主題：（2015年）九月13日至23日：一段更清楚聽到神的聲音，獲得方向的特殊時刻

這個月對我們所有人而言是一個激勵人心的時刻。被稱之為“Rosh Hashanah”的猶太新年，就適逢今年的9月13-15日。Yom Kippur（或贖罪日）是在9月22日至23日，被認為是最神聖的猶太節日之一。從歷史上來看，猶太人相信神在猶太新年和贖罪日這段期間考察我們的生命，看看我們是否已經準備好靈性的前進或是提升到一個成熟的新水平。無論你是否知曉，這是一段你能更清楚聽到神的聲音並且獲得方向的時刻。

恩賜被重新分配

今年神將恩賜和呼召從那些還沒有被使用的，或是那些已經跌倒或死亡的人們身上拿走，將之重新分配給那些會來使用它們以推進神的國度的人們。這並不意味著你會得著別人的外衣，而是各種恩賜被分送出去。這正在迅速地發生。（照片源自 Wikimedia）

今年早些時候我有一個相遇，在當中一個天使遞給我一把屬於一個領導者的失去光澤的鑰匙。他告訴我，這是關乎生死的鑰匙。它類似於在啟示錄3：7中所提到的大衛鑰匙，“…開了就沒有人能關、關了就沒有人能開的”（注1）。

我用它來為自己擺脫長達好幾年的疾病的監禁，而我現在痊癒了。我注意到當我在服事時帶著新的先知性的權威。我常常得著生命的“先知預言的鑰匙”是為了來幫助人們。這就是關於神所說的恩賜重新分配的一個例子。注意觀看某些要賜給你的。

理解將被延展 

要準備好被延展，因為神所正在做的事是在我們的舒適區之外。我們現在正在受到挑戰以進入理解的新層面。新一波的啟示正被釋放出來，這將幫助我們進展地更有效益。它會需要你將目前一些對當今不相關的教義和信條放手。

以賽亞書54：2，“要擴張你帳幕之地，張大你居所的幔子，不要限止；要放長你的繩子，堅固你的橛子”。

這樣的延展將超過你所可能夢想的程度來擴張你生命中的事物！（注：此句帶有很強的膏抹，請憑信心領受。感謝神！）

在你的地下室裏有什麼？ 

神正在呼召一些人們將某些不再被使用的東西讓與那些可以從中受益的人們。這是一個前所未有的時刻，我們必需要來將神國度的資源傳遞下去。

在幾個月前我做了一個異夢，有人被呼召要來啟動新的東西，但卻沒有足夠的資源來從事。在夢裡有個人，教會和企業具有儲備未用的東西。我請他們分享出來，但他們卻是出於懼怕的囤積，擔心情勢以後可能變壞而可能會需要它們。 

神正在呼召人們免費贈與別人那些你不再使用的東西。這可能以金錢，設備，投資，企業，個人或建築物的形式。具有神國度的身量視野將會帶給你更大的回報。所以現在不要退縮或來囤積東西（羅11:36）（注2）。

先知性的音樂啟發出來 

上個月我有一個異夢，之前參與神的運動的一位先知有一個受膏的樂器。他拿出一把非常時尚的黑色小提琴，並開始演奏。當他如此行時就釋放出先知性的洞見以及能夠在更深的層次中於屬靈的界域中看見的能力。（圖片源自elijahshopper.com，Jennifer Page ，“Key to a New Sound”）

在異夢中，他遞給我一把也是黑色的小提琴。不過弓看上去像一個汽車雨刷。當他加入時我能很熟練地彈奏“I Saw the Light ”這首歌曲。神對我說話，有一個對於音樂的新的恩膏被釋放出來，將要打開人們的眼睛，並提升他們獲得更深的洞見的能力。

你晉升的門 

要達到晉升和前進是經由一段更深層次的修剪的時間。有些信條，教義和操作的方式在這個新季節裏不再實用或是有利。神現在正在修剪人們。這意味著祂正指出並挪除掉不需要的東西。 

所保存下來的將僅是為了這個特定的時間和季節神國度的東西。雖然這可能包括罪，但主要是信條和教義方面的。（照片源自Pixabay） 

約翰福音15：1-4，“我是真葡萄樹，我父是栽培的人。凡屬我不結果子的枝子，他就剪去；凡結果子的，他就修理乾淨，使枝子結果子更多。現在你們因我講給你們的道，已經乾淨了。你們要常在我裡面，我也常在你們裡面。枝子若不常在葡萄樹上，自己就不能結果子；你們若不常在我裡面，也是這樣。”

這段期間更深層的潔凈，結果將導致與神更為密切的關係，並且你將擁有更大的權柄。約翰福音15：7，“你們若常在我裡面，我的話也常在你們裡面，凡你們所願意的，祈求，就給你們成就“。

神希望我們擁有喜樂，愛和合一。祂正在醫治那些秉持著與之相反的特質在運作的人們。約翰福音15：11-12，“這些事我已經對你們說了，是要叫我的喜樂存在你們心裡，並叫你們的喜樂可以滿足。你們要彼此相愛，像我愛你們一樣；這就是我的命令”。

朋友和家人 

神正在呼召我們要超越“僕人的模式”，我們只做我們被告知的。祂正在呼召我們成為朋友和家人。神的國度就像一個家族企業，我們每個人都具有所有權。（圖片源自Wikipedia）

約翰福音15：13-15，“人為朋友捨命，人的愛心沒有比這個大的。你們若遵行我所吩咐的，就是我的朋友了。以後我不再稱你們為僕人，因僕人不知道主人所做的事。我乃稱你們為朋友；因我從我父所聽見的，已經都告訴你們了“。

