of your father, even if you are not caught up in the iniquity of the father past on to the next generation, or the second or third or fourth generation-you know what?-it will just skip a generation. And you may have had an alcoholic person there and that generational thing is not broken and it may not be manifesting in you. But, if it is not broken and disconnected from us-you know what?-one of your grandkids will get it. Somebody is gonna get it.

Now the same thing is true culturally and as a people group and as a nation. And if we don't get that dealt with, if we just act like it never happened and we don't really deal with that thing and disconnect through repentance, through forgiveness, through being slammed in to by the Spirit of God into the new-if we don't do those things, what's gonna happen is we're just gonna get a little healing. Maybe things will get a little better, but I'm telling you right now, it's gonna recycle and the same stuff, the same junk, the same curd comes and usually it sometimes even it even gets stronger because it picks up a religious spirit along the way or some occultic thing. And it will just recycle and it will come back through strong as ever or stronger.

So we have to understand that the Lord wants to disconnect us from the past sin, hurt, problem, difficulty, iniquity pattern. He wants to disconnect us and He wants to reconnect us to Him so we can move on into a godly future-because we don't want the iniquities of the past coming through. We want the blessings of the covenant which flow to a thousand generations.

Now this is not an easy teaching to give in a matter of minutes, but I'm gonna try to do it. I'm trying to think bottom line now rather than going to 2 or 3 scriptures and building. I'm just trying to think bottom line and I'm gonna have to ask you to trust me in some areas because I won't have time to go to a lot of difference references and give you a proof text and that sort of thing.

There is a word in the New Testament 'katartismos' which is a word that basically means 'to put something into it's proper position or realign'-it means 'proper alignment'. So, it's used in a broad way and I'll give you some of these definitions but before I do I want to say that it's used by us as individuals and it's used in a corporate sense. God wants to properly align my life. He wants to adjust me and get me properly aligned with Him so that I can properly fulfill my destiny and be all that He has called me to be. The word is used to talk about us doing that corporately as a body. It's even used to talk about God going back into history and healing history so that we are now realigned with His purposes-disconnecting us with the old and aligning us with the new. So, it's a word that is personal but it is also corporate. And that is something God has really been emphasizing here.

So in other words, when God heals history (Isaiah 58-restores, rebuilds, repairs, etc), this is the word. He's saying, 'OK 200 years ago something got out of alignment and a sin, an iniquity, something evil came into the culture of South Carolina'. Something came into history and God can't just ignore it and act like it never happened because He is to just, but what He can do is that if the blood is applied-if there is repentance, if the right things happen-He can heal that point where the break occurred and He can realign (katartismos) and now life can flow into South Carolina where death had been flowing.

So far, are you getting the big picture? OK. This is why things like identifications or repentance are valid. Because it is proper to go back and say-like Daniel did, like Nehemiah did-'Father, I repent not only of my own sin but I repent of the sins of my father'. Now will You cut off that which has been flowing into my blood line through that DNA, through etc, etc, etc, that Chuck talked about-would You cut that off now and let life come to me and my offspring and so the next generation of South Carolina will get life instead of another cycle of death: racism, hatred, infirmities coming through, occultish things, etc.

I've got to bottom line you here and I've gotta be real blunt. OK? Because we've gotta get this. There is desperation in me right now-we gotta get this. We gotta shift something before I leave here in 30 minutes. Can we do it? (Congregation answers affirmatively)

So now, this word 'katartismos'-it means to align, arrange properly. So it's the word 'equip' in Ephesians 4 because when the saints are equipped-ya know in that passage he compares us to a body and talks about joints-well, this is a word (katartismos) and it's translated as equip here, but, follow me, but it's a word that is used in the Greek for a doctor taking a joint that is dislocated and snapping it back into place. So, when He pops it back in place, now-it was there all along, ya know-I had a good arm, I got a good body, everything is there but it's out of place-it's disjointed so it won't work well. But when the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher comes along and equips it-snaps it (speaker configures body as though joints being snapped back into place)-Oh, now I can use that thing, see!

