我們正處於重寫家庭、關係和婚姻命運的季節。
現在是你和我看到破壞和劫難的歲月被重寫的時候了，先鋒者們，你和我握著筆。
先鋒們，未來就在你們的筆下

上週，我求問主，祂對先鋒的心意是什麼，這時我的靈開始湧現出祂的想法和洞察力，於是我迅速拿出手機，寫下了臨到我的。
筆、鑰匙和新篇章
首先出現在我眼前的是一個異象，我拿著一支筆，一把鑰匙，一本書在中間打開，裡面有一個空白的新篇章。
我立刻知道我們正從一個篇章轉到另一個篇章，而且神盼望我們在今年開創一些事情來填補這些頁面。
當我思考此問題時，我在靈裡聽到："由我們來寫未來。我們必須寫歷史！"
在現今發生的故事情節中，我們並非無能為力，事實上，神盼望我們與祂一起成為未來的事的作者和作家。
先鋒們，你們是上帝的筆，今年祂正在膏抹你們，讓你們成為祂輝煌詩歌的器皿，將祂的心意帶到地上。
"我們已經成為祂的詩歌，一個重新造的民，將完成祂給我們每個人的命定。"(以弗所書2:10，熱情譯本)
(我們原是他的工作，在基督耶穌裡造成的，為要叫我們行善，就是神所預備叫我們行的。(以弗所書2:10)和合本)
在過去幾年裡，先鋒的筆、創造者，以及那些被呼召通過祂賦予我們所有人的獨特表達方式與神一起書寫歷史的人受到了重大攻擊，但在此新篇章裡，書頁將被新的一天和新的時間的文字、話題、主題和語言填滿。
空白書頁代表著我們所處的白板季節，它要求基督的肢體回應，興起勇敢地走進未知世界，說出一直沒有說出口的，創造我們想看到的世界。
我們必須關閉過去的門，過去的行動，過去的方法、方式、公式，擁抱未知的道路。
我看到的關鍵是上帝提醒我們擁有的權柄。這是《以賽亞書》22:22的大衛鑰匙，它是一把政權的鑰匙，可以改變它所鎖定或打開的一切。
"我必將大衛家的鑰匙放在他肩頭上。他開，無人能關；他關，無人能開。"
這讓我想到了我們的角色，即影響和改變地上和我們周圍發生的故事情節。我們可以關和開門。我們可以決定什麼是允許的，什麼是不允許的，什麼是可以接受的，什麼是不可以的。
此新篇章的開始 關上了教會無能為力時代的大門，是天父把王國的鑰匙交給我們，說："好吧，大能者，現在是你們的時候了，帶著我通過羔羊之血賦予你們的權柄站出來！"
先鋒們，讓我們準備好舞臺
然後我聽到主說："今年是個舞臺。你們從天上寫的和立法的，將成為未來日子的基石"
我們有責任啟動神心中的事情，但隨之而來的現實是，如果我們不這樣做，就會有別的東西來填補這個真空。
今年我們是要把天堂寫在地上，還是要讓人的方式和方法，或者更糟糕的是，讓仇敵來填補這個空白？
我相信這種 "設置舞臺 "意味著我們被呼召打下一個基礎，奠定基礎，或建立一個先例。
一個開闢新天地的呼召進入我靈裡，即鋪設一條新道路或前進方式，讓基督的身體走在其中。
我們如何設置舞臺？我們必須認識到神要求我們為新領域做準備。我們必須通過現在播種，向明天播種。
上一季的莊稼已經成熟，並開始下垂，現在是時候開墾新的土地，種植我們盼望看到在未來的日子裡成為收穫的東西。
今年是決定性的一年，決定我們將打開和走進哪些門，哪些門和領域需要關閉。這是盤點的一年，要把不必要的額外行李從教會中移除，並把它扔出船邊。
我們必須轉變我們的觀點和立場。我們一直專注於果子，並試圖囤積更多的果子，以至於我們忘記了播下種子，讓別人在未來的日子裡汲取營養。
更大的迫切感開始了
當主繼續說話時，我感覺到一種更大的迫切感降臨在先鋒們身上。這迫切感是呼召更深且更遠的開始新事情。
這是對隱密處的呼召，也是此時代的號角，要在祂的腳下生活，而不是尋求公共場所，但同時也不能坐以待斃或無所作為。
我們曾在一個仇敵與我們爭戰的極端拖延和阻擾的季節，那些日子已經過去了。
同時，這也將是一個更深的井和更大的澆灌的季節。
許多先鋒者把這種迫切感誤認為是內心的衝突，但你需要知道，這只是新篇章和你在現在所看到和經歷的現實的拉扯。
這種迫切感有時會讓你感到不舒服，但它是在把你推向你所代表的未來。
這是正確的，上帝正在把你安置在未來，你將學會在即將到來的事情和你所看到的事情之間駕馭那條線。
這種迫切感將使你感到深深不滿，無法在曠野中定居，它將連根拔起你生命中所有潛在的冷漠之地，但好消息是，你將看到神的美意和你一直在祈禱的突破口。
天堂的書架必須被奪回
我聽到祂說："天堂的書架必須奪回！"我知道這是指那些尚未被發現的書籍、歌曲、運動的藍圖、想法、策略和神心意的主題。
