我聽見主說:「要謹慎,別論斷我在新季節動工的方式。」

我知道這篇信息偏長,但我鼓勵你,花時間讀完這篇先知性內容,因為我非常肯定,這篇信息對於我們已踏入的新季節來說,有舉足輕重的分量。

去年一整年,主不斷告訴我,在這個新的季節,與神為友、與主保持親密,是非常重要的。貼近主的心,祈求祂賜我們能看見的眼、能聽見的耳和能分辨祂做事方式的心。

主告訴我,如果我們沒有活出與主親密的生命,沒有貼近主心意,沒有謙卑自己順從聖靈的教導,那許多人會在這個新的季節面臨被冒犯的挑戰,神動工的方式、神使用的僕人、神所做的工作等等,都會成為冒犯我們的因素。

過去幾個月裡,這份確信在我裡面越演愈烈,就在最近,我聽到主對基督肢體說的話:

「要謹慎,別論斷我在新季節動工的方式。」

主說這個的同時,也再次向我強調「口中言語」的相關信息。我強烈感受到:「不要因為某事不合祢的預期、不符祢所認為的規律,就急著下結論說它並非出於神。」

這是超乎預期的新季節!在這季節,神將做新事,因為祂要顯明祂的威嚴、榮耀和能力。我們如今所見的,不過是神在新季節將成之事的九牛一毛。神要以前所未見的方式,彰顯祂的大能、榮耀與尊容,這需要我們預備自己,有耳可聽就聽,有眼可看就看。

馬太福音13:10-16的真理在我裡面燃燒:

門徒進前來問耶穌:‘對眾人講話,為什麼用比喻呢?’耶穌回答他們說:‘因為天國的奧秘只讓你們知道,不讓他們知道。凡有的,還要給他,讓他有餘;凡沒有的,連他所有的也要奪去。我之所以用比喻對他們講,是因為他們看卻看不清,聽卻聽不見,也不明白。在他們身上,正應驗了以賽亞的預言:「你們聽了又聽,卻不明白,看了又看,卻看不清。因為這百姓的心麻木,耳朵發沉,眼睛閉著,免得眼睛看見,耳朵聽見,心裡明白,回轉過來,我會醫治他們。」但你們的眼睛是有福的,因為看得見;你們的耳朵也是有福的,因為聽得見。’」(聖經和合本2010)

聖靈將在全地成就前所未有的榮耀運動,主正邀請基督的肢體們在這場運動中與祂同工;但我們必須具備謙卑順服的心,與神為友,領受神的訓誨,才能在這場聖靈至為偉大的運動中持守忠心、與主同工。

當主說「要謹慎,別論斷我在新季節動工的方式」時,對神深深的敬畏在我裡面油然而生。

在這個新的季節,你要比以往更加「勒好自己的舌頭,管好口中的言語」。不要口出輕慢之言,尤其不要因為一件事與眾不同、超越你的眼界與經驗,就一口咬定這事不出於神。

如今,神在召集祂的百姓。無論你是哪個教派,無論你屬哪個分支,無論你聯合於哪個關係網裡,神如今的心意都是召集你來到與祂親密之地,放下觀點、成見、判斷與預期,呼求聖靈顯明神的真理、神做事的方式,呼求聖靈引導我們進入一切真理。我們要如此預備自己,以迎接將要來的。我們要與主同工,耕耘祂的工作。我們要順從聖靈的引導、做忠心的僕人,不要阻擋神的工作。

但真理的靈來的時候,他要引導你們進入一切真理。因為他不是憑著自己說的,而是把他所聽見的都說出來,並且要把將要來的事向你們傳達。」(約翰福音16:13 聖經和合本2010)

這是要空前行在真理中的時候,求神賜智慧與分辨

主正呼召祂的百姓,要在這個新的季節更深進入祂的真理。這是加速的季節,神的百姓迫切需要更深的進入真理,更深的明白真理。不要因忙碌或誘惑分了心,遠離了神的真理。讓聖靈教導你、訓誨你,因聖靈要教導你明白神的真理。神要透過祂的真理,讓你明白並確定祂在新季節所做的工作。即使神所做的不同尋常,超越你的舒適區或認知範圍,神也會透過祂的真理確保你知道祂的工作。

祂不會偏離祂的真理,也不會違背祂的真理,祂會透過真理給人確信。關鍵是,我們要存謙卑受教的心,親近主的真理,讓聖靈啓示我們當知道的,即使聖靈啓示的方式超越我們的認知。神將在地上成就榮耀的工作!