So it's a word for equip because when everything is in proper place or alignment, even pasts (historically, culturally) when God snaps us back into place and heals the breech that came back there, now all of a sudden we can function again. Well, we can be what God intended us to be. That is why forgiveness works; because when you say 'I forgive someone' did you know that technically in Greek that is a legal term? When you say 'I forgive' the "apolua", it's the same word for bind and lose which are legal terms, something legally binding or you are loosed from something legally binding and the word forgiveness means, when you say 'I forgive', you literally drop the charges and something in the spirit realm is broken because you cut off that that legally bonds two people through pain and hurt, etc, and now God can bring alignment. He disconnects from the bad and snaps us into place and now the body is complete again and were whole and we can move forward with health because we are reconnected to life-not death, not pain, not destruction. So it's a word for equip. It's a word to restoring your brother in Galatians 6 because when a person sins they get out of alignment with God. So now pain, devastation and reaping of bad stuff, broken covenant is flowing through that life, but when you restore, you snap them back into alignment with God and now they can go on and begin to be functional again and fulfill their destiny and calling.

God is trying to do that with a corporate group today. He is trying to take a state and snap it back into alignment, so you can get on with your destiny as a people of South Carolina. This is a word used in the New Testament for mending a net--when the fishermen were there and because there had been a dislocation or a breaking. And so, when they take the net and fix it, tie it-you know, get it back in place, now it's functional again-reconnecting, restoring, moving back into that place.

Are you with me so far or am I going too fast? (Affirmative response)

Now I have alluded to this-now let me give you a phrase. Hebrews 11:3 talks about God-it says it this way: "By faith we know that the worlds were made by the Word of God". That's not a good translation. Because what that phrase literally says in Greek is 'we know that the ions (the seasons of time, the ages) were katartismosed by God. Not made in the sense of created but properly aligned. So, and there is a reference is Isaiah 46 that says this God of ours is sitting outside of eternity, looking into eternity and because-(correction): sitting outside of time-I'm trying to go so fast there and I don't want to make a mistake-He's sitting outside of time, He inhabits eternity, He's looking into time and it says 'He sees and declares the end from the beginning'. He is a God that literally sits there and decree the positioning, the katartismos if you will, positioning of the ages of time-the end from the beginning because He is the God that sees it all at once.

That's why when Daniel got into his presence, the book of Daniel, and he said 'I saw the Ancient of Days', he didn't see an old man on the throne-that's not why he called Him the Ancient of Days. He didn't see an old man with a gray beard.

(Jokingly toward Chuck) Chuck-grey beard! Ok, never mind. It just hit me all of a sudden-revelation! He's describing Chuck!

That's not what he (Daniel) saw. He saw the Eternal One and he used the Hebrew word there that means "the most distant times, both ways". This way and this way (hand gestures). He's just the Eternal One. I found myself (Daniel) in the presence of He who lives in eternity! Now that just boggles our mind, we can't do that, follow that. But when Daniel was there he saw into the future a couple thousand years. And he wrote about it.

So we have this God who can do this, so Hebrews 11 says He decrees the positioning of the ages so what that tells us is that even from the beginning when God looked ahead and saw that there were going to be-watch this-when there were going to be dislocations in history…Adam and Eve are going to be dislocated here. This is gonna happen, and that is going to happen. The same God decreed the realigning of the ages. He decreed chiropractic adjustments. Wham, wham, wham, wham-I'm gonna snap things back into place. See!

So that is why, before He ever said "let there be", He looked ahead and saw it all, and He saw the fall and said, "I also decree the Cross! The Lamb slain before they ever sin-I decree it!" That's big stuff, isn't it? That's way bigger than my mind.

And then He decrees the aligning of certain individuals through covenant and so he gets Abraham and He decrees the covenant and so He finally brings it-time catches up to what he had already decreed and He snaps this man into covenant and now He's got somebody in alignment with Him. And all through the patriarchs, things get messed up with Isaac, things get messed up with Jacob; things get messed up with Joseph. But He has already decreed-"I don't care how many times they try to steal his garment, I decree the realigning of Joseph's destiny!" See? And so no matter what satan tried to do, the Lord comes along and snaps things back into alignment. Are you following me?

