最近,當我在敬拜主的時候,我進入了異象,我看到我在黑暗和非常深的山谷裡。當時是晚上,山谷被高大的山峰包圍。在每座山的頂端,我都能看到人的輪廓,並本能地知道他們是敵人。然後我在這一切之上,看到我實際上坐在一張桌子旁,被一團金色的榮耀所覆蓋;它在黑暗中發光發亮。當我窺視這榮耀時,我看到桌子上擺著品質最好的茂盛和奢侈的擺設,充滿了豐富的美味。

桌子已經擺好

我從聖靈那裡聽到:"桌子已經擺好了"。當我尋求主並查考聖經時,聖靈告訴我,有三張桌子已經擺好,都與戰勝我們的敵人有關。在許多層面上都有應用。它是個人的--包括內部和外部的--和團體的( corporate)。它也涉及到世界上國家和國際層面上發生的事情。

主給我深刻的印象是,我們必須確保我們吃的是真理的桌子,而不是敵人帶來的欺騙的桌子。我聽到:"當我們從欺騙的桌子上吃東西時,我們就離開保護的地方。"

三張桌子是:

1)在我們敵人面前的桌子

詩篇23篇中的桌子是為我們準備的,當我們正確地認識和宣佈神的身份時,當我們在敵人面前將我們的信任放在祂身上時,我們就可以吃到。

*譯注:和合本在詩篇23篇桌子翻譯為宴席。

2)盟約和新身份的桌子

這是撒母耳記下9:11-13中的國王之桌,根據盟約是我們的,我們在這裡分食並接受我們的新身份。

3) 神聖戰略的桌子

這是在以斯帖記5-6中的桌子,在那裡我們通過神聖的策略準備,並使敵人的邪惡計畫失敗。

在我們的敵人面前的桌子

"在我敵人面前,你為我擺設筵席;你用油膏了我的頭,使我的福杯滿溢。"(詩篇23:5)

在我們的敵人面前,有一張桌子(宴席)擺在我們面前,上面有神的同在,很是豐盛。它充滿了我們需要分享的一切,以獲得勝利、滿足和溢出的恩膏。現在是黑暗的日子,但未來也有充滿敬畏和榮耀的日子。我們對主的信念和信任將決定我們的看法和經歷。

第1-4節揭示了一個順序,給大衛帶來了關於為他擺設的桌子的啟示。大衛宣佈他對主的信心,並在見證主的時候講述了主的神性的多個方面。

1. 祂是羊群的大牧人,帶領、保護和供應我們。我們不會有任何缺乏!

2. 祂是主宰者,命令我們的腳步進入祂的安息和良善。

3. 祂是我們靈魂的恢復者。每一個受傷的地方,祂都會恢復並使之完整。祂為祂的名帶領我們進入祂的公義,因為我們是祂的人,被祂的名所召。

4. 祂本身就是我們的公義。我們可以自信地站在邪惡面前,因為祂是我們的盾牌,我們的旗幟,我們的防禦;祂是我們在需要時永遠的説明。

5. 即使在死陰幽谷中,恐懼試圖統治和支配我們的心,祂總是與我們同在。當我們看到祂的棍和杖時,就不會被恐懼支配。棍子指的是祂對所有被造物的權柄! 杖說的是支持--一根手杖。當我們倚靠祂時,沒有什麼能傷害我們,因為萬物都服從於祂!祂已經為我們準備好了桌子,讓我們可以坐下。

祂已經擺設好了我們在敵人中間(被敵人包圍)要吃的桌子。事實上,擺設工作就是爭戰。在Strong's Concordance中,這節經文中的 "擺設"一詞是指 "整頓"、"擺開陣勢 "和 "排列"。我們的敵人就是神的敵人,當我們對神的身份進行宣稱時,敵人就無法觸及我們,因為有更大的榮耀籠罩著我們。就像主在白天提供雲彩,在晚上提供火焰一樣,我向你們宣告,當你們信靠並住在祂的榮耀同在時,你們被雲彩和火焰所覆蓋和保護。

我向你們宣告,你們是被打破一切枷鎖的油所膏。就像牧羊人(在自然界中)用油塗抹羊的頭,使蒼蠅遠離它們一樣,我宣告每一個惱人的分心都被主的膏油所驅除。在祂的膏油中,分心和刺激物無法立足!