但是 "奪 "這個詞讓我印象深刻，它的意思是：
突然和強行抓住；採取或抓住。
用武力奪取；捕獲或征服。
迅速和強行佔有；沒收。
這不僅僅是取回或拿回物品，而是收回被封鎖和偷竊的東西。
"從施洗約翰的日子到現在，天國一直受到暴力的侵害，暴力的人一直在搶奪它。"(馬太福音11:12，熱情譯本)
先鋒們，你們今年的角色是揭開布幕，使教會能夠看到屬於他們的東西。
你們的作用是揭開眼罩，揭示被悲觀和沮喪籠罩的榮耀未來，並打開那些被困住的人的眼睛。
大衛的鑰匙和詩人的繞行
然而，你今年擁有的鑰匙不僅僅是權柄和通道的鑰匙，而是大衛的鑰匙。它是已經失去的敬拜和祭司的鑰匙。
我非常強烈地感受到這一點--今年起有一種新的敬拜之聲在升起，它將打破教會人的能力的玻璃天花板，恢復這一代不惜一切代價也要得到耶穌的原始呼聲。
廣播電臺編輯可以激勵人，也絕對可以鼓勵人，但主正在尋找那些將重點放回祭壇上而不是工作室的人。祂在尋找那些會跑進隱秘處，直到他們帶著祂的歌聲和旋律才會離開的人。
因為在利未人的營地裡，膏油有一種微妙的變質，但神今年正在帶來磨煉，以區分音樂家和敬拜者。
祂正在呼召敬拜者更深入，在世界各地尋求祂心意的敬拜團體中，將有個人的復興爆發。他們將開始發表他們所追求的詩歌。
他們將解開並解除周圍列國的束縛。教會周圍一直有種窒息感，但這種新鮮的聲音將在瞬間打破它。
"主說："是的，我把大衛的鑰匙交給了大衛們。"但他們會接受嗎？他們會不會繞行來抓住它？"
敬拜的先鋒們，知道誰在你們中間工作。找到其他的大衛，並伸出你的手。
因為今年是戰爭之船，它將在新的和未知的水域為上帝的艦隊掌舵。你是那個舵手。好好帶領我們。
新領域是為勇敢的人準備的
我聽到的最後一句話是："新領域在等待！"我感覺到許多先鋒者在踏入新的和未知的領域時心中猶豫不決。
今年將有大量勇氣外袍降臨到那些要從事先鋒運動者身上。你需要啟動去拿。你將需要走出去。
當你這樣做的時候，你會感覺到神的恩典和力量就在你周圍，讓你可以佔領地土，追求屬於你的東西，而是不被地土吐出去。
然後，我看到有人坐下計算數字或新方向上的利弊，他們一直說："這不可能！"
不，一開始不合理(不符合成本)，但在事情不合成本時，你會錯過你的目的嗎？
你會為了讓事情井然有序而放棄你的呼召嗎？事情會有一段時間看起來很亂。它們不會有意義。一開始數字對不起來，人們不會理解你。
但上帝在這上面！先鋒們，請穿上你們的鞋子！
這是一個先鋒生產的季節，但如果你不孕育新事物，你要麼會感到荒蕪，要麼會覺得你錯過了時機。
將會有一個不尋常的呼召，伴隨著冒險和信心，所以空出你的日常計畫表，因為神會用不在你想法中的任務和想法給你帶來驚喜。
不成熟和自發比管理和算計更有恩寵和果子。如果你正在尋找並渴望看到更大的恩膏和更大的同在，你不得不進入於你無法控制的事情，但是聖靈正在呼召你進入的。
你將用更少資源完成更多的事，並經歷比你生命中任何其他季節更多的山頂時刻--它只要你付出計畫和期望。
這是一個換崗和換袍子的年份。角色和制服都在靈發生變化。有新外袍供你取，放掉你過期能力。
有新的角色和名牌。你不能停留在上一季的相同角色和座位上。你已經感覺到了這一點。你知道還有更多，你需要通過穿上那件新外袍並擁有它來啟動你的新職分。
今年是 "買低"的一年。神會把祂的恩寵放在某些管道/場合/地點和表現上，就看我們是否能改變我們的屬靈庫存和焦點去分辨”買點”。
這是我們的時刻。仇敵認為牠已經佔據了權柄的座位，但現在是教會的收復時刻。
現在也是重寫歷史的時刻了
當我寫下所有這些想法時，我突然意識到，在此時候，有一件事是如此接近神對我們的心意--重寫歷史。
重寫那些在過去幾年中經歷過最暗的夜晚的人的故事，他們覺得自己最偉大的日子已經過去了。
改寫那些被帶出去、被暗殺和遇難的人的故事。
改寫那些經歷了最深的心痛並不再看到未來的人的故事。
讓我把話說清楚--我們揮舞著筆，從仇敵和祂的魔鬼計畫中奪回作者身份。
我們可以決定前進的頁面，我們可以引導歷史的情節和故事情節。
說到這裡，神的心在燃燒，盼望看到過去的故事情節被翻轉和救贖。現在是你和我看到破壞和劫難的歲月被重寫的時候了，先鋒者們，你和我握著筆。
我們正處於重寫家庭、關係和婚姻命運的季節。這就是為什麼事情會浮出水面，因為上帝正在進行極端的改造和重修。