So we have a God who does this. He knows how to reposition things. He doesn't just ignore history. He doesn't just ignore the breeches. He says, "if you just try to ignore 'em, if you try to ignore some of the junk that has come through this state and my state, too (I'm not just picking on South Carolina-you're probably further along that we are in Colorado) but if you just try to ignore these things, you're gonna let a cycle of sin and death keep repeating because you haven't let God katartismos that thing yet and snap it back into alignment. So you've got a curse flowing through. You've got pain flowing through. You've got iniquity flowing through. You've got something that is not fixed yet so you better let Me go back and Isaiah 58 it. You had better let Me restore, rebuild, heal, raise up because if the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do? We gotta rebuild them because He's not just gonna start over and act like it never happened. He's too just for that. He doesn't just turn the other way and say 'well, we'll just ugh, forget that'.

So now let me just say, since I'm running short on time, let me just say it this way. So God looks ahead and He's sitting up there and He says 'South Carolina, America has a destiny'. And He brings a nation into being and a people. A nation is born destined of God to do something and every part of it-ya know, every state, every city, every person there-He has a destiny for all of us. And of course, satan comes along and he's gonna try to alter that. So God has a plan for America. God has a plan for South Carolina.

Satan tries to disrupt that and so he brings things into the culture. He brings things into a people-sins, iniquities, idol worship, shedding of innocent blood. You go down a list! He brings things in and now instead of the purpose and destiny of God flowing through that nation, that state, that person and now he's (satan) got a breech and there's pain, there's curse, there's something else flowing through there and until we catch up with the decreed purposes of God for His realignment-His katartismos-and allow Him to do that: until we get to that point, we have death flowing through instead of our destiny of life.

Is this making any kind of sense to you? I'm trying to do in 15-20 minutes what I usually take an hour and a half to do, OK?

And so here comes some things in our past and I don't care what it is. I don't care if it's false religion. I don't care if it's that Masonic thing. I don't care what it is. I don't care if it's idolatry, shedding of innocent blood, wars starting here, racism, slavery being brought through your gates here. I don't care what it is-you can't just act like it never happened. I'm telling ya, you can't do that. You can't just say let the past be past and move on and act like these things never happened because if you do, you will repeat the same cycle over and over and over again. See? Well, it may not happen the same way but the same hatred is going to flow through, the same death is going to flow through and the culture gets more sin entrenched in it and we get further away from God and we wonder why the kids get more mixed up and wonder why the statistics change and in American we are so good in dressing it up and putting a nice face on it and when somebody comes up and reads these statistics to us, we go "Well that can't be-Not Us!". YET IT IS! We are white-washed tombs acting like we are alive when there is a spirit of death flowing through us. We know how to put a good face on it-you know how to do it and I know how to do it. "Everything is fine" and from within this nation is rotting.

(Insert List of Statistics)

And we don't even believe our own statistics. Our politicians in Washington-they won't even believe our own statistics. They just want to argue 'well, if the republicans would get it right, this all would be better' or 'if the democrats would get it right….' And we don't want to admit that inside, in the spirit of the nation, in the spirit of a people, in the spirit of a person-WE ARE DYING. And so 'let's come up with another program, maybe we can fix it that way. Maybe we can stop this curse that's flowing through our culture-if we just get a better program. And so we will spend more money on education or we will spend it here, or we will do that, or we will appease this group this way and that way, in this method, that method. We'll appoint this group over there and we will establish this group and they will take care of education and they will do this and that and somehow we will fix this mess!

And the statistics keep getting worse and worse and worse because if somebody doesn't allow God to heal this thing from within, we are never gonna see the change that we want because we have to have God move in and break the cycle of death. We have to have repentance and cleansing and say 'we are not gonna act like these things never happened' and just sort of go on. We're gonna see Him heal history, realign and now let life flow through where there has been a curse flowing through.

