你可能一直經歷烈火的試探與熬煉、被困惑的旋風所纏累，然而神使用這一切預備你，讓你進入生命中最美的委任與節期，這最美的此時已臨到你

神多次和我談論，許多人在如今這個季節經歷著烈火的試探與熬煉。火的熬煉是出於神，祂要煉淨你、清潔你；火的試探是出於仇敵，仇敵希望你遠離神的工作和啓示。許多人正被困惑的旋風纏累，這是同樣仇敵的工作，要動搖你們的根基和異象，讓你們對前方的路產生懷疑。加速的風正掘地而起，要吹去困惑、吹熄試探的火，讓你們能專心尋求主，在忽然之間進入委身於主的新季節。
如今在靈裡發生的並非小事。如今靈裡正經歷重大而深遠的轉變。這是更新生命的轉變，轉變時期的阻力與動盪也是劇烈的，因此你的靈裡會時不時感受到不安。
我感受到，主的心切切掛念此時正經歷轉變的肢體。主知道你在經歷烈火與困惑的旋風，但實際上你快勝過了。此時，你正前進。即便你的肉眼還未看見試探與熬煉落幕，而實際上你在靈裡正行過這些，你正進入神在創世之初就為你預備的產業。這是你命定的產業。
在這新的季節，你會比以往任何時候都清楚、明瞭神為你的命定。你將清醒看清事實：神呼召你要先認識祂、明白祂的心意、成為祂的朋友，繼而在全地傳揚、高舉祂的名。
你們中間有許多人深感困惑：為什麼爭戰越發激烈，為什麼波動大過從前，為什麼這場轉變如此不同、讓人痛苦難耐？你們可能會被試探，懷疑自己是不是做錯了什麼。我要鼓勵你，這是因為新的季節如此重要、因為新季節神對你生命的計劃非比尋常，所以攔阻的攻勢才會猛烈，煉淨、清潔的工作才要徹底，都是為了預備你進入神為你計劃的新事。
你要與主並肩進入個人生命中最美的季節，主在這個季節對你的委任是全新又美好的，超乎你所想。如今你與主同行，要比從前更能體會祂的心意、認識祂做事的方式、明白祂話語的奧秘，你要進入未曾認知的全新領域，被主的恩膏膏抹，神的大能要顯明在你裡面，並透過你空前彰顯。
仇敵火的攻勢似乎要吞滅了你，神熬煉、清潔的火也比從前更劇烈，然而，主預備你受得住、並得勝仇敵的攻擊，被神熬煉成精金，如此這般，你才可以承受神加給你的超越從前的恩典。神是為愛的緣故，清潔、煉淨你的生命，為的是讓你承載祂要釋放給你的一切，讓你清潔、無偽、成熟。即使沒人關注你、沒人相信這是神在預備你，你都要持續擁抱神煉淨的火，你的生命如今在經歷更大的提升，你將看見這提升是多麼令人驚嘆。
我看見一個異象，仇敵在信徒的耳邊悄悄灌輸著恐懼的信息，讓眾人對新的季節、對轉變都產生懼怕，從而使新的產業與委任都籠罩濃霧，以抵擋真理。要知道，神差遣你，必然讓你在耶穌基督裡得享大喜樂，讓你與聖靈能更好的同工，建造神的工作，這都將是你未曾體驗的。
困惑的旋風與智慧的翅膀
困惑的旋風呼嘯著，分散信徒們的注意力、隱藏眾人的異象，但主向我顯明，當我們緊緊倚靠祂、緊握住祂的手、持守神的話語，屬天的智慧就會在此刻大大的臨到。
向主求智慧（雅各書1:5 「你們中間若有缺少智慧的，應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的 神，主就必賜給他」），因為神正將智慧上尖下流的傾倒下來。神給你的智慧，可能與你的部分預期有所差異，但要相信祂，因為祂正帶你見證祂的大能、恩寵、供應與創造力，這些要多到無處可容，徹底並加速地改變眾人的生命、改變城市和國家。
朋友們，這要大過你。這要大過你的夢想。這要大過你個人的計劃。神在新季節所做的，超乎你的所求所想（哥林多前書2:9），當你順服主和主做事的方式，聖靈在新季節要透過你發揮超乎你所想的重大影響力。神如何使用你擴張祂的國度、承載屬天的智慧，是你無法想像的，因為祂做事的方式是無與倫比的。
「如經上所記：‘神為愛祂的人所預備的，是眼睛未曾看見，耳朵未曾聽見，人心也未曾想到的。’」（哥林多前書2:9 聖經和合本2010）
