最棒的基督徒生命12
門訓資源
這幾週我們一直在思想成為萬王之王門徒的意義，在我們繼續談到成為祂僕人的意義前，我們需要先來看幾個觀點。
首先，不是許多人像保羅一樣有機會花十年以上來尋求主，為了得著其呼召與信息的啟示。聖經並沒有告訴我們保羅在那段時間是否有工作，但很可能他有工作，正如他被差派成為使徒後仍熟練的在織帳棚。或者，他可能有幾年時間單單尋求主，但無論如何，他分別一段時間來追求此啟示。若有可能這樣做更好，當然不是每個人都可能這樣做，我們的門訓不需經歷這些，除非有其必要。
倘若您需要全職工作，您有家庭或其他義務，若成為萬王之王門徒真的是您生命中最崇高的目的，您仍可以好好預備。更重要的是我們這樣做是出於對神的心，並且渴望服事祂。
我先前能夠花數年時間研讀並尋求主，就算當我成為機師後，我常常一天有幾小時在飛機或旅館房間研讀。在多年研讀後，我濃縮一些所學，將最精華的部分寫成書，別人只要花幾小時就可以吸收。神給我恩典研讀，是為了那些沒有像我一樣時間的人。
我們為晨星大學開發一個計畫將在明年執行，我們將這些年超過我想像最棒的教導濃縮成精華。我認為那些來到晨星大學學習一年精華的人，通常需要花上我們多年的時間才能得著。我感到開發此課程的急迫性以加速我們在做的一切，為了在這些時候來裝備神的百姓。
一些有史以來最棒的牧師、教師和先知性的聲音正活在現在，我們何等蒙福在晨星事工能聽到他們的傳講。我們將一些各種主題中最好的信息放在線上課程，當我還是年幼的基督徒時，我根本不敢作夢會有這般的資源。我認為現在任何真實的尋求者都可以累積我所擁有的一切知識，此外還有其他很棒的裝備學校為要來的收割而預備。主真的將祂最好的酒存留到最後！
在我們曾舉辦與我曾參與過的特會，我感覺在三天集中又大能的特會形式中所領受的，可能超過許多學校多年的課程。當然，只有飢渴的才會來參加特會─為長程旅途、旅館與其他花費付上代價，他們會為此得著獎賞，只有少數人說他們所得著的沒有像原本所期待的那麼多。特會是主快速預備祂百姓的重要策略，因為時間不多了。
我的妹妹黛比和我每一季都會舉辦寫作研習營，人數上限為30人。我們在3天的研習營中分賜參與者我們幾十年所學。每一次我們這樣做，我都認為若照著我現在所知道的寫作技巧，我的書不知會比我初寫作時好上多少。而這些參與寫作營的人現在就可以得著─只要三天！雖然看起來似乎不太公平，但能幫助萬王之王的僕人更佳服事祂是何等的尊榮，而且此寫作營是其中一個我做喜愛做的事。
我的重點是，倘若您有心成為王所配得的門徒，現在有許多隨手可得的教導與訓練，其層級是幾十年前無法想像的，在第一世紀更少。能活在這些時候實在非凡；主就是教師，倘若我們如同起初的愛來尋求祂，祂會教導我們。首要的事是每天下定決心：每天的主要目的是向我們的夫子主耶穌學習，變得更像祂，並且尋求做祂曾做過的事。

Resources for Discipleship- The Greatest Christian Life, Part 12
Week 12, 2015
Rick Joyner
As we have been considering what it means to be a disciple of the King of kings, we need to look at a couple of other aspects before moving on to cover what it means to be His bondservant.
First, not many have the opportunity to take a decade or more, as the Apostle Paul did, to seek the Lord for revelation of his calling and message. We are not told if Paul worked during this period, but it is likely he did, as he was still a skilled tentmaker after being sent out as an apostle. Or, he may have had several years to exclusively seek the Lord. But regardless, he had a concentrated time of pursing this revelation. This is preferred, if it is possible. Of course, it is not possible for everyone, and our discipleship need not suffer if it isn’t.
If you need to work a full-time job, and you have a family or other obligations, you can still be well prepared if being the King’s disciple is truly the highest purpose of your life. It is more about heart and a focus driven by our love for God and desire to serve Him.
I was able to spend years studying and seeking the Lord. Even when I worked as a corporate or charter pilot, I usually had hours a day in airports and hotel rooms that I used for study. After years of study, I condensed some of what I learned and put the best of it into my books, which can now be absorbed by others in a few hours. I was given the grace to study for the sake of those who did not have the time that I did.
We have developed a plan for MorningStar University that will be implemented next year. We are condensing some of the best teaching we have into one of the most high-impact years I could have ever imagined. I think those who come to MSU will get in one year the cream of what it took some of us many years to get. I felt compelled to develop this to speed up all we are doing to equip God’s people in these times.
Some of the greatest pastors, teachers, and prophetic voices of all time are alive today, and we have been very blessed to have had most of them speak at MorningStar. We are taking the best messages ever spoken here on any subject and are putting them into our online courses. I could not have dreamed of having resources like this when I was a young Christian. I think any true seeker can now accumulate all of the knowledge I have and more in a fraction of the time. There are other incredible schools equipping multitudes for the coming harvest. The Lord really has saved His best wine for last!
At conferences we have hosted and others I’ve attended, I have felt more wisdom and knowledge come out in a concentrated, powerful form in three days than could have been received in many college courses that would take years. Of course, only the hungriest come to conferences—paying for travel, hotels, and other costs—and they get rewarded for it. In the years we have been doing conferences (nearly two hundred now), we have only had a couple of people say they did not get much more than they were expecting. Conferences are a major strategy of the Lord to prepare His people more quickly, because the time is short.
My sister, Debbie, and I host a Writer’s Seminar each quarter that is limited to no more than thirty people. In three days we impart to attendees what took us decades to learn. Every time we do this, I think how much better my books would have been had I known when I started writing what I know now. Well, these people get it now—in three days! It doesn't seem fair, but it is a great honor to help the King’s servants serve Him better, and this seminar is one of my favorite things to do.
My main point is, if you have the heart to be the kind of disciple the King is worthy of, there are many ways available now to get teaching and training on a level hardly imaginable a couple of decades ago, much less in the first century. To be living in these times is remarkable. The Lord is the Teacher, and if we are seeking Him as our first love, He will teach us. The main thing is to resolve every day that the main purpose of each day is to learn from the Master, become more like Him, and seek to do the works He did.
