主題：是否有一個新的重大復興和神的行動將在2016年臨到？

為什麼我相信在2016年將有一個新的重大復興和神的行動臨到。
多年前神對我提到在北美大約是每11年就會有神主要的行動發生：
1994年 – 多倫多祝福（Toronto Blessing）
1983年 – 聖靈第三波 （Third Wave Charismatic Movement）
1973年 – 耶穌子民運動 （The Jesus People Movement）
當你從1994年開始倒數計算，每11年往回推，也落在1950年的醫治運動（the Healing Movement），甚至可以回溯到1906年發生的阿蘇薩街復興（Azusa Street Revival）。
神對我說過2005年會有重大的行動，但它從來沒有發生過。在2005年那時，不是復興臨到，我們反而進入了為期11年的曠野時期。
隨後在2009年的9月，我經歷了一個遇見而得著了解釋。 （請參閱我以前的部落格貼文）
現在我們正接近2016年，是2005年後的11年。這是我們準備好迎接一些重大事情臨到的時刻了。希望你能像我一樣抓住這個預言的重要含義。讓我們一起來做好準備！
以下是我在2009年時所寫的部落格貼文（之前刊登在 Elijah List上），其中描述了大約6年前我所經歷的遇見：
神最後的行動是曠野！
在2009年9月8日，我得著一個夜間異象，在當中我得以看到
世界各地的鳥瞰圖。我望見具有豐富新生命的蒼綠又繁茂的遼闊景致。我能看到富有異國情調的花草樹木，在我的靈裏我知道自己所看到的，是從神而來臨到地上，以帶來一個激進的復興的新行動。 （圖片源自Pixabay）
突然，一個巨大毀滅的浪潮臨到這綠地。整個場景都被破壞殆盡，所存留的只有貧瘠的荒地。我震驚地觀看，並為我所目睹的感到失望和痛心。
接著，神的可聽得見的聲音在異象中對我說話，祂說：“我從天上釋放了些新的東西，但我的子民們並沒有準備好，所以我不得不帶入一段曠野的時期以清除掉那些不是屬於我的東西“。
當我從中醒過來，神的一個非常強大的同在正彰顯在我的臥室中。聖靈對我說道，神原本計劃要在2005年開始新的東西，這會帶來一個新層次的恩膏。這新的層次是為了要喚醒一個新的復興。但是因為我們並沒有準備好，祂變更了計劃使之成為一個曠野的時期。從2005年到2009年，許多人掙扎著經歷一段潔凈，試煉和重新對齊的重要時期。從神而來的曠野經歷是必需的，是為了煉凈並準備我們。
何西阿書2：14-15，“後來我必勸導她，領她到曠野，對她說安慰的話。對她說安慰的話。她從那裡出來，我必賜她葡萄園，又賜她亞割谷作為指望的門…“
神在2005年釋放了許多應許給教會。一些應許被推延了而現在正被釋放出來。我們的事工當時座落於洛杉磯。我們那時正在結集人力資源以在靠近好萊塢的地方開展培訓和推廣中心。我們已獲得相當大的經費資助以支持這項事工，然而在2005年，就好像每一扇大門都向我們緊閉。
我們最終歸還了資助的經費，搬到北卡羅萊納州的Moravian Falls。從字面上而言我們是被置放在曠野中（實際上我們就住在北卡羅萊納州的樹林裡），我們經歷了為期三年一段非常艱困的時期，在這當中有著非常有限的影響力也極少受人青睞。隨後在2009年，我們突然被差送回到西海岸開始培訓中心 - 這一次是在加州的Santa Maria。
我們目前正處在重新對齊和重新開始的時刻。許多預言的話語和應許曾經脫軌或遭受延遲，有些失效作廢是因著靈裏的突然轉換。如果你在過去數年曾經歷艱難和不明確的時期，這很可能就是原因。假如神允許新的運動在2005年我們那時的光景臨到，它可能會毀掉我們。我們在過去幾年中看到了些例子，許多領袖跌倒遠離自己的呼召或者陷於罪的纏累。
覺醒的時刻
整個九月份，我一直從收音機聽到一首歌裏的一段歌詞，“當九月結束時叫醒我”。這非常像是現在從神而來的呼召 – 祂將會在十月份時喚醒許多祂的子民。
這是來邁力親近神並從祂那裏尋求更深的清晰度的時刻。在這個月份，我們都將要看到一些得著回應的禱告。你需要來注意觀看。那些輕忽的人們可能會錯過神的造訪的這個新時刻。神正在造訪我們的情況，我們的家庭，工作，人際關係，以及事工，而吹響的號聲正爆發出去呼喚大家覺醒起來！
我們在未來幾個月將會看到一些奇怪的事件和巨量的突然改變和翻轉。如果我們集中注意力保持在神的身上，我們將不會被動搖。
檢查自己 – 思想回顧一下在2005年是否有什麼異常事件發生。那時你是否要朝往一個方向，而事情轉換並且似乎乾涸殆盡？
當我用這個問題來詢問人們，我不斷地聽到人們敘述的故事，要不是神的應許看似無法成就，就是一些人們甚至看到神的新的行動開始了而突然之間斷絕掉。
這是我相信神正在說的，“正如在2005年事情突然發生變化並被斷絕，我現在正在更新和恢復情況 –剎時！我正在再次分開紅海，讓不可能變為可能（注1）。觀看我的作為，給我當有的榮耀，就在你的生命和服事被恢復和更新的這非常時刻。“
禱告：“上帝，請讓我們對於袮在我們生命中所正在做的事情甦醒過來。對於袮所正在做的賜給我們眼睛能看到，耳朵能聽到。 阿門。”
祝福你，
艾道格