"你的子民要重建古老的廢墟，要興起古老的根基；你要稱為破牆的修理者，有住宅的街道的恢復者 "以賽亞書58:12
先鋒們，我們將透過混亂和瓦礫，在那些只看到痛苦的人的生活中喚起新的一天和新的開始。
我們將在自然界沒有盼望之處看到盼望，我們將寫出歌曲和故事，把我們與此盼望聯繫起來。
我們將在媒體只是噴出謊言之處，開創上帝所說的真理，我們將使它成為現實。
先鋒們，拿起你們的筆，好好地揮灑，讓我們出發吧！
PIONEERS, THE FUTURE IS IN YOUR PEN..
FEBRUARY 7, 2022
Nate Johnston
Last week I was asking the Lord what was on His heart for the pioneers when my spirit began to flood with His thoughts and insight, so I quickly took out my phone and wrote down what came to me.
THE PEN, THE KEY, & THE NEW CHAPTER
The first thing that came to me was a vision where I was holding a pen, a key, and a book opened in the middle to a new chapter with blank pages.
I instantly knew we were shifting from one chapter into another and there was something God wanted us to pioneer this year onwards to fill those pages.
As I was thinking about this I heard these words in my spirit “It’s up to us to write the future. We must write history！”
We aren’t powerless in the storyline taking place right now, in fact, God wants us to be the writers and authors with Him of what takes place.
Pioneers, you are God’s pen and this year He is anointing you to be His vessel of glorious poetry to usher in His heart into the earth.
“We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us” Ephesians 2:10
In the last few years, there has been a major attack against the pioneer’s pen, the creatives, and the ones called to write history with God through the unique expressions He has given to us all, but in this new chapter, the pages will be filled with the words, topics, themes, and language of a new day and hour.
The blank pages represent the blank slate season we are in that demands a response from the body of Christ to stand up and courageously step into the unknown and speak what has been unspoken and create the world we want to see.