新的季節,隨著神的國度建立在地,會有瓦解、重置、動盪發生,如果我們眼不看、耳不聽,那就會被試探擾亂:「看仇敵在做什麼!」,而實際上這是神手中的工作,是祂在將那根基不正或不純的事情瓦解、重置。遺留舊時節特質的事情,神都會親手拆解、重整,如今是新結構、新皮袋的時節。

我的心為馬太福音15:5-12的真理火熱。耶穌的話:

‘你們倒說:「無論誰對父母說:我所當供奉你的已經作了奉獻,就可以不孝敬他的父親。」這就是你們藉著傳統,廢了 神的話。假冒為善的人哪!以賽亞指著你們所預言的說得好:「這百姓用嘴唇尊敬我,他們的心卻遠離我。他們把人的規條當作教義教導人;他們拜我也是枉然。」’耶穌叫了眾人來,對他們說:‘你們要聽,也要明白。從口裡進去的不玷污人,從口裡出來的才玷污人。’當時,門徒進前來對他說:‘法利賽人聽見這話很反感,你知道嗎?’」(聖經和合本2010)

這是神要告誡我們的內容,非常重要,我們務必要存在心上。在這新季節,我們要在內室裡親近主、與主為友,認識祂甚過一切,我們不要成為用話語抵擋神在地之工作的人。我們不要阻擋神的工作,而是要與主同工,去完成聖靈在地至為偉大的運動。神在新的季節,要動工顯露宗教的靈。

如今,基督的肢體中正被分別,神要動工分別祂的百姓,神要將親近並認識祂的人分別出來,神要將用眼看、用耳聽、生命紮根在真理中的人分別出來,神要將瞭解祂心意的人分別出來,餘下的就是與之相悖的人。這其中的差別,要在新的季節越來越明顯。神的心意是願人人都親近祂並與祂同工,但謙卑自己是我們個人的責任。當我們親近主、謙卑自己,聖靈會透過神的話語和聖經的真理破碎我們心中的欺騙、驕傲與冒犯。

各個教派會前所未有的凝聚起來,不要論斷、不要阻礙

神向我顯明,在這新的季節,各個教派的人會如溪流匯聚成河一般,前所未有的凝聚起來。事情會以我們不曾見過的方式成就。隨著神大能的運動在全地推行,基督肢體中會產生重大的合一。

在我觀看合一發生的時候,我聽見靈裡有各樣細碎的爭吵聲。信徒們在批判、爭論、竊竊私語:「我們才不和他們同工呢」「我們不會與他們聯合的。」

是時候放下攻擊的姿態,去解決我們心中因宗教派別不同而產生的、一切阻礙弟兄姊妹合一的事情。各個教派將空前的凝聚起來,合而為一,只為主耶穌基督的名。

在這個新的季節,各教派要合一,一齊與主同工。不要因神如此做工,而心懷不平。不要因不滿而錯過聖靈的浪潮,錯過宗派合一的浪潮。是時候放下固執,為曾經的驕傲、冒犯與爭論悔改。是時候邀請聖靈醫治我們的心,啓示我們基督的愛,敞開心扉去擁抱我們在基督裡的弟兄姊妹,不要再以言語為刀劍去攻擊彼此了。是時候活在愛裡,彼此相愛,彼此尊容,為友人捨命(約翰福音15:13 「人為朋友捨命,人的愛心沒有比這個更大的了」),看別人比自己強(腓立比書2:3 「凡是不可自私自利,不可貪圖虛榮;只要心存謙卑,個人看別人比自己強」)。

約翰福音15章的真理,會在這個新的季節大大顯明。神的手要震動教會,將阻礙眾肢體活出約翰福音15章真理的事情,全都顯明浮現出來。

神要潔淨教會。神要潔淨基督的肢體。神要預備一個聖潔沒有瑕疵的新娘(以弗所書5:27),在這新的季節,神的火已經開始做潔淨、顯明、煉造、淨化的工作,為的是預備我們活出聖潔與榮耀——這是我們在基督裡受召本該活出的樣式。主要在這個季節,越來越多的伸手翻轉局面,讓基督的肢體能活出聖潔。

讓我們成為在內室中與主相會、認識祂、注目他、被祂教導、明白祂做工方式的人。

讓我們不要成為論斷主在新季節所作工作的人,即使主的工作與我們的預期截然不同。讓我們向主呼求說:

「主啊,預備我!教導我!賜我眼可看、賜我耳可聽,讓我能分辨祢所做的,並與祢同工,即使祢手中的工作超乎我的認知。」


I HEARD THE LORD SAY "BE CAREFUL NOT TO CRITICISE THE WAYS I AM MOVING IN THIS NEW ERA"
Lana Vawser
19,Nov. 2019

I know this is a long word, but I encourage you to take the time to read through this prophetic word, because I believe this is a VERY important word for the new era we have entered.