This is very difficult to get across to people because most of us don't think this way. 'Cause I hear it all the time-'why do you keep talking about this in the past, or that, you know….I didn't do that, I mean, let's move on. 'Don't be holding me accountable for what granddaddy did or you know, this curse that's flowing through-God's not holding me….'.

It's not a matter of God holding you responsible for something they did. It's a matter of something came through a broken place and is now flowing through a DNA. It's not that God is holding you accountable for it and blaming you for something they did. It's the fact that something is now flowing through our history that has death to it and we got to get it cut off so life can start flowing.

Do you understand this? South Carolina, do you understand this? (Resounding YES). YOU HAVE TO GET THIS! You have to get this! If you get this, you can change this state. You can change it very quickly. And that's the last thing I want to say to you right now.

I want you to get everything out of you that says 'until we get the majority of people believing and understanding this, we're not going to get it done'. God has never needed a majority. God has never needed a majority. He doesn't need most of South Carolina getting this to change it. He doesn't even need most of the church to get and understand it before He can do it. He just needs a group of people this size, come together, really believe it and know that we can go into the spirit realm, do business, cut something off and start a new flow of life into this state. (Spontaneous agreement and praise) And we're gonna do that today.

We're gonna do that right now. We're gonna do it, aren't we Chuck? My friend Chucky-I love you man! I want that tape (of Chuck). Somebody get me that tape from this morning. That was fabulous! Make sure, Todd or Brian, wherever you are, that I HAVE THAT. We're gonna do it right now. You Ready? (YES!) Is there faith in you to do this? (More YES's) We're gonna ask the God to whom all things are the same-yesterday, today and forever-to go back and just begin to heal things and shift us into alignment so that life can begin to flow through us, into our children, into our culture, into our schools, into our churches. We're gonna do this-we're just gonna do it, ugh? We're just…Are you ready to do this? (Yes, applauded/shouted, people begin standing, ready) Now I want-stand to your feet, I want some of you to just come-I need a few intercessors. I mean a few three or four or five dozen of you just kind of fill this front and let's just get close here and we've got about 15 minutes to shift a state. Can we do that? I'll tell ya, God can do it in 15 seconds!

CHUCK -

You know I usually get up and give a prophetic word, ya know, how we normally would-but I want you to be sure to get this what Dutch was speaking. I kept telling him this morning that there is a piece I can't quite verbalize. I can't put in words why South Carolina is so important 'right now'. I mean, why we are here 'right now'. I mean, with President Bush being in Africa saying 'we're dealing with this slave issue as a nation'. See, he's doing what Pastor Dutch is saying. And here we are in South Carolina for a time such as this and while I was there (pointing to where he was sitting) you see how that pattern from South Carolina affected our whole nation. As a matter of fact, what happened was this-and this needs to be on tape so you see it (newspaper article).

They said here in South Carolina, "We will secede from the overall changes of this nation. We're going to pull out. We're going to separate ourselves. We are going to remove ourselves from the changes that's going on in this nation because we don't agree with the direction its taking."

And what they were saying really when they said that was - they were saying 'let's keep this old system of bondage and domination in place and secured.' That's a pattern that has been here. 'Let's keep the slave system over this territory. Let's keep it in place so we can use it to benefit us in the future.'

Then they said this: 'Let's secure the wealth' (cause South Carolina was wealthy). Let's secure the wealth that is coming in here because more wealth is coming in here than any other place. Let's secure this wealth so it is not distributed to the overall purpose of the whole.' Now what that's going to do is manifest in the overall church where the wealth never reaches the harvest of the whole territory.

And then the other thing is, it said-'Let's fire this shot'. You see how satan creates this strategy. It's that prophetic apostolic strength that rises up but it's out of time and it's got a false anointing on it where it says 'let's fire this shot' to create chaos and division throughout this whole land. Because, of course, in your history the first shot was fired that created the overall division of this entire land and right now, I'm gonna tell ya, there is a strategy right now for something to come out of this state to try to bring division throughout this entire nation. There's a domination that is trying to rise up in this state to say 'but we're good and we're doing good right now' so you never enter into the best of what God has for you.