We have to close the doors to the past, the past moves, the past methods, ways, formulas, and embrace the uncharted road.
The key I saw is the authority God is reminding us that we have. It’s the Isaiah 22:22 key of David that is a governmental key that changes everything it locks or unlocks.
“I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open”
This speaks to me of our role to impact and change the storyline taking place in the earth and around us. We get to shut doors and open them. We get to determine what is allowed and what is not, and what is acceptable and what is not.
This new chapter beginning slams the door to the era of powerlessness In the church and is the Father handing us the keys to the kingdom saying “Ok mighty ones it’s your time to step up with the authority I have given you through the blood of the Lamb！”
PIONEERS, LET’S SET THE STAGE
Then I heard the Lord say “This year sets the stage. What you write and legislate from the heavens will become the cornerstone for the days to come”
We have the responsibility to set in motion the things God has on His heart but with that comes the reality that if we don’t then something else will fill that vacuum.
Will we author heaven to earth this year or will we allow man’s ways and methods or worse, the enemy to fill that void?
I believe that this “setting the stage” means that we have been called to lay a foundation, lay the groundwork, or establish a precedent.
What comes into my spirit is the call to break new ground and pave a new path or way forward that the body of Christ will walk in.
How do we set the stage? We have to recognize the areas God is asking us to prepare for the new in. We have to sow into tomorrow by planting seeds now.
The crops of the last season have ripened and are beginning to droop and it’s time to break new ground and plant what we want to see become a harvest in the days ahead.
This year is the decider year of determining what doors we will open and walk in and what doors and areas need to be shut. It’s a stocktake year of removing the unnecessary extra baggage from the church and casting it over the side of the ship.
We must shift our perspective and position. We have been so focused on the fruit and trying to hoard more fruit that we have forgotten to plant the seeds that others will feed off in the days to come.
A GREATER TENSION BEGINS
As the Lord continued to speak I sensed a greater tension coming upon the pioneers. It’s the tension of the call to DEEPER while feeling the call to launch out FARTHER.
It’s the call to the secret place and the clarion call of the hour to live at His feet more than seeking the public place, but at the same time not sitting still or being inactive.
We have already been in a season of extreme delay and pull-back where the enemy has warred against us producing so those days are over.
This will be a season of deeper wells and a greater outpouring AT THE SAME TIME！
Many pioneers have mistaken this tension as inner conflict but you need to know that this is simply the pull of the new chapter and the reality of what you are seeing and experiencing in the now.
This tension will make you feel uncomfortable at times but it is harpooning you to the future you are the representative for.
That’s right, God is planting you in the future and you will learn to navigate that line between what is coming and what you see.
This tension will cause you to feel deeply dissatisfied and unable to settle in the wilderness and it will uproot all places of potential apathy in your life but the good news is that YOU WILL SEE the goodness of God and the breakthrough you have been praying for.
THE SHELVES OF HEAVEN MUST BE SEIZED！
I heard Him say “The shelves of heaven must be seized！” and I knew this was referring to the books, the songs, the blueprints of movements, ideas, strategies, and themes on God’s heart that have not yet been discovered.
But the word “seized” struck me which means;
To grasp suddenly and forcibly; take or grab.
To take by force; capture or conquer.
To take quick and forcible possession of; confiscate.
This is not just a retrieval or a pickup of goods but a TAKE BACK of what has been both blocked and stolen.
“From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it” Matthew 11:12
Pioneers your role this year is peeling back the curtain so the church can see what is theirs for the taking.
It’s your role to remove blindfolds and reveal the glorious future that has been shrouded by doom and gloom and open the eyes of those who have been stuck.
THE KEY OF DAVID & THE PSALMISTS DETOUR
However, the key you possess this year is not just the key of authority and access but the key of David. It’s the key of worship and priesthood that has been lost.
I feel this so strongly – there is a new sound of worship rising this year onwards that is going to break the church out of the glass ceiling of man’s ability and restore the raw cry of a generation that must have Jesus at all costs.