Over the last year the Lord has been speaking to me a lot about how important it will be and is in this new era to be a friend of God and living in deep intimacy with Him. To be positioned close to His heart asking Him to develop in us eyes that see, ears that hear and a heart that discerns His ways.

He showed me that if we aren't living in that place of deep intimacy, close to His heart, postured in humility to allow the Spirit of God to school us in His ways, that many would be offended in this new era at the way that God moves, who He uses and what it looks like.

This conviction has continued to grow stronger and stronger within me over the past few months and recently I heard the Lord speak over the body of Christ:

"Be careful not to criticise the ways I am moving in this new era"

When the Lord spoke this, instantly the Lord highlighted the MOUTH to me again. There was such a strong sense that surrounded me "Do not be quick to judge something as NOT God because it doesn't fit the box or paradigm that you think it should."

This is the ERA OF THE UNEXPECTED! This is the era where God is going to do things SO out of the box, because He is wanting to reveal His majesty, His Glory, His power. We have only just begun to see a “drop in the ocean” of what God is going to do in this new era. God is going to demonstrate His power, His Glory, His splendour in ways that we have never seen before, but it REQUIRES having eyes to see and ears to hear.

Matthew 13:10-16 has been burning in me:

Then his disciples approached Jesus and asked, “Why do you always speak to people in these hard-to-understand parables?”

He explained, “You’ve been given the intimate experience of insight into the hidden truths and mysteries of the realm of heaven’s kingdom, but they have not. For everyone who listens with an open heart will receive progressively more revelation until he has more than enough. But those who don’t listen with an open, teachable heart, even the understanding that they think they have will be taken from them.That’s why I teach the people using parables, because they think they’re looking for truth, yet because their hearts are unteachable, they never discover it. Although they will listen to me, they never fully perceive the message I speak. The prophecy of Isaiah describes them perfectly:

Although they listen carefully to everything I speak, they don’t understand a thing I say. They look and pretend to see,
but the eyes of their hearts are closed. Their minds are dull and slow to perceive, their ears are plugged and are hard of hearing, and they have deliberately shut their eyes to the truth.
Otherwise they would open their eyes to see, and open their ears to hear, and open their minds to understand. Then they would turn to me and let me instantly heal them.
“But your eyes are privileged, for they see. Delighted are your ears, for they are open to hear all these things.
(The Passion Translation)

The Lord is inviting the body of Christ into a place of partnering with Him in the greatest move of the Spirit of God that we have ever seen in the earth, but stewarding that move and partnering with Him requires hearts that are yielded in humility and those who are friends with God and are schooled in the ways of God.

I felt the fear of God so strongly as the Lord spoke those words to me “Be careful not to criticise the new things that I am doing in this new era”

There is such a strong feeling in the atmosphere to “Watch your mouth” in this new era like never before. Do not throw around careless words especially being quick to deem something as ‘not God’ because it looks different to what you have experienced or seen before.

There is a SUMMONING of the Lord upon the people of God now. No matter what denomination, no matter what stream you flow in, what network you align with, there is a SUMMONING from the heart of God right now into the place of intimacy, laying down opinions, preconceived ideas, judgements and expectations to ASK the Holy Spirit to reveal His truth, to reveal His ways and to lead us into ALL truth. This is the place of preparation for what is to come. This is the place of positioning to partner with God in what He is about to do. This is the place of stewarding this new move of His Spirit and not ‘standing in the way’ of what God is doing.

"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.” (John 16:13 – New American Standard Bible)

THIS IS THE TIME TO BE IN THE WORD LIKE NEVER BEFORE AND ASKING FOR WISDOM AND DISCERNMENT

The Lord is calling His people deeper into the Word of God in this new era. In this new era of acceleration it is IMPERATIVE that the people of God are deeper in the Word of God and knowing the Word of God more than ever. Do not allow busyness or distraction to keep you out of the Word of God. Be schooled in the ways of God in the Word as the Spirit of God illuminates truth to you. For the Lord is going to show you and confirm to you THROUGH the Word of God what He is doing in this new era. Even when it looks different, outside your comfort zone, paradigm or box, the Lord is going to confirm that it’s Him through His Word.

