主題:你準備好來聽神說話了嗎?

我在本週釋放了一個關於神將會在聖誕節和新年元旦之間對許多人說話的新的先知性的話語。

為了幫助你能聽到神所正在說的,我想要給你一些指點以幫助你能最大地領受你可能會收到的任何啟示,而以下的4個秘訣也並不是只限用於該時段之間。

1. 理解目的 


有一件耶穌常常透過比喻的教導是,在神的國度裏,我們必須有眼睛來看,有耳朵能聽。祂所講的是指來看到和聽到屬靈的東西,以致我們可以更深層地來知道祂的聲音。

求我們主耶穌基督的 神,榮耀的父,將那賜人智慧和啟示的靈賞給你們,使你們真知道他“(以弗所書1:17)

聽到神的唯一目的 – 以及我釋放出先知性話語的理由 – 就是你可以更知道神!

2.  挪除任何限制 

我們自己的神學可以阻擋我們聽見神,尤其是當我們相信神只用某種方式來說話時。 

如果神呼召你去做新事,有時候你所相信的會來阻擋。神要在我們尚未信靠祂以我們從未曾見過的方式來做事的這方面來幫助我們。 

當神呼召我們來做新事,我們常常必需要丟棄我們以往做事的方式。我們的舊思維和行事方式可能就是我們必需為了新事物來傾聽神的根本原因。神已經改變了我們生命的季節,那些在上個季節裏行得通的,現在可沒法如此行了。

耶和華如此說:你們不要記念從前的事,也不要思想古時的事。“(以賽亞書43:18)

3. 保持積極正面 

這陣子有很多在網路上流傳的預言,可能讓我們變得害怕起來或是相信神正在審判世界。 

但我們需要記住,以我們從神所聽到的及以鼓勵為關鍵原則的預言的這些恩賜為基礎。 

但作先知講道的,是對人說,要造就、安慰、勸勉人。“(林前14:3) 

這就是我們的目標。當我們聽到了天父的聲音,不論是給我們自己或是給他人的,我們的目標就是被造就,得著安慰,蒙受勸勉。 

4. 對於神所正在說的付諸行動

你們祈求,就給你們;尋找,就尋見;叩門,就給你們開門“(馬太福音7:7)

大多數人習慣來向神祈求,但同時我們也需要記住來“尋找和叩門”。

尋求和叩門是超越只是在等待神來為你開門的積極步驟。是的,等待確實有價值,但當你在等待更大事物的同時,你現在就可以預備自己。

以下是一些預備自己的步驟:
• 相信神要對你說話。
• 記下來你所聽到的。
• 對此禱告並請求神澄清或證實。
• 沒有數個清楚確認的啟示出現前,不要做出重大決定。

這些都是你可以採取來調整自己,準備好在新年跨入新季節的一些實際步驟。這確實是一個令人倍感興奮能夠生逢其時的時刻!

現在你採取什麼步驟,來為這個新季節將自己準備好?可以和我分享之。

祝福你,

Are You Ready for God to Speak?
December 10, 2015

I just released a new prophetic word this week that God is going to speak to many people between Christmas and New Year’s Day.

To help you hear what God is saying, I want to give you some pointers to help you maximize any revelation you might receive, even though the following 4 tips are not limited to that time period.

1. Understand the purpose
One thing Jesus often taught through the parables is that in the Kingdom of God we must have eyes that see and ears that hear. He was talking about seeing and hearing spiritual things so that we may come to know His voice in deeper ways.

“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better.” Ephesians 1:17 NIV

The sole purpose of hearing God—and the reason I release prophetic words—is so that you may know God better!

2. Remove any limits
Our own theology can stop us from hearing God, especially if we believe God only speaks in a certain way.

If God is calling you to something new, sometimes what you believe can get in the way. God wants to help us where we do not yet trust Him to do things we have never seen before.


When God calls us to do something new, we often have to forget the former ways that we did things. Our old ways of thinking or doing things can be the very reason we need to hear God for something new. God has changed the season in our lives and what worked in a previous season will not work now.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” Isaiah 43:18

3. Stay positive
There are a lot of prophecies floating around the Internet these days that can cause us to become fearful or believe that God is judging the world.

But we need to remember to base what we are hearing from God and the gift of prophecy on the key principle of encouragement.

“But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.” 1 Corinthians 14:3 NIV

This is what we are aiming for. When we hear the Father’s voice for ourselves or for others, the goal is to be strengthened, encouraged and comforted.

4. Activate what God is speaking

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7

Most people are used to asking God for things, but we need to remember to “seek and knock” as well.

Seeking and knocking are proactive steps that go beyond just waiting for God to open the door for you. Yes, there is value in waiting, but while you wait for the greater things, you can prepare yourself now.

Here are a few steps to prepare yourself:
• Believe that God wants to speak to you.
• Write down what you are hearing.
• Pray about it and ask God to clarify or confirm it.
• Don’t make major decisions without several clear confirmed pieces of revelation.

These are some practical steps you can take to align yourself and get ready to cross into a new season in the New Year. This really is an exciting time to be alive!

What steps are you taking right now to prepare yourself to get ready for this new season? Share it with me in the comments.
