我很享受在家的這一週。僅僅在這裡走走就非常棒了。從“21日進入新的身份”的禱告中帶出的神的同在不斷湧出。這是前行的時刻,或更深的理解我們生命中現在所處理的事情。我們只能透過神的視角來看才能做這件事。我很喜歡以賽亞書。一段非常重要需要去理解的是賽55:1-3、8-12: 

你們一切乾渴的都當就近水來,沒有銀錢的也可以來。你們都來,買了吃,不用銀錢,不用價值,也來買酒和奶。你們為何花錢(原文作“平銀”)買那不足為食物的?用勞碌得來的買那不使人飽足的呢?你們要留意聽我的話,就能吃那美物,得享肥甘,心中喜樂。你們當就近我來,側耳而聽,就必得活。我必與你們立永約,就是應許大衛那可靠的恩典。 

耶和華說:“我的意念非同你們的意念,我的道路非同你們的道路。天怎樣高過地,照樣,我的道路高過你們的道路,我的意念高過你們的意念。雨雪從天而降,並不返回,卻滋潤地土,使地上發芽結實,使撒種的有種,使要吃的有糧。我口所出的話也必如此,決不徒然返回,卻要成就我所喜悅的,在我發他去成就(“發他去成就”或作“所命定的”)事上必然亨通。你們必歡歡喜喜而出來,平平安安蒙引導;大山小山必在你們面前發聲歌唱,田野的樹木也都拍掌。 

這關乎看見超越! 

“主在向祂的子民延續新的呼召” 

眾先知告訴我們 神的道路不同於我們的道路,並且如果我們的看見超越我們的環境,超越我們現在的思維方式,我們將開始對祂正在我們生命中所做的事有所看見。祂做事的方式遠遠超越我們的。祂的光比我們周圍的任何黑暗都更有能力。祂的真理遠遠強過那些試圖把我們引入岔路的錯誤的靈。聖靈比試圖讓我們偏離神為我們預備的最好的事的邪靈更加偉大。我們遭遇全地的審判時,主的寶血和靈會在我們活著的身體一同工作來保守我們可以有祂的看見。 

抬起你的眼睛向前看!我們將進入一個叫做“超越”的地方。深呼吸,我們要進入一個叫“超越”的地方。你從未到過那裡。因為你之前沒有到過那裡,你將必須有意願用新的方式移動,新的方式跳舞,新的方式去聽,新的方式去看,新的方式去感受,新的方式去觸摸,以及用新的方式去嘗嘗。你將超越!我曾教導去到叫做那裡的地方。但那不是這個地方。相反,這是叫做超越的地方! 

神與亞伯拉罕所立的約是超越那時任何在屬地領域所見及所形成的。這約不受時間與空間的限制。有時神會限制世代的祝福與咒詛在十代之間。然而,這與亞伯拉罕不同。亞伯拉罕的祝福是開放給所有祝福亞伯拉罕和他的子孫的國的人。今天,很多人想要神的祝福,但他們卻不想嫁接到神透過亞伯拉罕的盟約計劃中去。 

神的心意是祝福列國。然而,唯一能為一個國家獲得祝福的是,這個國家要與亞伯拉罕之約約保持正確的關係。萬邦萬民不必與亞伯拉罕有所關係而去經歷豐盛的應許。透過主耶穌他們可以無誤的宣告亞伯拉罕是他們的父並且看到他們命定的祝福的豐滿被開啟。(可參考 羅4:11-12,加3:29) 

進入新的領域! 