隨著我們更接近神的目的，我們將對“主子的事務”獲得更深入的了解。

神對我們的命令 

愛是我們所做一切的關鍵。這是一個被忽視的命令，但神正在呼召我們回到像耶穌那樣的單純的愛。這意味著來愛與我們不同的人們。這正是正臨到的延展的一部分。

約翰福音15：16-17，“不是你們揀選了我，是我揀選了你們，並且分派你們去結果子，叫你們的果子常存，使你們奉我的名，無論向父求甚麼，他就賜給你們。我這樣吩咐你們，是要叫你們彼此相愛“。

你被呼召並被揀選來結出聖靈的果子（加拉太書5：22-23）（注3）以幫助他人。能來幫助我們渡過眼前這個新季節的就是愛。如果你已經精疲力竭，是時候來用愛和喜樂加油了。

這將是一個令人驚異的新年度！

祝福你，
艾道格

"September 13-23: A Special Time to Hear God More Clearly and Gain Direction"
Doug Addison, Los Angeles, CA
Sep 8, 2015

This month is an exciting time for us all. The Jewish New Year, called Rosh Hashanah, falls on September 13-15 this year. Yom Kippur (or Day of Atonement) is September 22-23 and is considered one of the most holy Jewish holidays. Even though we are no longer under the Law of Moses, God still operates on the Jewish calendar.

Historically, Jewish people believe that God examines our lives during the time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to see if we are ready for spiritual advancement or promotion to a new level of maturity. Whether you are aware of it or not, this is a time when you are able to hear God more clearly and gain direction.

Gifts Being Redistributed

This year God is taking gifts and callings that people have not been using or those of people who have fallen or died and is redistributing them to those who will use them to advance the Kingdom. This does not mean that you will get someone's mantle, but instead various gifts are being given out. It is happening swiftly. (Photo via Wikimedia)

Earlier this year I had an encounter in which an angel handed me a tarnished key that belonged to a leader. He told me that it was the Key to Life and Death. It is similar to the Key of David mentioned in Revelation 3:7, "...What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open."

I used it for myself to get out of the prison of sickness I was in for several years and I am now healed. I have noticed that I have new prophetic authority when I minister. I often get "prophetic keys" of life that are for helping people.This is an example of what God is saying about the gifts being redistributed. Watch for something to be given to you.

Understanding Will Be Stretched

Get ready to be stretched as God is doing things that are outside of our comfort zone. We are being challenged right now to move into new levels of understanding. A new wave of revelation is being released that will help us progress into more effectiveness. It will require you to let go of some current doctrines and beliefs that are no longer relevant for today.

Isaiah 54:2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes."

This stretching will enlarge things in your life more than you ever dreamed possible!

What is in Your Basement?

God is calling some people to relinquish things that are no longer being used so that others can benefit from them. This is a time like never before that we need to pass along Kingdom resources. 

A few months ago, I had a dream that there were people who are called to start new things but did not have the resources to do so. In the dream there were individuals, churches and businesses that had stockpiles of things they were not using. I asked them to share but they were hoarding it out of fear that things might go bad later and they might need it.

God is calling people to freely give to others the things that you are no longer using. This might be in the form of money, equipment, investments, businesses, people or buildings. Getting a Kingdom perspective will give you a greater payoff. So don't hold back or hoard things right now (Romans 11:36).

Prophetic Music Activates

I had a dream last month that a prophet who was involved in a previous movement of God had an anointed musical instrument. He brought out a very stylish black fiddle and began to play. As he did this it released new prophetic insight and the ability to see in the spiritual realm at a deeper level. (Photo by Jennifer Page "Key to a New Sound" via elijahshopper.com)

In the dream he handed me a black fiddle as well. But the bow looked like a car windshield wiper. I was able to skillfully play the song I Saw the Light as he joined in. God spoke to me that there is a new anointing on music being released that will open people's eyes and increase their ability to gain deeper insight.

The Door to Your Promotions

The doorway to your promotion and advancement is through a time of deeper pruning. There are beliefs, doctrines and ways of operating that are no longer working or beneficial in this new season. God is pruning people right now. This means that He is pointing out and removing things that are not needed.

What will remain are only things that are of God's Kingdom for this particular time and season. Although this might include sin, it is primarily beliefs and doctrines. (Photo via Pixabay)

John 15:1-4 "I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in Me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me."

The result of this time of deeper cleansing will result in a closer relationship with God and you will have greater authority. John 15:7,"If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you."

God's desire for us is to have joy, love and unity. He is healing those who have been operating in the opposite of these qualities. John 15:11-12, "I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."

Friends and Family

God is calling us to go beyond a "servant mode" in which we only do what we are told. He is calling us to be friends and family. The Kingdom of God is like a family-owned business in which we all have ownership.(Photo via Wikipedia)

John 15:13-15 "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are My friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from My Father I have made known to you."

As we move closer to God's purposes we will gain a deeper understanding of the "Master's business."

God's Command to Us

Love is the key to all that we do. This is an overlooked commandment but God is calling us back to the simplicity of loving like Jesus did. This means to love people that are different than us. This is part of the stretching that is coming.

John 15:16-17 "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit – fruit that will last – and so that whatever you ask in My name the Father will give you. This is My command: Love each other."

You are being called and chosen to bear the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) to help others. Love is what will get us through this new season at hand. If you have been operating on fumes then it is time to refuel with love and joy.

It is going to be an amazing New Year!!
