New Releases by Chuck D

Inheritance means taking hold of the portion God has planned for you. Jesus said, I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly (John 10:10), demonstrating God’s longing for His people to prosper, to accomplish all He has planned for them. He wants to take them from a place of judgment, desolation and fruitlessness to a place of restoration, hope and abundant life. In this revised and updated edition of Possessing Your Inheritance, prophetic intercessor Chuck Pierce, with co-author Rebecca Wagner Sytsema, shows readers how to embrace what God has destined for them, and for their children and their children’s children.

The 21st-century commodity is time. Unless Christians have an understanding of how God sees and uses time, the foundation of their lives and their calling will not be aligned with His plan.

Although Christians often feel defeated and victimized by Satan and his minions, Scripture says that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus and that it''s possible to live without giving Satan any ground. So why don''t more Christians experience spiritual victory and power? Chuck Pierce says it''s because we spend more time licking our wounds than we do studying Satan''s sniper strategies so that we can find the shooter. The key to overcoming our enemy is to become more shrewd in recognizing his strategies, to pray in specific ways that help us to overcome Satan''s attacks, and to wear the armor described in Ephesians 6. As we learn to pray--with power and authority--prayers of submission, confrontation, faith, wisdom, breakthrough, and more, we can learn to outwit the enemy of our souls.

This message from Chuck Pierce and Robert Heidler likens our spiritual defense to that of the children of Israel while in battle. Within the ranks there were those who carried huge shields to protect the bulk of the army. And just as we fight spiritual battles today, there is a mighty shield we can carry to protect us. This shield of faith is one of the main ways we can resist our enemy''s attacks. We are fully capable of resisting the enemy''s attacks, but we must first be able to recognize how Satan fights. His main weapons are to create fear and doubt in us and to tempt us to become complainers and murmurers. If we succumb, our faith is weakened. The keys to increasing our faith are found in knowing the Word of God, which engenders praise, thankfulness, trust, and obedience.

God has a wonderful destiny for every life, but many Christians die never having accomplished all that God has for them. Pierce and Sytsema take a deeper look into why so many miss their divine calling. This book is filled with rich, fresh insight for finding God''s direction in life, family, and territory.