昨天早晨,Candice Demerly分享了她從神聽見的關於這個季節的東西: 

“我的莊園裡有你的住處。我的聲音在呼喚你去往更高之處。你能聽見我嗎?你感覺到我在描繪你。這是一個超越你目前環境的地方, 一個超越你所知道和想像的地方。這是在我的裡面,同我一起,在我周圍。” 

“我必須釋放束縛的枷鎖。我必須釋放隱形的圈套,因為你沒有察覺那個蒙蔽。你看不到我們之間的距離。這是一個鴻溝,一種孤獨,一種無能為力。你看不到我看到的樣子。你不像我想的那樣。蒙蔽被撕開,你卻走在蒙蔽裡。你不想做,但你依然在做。我必須派我的使者來釋放你。在未來的日子裡,你會經歷到它們,因為你必須被釋放,進入新的境界,完成我為你在此時所描繪的一切。” 

“事情會快速地,合宜地發展,因為時間是短暫的,我必須使用那些願意和順從的人,那些舉手說,‘主,我在這裡,使用我,差遣我。’因為我將使用他們,我將差遣他們,並將給予他們力量。未來的日子是偉大的,而更大的依然是我讚美的院,因為一個人必須在靈與真理中敬拜我。看見了麼?人必須知道真理而在敬拜中找到我。扭曲的真理會歪曲敬拜並且是惡臭的。什麼是真理?凡事均需尋求真理,因為凡事都是敬拜。敬拜我。在每個可以想到的方式。你能想像多少呢?敬拜我。” 

接下來5天的禱告重點: 

第17天:閱讀馬太福音16章,聚焦在13-20節。超越你先前的啟示!沒人比彼得得到更多啟示。他走到了他所知的前面並且天父與他連結。停一下!請父啟示你超過你現在所知的。 

第18天:閱讀路加福音22章:默想第31節。超越你最後的篩選(your last sifting)!彼得無法進入更深的啟示,因為他停在他所看見的。他已經得著關於之後世代的預言,卻在15分鐘之內被喚作撒旦。他的思想和情感超越了他。當你無法持守你新的身份,你將重新回到之前的樣子。如果你無法保持和抓住神給你的啟示,在你的路上就會有一處叫做篩子。基本上,耶穌說: "彼得,當你經過這個叫做篩選的地方時,你所能做的就是堅固你的弟兄們。如果你想走另一條路,撒旦會得著你。“是時候該走向超越的路了!祂做事的方式遠遠超過我們的。” 

第19天:閱讀路加福音24章。超越你最後的創傷和死亡經驗。我們要看看耶穌是如何讓一個團隊超越前一個季節的預言。當耶穌死了,就把他們都丟掉了,因為他們無法“得到”預言。這是耶穌在以馬忤斯路上對其中一些人說的話:“如果你僅僅知道聖經,你可以得到這個,但是你無法看見超越創傷和你期望發生的事情。”他將帶你超越你的之前的創傷和死亡經驗,開你的眼,進入一個你無法在舊有的地方看見或者明白的領域。 

第20天:閱讀約翰福音第20章。超越你最後的恐懼和寬恕的能力。七日的頭一日,門徒都在一起,因為他們以為他們剩下的僅僅是彼此而已。他們鎖了門,因為他們相信殺死耶穌的人同樣會殺死他們。(v19)。耶穌就出現在門徒們躲藏的房間裡,說: "我帶你超越你之前的能力以及恐懼抓著你的地方。”你是否意識到你所陷入的恐懼與你的能力有關?你的恐懼是因為你依靠自己去做事,而你卻無法做。祂對他們說,“讓我帶領你們越過恐懼,並讓我托付你去並且饒恕。”那是他們唯一可以前行的路,對我們同樣如此。你不會得著屬於你的超越,除非你們越過那叫做饒恕的路標。你必須通過篩選,恐懼並且饒恕,然後你就可以超越。 

第21天:閱讀約翰福音第21章。超越你之前對你呼召的理解。神在對祂的子民延伸新的呼召。門徒們超越了,但後來又回到從前的樣子。你知道這是一個現在對我們大家非常危險的地方麼?我們所面臨的選擇是超越我們去過的地方,或者回到三年半之前的季節。門徒們回去打漁。他們重新拾起他們的業務。但耶穌在他們的職場遇見了他們!不要被欺騙或進入宗教謊言,如果你不做你應該做的事,你就不能成功。即使你不做你應該做的事,他也能讓你興盛。他能允許你興盛。他幫助他的門徒在他們的職場興盛。 

他們認出他並且吃過早飯後,耶穌對彼得說話。耶穌可以對彼得說“如果你真的愛我,你還記得我說過的預言,說你會像麥子一樣被篩過,然後你就必須堅固你的弟兄們麼?你得回到你的呼召裡去,你必須超越你過去的三年半,進入一個新的類型的呼召。”你會認為彼得低下他的頭,說: "我在這裡,主!”但實際上他說的是“約翰會怎麼樣呢?”耶穌的回答基本是說: "那與你何干呢?我在問你,如果你將超越的話。”耶穌不是在說推卸責任,而是問: "你會繼續跟著我, 即使他們決定不跟從?” 

