Behold, I set thee a Watchman on the Wall" (Isaiah 62:6)

If there was ever a time for a spiritual breakthrough, it is now; and it is in overthrowing the stronghold of abortion. Chuck Pierce has issued a high alert and call to prayer and fasting over the next 58 days.
Let's join together in intense prayer and fasting in accordance with Isaiah 58 and the day-by-day guidlines Chuck suggests below. On Day 58, we are to: "Name what you want to see breakthrough in, and declare BREAKTHROUGH to begin." Let's declare, on day 58, that in addition to whatever break through you personally require, that the stronghold of Abortion is coming down in this nation and we will be one again one nation under God.
If repentance is not forthcoming, God may very well have to cry out for repentance with signature judgements designed to awaken us from our slumber...this is grace.
"Arise, shine; For your light has come! and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you."
"Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom, for such a time as this?" (Est 4:14)
"Seek the LORD, all you meek of the earth, who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the Lord's anger." (Zep 2:3)

"58 Days of Focused Prayer including True Fasting for Breakthrough"
Dear Saints:
As I was seeking the Lord at the beginning of the year, the Lord spoke these words to me: "There is coming a 58 day intense period of prayer and fasting for My Body. This period will be your shifting time for the season of revival that is now upon you.
--------------------------------------------------
PERIOD OF REMOVAL, RESTORATION, PREPARING THE WAY
--------------------------------------------------
This will be a period of removal. This will be a period of restoration. This will be a period of preparing the way and setting the course for the future.
---------------------------------------
THE FIRST 40 AND THEN THE NEXT 18 DAYS
---------------------------------------
The first 40 days of this period will be narrow, confining, and defining. The next 18 days will be set aside to remove weakness, infirmity, and that which has bent you over and kept you from advancing in the past. This will open the door for spiritual BREAKTHROUGH.
These 58 days will be intense, but strengthening. I will remove religious spirits that have embedded in My Body over the past 50 years. For now is the time for the generation that is rising to be released with a new mantle. This will be a time frame to define the mantle of authority to be worn by the carriers of vision into the next generation. This is a time for your enemies to be fully defined, and strategy to be developed for their exposure and overthrow."
------------------------------------------------
CRITICAL TIMING FOR THE RELEASE OF THIS WORD...
------------------------------------------------
I have sought the Lord almost daily over this word. I have needed to restrain myself from prematurely trying to enter into this time frame of prayer. Timing is so important. Even though God is sovereign and not in time as we are, we must respond to Him in time to see change manifest in the earth realm.
----------------------------------------------------------
NOW IS THE TIME! FEBRUARY 23 THROUGH APRIL 21 -- 58 DAYS!
----------------------------------------------------------
I believe NOW is the time for us to be focused. I have waited to declare this until the three days of fasting that precede the time of Purim. For us, that begins at sunset (6 PM) on Saturday, February 23. This should take us through April 21.
This is a HIGH ALERT time. Even though we have been walking, praying, and watching vigilantly since September 11, I believe plans are in place to overthrow and try to stop God's covenant people from advancing. These plans are hidden and very destructive. The enemy is positioning his leadership to bring great destruction.
This must be exposed. I have felt in my spirit these plans would begin to materialize after the Olympics.
-----------------------------------
PURIM: A TIME TO OVERTHROW DECREES
-----------------------------------
We are entering the season of Purim. This year, Purim coincides with the end of the Mecca journey (Hajj). There is an empowering by deadly demonic forces at the end of this journey. Therefore, God's people MUST rise up and allow His Holy Spirit to move in their lives.
Purim was a celebration of God's supernatural deliverance of the Jewish people from Haman's genocidal plot to destroy them in the time of Persia's King Artaxerxes. Now is a time to pray, read, and live out the book of Esther again. God is raising up new Mordecai's and Esther's to influence the world in days ahead.
These individuals will do radical exploits in His name. An excellent book concerning this is Jim Goll's: THE EXODUS CRY.
--------------------
ENEMY AT THE GATES
--------------------
In the time of Esther we find that the enemy had entered in the gates and was planning to overthrow the covenant blessings that God had for this people. In the book of Esther, Mordecai had exposed the enemy's plan and taken his authority at the gate.
The Lord says in Matthew 16: 18, ""And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." This is not a time for hell to prevail at your gate. Esther is a book about seeing the destiny of God's covenant manifest by legislating authority at the gates.
-------------------------------------------------------
GATEKEEPERS MUST PREVENT THE ENEMY FROM GETTING INSIDE
-------------------------------------------------------
