This is a season of wars and rumors of wars. We are engaged in a World War Watch. Yet it is also a time where the Lord is intent on restoring the headship of His bride in this nation, in Israel, and in the nations of the earth.
In the spring of 2013, Chuck Pierce requested for key leaders to gather in Oklahoma City so he could share a significant word from a recent dream. I’m not at liberty to share details, but the summary below conveys the essential message. Chuck made it clear that the dream was intended by the Lord to help set a new course for the prayer movement of the future. I believe this!
Restoring the Headship of the Bride
In the dream, Chuck navigated through layers of security in some kind of fortress— to rescue the head of the Bride. In each layer, he faced a door that was sealed with a specific digital combination lock. He had to receive fresh revelation of the new combination from Holy Spirit to gain entrance each time.
Finally in the dream he reached the center of the stronghold, where he found and recovered the head of the Bride. Chuck literally saw the head of the Bride of Christ, fully preserved and functioning—yet separated from the body! In the dream he then spoke to HAPN lead apostle John Benefiel and told him that he had recovered the head of the Bride. The next phase of work was then to realign the Bride’s head with her body.
What a wild dream! The Lord is conveying a progressive journey to rescue the headship of the Bride of Christ, and restore her head with the body of Christ. This is so important for God’s work in our nation!
Gideon: Restoring Headship
We are in a season where Gideon’s torch is being restored. I believe you can see a great parallel between Chuck Pierce’s dream and the journey the Lord brought Gideon on to deliver his nation from the Usurper. Israel had been paralyzed through compromise with idolatry, with usurpers moving unrestrained through the gates of God’s covenant land. Gideon’s journey restored the headship of God, and the headship of His people, within the land.
It all began with his own repudiation of generational idolatry—his divorcement from Baal. When he tore down his father’s altar to Baal, the Lord released him into his commission to deliver the nation—and restore the headship of God’s people in the land.
Preparation for Military Victory
Gideon’s actions not only prepared him for military victory, they prepared his land for military victory. Judges 2 recounts how the Angel of the Lord was restrained from bringing God’s people into the completion of God’s possession of the Promised Land. In other words, the promises of God for their future and security were only partially fulfilled. And because God’s people ignored their covenant with Him and embraced the idolatry of the land, the angelic hosts were prevented from advancing them. Instead, their headship became compromised, with the Usurper penetrating their borders and holding captive God’s covenant land!
A generation later, Gideon’s space is invaded… by the Angel of the Lord. Gideon is commissioned as a deliverer. His first act of obedience is to tear down his father’s altar to Baal, and build an altar to the Lord. This prophetic action demarcated the lifting of God’s judgment on Israel for their idolatry, and the restoration of God’s covenant favor to release the land into a new beginning! From this time forward, covenant authority was again available to God’s people. And the Lord and His angelic hosts would once again be released to deliver the land and people from the Usurper.
Not that there wouldn’t be a battle for this deliverance. But Gideon’s act prepared the land and people for military victory, to see the headship of God’s people restored from the subjugation of the Usurper.
Be A Gideon!
At the outset of this World War Watch, receiving the divorcement of Baal and restoration of covenant with the Lord is the most strategic, patriotic act you could engage in at this hour. Why not become like Gideon and define your own boundaries by covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ? Why not align the boundaries of your workplace, your church, your city and state with the Lord through this covenant restoration?
Truly, the time for this is now! And you will be amazed how the Lord responds with a fresh release of His Spirit, and of the angelic hosts of the Lord on your behalf. See your headship in Christ restored! Become a catalyst of His deliverance to this nation, and the nations of the earth—before any future conflict begins.
