預備好面對六月金龜子

默想以賽亞書第60章時,我聽見聖靈對我說,“留意六月金龜子。”你可能知道,以賽亞書第60章講的是大光將要照進黑暗的時代和地方,也講到大批財富將要從萬國轉移到神的子民手中。那麼,六月金龜子跟這幅大光照耀和財富轉移的景象有什麼相干呢?

六月金龜子是什麼?這是一種以樹葉和其他植物為生的大甲蟲。雖然它們會侵噬樹葉和灌木,但最大的危害來自它們產在地下的幼蟲。這些幼蟲長在看不見的地方,卻會侵蝕草和莊稼的根部。以下是摘自維基百科Wikipedia.com對某一類六月金龜子的描述:

“它們的幼蟲以植物根莖為食,會削弱甚至殺死植物的生命力。因此它們是農業害蟲,會影響相當多種類的農作物。”(圖片源自Pixabay)

我相信神是在講論六月份會在社會各個山頭發生的事情,特別是政治山頭。神也是在向祂的教會講說,不能允許仇敵在幕後扼殺掉神國度中所長成的。

有智慧的園林工作者和農夫會學習識別這種害蟲的先兆,隨後翻土曬地來除滅幼蟲。後知後覺的人則會蒙受損失,植物或莊稼會突然之間枯萎然後死去。我曾在北伊利諾州的草坪上見識過這種幼蟲的厲害。整片綠草坪中有大片大片的棕色區塊,一開始我完全不明白是什麼原因。六月到了,夏季開始。在炎熱乾燥的酷暑中,六月金龜子幼蟲的威力開始顯現。我預計在六月結束之前,就能發現一些證據。換言之,一些隱藏的事情會被顯露。許多事物賴以存活的根系將被根除,公眾會親眼見證後續結果。(編注 參閱 我正在釋放出揭發者

教會中的六月金龜子

新約時期基督教的根系是與神的關係,和與弟兄姐妹之間的關係。(參見使徒行傳前幾章。)垂直向下的主根代表我們與神的關係,橫向生長的根系是我們與肢體的關係。無論何事何物,只要它介入我們個人生命或教會生命中破壞這些關係,就視同六月金龜子幼蟲。這些“幼蟲”會有各種樣式,比如嫉妒、受傷的感覺、不滿、自憐、憤怒、個人野心,諸如此類,而且隱藏得別人看不見。然而,這一切會侵蝕掉關係的根,用不了多久,教會或事工就會在眾人面前漸漸枯萎和死去。

社會(尤其是政府)中的六月金龜子

我們已經見過這些地下殺手們侵略我們聖經根基與產業的後果。它們在社會各個山頭進攻,包括家庭,宗教,教育,政府,藝術和娛樂,媒體和傳播,以及商業和金融。這些神與美國的敵人使我們損失重大,全球基督教世界都蒙受牽連。 

然而,現在我們要專注於政府山頭。我深切確鑿地相信,神已差遣這些貪婪饑餓的六月金龜子狼吞虎嚥地吃掉混雜在好種子之中的稗子和雜草的根。到目前為止,我們僅僅看到一些外在的葉子被大塊大塊啃食,但還沒有看到幼蟲們一直以來在植物根莖下所做的毀滅工作。(圖片作者Stephen Friedt,源自維基媒體Wikimedia Commons)

那些貪污腐敗和欺詐,貪婪和謀取私利,使許多政府官員道德淪喪,成為竊賊,盜取了我們屬神的先輩透過憲法、人權法案和其他法律規章為我們構建的。他們幾乎隱於地下,躲過雷達。但注意!六月金龜子將要吃盡那些滋生腐敗的根系,而腐敗必將被曝光。

好消息是…

回到以賽亞書第60章,當黑暗極其深重時,光會興起、照耀。黑暗不能勝過那光,而光要使一切隱藏在黑暗裡的都顯露出來。

當黑暗之地暴露於光中,只有那些內裡已有世界之光的人會安然自在地沐浴在光中。他們是那些已蒙大光照耀的人,他們是那些已看見主的榮耀的人。

興起!發光!因為你的光已經來到!耶和華的榮耀發現照耀你。看哪!黑暗遮蓋大地,幽暗遮蓋萬民,耶和華卻要顯現照耀你!他的榮耀要現在你身上。萬國要來就你的光,君王要來就你發現的光輝。以賽亞書60:1-3

我放膽預言,屬神的男人和女人們將要興起,在政府中身居要職。將來,選民們和那些正當權者必要選擇他們做自己的代表。

即將來到的風暴

關於美國和全球體系將要面臨的迫在眉睫的風暴,討論聲已由竊竊私語升級到巨大喧嘩。基督徒們,準備好;興奮起來,不要驚惶,因為主你的神不會丟棄你。相反,祂會使用風暴和每一次危難打開新的機會之門,祝福那些愛祂並祂的國度的人。