There's an influence arising in this state and it's a governmental influence that is going to begin to say 'now wait a minute, we're not going to pull out'. As a matter of fact, while I was sitting there the Spirit of God spoke to me and said, "There are two states in this nation that's got strategies of secession within them to violate the independence that I am trying to bring into the land. It's South Carolina and it's Texas!" (Congregation gasped in astonishment) "And there's a strategy, that if it is not broken now, you'll see it manifest in the next five years and there will be an uprising that comes that creates the same confusion throughout this land, plus seven times worse!"

As a matter of fact, the Lord said--I also saw the water way coming into Charleston-and the Lord said, "it's paved, it has been paving the way for that waterway to be used by the enemy-it is an entry point for the enemy to come into this land to oppress this entire land."

And the Lord said to me, "You tell them to go down to every major coast city and hold a worship gathering and a prayer and intercession gathering and decree that a shield of change is coming across and around this state." And the Spirit of God said, "You tell them to go to the twelve (12) most populous cities of this state and hold a worship apostolic prophetic intercessory gathering and decree that the heavens will change and the administration of God will be secured in this state. For if they don't make the shift now, in the coming year (and I always feel like God goes in a cycle from the time you hear--until next July, until our celebration of liberty next year) if you will make the shift now, true liberty will be flowing in South Carolina."

And then He says this, He says "That in this thing, that short is just ricocheting back and forth throughout this entire nation just waiting to create the same chaos. The shot originated here." The Lord said, "You release an anointing in this state to bring such change that that shot is neutralized or else we'll see division in this land like we have never known in the next five (5) years."

The Lord says, "This is a time that I have gathered you together and I'm gonna snap back in place your prophetic destiny, your leadership destiny, but instead of moving out of time and moving in a way with the enemy to produce chaos, you're going to move with me and liberty will come from South Carolina." (Applauding, praises outburst)

DUTCH-

Well, now let's just-well, I understand why this has been so heavy on me. This is so critical for the Lord to do this. This is important, isn't it? I mean, I just…if you've noticed me being aloof or something while I'm here, it's not, it's just that I felt this incredible weighty thing from the Lord and I've been so focused. This is so big to the Lord.

We, let's just pray and ask the Lord to shift this state right now and break these things in the past, heal those breeches there and snap us back into alignment with His purposes.

What I heard the Lord say when Chuck talks about firing that first shot…I heard the Lord say, "Fire a shot in the Spirit now and let it be a holy fire…let it will be a holy shot". Shoot something into the heavens by the Spirit of God that will undo what the enemy is trying to do. And let, instead of a spirit of death and division and destruction flow out of this place, let there be now a spirit of life that begins to flow out of here. A spirit of unity, a spirit of blessing. And so Lord… (speaking to the people) now just begin to pray in the Spirit and let's just get in an agreement here-we're gonna do this. Is this alright?

Father, we call upon You now by the blood of Jesus. We come, Lord, not with our own strength, not in our own abilities, not in our own worthiness or righteousness-in the same way we don't do that personally, we don't do it corporately. We come to You, through the blood of Jesus and we ask You right now, Lord (speaking to the people) I know there has been repentance over everyone of these things, so I don't feel like we need to list these sins and start repenting for them, but we do have to ask the Lord to go back and shift these things.

Father, I ask You to go back and heal breeches in this state that have allowed curses and iniquity patterns of death to cycle through this state over and over and over again. Lord, breeches that have brought division, breeches that have brought strife and hatred and the shedding of innocent blood, breeches that have brought poverty, breeches that have even come into the church and caused us to move into idolatry in our churches, caused us to accept things that are not proper and biblical, caused us to build walls of division-not just in our culture but in the church. I am asking You now, Lord, to go back when that first shot was fired and I am asking you heal that breech right now and shift us into holy alignment of unity and brotherly love. I'm asking You to go into the port where slaves were brought into this nation and I'm asking you to heal that breech. I'm asking You, Lord, where decisions were made that involved the shedding of innocent blood and the bringing of bondages into this state-I'm asking You to go back right now and heal that breech and give us a holy adjustment so that we are snapped into place so the blessings of harmony, of covenant, of brotherly love and kindness can begin to flow into this state. Align us with Your purposes. Take the garment of sin off and put a garment of righteousness on us, in the Holy Name of Jesus.

