主題:點燃阿蘇薩:為一個新的耶穌革命定位好
日期:2016年4月7日
作者:Jennifer A. Miskov

我們正處於有史以來最偉大的其中一個覺醒的邊緣。許多人都預言神在地上所要行的新工作,將遠遠超過任何我們所曾見過的。我們這一代人正孕育著要誕生出一個關於耶穌的新革命,我們被賦予了這令人難以置信的機會來踏入在我們的日子中真正特別的東西裡。

阿蘇薩街的復興不光只是一些在一百年前所發生的事情罷了,它預言我們的未來,神要在今天更巨大的傾倒出來。踏入在阿蘇薩的復興中被點燃的對我們而言將是一個壯舉,神將人們帶到耶穌的面前這行動將比以往的幾個世紀加起來還要有更多的人數回應。關於我們命定的教訓和關鍵要點就嵌在他們的故事中。在我們的日子裡我們可以更多的釋放出神榮耀的界域。從阿蘇薩存留下來的火在今日仍然燃燒著並可被取用。

阿蘇薩街復興(1906年至1909年)是一個重要的屬靈覺醒,對於五旬節教派以及基督教在世界各地快速的增長起了至關重要的作用。在1905年11月16日,當復興在加州爆發的僅僅幾個月之前,在洛杉磯的一名代禱者Frank Bartleman,心中感受到類似我們當中許多人現在所感受到的一樣。他說,

“復興的電流正從我們的門前橫掃。我們將會把自己投入這強大的懷抱中,搭乘上這輝煌的勝利?能生活在這有著神美好奇妙可能性的一年,值得過上一百年平淡無味的生活。”五旬節“正在我們的門口敲門。我們國家的復興不再是一個問題。緩慢但堅定地,這浪潮一直在上升,直到在不久的將來,我們相信救贖的洪水將會勢如破竹橫掃一切。威爾斯的復興將不會長期成為單獨一件為我們的基督的輝煌成就。復興的靈正藉著神的氣息,聖靈,臨到我們。雲正在迅速聚集,巨大強力的降雨,除了少數以外皆不斷降下。

英雄將會從困難和鄙視的塵土中興起,他們的名字將被印上天堂永恆的英雄榜上。聖靈再次在我們的土地上蘊量如同創造那時的黎明,而神的命令發出。“要有光”。弟兄姐妹們,如果我們都相信上帝能夠,你知道這將會發生什麼?我們許多在這裡的人們活著不為別的。大量帶著信心的禱告日夜上達寶座。洛杉磯,南加州和整個美洲大陸必發現自己正在神的聖靈和能力所帶來的巨大復興的陣痛之前。“

你能感覺到你靈裡深處的攪動嗎?如果我們真的相信神,你可知道將有可能會發生什麼?今天我們當中的許多人正感受到神所將要傾倒在全地上的那些東西的強度和重量。我們確實是處在我們所曾見過的最偉大的復興的邊緣。那走在我們前頭的勁勢是不可小觑的。

當你更深入研究阿蘇薩的故事,我宣告弱者要變剛強,隱藏的顯露出來,破碎的被恢復成為完整,受傷的得醫治。我召喚英雄從晦澀和鄙視的情況下這塵土中興起。當你閱讀“點燃阿蘇薩”時,我祈求聖靈用神的火前所未有的點燃你。

 “神,在我們這個時代和未來的年日再次來如此行。不管這將是什麼樣子,我們一點都不在乎,只要我們有更多的袮。釋放出來袮要在我們這世代中儲存進來的親密和命定的鑰匙。掩蓋我們,讓我們帶著永遠不會熄滅的火焰為袮燃燒。我們永遠都屬於袮,主。用袮的榮耀來為我們印上記號。我們對袮說“是的”,不管這代價有多少。“

Ignite Azusa: Positioning for a New Jesus Revolution
JENNIFER A. MISKOV
9:00AM EDT 4/7/2016

We are on the verge of one of the greatest awakenings of all time. Many have prophesied about a new move of God on the horizon that far surpasses any we have ever seen. Our generation is pregnant with birthing a new Jesus Revolution and we have been given the incredible opportunity to step into something truly special in our day.

The Azusa Street Revival is not just something that happened over a hundred years ago, it prophesies into our future of what God wants to pour out in an even greater measure today. There is great momentum for us to step into that was initiated in the Azusa Street Revival, a move of God that has brought more people to Jesus than in previous centuries combined. Lessons and keys for our destiny are embedded in their story. We can access these to unlock even greater realms of God's glory in our day. The fire from Azusa is still burning and available today.

The Azusa Street Revival (1906-1909) was a significant spiritual awakening that played a crucial role in the emergence of Pentecostalism and the rapid growth of Christianity around the globe. On Nov. 16, 1905, just months before the revival was sparked in California, an intercessor in Los Angeles named Frank Bartleman felt a stirring similar to what many of us might be feeling today. He said,

The current of revival is sweeping by our door. Will we cast ourselves on its mighty bosom and ride to glorious victory? A year of life at this time, with its wonderful possibilities for God, is worth a hundred years of ordinary life. "Pentecost" is knocking at our doors. The revival for our country is no longer a question. Slowly but surely, the tide has been rising until in the very near future we believe for a deluge of salvation that will sweep all before it. Wales will not long stand alone in this glorious triumph for our Christ. The spirit of reviving is coming upon us, driven by the breath of God, the Holy Ghost. The clouds are gathering rapidly, big with a mighty rain, whose precipitation lingers but a little.

Heroes will arise from the dust of obscure and despised circumstances, and their names will be emblazoned on heaven's eternal page of fame. The Spirit is brooding over our land again as at creation's dawn, and the fiat of God goes forth. "Let there be light." Brother, sister, if we all believed God, can you realize what would happen? Many of us here are living for nothing else. A volume of believing prayer is ascending to the throne night and day. Los Angeles, Southern California and the whole continent shall surely find itself ere long in the throes of a mighty revival, by the Spirit and power of God.

Can you feel the stirring deep within your spirit? If we really believed God, can you realize what might happen? Many of us today are sensing the intensity and weight of what God is about to pour out in all the earth. We are indeed on the verge of the greatest revival we have ever seen. The momentum of those who have gone before us is great.

As you dive into the Azusa story, I declare that the weak be made strong, the hidden unveiled, the brokenhearted restored and made whole, and the wounded healed. I call forth the heroes to arise from the dust of obscure and despised circumstances. As you read Ignite Azusa, I pray that the Holy Spirit will ignite you with the fire of God like never before.

"God, do it again in our day and even more. Whatever it looks like, we don't care, just as long as we have more of You. Release the keys of intimacy and destiny that You want to deposit into our generation. Overshadow us and cause us to burn for You with a flame that will never go out. We are Yours forever, Lord. Mark us for Your glory. We say yes to You, no matter what the cost."

The preceding is an excerpt from the new book Ignite Azusa: Positioning for a New Jesus Revolution by Jennifer A. Miskov, Ph.D., with Heidi Baker, Lou Engle and Bill Johnson.

Heidi Baker, Ph.D. (Iris Global), Lou Engle (TheCall) and Bill Johnson (Bethel Church in Redding, California) partner together in Ignite Azusa to inspire courage to step into the momentum set before us today. They will also be in Los Angeles April 9, 2016 for the 110th anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival at the AzusaNow gathering. We are believing for a new Jesus Revolution in our day.
