近來我與主相遇交通，我看見眾位基督肢體，因疲憊放棄了神賜他們的應許。眾人陷入自滿，幾乎對主賜他們生命的應許不存盼望了。持續的爭戰，讓神的百姓對祂賜的應許灰心。
我聽見主說：「重拾應許。再次相信！我是信實的。」
「雨雪從天而降，並不返回，卻要滋潤土地，使地面發芽結實，使撒種的有種，使要吃的有糧。我口所出的話也必如此，絕不徒然返回，卻要成就我的旨意，達成我差它的目的。」（賽55:10-11）
主是信實的，祂必成就祂說過的話。都掉塵埃，再度站立。主正恢復盼望、力量，呼召祂的百姓信靠、根植祂的信實中。
主告訴我，仇敵恐嚇攻擊眾人，一場又一場爭戰讓神的百姓陷入灰心與疲乏，因為神的應許迫切要臨到祂的百姓、信心要在信徒生命中爆發生長。
仇敵極力讓眾人陷入灰心與絕望，分散他們的注意力，但主如今不但要極大彰顯祂曾賜下的應許，也要讓祂的百姓前所未有的覺醒自己生命的命定。
許多被極力抵擋、攻擊的應許，是以遠超我們理解的方式、深深連於神這個季節賜你生命的委任。
當這些應許彰顯，神在這個新的季節對你生命的全新委任與藍圖要展開。
所以，如果過去幾個月，你放棄了神給你的一些重大應許，我勸你悔改，再次站立、在神裡面重拾盼望，因為祂必不使你的盼望落空。
「我的心哪，你為何憂悶？為何在我裡面煩躁？應當仰望神，我還要稱謝祂，我當面的拯救，我的神。」（詩42:11）
我聽見聖靈繼續說：「這是改變的時候。這是神聖重整的時候。這是榮耀君王登上舞臺的時候。這是進入下一篇章的時候。」
過去幾年，主一直讓我思想賽43:19有關祂行新事的真理。過去幾週主再次向我強調賽43:18的內容：
「你們不要追念從前的事，也不要思想古時的事。」我有極強烈的感動，神希望祂的百姓期盼祂行的新事。祂過去所行的事是榮耀的，但如今臨到我們的事是無與倫比的。
是時候抖落失望、彈掉灰心、卸下絕望了，進入祂的同在、讚美祂，便能清理這些。盡心敬拜讚美祂，從而卸下這一切。讚美祂，因祂信實，祂所說的、祂所應許的都將成就。仇敵對你的恐嚇、使你灰心、讓你疲乏的攻擊都不必在意，在神裡面持定盼望。神正成就新事！
再次預備好自己，以祂的真理認識祂！祂的話語從不落空。祂煥新的雨水從天而降，滋潤你。等候祂，切切等候祂，祂必因你恆切的等候使你從新得力。（賽40:30）
I HEARD THE LORD SAY “PICK UP THE PROMISES AGAIN”
Lana Vawser
Oct. 25, 2021
Recently, I had an encounter with the Lord where I saw many in the body of Christ, because of weariness, had laid down promises that the Lord had given them. There was a complacency and almost a void of hope regarding promises the Lord had spoken over their lives. The ongoing battles left many of God’s people in a place of deep discouragement concerning promises He had spoken.
I heard the Lord say “PICK UP THE PROMISES AGAIN. BELIEVE AGAIN! I AM FAITHFUL”
I then heard Isaiah 55:10-11 resounding loudly in the spirit:
“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” (ESV)
The Lord is faithful, He is faithful to accomplish that which He has spoken. Shake off the dust and arise again. The Lord is restoring hope, restoring strength and calling His people to trust and sow into His faithfulness.
The Lord showed me that the enemy came with an assault against many with intimidation, and battle after battle to bring discouragement and weariness against God’s people, because of the place of ‘imminency’ of the manifestation of God’s promise and faithfulness bursting forth into the lives of believers.
The enemy has been working hard to try and bring many into a place of discouragement and despair, and steal their focus through distraction, but this is not only a time where the Lord is bringing forth very significant manifestation of promises He has spoken, but also positioning His people in this awakening to move into their destiny like never before.
Many of the promises that have had the greatest level of opposition and contending are the very promises that are deeply connected in more ways than you understand, to the assignment from the Lord over your life in this era.
In the manifestation of these promises coming forth, there is a great unfolding of the new assignment and blueprint of the Lord’s plans over your life in this new era.
So if in the last few months, you have laid down some big promises God has given you, I exhort you to repent, and arise again and put your hope in God, for hope in God does not disappoint.
“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him, my salvation and my God” (Psalm 42:11 – ESV)
“So I say to my soul, “Don’t be discouraged. Don’t be disturbed. For I know my God will break through for me.” Then I’ll have plenty of reasons to praise him all over again. Yes, living before his face is my saving grace.” (Psalm 42:11 – TPT)
I continued to hear the Spirit of God say “It’s a time of change. It’s a time of the divine rearrange. It’s a time for the King of Glory to take the stage. It is time for the next page.”
Over the last few years, the Lord continues to bring me to Isaiah 43:19 about the NEW thing that God is doing. In the last few weeks, the Lord continues to highlight Isaiah 43:18 to me.
“Remember NOT the FORMER things, nor CONSIDER the things of OLD.”
I had this incredibly strong sense of God wanting His people to EXPECT the NEW THING that He is doing. What He has done before and in times past is GLORIOUS, but it is NOTHING compared to what is upon us now.
It is time to shake off the discouragement, shake off the hopelessness, shake off the despair, shake it off by getting into His presence and praising Him. Shake it off by coming before Him in intentional worship and praise. Praise Him that HE IS FAITHFUL and that what He has spoken and promised WILL manifest. Consider NOT the FUTILE attempts of the enemy to intimidate, discourage and weary you, PUT YOUR HOPE IN GOD. God is doing SOMETHING NEW!
Position yourself again and take Him at HIS WORD! For His Word NEVER FAILS. The rain of His refreshment is pouring down upon you. Wait upon Him, wait expectantly again for Him, for He is renewing your strength as you wait upon Him in expectant hope. (Isaiah 40:31)