"Is a New Major Revival and Move of God Coming in 2016?"
Doug Addison, Los Angeles, CA

Why I Believe a New Major Revival and Move of God Is Coming in 2016
Several years ago God spoke to me about the timing of the major moves of God happening in North America every 11 years:
1994 – Toronto Blessing
1983 – Third Wave Charismatic Movement
1972 – The Jesus People Movement
When you do the math and go back every 11 years from 1994, it also falls on the Healing Movement of 1950, and even back to the Azusa Street Revival in 1906.
God spoke to me that there would be a major move in 2005, but it never happened. In 2005, instead of a revival we went into an 11-year wilderness time.
Then in September 2009, I had an encounter that explained why. (See my previous blog below.)
Now we are approaching 2016, which is 11 years after 2005. This is our time to get ready for something big to come. Hope you can catch the prophetic significance of this like I have. Let's get ready together!
This is the blog post I wrote back in 2009 (previously posted on the Elijah List) describing the encounter I had exactly 6 years ago:
The Last Move of God was the Wilderness!
On September 8, 2009, I had a night vision in which I was taken to an aerial view of various parts of the world. I was shown vast landscapes of lush grasslands that were teeming with new life. I could see exotic plants and trees and I knew in my spirit that what I was seeing was a new move from God that had come upon the earth to bring about a radical revival. (Photo via Pixabay)
Suddenly, a massive wave of destruction came upon the greenery. The whole scene was consumed and only a barren wasteland was left in its place. I watched in shock and felt disappointed and distressed at what I had witnessed.
Then the audible voice of God spoke to me in the vision and said, "I released something new from Heaven, but My people were not ready for it, so I had to bring a wilderness time to purge things that were not of Me."
As I woke from the experience a very strong presence of God was in my bedroom. The Holy Spirit spoke to me that God planned the start of something new in 2005 that would bring about a new level of anointing. This new level was intended to awaken a new revival. But because we were not ready for it, He changed it into a wilderness time instead.
From 2005–2009 many people struggled through a major time of purging, testing, and realignment. Wilderness experiences from God are necessary in order to refine and prepare us.
Hosea 2:14–15 NIV "Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope..."
God released many promises to the Church in 2005. Some promises have been delayed and are now being released.
Our ministry was located in Los Angeles around that time. We were gathering the resources and people to start a training and outreach center near Hollywood. We had been given a sizable grant to support the work when, in 2005, it was as though every door closed for us.
We eventually gave the grant back and moved to Moravian Falls, North Carolina. We were literally placed in the wilderness (we lived in the woods of North Carolina) and we experienced a very difficult time for three years, including a very limited amount of influence and favor. Then in 2009, we were suddenly sent back to the West Coast to start a training center – this time in Santa Maria, California.
We are now in a time of realignment and restarting. Many prophetic words and promises got sidetracked or delayed, and some are now void because of the sudden switch in the spirit. If you have gone through difficult and unclear times over the past few years, this may very well be the reason why.
Had God allowed the new movement to come in 2005 in the condition we were in, it may have destroyed us. We saw several examples of that over the past couple of years as many leaders fell away from their callings or were entangled in sin.
A Time of Awakening
Throughout the month of September, I kept hearing a line from a song on the radio, "Wake me up when September ends." This is very much like the call going out from God right now – He will be waking many of His people up in the month of October.
This is the time to press into God and ask Him for more clarity. We will all see some type of answered prayer during this month. You will need to watch for it. Those who are not paying attention may miss this fresh time of God's visitation. God is visiting our situations, our families, jobs, relationships, and ministries, and a trumpet blast is going out to call people to awaken!
We will see some strange events in the months to come and a massive amount of sudden changes and turnarounds. If we stay centered on God, we will not be shaken.
Check for yourself – think back and look at the year 2005 and see if anything unusual happened. Were you going one direction when things switched and seemed to dry up?
As I have asked people this question, I am hearing story after story of how God had either made a promise that didn't seem to work out, or some even saw a new move of God start that suddenly got cut off.
This is what I believe God is saying, "Just as suddenly as things changed and were cut off in 2005, I am now renewing and reviving situations – suddenly! I am parting the Red Sea once again and making the impossible possible. Watch Me and give Me glory as your life and ministry are restored and renewed in this very hour."
Prayer: "God, awaken us to what You are doing in our lives right now. Give us eyes to see and ears that can hear what You are doing. Amen."