叫做“超越”的大門在向你敞開。通過吧!穿越這門!

 

Going Through the Gate Called 'Beyond'! Plus 5 Day Prayer Focus"
Chuck D. Pierce
Feb 17, 2018

Dear Advancing Ones:

I loved being home this week. Just walking in the atmosphere here was amazing. The presence of God from the "21 Days of Coming into a new identity" (prayer focus) is just overwhelming. This is a time to go beyond, or take the matter at hand in our lives to a deeper measure of understanding. We can only do this by seeing from God's perspective. I love the book of Isaiah. One Scripture portion that is very important to understand is from Isaiah 55:1-38-12:

"Wait and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Yes, come, buy [priceless, spiritual] wine and milk without money and without price [simply for the self-surrender that accepts the blessing]. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your earnings for what does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness [the profuseness of spiritual joy]. Incline your ear [submit and consent to the divine will] and come to Me; hear, and your soul will revive; and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with you, even the sure mercy (kindness, goodwill, and compassion) promised to David...

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. For you shall go out [from the spiritual exile caused by sin and evil into the homeland] with joy and be led forth [by your Leader, the Lord Himself, and His word] with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." (AMP)

This is About Seeing Beyond!


"The Lord is extending new calls to His people."


The prophets tell us that the Lord's ways are not our ways, and if we will see beyond our circumstances and go beyond our present thought patterns, we will begin to have vision of what He is doing in our lives. His way of doing things is so far beyond ours. His light is more powerful than any darkness around us. His truth is so much stronger than any spirit of error that could attempt to lead us astray. Holy Spirit is greater than the spirit of the evil one, who attempts to make us deviate from God's best for us. The Lord's Blood and Spirit work together in our living bodies to keep us having His perspective, as we encounter the trials of earth.

Lift up your eyes and look beyond! We're going into a place called beyond. Take a deep breath; we're going to a place called beyond. You've not been there before. Since you've not been there before, you're going to have to be willing to move in new ways, dance in new ways, hear in new ways, see in new ways, feel in new ways, touch in new ways, and taste in new ways. You're going beyond! I once taught on going to the place called there. That's not this place. Rather, this is a place called beyond!

The covenant that God made with Abraham was beyond any that had been seen or formed in the earth realm. This covenant was not limited to the confines of time or space. There are times when God limits the generational flow of blessings and curses for ten generations. However, this was not so with Abraham. Abraham's blessings were open-ended to all who would bless Abraham and his offspring as a nation. In today's world, many want God's blessings, but they do not want to be grafted into the covenant plan of God through Abraham.

God's intent was to bless all nations. However, the only thing that can secure blessings for a nation is for that nation to stay in right relationship to the Abrahamic covenant. Nations and peoples do not have to be related to Abraham to experience the promise of prosperity. Through the Lord Jesus Christ they can be rightly related and claim Abraham as their father and watch the fullness of their destined blessings unfold (see Rom. 4:11-12; Gal. 3:29).

Enter New Realms!

Yesterday morning, Candice Demerly shared what she was hearing from the Lord for this season:

"I have a place for you in My estates. My voice is calling you to come up higher. Can you hear Me? You feel Me drawing you. It is a place beyond your present circumstances, a place beyond what you know and are imagining. It is a place in Me, with Me, around Me. (Photo via Pixabay)

"I must release the shackles that bind. I must release the invisible snares, for you are unaware of that that blinds. You don't see the space between us. It is a gap and a lonely one; a powerless one. You do not see the way that I see. You do not think the way that I think. The veil is torn and yet you walk veiled. You don't want to and yet you do. I must send My ministers to release you. You will experience them in the days ahead, for you must be freed to enter into new realms to complete what I have drawn for you to do at this time.