為大收割預備的財富轉移

有先知性恩賜的朋友們已經清清楚楚地講明,財富大轉移不可能在和平繁榮的年代發生,而是在混亂、經濟危機和社會危機中進行。透過這些風暴,神會鬆開貪婪人對世界財富的掌控,拿走經濟倉房的鑰匙,然後祂便可以將它們交給那些單單渴望在大收割的季節拓展祂國度的人。 

屬神的大能者們已經預言了美國的大型體育場館和開闊地將舉行長期持續不斷的復興特會。我相信財富大轉移會成為這些活動的經費支持,並大力支持差派火熱的宣教士直到地極。我確信聖靈正在說這場財富大轉移將助力於完成那應許——“認識耶和華榮耀的知識,要充滿遍地,好像水充滿洋海一般。”(參見哈巴谷書2:14)。將會有眾多內心炙熱愛慕耶穌的人,帶著那榮耀。神的偉大、良善以及憐憫的大能和愛,將透過他們的親身見證充滿遍地。(圖片源自Pixabay)

社會的各個山頭都將經歷這些風暴和後續影響

當政府和經濟的山頭被有品格、有屬天智慧的人們佔據,那些對破壞家庭山頭、宗教山頭的法令會被扭轉過來。教育將不再扭曲學生的思想和態度,藝術和娛樂會更加正直神聖,傳媒會摒棄無神論和政治偏好,這樣美國和全球都將享受再一次的大覺醒。

留心六月金龜子的來臨

我們已經看到了這簡單啟示的許多實際案例。我們得確保不讓這些小小的髒兮兮的生物(六月金龜子)毀掉我們與神的關係,以及與神國度中的夥伴們的關係。相反地,讓它們去吃仇敵播撒在社會各山頭中的稗子和邪惡作物吧。事實上,讓我們運用耶利米的權柄。神說祂要將祂的話放在耶利米口中,那一刻耶利米得著了這權柄。那天耶利米還是個青年人,祂對他說,(圖片“興起,發光”,作者Donna Smallenberg,源自elijahshopper.com)

看哪!我今日立你在列邦列國之上,為要施行拔出、拆毀、毀壞、傾覆,又要建立、栽植。”(耶利米書1:10)。

何不助這些六月金龜子一臂之力,同時給它們一些宣告和命令,比如:

“我宣告並命令,掌控著各政府、列國和在位掌權者,使他們抵擋天國在地上的擴張,透過腐敗和貪婪建立邪惡的仇敵權勢要被連根拔除。好讓正直的男人和女人被興起,帶領他們的人民回轉向他們先祖的神。我們為被仇敵利用的個人祈求恩慈憐憫,我們也祈求悔改的恩典,因為我們不是與屬血氣的爭戰,但我們確實奪得了權柄,淩駕於他們曾為之屈膝效力的勢力之上。”

如果你在今年春夏看到任何六月金龜子,別忘了神正在做的事。



"Get Ready for the June Bugs"
Ben R. Peters, South Beloit, IL
May 18, 2015

While meditating on Isaiah 60, I heard the Spirit say to me, "Be aware of the June Bug." As you may know, Isaiah 60 speaks of great light coming in a dark time and place. It also speaks of a huge transfer of wealth from the nations to the people of God. So how do June bugs fit into this picture of light and wealth transfer?

What are June Bugs? They are a fairly large beetle that live off the foliage of trees and other plants. However, although they may damage the leaves and shrubs they eat, the biggest danger comes from the larvae they lay in the ground. These larvae are hidden from view, but eat away at the roots of grass and food crops. Here's a quote from Wikipedia.com regarding one type of June Bug:

"They can be an agricultural pest affecting a wide range of crops because their larvae feed on plant roots and can weaken or kill the plants." (Photo via Pixabay)

I believe God is speaking about things that will be taking place during the month of June in the mountains of society, especially the government mountain. God is also speaking to His Church, that we do not allow the enemy to work behind the scenes to kill what has already grown in His Kingdom.

The wise landscaper and farmer learns to recognize the early signs of this pest and treats the ground to kill the grubs. Those who are not aware will suffer loss, as plants will suddenly wilt and then die. I've seen the results of grubs in our lawn in northern Illinois. At first I had no idea what was causing these big areas of brown spots in our otherwise green lawn.

Summer begins in the month of June. It's during the dry heat of summer that the effect of the June Bug larvae begins to show. I anticipate that we will see some of that evidence before June has passed. In other words, some hidden things will be exposed. The roots that kept a variety of things alive will be rooted out and the public will witness the results.