神的智慧會吸引國家與權貴來親近你，從你那裡聆聽神的心意。跟隨主，無論祂去哪裡，無論代價如何。跟隨主，不論祂去哪裡。
在這全新的季節，你要更加降服於主，將自己的生命全然獻給主，當你再次全然奉獻自己時，你會在基督耶穌裡尋得豐盛的生命，是你不曾體會的那般豐盛（約翰福音10:10）。祂來是要叫人得生命，並且得的更豐盛，你一次一次捨掉自己的生命，也會一次一次在基督裡尋得豐盛無比的生命。
「盜賊來，無非要偷竊，殺害，毀壞；我來了，是要羊得生命，並且得的更豐盛。」（約翰福音10:10 聖經和合本2010）
降服於主，主在預備你承接祂在新季節對你的旨意與恩典。
聆聽的季節
主一直跟我強調，接下來的十年，是關乎話語的十年。這週，主說：「聆聽的季節（The era of the ear）。」
神的話給我很大的衝擊。在這新的季節，我們要將耳朵貼於主的胸膛，聆聽祂的旨意。這是要前所未有的、帶著確信、清楚聆聽神旨意的季節。這是要對神的聲音敏銳的季節，仇敵以困惑極力攻擊眾人的另一個原因，也在於此，因為在這個新季節，清楚分辨、聆聽主的聲音，會變得更加普遍。（約翰福音10:27 「我的羊聽我的聲音，我認識他們，他們也跟從我」）
當神的百姓將耳朵貼於祂的胸膛，我們會聽見從未聽過的神的心意、戰略、做事的方式和智慧；當我們遵行所聽見的，神的一些不可思議的大能明證、神蹟、奇事和異能，都要讓我們見證。
這個季節，要聆聽神的聲音甚過其他一切聲音。這個季節，要認識神的聲音、跟隨神的聲音，而非人的智慧。
神的聲音會領導你、帶領你、保守你、堅固你、鼓勵你、給你確信、安慰你、使你清醒。馬太福音4:4的真理，要在這個新的季節以超自然的方式在你生命中爆發。
「耶穌卻回答說：‘經上記著：人活著，不是單靠食物，乃是靠神口裡所出的一切話。’」（聖經和合本2010）
高舉耶穌的名，而非你的名
神賜下全新的委任，以無比的恩寵與提升加添信徒的生命，讓眾人的生命更具影響力，只為一個原因：讓耶穌的名在全地得榮耀，讓神的國在全地擴張。認識耶和華榮耀的知識，要充滿遍地，好像水充滿洋海一般（哈巴谷書2:14），我們從未見過如此陣勢，眾人都要認識祂！
在這新的季節，為了預備我們進入全新的委任，神要使祂的百姓加速，祂要塑造、改變、重整我們。我聽見祂輕聲說：「要高舉我的名。」我感受到祂的心意：要讓主的名被高舉，而不是我們自己的名。神呼召我們要親近祂、貼心祂的心意，這樣就不會給自我推崇、偷盜、濫用恩賜留地步，我們要單單以清潔的心見祂的面，要先服事祂、按祂的心意侍奉，繼而再考慮其他。
祂再次低語：
「要親近我，以此來保守你的心不陷入自我推崇。」
在這新季節，讓你的生命多多在內室與主親近、與主建立友誼，不要一門心思為自己搭建平臺、讓自己出名，而是要在全地高舉耶穌基督的名。在內室中與主親近，你生命中可能會滋生自我推崇的傷口與不安，都會在主的愛裡、在主所啓示的命定中，一一得醫治。在這新季節，天父的愛會溫柔的擁抱祂的兒女。要在新的季節持守在神所賜的增長、加速、提升和全新的委任中，關鍵是要將個人的生命謙卑降服在主面前，你的心要單單渴想與主成為朋友、認識祂，要先求祂的國和祂的義（馬太福音6:33），其他的神自然會加給你。
「你們要先求神的國和他的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。」（馬太福音6:33 聖經和合本2010）
YOU MAY HAVE BEEN IN INTENSE FIRE AND WINDS OF CONFUSION BUT GOD HAS USED IT All TO PREPARE YOU FOR THE GREATEST ASSIGNMENTS AND SEASON OF YOUR LIFE, THAT ARE UPON YOU NOW!