"Things will go quickly and expediently, for time is short and I must use those that are willing and obedient, those that are raising their hands saying, 'Here I am Lord, use me, send me.' For I will use them, I will send them, and I will empower them. Great are the days ahead and greater still will be My courts of praise, for one must worship Me in spirit and in truth. Don't you see? One must know truth to find Me in worship. Twisted truth perverts worship and stinks. What is truth? In all things find truth, for in all things is worship. Worship Me. In every way imaginable. How much can you imagine? Worship Me."

Next Five-Day Prayer Focus

Day 17: Read Matthew 16, concentrating on verses 13-20. Go beyond your last revelation! Nobody could get more revelation than Peter. He went beyond what he knew and Father connected with him. Press in! Let Father reveal beyond what you presently know.

Day 18: Read Luke 22; meditate on verse 31. Go beyond your last sifting! Peter could not get the revelation deep enough in him to hang on to what he was seeing. He had received the prophecy for the generations ahead but was then called satan within fifteen minutes. His mind and emotions overtook him. When you can't keep your new identity, you go back to looking like who you were. If you can't keep and secure the revelation God's bringing to you, there is a place called sifting on your road. Basically, Jesus said, "Peter, when you get past this place called sifting, all you can do then is to strengthen your brethren. If you try to go another route, satan's going to have you." It's time to be on the road to beyond!


"His way of doing things is so far beyond ours."


Day 19: Read Luke 24. Go beyond your last trauma and death experience. We have to see how Jesus took a group beyond the prophecy of a previous season. When Jesus died, it threw them all off, because they couldn't "get" the prophecies. This is a synopsis of what Jesus told some of them on the road to Emmaus: "If you could have just known the Scriptures, you could have gotten this, but you couldn't see beyond the trauma and what you expected to happen." He'll take you beyond your last trauma and death experience and open your eyes into a realm that you couldn't see or understand from the old place you were in.

Day 20: Read John 20. Go beyond your last ability to fear and forgive. On the first day of the week, the disciples were all together, because they thought all they had left was each other. They locked the door because they believed that the same ones who killed Jesus would come and kill them (v. 19). Jesus then showed up in the room the disciples were hiding in and said, "I'm taking you beyond your last ability and where fear is gripping you." Are you aware that the fear you're engulfed in is related to what you're capable of doing? Some of your fear is because you're relying upon yourself to pull things off, and you can't do it. He said to them, "Let Me bring you past that fear, and let Me commission you to go and forgive." That was the only way they could move forward, and the same holds true for us. You won't get to your beyond unless you can get past the signpost called forgiveness. You have to get past sifting, fear, and forgiveness, and then you can go beyond.

Day 21: Read John 21. Go beyond the last understanding of your call. The Lord is extending new calls to His people. The disciples went beyond, but then they went right back to what they used to do. Are you aware that's a very dangerous place for all of us right now? We're faced with the choice of going beyond where we've been or going back to the season from three and a half years ago. The disciples went back to fishing. They took up their business again. But Jesus met them in the business! Don't be deceived or get into the religious lie that you can't prosper if you are not doing what you're supposed to be doing. He can prosper you even when you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing. He can allow you to prosper. He helped His disciples prosper in their business. (Photo via youwall)

After they recognized Him and had eaten breakfast, Jesus talked with Peter. Jesus could have said to Peter, "If you do love Me, do you remember that prophecy I gave saying that you would be sifted like wheat and then you'd have to strengthen your brothers? You're going to have to go back into your call. You'll have to go beyond your last three and a half years and into a new type of call." You would think Peter would have fallen on his face and said, "Here I am, Lord!" But what he actually said was, "What's going to happen with John?" Jesus answered him and basically said, "What is that to you? I'm asking you if you will go beyond." Jesus was not talking about shirking responsibility but was asking this: "Will you keep following Me, even if they decide not to?"

The gate called beyond is open to you. Go through! Go through the gate! 

Blessings,

Chuck D. Pierce