June Bugs in the Church

The roots of true New Testament Christianity are relationships with God and relationships with our brothers and sisters. (Note the early chapters of the Book of Acts.) The deepest roots represent our relationship with God and the horizontal roots our relationships with others. Whatever comes into our lives and the life of the Church to destroy those relationships is like the June Bug larvae. It can take many different forms, such as jealousy, hurt feelings, resentments, self-pity, anger, selfish ambition, etc., and be kept out of view of others, but all of these things will eat away at the roots of relationships and, before long, the church or ministry will be wilting and dying for all to witness.

June Bugs in Society, Government in Particular

We have seen the effects of these underground killers attacking our Biblical foundations and inheritance on every mountain of society, including the family, religion, education, government, arts and entertainment, media and communication, and business and finance. So much has been lost and destroyed by the enemy of God and of America, and the whole Christian world has been impacted as a result.

However, right now we want to focus on the mountain of government. I do believe that God has commissioned the greedy and hungry June Bugs to devour the roots of the tares, or weeds, that have been sown among the good seeds. To this point we have only seen some of the outward foliage with good sized bites taken out of it, but we have not yet seen the damage that the grubs have been doing to the roots of these plants. (Photo by Stephen Friedt via Wikimedia Commons)

These are plants of corruption and deceit; plants of greed and personal gain, that have turned many of our government representatives into unethical and immoral thieves, robbing us of what our godly forefathers gave us in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and other documents. They have mostly stayed below the surface and under the radar. But watch out! The June Bugs will be taring the roots that have fed the corruption and the corruption will be exposed.

And the Good News Is...

Getting back to Isaiah 60, the light will arise and shine when the darkness is very great. The darkness cannot overpower the light, but the light will reveal what has been hidden in the darkness.

When the dark places are exposed, only those who have the Light of the World in them will be comfortable under the light. They will be those upon whom The Light has already shone. They will be those upon whom the glory of the Lord is seen.

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. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Isaiah 60:1-3

I am boldly prophesying that men and women of God will rise up and take major leadership roles in government, and voters and those already in authority will choose them to represent them in the future.

Coming Storms

The voices speaking of impending storms in America and the world systems have gone from a whisper to a loud roar. Get ready, Christians; but get excited and not afraid, for the Lord your God will not forsake you. Rather, He will use the storm and every crisis to open new doors of opportunity and blessing to those who love Him and His Kingdom.

The Transfer of Wealth for the Harvest

Prophetic friends have spoken clearly that the great transfer of wealth cannot happen in a time of peace and prosperity. It will come in a time of turmoil and financial and social crises. God will be loosing the greedy man's grip on the world's wealth and take away the keys to the financial storehouses through these storms, so that He can give them to those who just want to prosper His Kingdom in this time of great Harvest.

Great men of God have prophesied long-running revival meetings in major sports stadiums and in open fields in America. I believe the transfer of wealth will finance these events, as well as the sending out of on-fire evangelists to the ends of the earth. I do believe that the Holy Spirit is saying that this transfer of wealth will help to fulfill the promise that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the seas (see Habakkuk 2:14). It will be radical lovers of Jesus that carry the glory. They will be the ones who flood the earth with their own personal testimonies of God's greatness, goodness, and compassionate power and love. (Photo via Pixabay)

All Mountains of Society Will Be Impacted by These Storms and Their Consequences

When the mountains of government and finances are taken over by people with character and godly wisdom, destructive laws impacting the mountains of family and religion will be reversed. Education will stop perverting the minds and attitudes of students, arts and entertainment will become more godly, media and communication will lose its atheistic and political bias, and America and the world will enjoy another great awakening.

Be Aware of the Coming of the June Bugs

We can readily see many applications of this simple revelation. We need to make sure we don't allow these grubby little creatures (June Bugs) to destroy our relationships with God and Kingdom partners. Instead, let them feed on the tares and the wicked plants the enemy has sown into the mountains of society. In fact, let's use Jeremiah's mandate, which he received when God said He was putting His words in Jeremiah's mouth. He then told him that day, while Jeremiah was still a youth: (Photo by Donna Smallenberg "Arise, Shine" via elijahshopper.com)

"See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant"(Jeremiah 1:10).

Why not give the June Bugs a little hand and make some declarations and decrees, such as the following:

"I declare and decree that the demonic forces that control governments and nations and individuals in positions of authority, who are opposing the advancement of the Kingdom of Heaven on this earth and establishing wickedness through corruption and greed, will be rooted out, so that righteous men and women may rise up and lead their people back to the God of their Fathers. We pray for mercy for the individuals that the enemy has used, and we pray for grace to repent, for we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but we do take authority over the forces that they have yielded to."

If you see any June Bugs this spring and summer, don't forget what God is up to.