The gate of a city was where all business transactions and legal matters occurred. The city gate was also the place where entrance into the city was permitted or forbid. A Biblical Gatekeeper was one who guarded access to a place. This included a city (2 Sam. 18:26; 2 Kings 7:10-11), a residence (John 18:17), the sacred precincts of the ark (1 Chron. 15:23-24), or the Temple (1 Chron. 23:5).
Temple gatekeepers were charged with preventing anyone unclean from entering the Temple (2 Chron. 23:19) and with guarding the Temple treasuries and storehouses (1 Chron. 9:26; 26:20-22; Neh. 12:25). Mordecai was a good gatekeeper. He knew the enemy had a plot and plan.
----------------------------------------------------------------
MANY OF YOU ARE BEING POSITIONED BY GOD FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
----------------------------------------------------------------
He also knew he had to have a connection to prevent the enemy's plan from prevailing. Esther was his connection who had been positioned by God for "such a time as this." Many of you are being positioned to see the plan of the enemy. Others of you are being positioned to be the connecting point to overthrow the enemy. I am praying for you that any plot of the enemy to try and stop the covenant blessings of your inheritance from coming forth in your life would be revealed.
Find your divine connections and overthrow the enemy's plan! This is time to overthrow decrees that have been set against God's covenant people that would stop us from corporately advancing. Those anti-Semitic decrees hate God's sovereign plan for the Jews as well as Christians that have been grafted into that plan. Nations that profess Christianity must rise up now.
Esther prayed and fasted three days prior to setting the wheels in motion to overthrow the enemy's plan. I would suggest you begin this period with three days of fasting. Fast as God leads you. This will prepare you for what you must face for your victory ahead.
--------------------
THE MEANING OF "58"
--------------------
50 is the number connected with the Holy Spirit in the Word. Biblically, there was outpouring of the Spirit represented by the number 50. This number is also connected with return and restoration. 50 represents a redemption out of debt. 8 always means a NEW BEGINNING or new order of things. 8 is the number of new birth or new creation.
This number also represents the Davidic anointing coming into place. During this 58-day period, cry out for the Holy Spirit to visit the portion God has given you. May the gift within you be released. May the land you are a part of receive a visitation.
Declare the new order for the future of what you're going to be a part of to begin to develop and come into place. Declare the power of restoration to overtake your life and the area that you are praying for. Declare a visitation of the HOLY GHOST. The Holy Spirit is the only restraining force against evil. We must cry out for the Holy Spirit to come upon our land.
------------------------------------------------------------------
MAY ALL DEBT STRUCTURES, FINANCIAL OR RELATIONAL-- BEGIN TO BREAK
------------------------------------------------------------------
Revival of the Spirit of God is beginning to break out and manifest in many areas and churches throughout our nation. Allow the Holy Spirit to set the order for the next season of church life as we know it. So during these 58 days, declare THE HOLY SPIRIT TO RESTORE, CREATE A NEW ORDER IN YOUR LIFE, AND RETURN YOU TO THE FULL PLAN THAT HE HAS FOR YOU AND YOUR INHERITANCE. May all debt structures, whether financial or relational (unforgiveness), begin to break in your life.
-----------------------
58 DAYS FROM ISAIAH 58
-----------------------
Isaiah 58 seems to be the key passage for how to pray during this season. The prayer of faith is so vital. True worship is more important than religious ritual. This is a time for all religious ritual to break as God raises up His remnant for this hour. This is a time for the religious box to break from around the Church, and for God's power to flood this nation. This is a time for new compassion. If our faith lacks sincerity, we never break into the best that God has for us. True prayer and worship sets priorities for our life, our family, and the city we're a part of.

BREAKTHROUGH! ONE OF THE NAMES OF GOD
----------------------------------------
One of the names and characteristics of God is "the Breaker." The Lord is ready to establish Himself at the gates of our lives, churches, cities, and nation.
Micah 2:13 says, "The one who breaks open will come up before them; They will break out, Pass through the gate, And go out by it; Their king will pass before them, With the LORD at their head."
Barbara Yoder says in "The Breaker Anointing," -- "This Breaker has all authority to enter into every other kingdom and nation and begin to break us out of those kingdom's rule into a place of freedom and liberty, life and inheritance. He not only breaks us out of the imprisoning kingdom but also establishes a new Kingdom in its stead. He is the King of kings."
Elijah travailed with his head between his knees until the cloud that he saw by the spirit in the heavens came into the earth realm (1 Kings 18).
"Breakthrough" is a term that means an offensive thrust that penetrates and carries beyond a defensive line in warfare; a sudden advance in knowledge or technique; moving through an obstruction; to disrupt the continuity or flow of an old system, bring it to an end, and begin something new. IT IS TIME FOR THE LORD TO BREAKTHROUGH, THE CHURCH TO BREAKOUT, AND THE DEVIL'S STRATEGIES TO BREAKUP.
Blessings,
Chuck D. Pierce
