生命的道路36

復興即將到來
我們正進入地上有史以來最有趣與令人興奮的時刻,能被揀選活在這些時候,是神所能給予我們最大的尊榮。我們已經在神在地上最大運行的第一階段,我不會假設將要揭開的領導階層或位置,但多年前神給我一個火把,我寫在『火把與寶劍』一書中,那火把現在正被使用來點燃不會熄滅的火。   

剛開始火可能會很小,你必須在正確地方,注視正確方向才能看見火,但它已經開始燃燒。我們可以在未來幾年預期復興會在世界許多地方展開,神蹟奇事將出現在世界各地的新聞上,列國會在一天之間得救。這就是先知和古時義人渴望看見的時候,而我們將在這裡經歷這些事。

正如聖經也清楚說到這些時候,那也是極大黑暗遮蓋的時候。即便如此,這只會使光看起來更明顯。主的使者帶著鐮刀,將來到地上收割莊稼。這是將攔阻我們進入在祂身體中位置的一切障礙與分散注意之事放在一邊的時候,這正是希伯來書十二章22-29節所告訴我們的時候:

你們乃是來到錫安山,永生神的城邑,就是天上的耶路撒冷。那裡有千萬的天使, 
有名錄在天上諸長子之會所共聚的總會,有審判眾人的神和被成全之義人的靈魂, 
並新約的中保耶穌,以及所灑的血;這血所說的比亞伯的血所說的更美。 
你們總要謹慎,不可棄絕那向你們說話的。因為,那些棄絕在地上警戒他們的尚且不能逃罪,何況我們違背那從天上警戒我們的呢? 
當時他的聲音震動了地,但如今他應許說:再一次我不單要震動地,還要震動天。 
這再一次的話,是指明被震動的,就是受造之物都要挪去,使那不被震動的常存。 
所以我們既得了不能震動的國,就當感恩,照神所喜悅的,用虔誠、敬畏的心事奉神。 
因為我們的神乃是烈火。

Revival Is Coming - The Path of Life, Part 36
Week 43, 2012 
Rick Joyner 

We are entering the times that will be the most interesting and exciting that have ever been on the earth. To be chosen to live in these times is one of the greatest honors we could be given by God. We are already in the first stages of the greatest move of God ever on earth. I would not presume any kind of leadership, or even a position in what is about to unfold, but years ago I was given a torch that I wrote about in my book, The Torch and the Sword, and that torch has now been used to start a fire that will not go out.         

The fire that has been started may yet be small, and you have to be in the right place, looking in the right direction to see it, but it has begun to burn. Over the coming years, we can expect revivals to break out in various places around the world. Miracles are going to be wrought that will make news around the world, and nations will be saved in a day. These are the times that the prophets and righteous of old desired to see, and we are here to experience them.

Just as the Scriptures also make clear about these times, it will be a time of great darkness as well. Even so, this will make the light that much more apparent. The angel of the Lord, who carries the sickle, is about to lower it to the earth so that it will be reaped. It is the time to lay aside every encumbrance and every distraction to get in our places in His body and be ready to do our part. This is the time we are told about in Hebrews 12:22-29:

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, 
to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, 
and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. 
See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, 
much less shall we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. 
And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, " Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven. " 
And this expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, in order that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 
Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; 
for our God is a consuming fire.