Lana Vawser
22，Nov. 2019
The Lord has been speaking to me a lot about the intensity of the fire many have been in, in this season. There has been an intensity of the fire of His presence bringing forth a purging and a purifying but there has also been a fire of the enemy attempting to hinder what God is doing and releasing. There has been intense winds of confusion surrounding many but again that is because the enemy is attempting to cause the people of God to “lose their footing and vision” for what is ahead. The winds of acceleration are picking up strongly and about to move those with hearts seeking Him SUDDENLY into a new season of assignment for the Lord.
What is taking place right now in the spirit is no small thing. What is taking place right now is major and monumental shift. It is life-changing shift that is why it can feel so unsettling in the spirit at times because of the level of resistance and the turbulence of transition.
I felt the Lord’s heart so strongly for many walking this path right now. The Lord knows the intensity of the fire and the winds of confusion that have come against you but you are actually crossing over NOW. You are actually moving NOW. Even before you see it in the natural, the crossing over is taking place in the Spirit and you are moving into the territory that has been marked out for you before the beginning of time. It’s a land that is marked with “DESTINY”.
In this new era you are going to see and understand the destiny of God for your life like never before. You are going to be awakened so deeply to the reality and revelation that you are first called to know Him and His heart, to be His friend and then to make Him known and Him famous on the earth.
Many of you have been wondering why the battle has been so intense, why the turbulence has been worse than ever, why this transition feels different and more painful and there can be the temptation to think you have done something wrong. I want to encourage you that because of the MAGNITUDE of this new era and the MAGNITUDE of God’s plans for your life, there has been a very intense battle and purifying and purging in the transition into these new things God has for you.
You are entering into the greatest season of your life with the Lord and the new assignments that He has for you in this new era are greater than you have imagined. You are moving into a season with the Lord right now where you are going to experience His heart, know His ways and understand His Word like never before that will see you step out into areas that haven’t ever been on your radar but you will find an anointing and the power of God demonstrated in and through your life like never before.
The fire of the enemy may have felt like it would kill you, the fire of purging and purifying of the Lord bringing refinement may have felt more intense than ever, but the Lord has prepared you through it all to CARRY what He is releasing upon you in greater ways than you have ever experienced. Out of the love of the Lord His fire has brought DEEP purging and refinement in your life so that you can carry what He is releasing, with purity, integrity and maturity. As you have continued to embrace the fire, even when no one is looking and remained faithful to Him, there is greater promotion upon your life right now and you are about to see it and it is going to be nothing but SPECTACULAR.
I had a vision and I saw the enemy whispering “words of dread” into the ears of believers about this new era and transition, attempting to project “his forecast” upon the new land/s and assignment/s but the opposite is true. What lies ahead in the assignments that the Lord has for you is MORE JOY with Jesus and partnering with the Spirit of God in what He is doing, than you have ever experienced.
WINDS OF CONFUSION TO WINGS OF WISDOM
The intensity of the winds of confusion to distract and hinder vision have been fierce but the Lord showed me in the pressing into Him and holding His hand and onto His Word there is a MAJOR download of His wisdom taking place RIGHT NOW.
