最近，我在禱告的時候，主對我說了這樣一句話："安頓"。我繼續禱告，然後主給了我一個先知性的異象，一個人在一大片空地上走出來。我可以看出這個人是個先鋒。然後我看到幾個家庭都在這塊土地上工作，建造房屋，種植花園，並為他們的牲畜建造圍欄和圍欄。然後主對我說，"建造，建造，建造"。

我繼續禱告，但我能感覺到主通過這個異象在對我說什麼。神在這個季節呼召許多人在祂安排的任何地理位置上定居和建立定居點，並在祂給他們的任何影響範圍內建造。這是一個讓那些具有開拓精神的人前去為神的國度定居和建造的季節。就像先鋒在邊疆時代所做的那樣，神正在尋找那些將進入未知領域並創建定居點的人，在那裡，神放在他們手中的任何東西都可以得到培養、建立和繁榮。

許多人渴望成為先鋒，在生活、人際關係、商業或事工上取得成功，但卻不願意工作。如果先鋒不願意工作，邊疆就仍然是邊疆！除非你願意付出你的努力、精力，並真正地把你的手放在神呼召你做的任何事情上，否則神賜給你的影響範圍不會受到影響。當先鋒來到一個地區時，他們會查看所有的自然資源，評估他們將要定居的土地，並進行策略性的建造。我們必須在屬靈上也這樣做。神正在尋找那些願意與祂一起進行策略建造的人，在這個時候成為神國的先鋒。

許多人從未經歷過神希望他們擁有的成長或增長，因為他們從未安頓下來。現在，我指的不是滿足於低於神為你準備的絕對最好的東西。我指的是在真正讓你的根在神和祂呼召你的任何社區或信徒團體中深深紮根的意義上的安頓。如果你從未對一個教會、一個企業、一段關係或神呼召你的任何事情保持承諾，那麼你將永遠看不到它被培養到結出果實的程度。耕耘我們的心、我們的地區和我們的命定的土地不是容易的工作。它需要謙卑，需要犧牲，需要承諾。主在這個季節尋找那些願意真正致力於艱苦工作的人，以看到祂的旨意在我們的地區、關係、企業和事工中得到成就。如果我們想看到成長或經驗的增加，我們必須願意安頓在神為我們安排的任何事情上，讓我們的根深深地紮下去，並變得穩固。

我相信主在這個季節對我們說的是，我們每個人都要全心全意地安頓下來，創造出神可以在我們的生活中和通過我們的生活進行建造的場所。這是一個建造的季節和時候，我們要做神呼召我們做的一切。不要感到疲倦。永遠記住，在國度裡，有種子、時候和收穫。你現在播下的種子，只要你繼續耕耘，就會結出果實，獲得增長。現在是安頓和建造的時候！

Recently, I was in a time of prayer and the Lord spoke this one word to me, “Settle.” I continued to pray and then the Lord gave me a prophetic vision of a man walking out in a huge open field. I could tell that this man was a pioneer. I then saw several families all working on this piece of land to build houses, plant gardens, and fences and pens for their livestock. Then the Lord spoke to me and said, “Build, build, build.”

I continued to pray but I could sense what the Lord was saying to me through this vision. God is calling many in this season to settle and create settlements in whatever geographical location He has placed them in and to build in whatever sphere of influence He has given to them. This is a season for those with a pioneering spirit to go forth in order to settle and build for the Kingdom of God. Just as the pioneers did in the frontier days, God is looking for those who will launch out into the unknown and create settlements where whatever He places in their hands can be cultivated, built up and flourish.

Many desire to be forerunners and successful in life, relationships, business or ministry but are unwilling to work. The frontier would still be the frontier if the pioneers had been unwilling to work! The sphere of influence God has given to you will not be impacted unless you are willing to put forth your effort, energy and really put your hands to whatever God is calling you to do without looking back. When pioneers would come into a region, they would look at all of the natural resources, assess the land they were going to settle on and strategically build. We must do the same in the spirit. God is looking for those that will strategically build with Him and be pioneers for the Kingdom of God in this hour.

Many people never experience the growth or increase God desires for them to have because they never settle. Now, I’m not referring to settling for less than the absolute best that God has for you. I’m referring to settling in the sense of really letting your roots grow deep in God and in whatever community or body of believers He calls you to. If you never stay committed to a church, a business, a relationship or whatever God is calling you to then you will never see it cultivated to the point of producing fruit. Tilling up the ground of our hearts, of our regions and of our destiny is not easy work. It requires humility, it requires sacrifice and it requires commitment. The Lord is looking for those in this season who are willing to really commit to the hard work it will take to see His will accomplished in our regions, relationships and businesses and ministries. We must be willing to settle into whatever God has for us, allow our roots to grow deep and become established if we want to see growth or experience increase.

I believe what the Lord is saying to us in this season is for each of us to become fully committed to settle and create settlements where God can build in and through our lives. This is a building season and time for us to do everything that God has called us to do. Don’t grow weary. Always remember that in the Kingdom there is seed, time and harvest. The seeds you plant now, will produce fruit and yield an increase if you just keep cultivating. It is time to settle and build!