He will NOT step outside of His Word, He will not contradict His Word, He will CONFIRM through His Word. The KEY is to approach the Word of God with a teachable heart of humility to allow the Holy Spirit to show you what He needs to show you, even if the way He moves offends your mindsets. What He is going to do in the earth is going to be GLORIOUS! In the ESTABLISHING of His Kingdom upon the earth in this new era, some things will be DISMANTLED, some things will be REARRANGED, some things will be SHAKEN and without eyes to see and ears to hear the temptation will be to shout “LOOK WHAT THE ENEMY IS DOING” but actually it is the HAND OF GOD dismantling and rearranging things that have been built not on foundations that are right or pure. It will be the hand of God that will dismantle and rearrange things that were part of the old season and it’s time for new structures, a new wineskin.

Matthew 15:5-12 has been burning on my heart. The words of Jesus:

“But you teach that it’s permissible to say to your parents when they are in financial need, ‘Whatever gift you would have received from me I can keep for myself, since I dedicated it as an offering to God.’ This doesn’t honor your father or mother. And you have elevated your tradition above the words of God. Frauds and hypocrites! Isaiah described you perfectly when he said:
These people honor me only with their words,
for their hearts are so very distant from me.
They pretend to worship me, but their worship is nothing more
than the empty traditions of men.”
Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said, “Come, listen and open your heart to understand. What truly contaminates a person is not what he puts into his mouth but what comes out of his mouth. That’s what makes people defiled.”
Then his disciples approached him and said, “Don’t you know that what you just said offended the Pharisees?”

This is a very important warning from the Lord that all of us must take on board. We MUST be in the secret place as friends of God KNOWING HIM above ALL ELSE in this new era and not be found to be ones throwing stones with our words at what GOD is actually doing in the earth. Let us not be found standing in the WAY of what God is doing, rather than partnering WITH HIM in the greatest move of the Spirit of God in the earth. The move of God in this new era is going to expose the religious spirit unlike anything we have ever seen before.

There is a separation that is taking place in the body of Christ right now by the move of God that’s beginning and it is separation that is displaying those that KNOW HIM intimately and have eyes to see and ears to hear and live grounded and founded in the Word of God and know His heart, and those who don’t. This is going to become more and more apparent as we venture into this new era. The heart of God is that ALL would draw close and partner with Him, but it is our responsibility to be positioned in humility. In the place of humility the Spirit of God through His Word and His truth will break deception, pride and offense in this new era in the hearts of many AS there is a drawing close to Him and humility that takes place.

THERE’S GOING TO BE A MAJOR TIDAL WAVE OF STREAMS COMING TOGETHER LIKE NEVER BEFORE, DO NOT CRITICISE IT OR STAND IN THE WAY

The Lord showed me streams of all denominations coming together like never before in this new era. It is going to take place in ways we have never seen. There is going to be MAJOR demonstrations of unity that is going to take place in this mighty move of God that will take place in the earth.

As I watched this take place I heard the sound of “murmuring” and “bickering” in the Spirit. I heard the sound of believers criticising, speaking against and whispering “We don’t partner with THEM”, “We do not align with THEM”.

This is the time to lay down “offenses”, to deal with anything in the heart that would hinder us from partnering with our brothers and sisters in Christ because of denomination differences or offenses. The streams are going to merge like never before and it is going to be under ONE thing, it will be under the NAME of Jesus Christ.

In this new era the STREAMS will COME TOGETHER to BUILD TOGETHER with God is building. Do not be offended at how God does this. Do not allow offense to keep you from flowing in the tidal wave of His Spirit bringing the streams together. It’s time to let go and repent of pride, offense and bickering. It’s time to ask the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the heart and greater revelation of the love of Jesus to embrace our brothers and sisters in Christ and stop throwing knives and stones at each other with our words. It’s time to be people who walk in LOVE. Loving one another, honouring one another and laying down our lives for our friends (John 15:13) and considering others better than ourselves. (Philippians 2:3)

This new era will see a GREATER manifestation of John 15. The shaking in the Church, by the hand of God will bring to the surface more and more things that have stood in the way of the body of Christ walking in John 15.

God is bringing purity to the Church. God is purifying the body of Christ. The Lord is returning for a pure and spotless bride (Ephesians 5:27) and this new era the fire of God is already beginning to purify, expose, refine and purge to PREPARE us to walk in the purity and holiness that we are called to walk in, in Christ. There will be some “upturning of the tables” by the hand of God more and more in this new era to usher in purity in the body of Christ.

Let us be people who are living in deep in the secret place, knowing Him, seeing Him and being taught by Him and learning His ways.

Let us be found not criticising what God is doing in this new era if it looks completely different to what we expect. Let us be people that cry out “God make me ready! Teach me! Give me eyes that see and ears that hear to DISCERN what You are doing and partner with you even if it offends my mind.”
