當代挪亞們正在興起

主從去年就開始跟我說,這個新的歷史階段,眾人要有更加堅固的信心、並能付上全然的順服。主接著說,在這個新階段,基督的肢體必須明確一個問題:“我們是否全人全心擁抱主的道路、是否全然順服祂?”

在我尋求主心意時,主常常對我強調創世記6:8-22挪亞的故事。主在這段經文中突出的幾個重點,我隨後會分享;當我與主同坐細品這段經文時,我裡面升起這樣的感動:當代挪亞們正在興起。

在這個新的歷史階段,有些時候神會釋放話語,以完全“不合常理”、甚至讓人覺得瘋狂的方式,建造生命和事工。

在這個新階段,主會在一些決定性的時刻,清晰釋放祂的話語來建造;這次建造的一些細節,與過去落成的工作相比,可能會顯得完全不合常理,建造的方式也有別從前。

主正以更偉大的方式解決教會裡畏懼人意的問題,祂將自己的愛傾倒給教會,啟示我們祂是誰,啟示我們在基督裡的命定。祂要更深的堅固教會,使教會愈加成熟。

主會在這個新的歷史階段發出更多邀請,以你不曾經歷的方式差你出去,做你不曾想自己可以完成的工作,你要跟隨主去到未經之地。這些時候,主的恩寵、供應都會伴隨你,主大能的手會一直按手在你身上,如此,一切的懷疑與嘲笑都無法動搖你。

主正更明確祂的聲音、更堅定祂的話語

主正釋放的一些戰略與信息可能完全出人意料,你和身邊人的小腦袋瓜可能也難以理解。但主就是要這樣堅固你的信心,讓你對祂的聲音和話語有前所未有的確信。你在由內而外愈發成熟,於是可以承載更多、更深建造,與主同工成就比從前更大的工作。你只管跟隨祂的聲音、遵行祂的話語,祂會很好的保護你。

在這個新階段,屬神的百姓迫切需要裝備大膽的信心,不被對人的畏懼所轄制,不對主的旨意做任何妥協。那些將自己的生命全然獻給耶穌基督、單單遵行祂旨意的生命,會在這個新階段經歷並帶出聖靈至偉大的工作。那些決心全然順服主的生命,會真的做到不計代價、不顧反對、無視嘲笑。

“我速速遵守你的命令,並不遲延。”(詩篇119:60聖經和合本2010)

“我急忙遵守你的命令,並不遲延。”(詩篇119:60聖經和合本)

“我的心專向你的律例,永遠遵行,一直到底。”(詩篇119:112聖經和合本)

聖靈在這個新的歷史階段正在和將要做的事情,都需要我們全然順服祂的指引與道路,即時有時超乎常理、不合預期,都要順服;秉承著順服經歷過這一切後,我們內裡被系統的提升,力量、忍耐、信心都持定始終、毫不動搖。

然而,因懼怕人的緣故,“對神的話語有所妥協”的種子仍有殘留,這樣的情況下,壽數力量、忍耐都無法按主的旨意增長茂盛。

我們會在這新的歷史階段,見證聖靈部分偉大至極的運動。主會以祂的聲音指引祂的百姓,建造生命與事工。我們需要全然獻身並順服主的指引,我們需要信靠耶穌基督並祂的供應。你猜接著會發生什麼?
主必對你彰顯他的信實!主必在你生命中大大彰顯自己——祂會供應你、恩寵你,你會見證你與耶穌同工勝過萬人之力。

潔淨之流將涓涓流淌

那些願在這新的季節跟隨耶穌、遵行祂真理的人,他們不計代價,在主要建造的地方、以主的方式建造。主向我顯明,在這些人中間,將有聖靈的潔淨之流涓涓流淌。聖靈的江河在他們中間自由流淌,神的尊貴與榮耀隨河流毫無保留的彰顯其間。豐收之時,全地都要看見耶穌同在的分量。神同在的榮耀會極大的在豐收之地駐留,從國家到城市,到穀倉,到大型聚會場所,到家庭聚會,到小範圍的聚集禱告,到教會的聚會與團契。

當我們看淡形式、不被他人的看法左右,而是以全然的順服與主同工時,主會使用我們建立根起根基,天國也會由此傾入!異能、神蹟、奇事也跟隨而來,復興的烈火在根基處燃燒並蔓延到城市與國家。古老的故事中,神透過超自然的神蹟、奇事、異能帶來復興,我們呼求這樣的故事能在今日重現。如今我們真的要看見啦!不過是以不同、卻更加偉大的方式,也需要我們向主和主的真理、道路與戰略全然屈膝降服。

我心存敬畏,細細聆聽主對我講話。祂說,在這個新的歷史階段,我們可以很明確的知道誰行在主的道路與戰略裡,誰按著祂的心意建造;新酒與榮耀都會從這些人的生命中流淌出來,以我們從未見過的方式在所要建造之地流動並彰顯。

主發出邀請,我們作為基督的肢體,要給出回應。在這新的歷史階段,我們必須心中堅定:“主啊,即便我還不知道你要我做什麼、要我去那裡,我依然預備好自己要跟從你。”多麼喜樂啊!當上帝的孩子認識天父的良善、認識基督裡的自己、深深愛著主耶穌基督,是多麼喜樂的事情啊!無論主對我有怎樣的呼召,順服並跟隨主耶穌是我的喜樂!因我認識主,認識祂的本性,我心中毫無懼怕!