我說超自然的智慧和分辨力,使你能保持你的燈充滿油! 我宣告,在這個認識和信靠主的地方,你的福杯滿溢,永遠不會乾涸。我向你宣告,祂的恩惠和憐憫將在你一生中跟隨你,你將永遠住在祂的殿中,因為你抓住了祂是誰的真理!

聖約之桌子和新身份

如果你重生了,你就是一個新造的人,有權在今生分得天上和自然的祝福!大衛與掃羅王的兒子約拿單立約。大衛與掃羅王的兒子約拿單有過約定。在大衛成為國王後,掃羅和約拿單都已去世,大衛問道:"......大衛問說:掃羅家還有剩下的人沒有?我要因約拿單的緣故向他施恩。"(撒母耳記下9:1,KJV)。

米非波設是唯一剩下的人,因為他雙腳瘸了,所以過著乞丐的生活。他住在羅底巴(Lo Debar),意思是 "沒有草場"。那是一個沒有生命的乾燥的地方,與詩篇23篇中所說的綠色草場形成對比。大衛把米非波設帶到家裡,與他同桌吃飯。他把曾經屬於掃羅的所有土地歸還給米非波設。米非波設的意思是 "消除羞恥的人"。主希望你明白祂所創造的你是誰!

通過盟約和新的生命,我宣告羞恥感被打碎了!我宣告,所有因盟約而屬於你的東西都將恢復到你和你的血脈中,奉耶穌的名!你曾經是死的,現在是活的。

你們這些曾經死了的人,現在在神面前活了過來,通過耶穌基督流下的血,恢復了神所賜的盟約的祝福 我們就像米非波設一樣,被罪弄殘了,但現在卻與基督共同繼承了產業。有一個由耶穌為你準備的地方,一個有許多房屋的地方(見約翰福音14:2)。

在古希臘語中,房屋的意思是 "居住的地方"!所有已經為你準備好行走的東西--甚至在世界之前就已經定下的--都可以為你所用。王的孩子,命定之桌已經為你擺好。通過基督,王國的權利和特權是你的。你已被救贖。舊的已經死了,埋葬了。你已經與基督同坐在天上了!看到自己在這個地方,並在自然界中從這個地方開始生活,帶著信心、希望和期待!你所需要的一切都會得到滿足。你所需要的一切都將得到滿足!

"耶穌對他說,你若能信,信的人凡事都能做"。(馬可福音9:23)

"所以我告訴你們,你們禱告的時候,無論想要什麼東西,只要信得過,就必得著。"(馬可福音11:24)

"你們倒要尋求神的國,這些東西都要加給你們了。小群人,不要怕,因為你們的父喜歡把國賜給你們"。(路加福音12:31-32)

神聖戰略的桌子

有一張已經為神的敵人準備好的桌子。自古以來--從寫書的時候起,它就已經建立了。神設立了以斯帖,讓她接受國王的寵信權杖,扭轉哈曼毀滅神的子民的計畫。

今天,神正在激勵那些認識祂的權柄和恩寵的男人和女人。知道你可以進入恩典的寶座--你有國王的耳朵!你可以向國王求助。耶穌說,我們若奉祂的名求什麼,就必成就。

我聽到主說,祂正在興起那些無畏的、無懼的、堅決的、大膽的、勇敢的和充滿信心的人。

祂說,"我已經把國度的鑰匙交給你們。現在是神聖回歸的時候;到更高的地方來,接受我的指示。我會告訴你什麼是捆綁和釋放;現在是綑綁的時候。敵人已經玩過頭了。我的服事天使將聽到我的命令。

"正如我給你的話語,你捆綁和釋放。你有我的權柄--建立我的治理!觀察並看到敵人的計畫失效--神聖的正義帶來了轉機。

"我的天使正在行動,把稗子和麥子分開。現在不是在失敗中回頭的時候!我將清除那些在傲慢和自豪中行動的人,並揭示和建立那些站在我這邊的人!

