劬勞的時間已滿足 – 現在是生產的時刻

『婦人生產的時候就憂愁，因為她的時候到了；既生了孩子，就不再記念那苦楚，因為歡喜世上生了一個人。』（約16：21）

最近我一直聽到主說，『這是生產的季節』。對你們當中的許多人而言，你的第九個月已臨到而將要誕生出偉大的事情。我不認為這只是關乎異象被產生；我相信這是異象的果子被結出。你已歷經屬靈的懷孕期，你已經過劬勞，現在是生產的時刻了。

現在，不要掛念這九個月的自然分娩。這段季節對你們而言，有些人是多於九個月也有些是少於九個月；這只是闡述的一種方式，讓你能了解你所曾經歷的和你將要邁入的。

就如同自然分娩，當你第一次得知神對你生命中某些特別的異象，這真令人興奮。你告訴所有你的家人，你的朋友，你持續地思考這異象。幾個月之後，你的興奮仍在那兒但你開始感覺不舒適了。你是興奮的，但你真的不想要經歷有這『嬰兒』的全盤過程。

越接近末期就越不舒適，你越焦慮，你只想著就要這嬰兒就得了！然後生產的時刻臨到，生產的過程，疼痛，但你繼續下去，因為你知道回報是遠遠超過你所必須經歷的。

這就是你的現況。你的異象誕生；你體驗將臨到的所帶來的興奮。你經歷過不舒適的階段，嘗試著來適應神在靈裡頭所賜給你的這屬靈的『嬰兒』。你在劬勞的季節，你感覺些疼痛，你經歷些掙扎。有些時候你真想放棄，但你不能；因著在另一端的回報獎賞是遠超過你所經歷的，所以你知道你不能放棄。 

這是神現在要給你的話，『劬勞的時間已滿足，現在是生產的時刻』。你將要如同你所夢想般地邁入你的呼召。

停止哀悼！你的異象不會中止也不會死去！

對你們中間的某些人，你想要放棄多年前神放在你心中的異象。你放棄了。你將之拋諸腦後如同已逝，但你所誤認為中止的並非如此。神正在重新點燃你的異象。

『過了不多時（有古卷：次日），耶穌往一座城去，這城名叫拿因，他的門徒和極多的人與他同行。將近城門，有一個死人被抬出來。這人是他母親獨生的兒子；他母親又是寡婦。有城裡的許多人同著寡婦送殯。主看見那寡婦，就憐憫她，對她說：「不要哭！」於是進前按著槓，抬的人就站住了。耶穌說：「少年人，我吩咐你，起來！」那死人就坐起，並且說話。耶穌便把他交給他母親。』（路7：11-15）

以下是當我讀完上面的經文後主立即對我說的話：『對於一些讀這文的人，魔鬼已為你的夢想籌組了喪葬遊行，但神正對你的夢想說話，“起來！”不要傾聽撒但丟在你面前的謊言。你是為了此時此刻而誕生。今年夢將被喚醒並且起死回生！』

回到當時這段經文的時刻，專業的哀悼者被僱聘來為死者哀哭。撒但已為著你的夢想和異象僱了和委託牠的惡魔成為專業的哀悼者，但這是哀悼終結的時刻。對你而言並不算晚；是你再度尋夢的時刻！神正再度點燃你的激情！

事情將對你變得更輕鬆容易；不管你過去劬勞了多久，你正要生產出你一直夢想的夢想出來！



"The Time of Laboring is Over – It's Time to Give Birth"

A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. John 16:21 NIV

Recently I kept hearing the Lord say, "This is a birthing season." For many of you, your ninth month is upon you and you are about to birth something great. I don't believe this is just a vision being birthed; I believe this is the fruit of that vision being birthed. You've gone through a season of spiritual pregnancy; you've had your time of laboring; now it's time to give birth.

Now, don't get hung up on the nine months of a natural birth. This season you've been in may have lasted longer than nine months or less than nine months; it's just a figure of speech to give you a picture of what you've been going through and what you're stepping into.

Much like a natural birth, when you first have a vision of something specific that God has for your life, it's exciting. You tell all of your family and your friends, you constantly think about that vision. After a few months, the excitement is still there but you begin to get uncomfortable. You're excited, but you really don't want to go through the whole process to have this "baby."

The closer it gets to the end the more uncomfortable it gets, the more anxious you get, and you just want to have this baby! Then comes the time to give birth, the labor process, the pain, but you keep going because you know that the reward far outweighs anything you have to go through. (Photo via Pixabay)

This is where you're at. You've birthed a vision; you've experienced the excitement of what is to come. You've gone through times of being uncomfortable, trying to adjust to this spiritual "baby" that God is forming within your spirit. You're in a season of laboring, you've felt some pain, and you've experienced some struggles. There have been times when you wanted to give up, but you can't; you know you can't give up because the reward on the other side of this is much greater than you what you've been going through.

This is the word of the Lord to you now, "The time of laboring is over, and it's time to give birth." You're about to step into your calling just like you have dreamed about.

Stop Mourning! Your Vision is Not Aborted Nor Dead!

For some of you, you've thought about aborting that vision that God placed inside of you many years ago. You gave up on it, you wrote it off as dead, but what you thought was aborted was not. God is re-igniting your vision again.

Soon afterward Jesus went with His disciples to the village of Nain, and a large crowd followed Him. A funeral procession was coming out as He approached the village gate. The young man who had died was a widow's only son, and a large crowd from the village was with her. When the Lord saw her, His heart overflowed with compassion. "Don't cry!" He said. Then He walked over to the coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped. "Young man," He said, "I tell you, get up." Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk! And Jesus gave him back to his mother. Luke 7:11-15 NLT

This is what the Lord spoke to me immediately after reading this passage: "For some of you reading this, the devil has organized a funeral procession for your dreams, but God is saying to your dreams,'Get up!' Don't listen to the lies satan throws your way. You were born for such a time as this. Dreams are being awakened and brought back to life this year!" (Photo via Pixabay)

Back during the time of this passage, professional mourners would actually be hired to mourn the dead. Satan has hired and commissioned his demons to be professional mourners over your dreams and visions, but it's time for the mourning to end. It is not too late for you; it's time for you to dream again! God is re-igniting your passion again!

Things are about to get a little easier for you; no longer will you labor like you have been, you're giving birth to those dreams you've been dreaming!