當代的挪亞們正在興起。讓我們向主呼求:“主啊!賜我們一顆順從你、明白你道路的心,賜我們一顆毫無保留、全然順服你的心吧!”


THE MODERN DAY NOAHS ARE ARISING!!!
Lana Vawser
September 24, 2019

The Lord has been speaking to me since last year about this new era being one that requires greater faith and radical obedience. The Lord has continued to say that in this new era there is a very definitive line being drawn in the sand for the body of Christ that asks the question “Do we wholeheartedly embrace His ways and obey Him completely, or not?”

In the journey of seeking His heart regarding this the Lord has been highlighting the story of Noah in Genesis 6:8-22 often. The Lord has been highlighting a few things to me from this passage which I will share over time, but as I have sat with the Lord on this passage the stirring has increased within me that the modern day Noah’s are arising.

There will be times in this new era where the word of the Lord is going to come to “build” in a way that seems completely “out of left field” and others may think you are crazy.

There are definitive moments in this new era where the word of the Lord will come so clearly to “build” with specifics that may be completely “against the grain” of what has been built or in ways you have ever built before.

The Lord is dealing with the fear of man in the Church and pouring out of His love and the revelation of who He is and our identity in Christ in greater ways that is solidifying and maturing the Church in deeper ways.

The invitation will be extended in this new era to step out in ways you have never stepped out and do things you never thought you would do and follow the Lord down the ‘unbeaten tracks’ and ‘uncharted territories’ but in those moments the favour, provision and hand of the Lord will be so strongly upon you that the words of the doubters or the mockers will not shake you.

A DEEPER FORTIFICATION IN HIS VOICE AND HIS WORD IS TAKING PLACE

In these strategies and words of the Lord that He is releasing that may seem completely unexpected and in some ways may not make sense to your natural mind or those around you, in that place God is fortifying you in confidence in His voice and His Word like never before. The deepening of maturity is taking place within you to carry more, build more and do more with the Lord than you have ever done before and there is great PROTECTION found in obeying His voice and His Word.

It is imperative in this new era that the people of God are living in the place of BOLD FAITH and not caged by the fear of man that would compromise obedience to the Word of the Lord. Some of the greatest moves of the Spirit of God in this new era will be seen in places where there are those who are living laid down in complete yielding and surrender to Jesus and His way. Those who hearts are committed to obeying the Lord COMPLETELY no matter the cost, no matter the opposition, no matter the mocking.

“I give my all to follow your revelation-light; I will not delay to obey.” (Psalm 119:60 – The Passion Translation)

“I incline my heart to perform your statutes forever, to the end.” (Psalm 119:60 – English Standard Version)

“I have determined in my heart to obey whatever you say,fully and forever!” (Psalm 119:112 – The Passion Translation)

What the Holy Spirit is doing and will do in this new era through the obedience to His voice and His way even in what seems like the most left field and unexpected ways will develop within the people of God the deep root system, strength, endurance and faith to REMAIN and NOT BE SHAKEN. While there are weeds of “compromising the rhema word of God” because of fear of man, longevity, strength and endurance cannot flourish as He intends.

Some of the greatest moves of His Spirit in this new era will be seen in the voice of the Lord coming to instruct His people to build in a way that requires complete devotion and obedience to His voice and DEEP reliance and trust in Him and His provision and guess what? He will NOT fail you, He will show Himself STRONG. He will provide, favour will be upon you and you will see that you and Jesus equals the majority.

PURE, PURE FLOW WILL FLOW

Those that follow Jesus and His Word in this new era to build where, how and in the WAY that He is instructing in this new era no matter the cost, the Lord showed me a PURE, PURE FLOW of His Spirit will flow. There will be a free flow of His Spirit, there will be an uncontaminated, unhindered flow where the MAJESTY and GLORY of God will be so strongly revealed. The Lord showed me that the WEIGHTINESS of His presence will draw in the harvest from near and far. The Shekinah Glory of God will reside heavily in these places. From country towns, to barns, to stadiums, to houses, to a few gathered in prayer, to a church meeting. Where the foundation has been laid by radical obedience to build with Him no matter how it looks or how crazy others may think they are, heaven will crash in! Miracles, signs and wonders will flow and there will be major fires of revival burning in and through these places that will see cities and nations impacted. Stories we have heard of old of how the Lord moved supernaturally in signs, wonders and miracles through revivalists that we cry out for in our day now, will be seen again in different and greater ways, but it will flow from those and those places where there is radical yielding and obedience to Him, to His Word, His WAYS and his strategies.

I felt the fear of the Lord strongly as He spoke to me that in this new era it will be very clear who is walking in His ways and His strategy, who is building in His heartbeat for the new wine and Glory will flow from them and those places in ways we have NEVER seen before.

I believe this invitation from the Lord requires a response from us as the body of Christ. In this new era we must be in the heart position of “Lord, I am ready to obey before you even tell me what I am to do or where I am to go”. Its the place of JOY to OBEY as a child of God living in the revelation of how good our Father is and who we are in Christ, so in love with Him that no matter what He asks, it is my joy to obey and to follow Jesus without fear because KNOW who He is and His nature.

The modern day Noah’s are arising. Let us cry out to Him “Lord, develop in us a heart that hears and knows your ways, a heart that obeys without delay and obeys completely.”