Ask for wisdom (James 1:5) because the Lord is pouring it out in exponential measures. Some of the wisdom the Lord releases will be opposite to what you expect, but trust Him, because He is leading you into a place of demonstration of His power, favour, provision and creativity that is off the charts and will bring rapid and radical change to people’s lives, cities and nations. Friends, this is bigger than you. It’s bigger than your dreams. It’s bigger than your plans. What God is doing in this new era is bigger than you imagine (1 Corinthians 2:9) the impact that the Spirit of God is going to have THROUGH your life as you yield to Him and His ways in this new era is BIGGER than you could imagine. The way God is going to position you to extend His Kingdom and carrying heavenly wisdom will be unprecedented.
The wisdom of God is going to draw the nations and those of influence to you in this new era to receive what you are carrying from the heart of God. Follow Him where He’s going, no matter the cost. Follow where He’s going.
In this new era, there will be a greater call to “lay down your life” and “give it all” but in the giving it all again, you will find life in Jesus like you’ve never experienced. (John 10:10) He came to give abundant life and in losing your life over and over and over again, you will find greater and greater measures and revelation of the abundant life that is yours in Christ.
You are prepared for what God has put before you in this new era as you have yielded to Him.
THE ERA OF THE EAR
The Lord has been speaking to me so much about this next decade being a decade of the mouth. This week the Lord spoke the words “THE ERA OF THE EAR”
Those words hit me so strongly. In this new era it is IMPERATIVE that we have our ear upon His chest and listening to what He is saying. This is the era to HEAR from God with clarity and confidence like never before. This is the ERA to KNOW THE VOICE OF GOD in greater ways, this is another reason why the enemy is coming hard against believers with confusion, because of the CLARITY of recognising and knowing the voice of God that is going to increase in this new era. (John 10:27)
As the ears of God’s people are upon His chest, we will hear His heart, His strategies, His ways and wisdom like we haven’t ever heard before and as we act upon what we hear Him saying we will see some of the greatest demonstrations of His power and signs, wonders and miracles beyond our comprehension.
This is the ERA to listen to the voice of God over ANY other voices. This is the era of KNOWING His voice and following the voice of God and not the voice of man’s wisdom.
His voice will lead you, guide you, protect you, strengthen you, encourage you, convict you, comfort you and awaken you. The reality of Matthew 4:4 is going to explode in your life in this new era in supernatural ways.
MAKE HIS NAME FAMOUS, NOT YOUR OWN
In these new assignments the Lord is releasing there will be such significant favour and increase that will be released that influence will extend majorly in the lives of believers for one reason, to see the name of Jesus glorified and the Kingdom of God extended across the earth. To see the knowledge of His goodness and Glory fill the earth (Habakkuk 2:14) unlike we have ever seen and MANY come to know Him.
In this major acceleration, shaping, changing and rearranging God will do in positioning His people into new assignments in this new era, I heard His whisper “Make My name famous” and there was a loving warning I felt from His heart to make His name famous in the earth and not our own. It was a call to intimacy and growing closer to His heart so there is no room for self-promotion or manipulation or misuse of gifting to “promote” but the place of purity before Him, first ministering to HIM and His heart and then ministering to others.
He whispered again:
“In the place of deep intimacy with Me will be the protection of the heart against self-promotion”
Spend your life in this new era not to “increase a platform” or “make your name known” but spend your life sowing into your secret place, your friendship with Him to make HIS name famous on the earth. In the secret place any woundings or insecurities that self-promotion flows from will be healed in the revelation of His love and revelation of identity. The Father’s love will embrace His people so beautifully in this new era. A key to stewardship of the increase, acceleration, promotion and new assignments in this new era is the place of humility and yielding before Him in the position of heart of wanting nothing more than to be His friend and know Him, to seek first His Kingdom (Matthew 6:33) and from that place, all else flows.