DIANE (Director of SE Region) -

The Lord says in Numbers, chapter 14, that your enemies are bread for you. The Lord says to tell you that, "the very thing that enemy used-to use you South Carolina as a breech-He is using now to build a siege mount for you, to enable you to break through. And the Lord said to give you a visual of who you are in His hand. You are a battle axe in the hand of the Lord. Jeremiah 51:20. And it is with you He will break in pieces the kingdoms of darkness in the nations of darkness and it is with you, in His hand, that He will destroy the work of the horse and the rider and the chariot and the rider." The Lord says, "You are His church. You are a delight to Him. He has never lost hope. He has never lost confidence in you. You are a delight to Him. His confidence is in the work of His grace and His Spirit operating in you. The Lord says for you to lift up your head and receive the redemption of your God."

DUTCH-

Now we just decree right now, Lord, that there is not coming a division out of this state. There is not coming a religious spirit out of this state. There is not coming a secessionist mindset. There is not coming a poverty thing. There is not coming an oppressing of one another from this state.

We say that now flowing into and out from the state of South Carolina is the Spirit of the Living God. We fire a shot into the spirit right now. We say: We fire the shot of unity. We fire the shot of destiny. We fire the shot of blessing of covenant-not cursing, not breaking, not covenant breaking, not oppressing. We fire the shot of covenant faithfulness. We fire the shot of covenant love. We fire the shot of corporality. We fire the shot of being one in the Spirit. We fire the shot of pure worship, not idolatry.

We break those curses. We cut it off. We say that God who heals history is healing us even now.

Rebuilding the ancient ruins.

Restoring foundations in cities and walls.

Giving us the gates, hanging them in place, not just the walls.

We say South Carolina is-Going through the window now of her destiny,

Going through the window of your destiny,

Going through the window into the new,

Going through the window as Joseph did-Every time the enemy tries to close the door he went through the door of destiny.

And we say South Carolina is going through that door. Going through the window.

And now Lord, Cleanse the land

Cleanse the culture

Cleanse the government

Cleanse the church, cleanse the church, cleanse the church

Let life now flow through the church

Let there be a true equipping

Let there be a true alignment

Let there be a breaking of that which came

…Lord, snap us into place

Now let there be a true equipping

Let there be true holiness

Let there be true, true change in Your church.

I say that there is a root, that root-I don't know if I have ever said this before anywhere! It's not a good thing to have to say, but I'm gonna say it. Much of the roots-or, or…there is a root. Let me just say it that way. There is a root of that sectarian spirit that even filters through the church. A major portion of the root of that thing in this nation is coming from South Carolina.

(Looking to Chuck) Now you help me, you judge this…You help me with this Chuck. If you don't feel like this is right, I will stop immediately but I'm asking the prophet to help me judge this.

I see that one of the reasons that this is critical to the Lord is that this state is a major root of this whole system of division and strife and bigotry. And I'm not just talking about races now. I'm talking about even in the church and gender and, and, and anti-Semitism and all that stuff. I see there is a root of it right here that is flowing through the state and that is why it is so, so important to the Lord that that be cut off here this weekend so that the new begin to flow.

I've got to pray this one more time. We're late going to the airport, but I've got to do it one more time, OK? Now get with me. Let's get into agreement.

Father, we ask You to go back to the beginnings of this state in our history. We ask You, Lord, where that spirit came into this state and began, planted a deep root, a tap root in this nation of bigotry, of division, of separation that is rooted in the very 'accuser of the brethren' that stands before the throne of God and materializes and surfaces in gender based, religious based, people group, racial based, denominationalism, sectarism, I say in Jesus' name, that the roots of that thing are cut off, by the blood of the Lamb, by the God who heals history. Now you can call that secessional spirit, seceding…you can call that a secessionalist thing if you want to but I say it is demonic. I say it is rooted in the 'accuser of the brethren', the spirit of antichrist and I break it off this state in the name of Jesus.