The radio edit can inspire and it can definitely encourage, but the Lord is looking for those who will put the emphasis back on the altar floor over the studio room. He is looking for those who will run into the secret place and not leave till they carry HIS SONGS and HIS MELODIES.
For there has been a subtle spoiling of the ointment in the camp of the Levite’s but God is bringing refining this year to distinguish between the musicians and the worshippers.
And He is calling the worshippers deeper and there will be a personal revival break out in worship communities around the world that are seekers of His heart. And they will begin to unveil the songs of their pursuit.
And they will untie and ungird the bondages around nations. There has been a chokehold around the church but this fresh sound will break it in a moment.
“Yes, I am handing the key of David to the Davids,” says the Lord. “But will they take it? Will they detour from the path to grab hold of it?”
Worshipping pioneers, know who labors among you. Find the other David’s, and hold out your hands.
For this year it is the WAR-ship that will steer the rudders of the armada of God in new and unknown waters. You are that rudder. Lead us well.
NEW TERRITORY IS FOR THE BOLD
The last thing I heard was “New territory awaits！” and sensed hesitation in the hearts of so many pioneers stepping into new and unknown areas.
There are mantles of courage coming upon those who are going to pioneer movements this year. This won’t be on you but you will need to launch. You will need to step out.
When you do you will feel the grace and strength of God all around you to take land and pursue what belongs to you without it taking you out.
I then saw someone sitting down doing the numbers or the pros and cons of going in this new direction and they kept saying “It doesn’t add up！”
And no it won’t add up at first, but will you miss out on your purpose while things don’t add up?
Will you forsake your calling for the sake of having things neat and tidy? Things will look messy for a while. They won’t make sense. Numbers won’t add up at first and people will not understand you.
BUT GOD IS ON THIS！ Step into your shoes pioneers！
This is a birthing season for the pioneers but If you don’t birth the new, you’ll either feel barren or you will feel like you missed the boat.
There will be an unusual call to risk and a faith to accompany it, so create margin for things you don’t have on your daily planner because God will surprise you with assignments and ideas not on your radar.
There is more favor and fruit on the raw and spontaneous than the managed and calculated. If you are looking and longing to see greater anointing and greater presence you will have to lean into what you cannot control but that which the Holy Spirit is beckoning you into.
You will accomplish more with less and experience more mountain top moments than any other season of your life – it will just cost you your plans and expectations.
It’s a changing of the guard and a changing of the garb year. Roles and uniforms are changing in the spirit. There are new mantles for the taking and a letting go of the expired capacity you once filled.
There are new roles and nameplates to be filled. You can’t stay in the same role and seat that you have in the last season. You have sensed this. You know there is more and you need to activate your new office by putting on that new jacket and owning it.
This is a “buy low” year. God will put his favor on certain avenues and expressions and it’s up to us to discern them and change our spiritual stock and focus.
This is our time. The enemy thinks he has the seats of power occupied but it’s take-back time for the church.
IT’S TIME TO RE-WRITE HISTORY TOO
As I am writing down all these thoughts I am suddenly aware of something so near to God’s heart for us in this hour – the re-writing of history.
The re-writing of the stories of those who have been through the darkest night season in the last few years and have felt like their greatest days were over.
The rewriting of the stories of those who were taken out and derailed, assassinated, and shipwrecked.
The rewriting of those who have been through the deepest heartache and don’t see a future anymore.
Let me say this clear – We wield the pen to take back the authorship from the enemy and his demonic plans.
We get to determine the pages going forward and we get to steer the plot and storyline of history.
With that said, it is burning on God’s heart to see the past storyline flipped and redeemed. It’s time you and I saw the years of devastation and robbery re-written and pioneers, you and I hold the pen.
We are in the season of the rewriting of the destiny of families, relationships, and marriages. That’s why things have come to the surface because God is doing an extreme makeover and a do-over.
“Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings” Isaiah 58:12
Pioneers, we will look through the mess and rubble and call forth the new day and new beginnings in the lives of those who have only seen pain.
We will see hope where in the natural there is none and we will write the songs and stories that tether us to that hope.
We will pioneer the reality of what God is saying where the media is only spewing lies and we will make it a reality.
Pioneers, grab your pen and wield it well, and let’s go！