I go back to the roots of this state and I cut it off at the root in the name of Jesus.

I sever you from it now. I sever you from it now. I sever you from it now.

I break its power off of you. I break it by the blood of Jesus.

I tear it out of the ground.

I cut it off at the root.

And I release you now to move into the new.

I release you to go into the new.

I release you into the new.

I release you into the new.

I release you into the new.

I release you into the new.

I release you into the new.

I release you into the new.

The bloodline, the new covenant line. OHHHHH!

CHUCK -

Now let's ask the Lord to do something very specific. There is still a disconnection that is going on in South Carolina so that the covenant blessing of God can't come down fully. It's related back to your secession. And the Lord sways to you, "you've got to realign yourself in a new way".

Father, we speak to the government of this particular-Lord, we say that the government of the church is going to arise in a new way. We release the apostolic mantle in this state. Lord, we declare over this particular house here a release of the harvest anointing. We call in the miraculous to this particular place and we declare it will be heard all over the state of the miracles that are going on. We release the prophetic anointing. We say shift into God's purposes today.

Now Father, we then speak to the civil government and we say, be sure you are realigned and recovenanted with God's purpose for this land so you can influence the whole land properly. We say there will come before the people here a true covenant issue of realignment, Lord, so they see and realign properly and they come into God's purpose and God's purpose in this state affect the whole nation and release the wealth of the land in a new way.

DUTCH -

Yeah! Thank you, Lord!

Now I had several people come with concerns about this word, about the 'walls being built but the gates and doors not being in place'. And that we need to that. I just want to say to you, I believe that was what Chuck was just doing. So we're going to pray it again so you can pray with understanding. I'm not going to pray it the same way, but I'm just going to seal it, as it were. Because I had another word come to me and I really bore witness to it and the word was that 'the gates and doors are the leaders'. The elders sat at the gate, see….and the governments sat at the gate. So, it's both natural and spiritual. God has to get the cleansing. He has to get the positioning, the alignment of the leaders in place now so that the gates and doors will be there. So that now there is true security and safety. So we're gonna, I'm just gonna come into agreement with what he just prayed and I'm gonna say, Lord, You get your leaders into alignment now. You get the natural government, spiritual government, You get everything in place so that the gates and doors are all in place. So Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for building the wall. But this time, we want the gates hung. We want the doors in place and we want the gatekeepers. We want the elders who sit at the gate and rule to be in place. We want that to happen.

So now Lord, we command the shift of the government of the church.

We command the shift into godly leadership.

We command the mantle of God's government to come into the state of South Carolina-

Both in the spiritual realm and the natural realm.

We speak to the men and women of God in this state and we say

Rise to your place

Rise to your position

Cast off all religiosity

Cast off lethargy

Cast off that which would hold you back

And keep you in the old and keep you from going into the new.

I say to the leadership of this state. Come out of your old wineskins.

Lay them aside.

Cast them aside.

Cast them aside.

Cast them aside.

I say that if you will do it as leadership in the church, you will see it also in the natural and you will begin to see the natural government align. So I say, cast off all that holds you back and let God snap you into place and position you in your position as a gatekeeper and a doorkeeper.

We decree it so in the name of Jesus!

Now join hands and begin to pray for leaders. Begin to say Lord, we bless our leaders. We don't curse them. We bless them. If you've never been in leadership, you don't know how hard it is to do some of these things. You don't know how hard it can be to hear from the Lord sometimes and move into the new. It's not that easy to do. Begin to pray for your leaders right now. Begin to pray for those in influence. Pray for your government leaders. Ask the Lord to help them, encourage them and strengthen them. Ask Him to help them break out of the old into the new. Give them understanding how to do it. Some of them want to, they're just like you, they don't necessarily always know how to do it. Pray over them that the revelation of the Lord will come to them Pray that they will know how to do it, they will see how to do it. God, give us the gates in place. Give us your revelation, Lord!