"許多人要出來,因為我正在打開那些被謊言束縛的人的眼睛。我的敵人滅亡的桌子已經擺好了!"


The Tables Are Being Set
Alane Haynes, San Diego, CA
Aug 19, 2022

Recently, as I was worshiping the Lord, I went into a vision where I could see that I was in a dark and very deep valley. It was nighttime, and the valley was surrounded by tall mountains. On the top of each mountain, I could see the outlines of men and instinctively knew they were enemies. Then I was above all of it and saw that I was actually seated at a table, covered in a cloud of golden glory; it was glowing and luminous in the midst of the darkness. As I peered into the glory, I saw that the table was furnished with a lush and extravagant setting of the finest quality and filled with an abundance of delights.

The Table Is Set

I heard by the Spirit, "The table is set." As I sought the Lord and examined the Scriptures, Holy Spirit spoke to me that there are three tables set, and all have to do with overcoming our enemies. There is application on many levels. It's personal – both internal and external – and corporate. It also deals with things happening on a national and international level in the world.

The Lord impressed upon me that it is imperative that we ensure we are eating from the tables of truth and not the tables of deception which the enemy brings. I heard, "When we eat from the tables of deception, we move out from the place of protection."

The three tables are:

1) The Table in the Presence of Our Enemies

The table in Psalm 23 is prepared for us to partake of as we rightly recognize and declare God's identity, and as we place our trust in Him while in the presence of our enemies.

2) The Table of Covenant and New Identity

This is the King's table in 2 Samuel 9:11-13, which is ours by covenant, and where we partake of and embrace our new identity.

3) The Table of Divine Strategy

This is the table in Esther 5-6, where we prepare, through divine strategy, and bring about the demise of the enemy's wicked plans.

The Table in the Presence of Our Enemies

"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over." (Psalm 23:5, KJV)

There is a table set before us in the presence of our enemies that is lavish with the presence of God. It's full of all we need to partake of to be victorious, satisfied and overflowing with anointing. These are dark days, but there are also days ahead that will be full of awe and glory. Our belief and trust in the Lord will determine our perception and our experience.

Verses 1-4 reveal an order that brings revelation to David regarding the table prepared for him. David declares his faith in the Lord and recounts multiple aspects of the Lord's divinity as he testifies of Him. (Photo via Unsplash)

1. He is the Great Shepherd of the sheep, leading, protecting and providing for us. We will have no lack!
2. He is the Sovereign One, ordering our steps into His rest and goodness.
3. He is the Restorer of our souls. Every place of wounding He restores and makes whole. He leads us into His righteousness for His name's sake, because we are His, called by His name.
4. He Himself is our righteousness. We can stand in confidence in the face of evil, as He is our shield, our banner, our defense; He is our ever-present help in times of need.

5. Even in the valley of the shadow of death, where fear tries to rule and reign over our hearts, He is always with us. Fear will not rule when we perceive His rod and staff. Rod speaks of His authority over all that is created! Staff speaks of support – a walking stick. When we lean into Him, nothing can harm us, for all things are subject to Him!

He has already prepared the table that we will partake of in the midst of (surrounded by) our enemies. In fact, the preparation is warfare. In Strong's Concordance, the word "prepare" in this verse means to "put in order," "set the battle" and "array." Our enemies are God's enemies, and when we make declarations about who He is, the enemy cannot touch us, for there is a greater glory that encompasses us. Even as the Lord provided the cloud by day and the fire by night, I declare to you that you are covered and protected by the cloud and fire in the presence of His glory as you trust and abide in Him.

I declare unto you that you are anointed with oil that breaks every yoke of bondage! Even as shepherds (in the natural) anoint the sheep's head with oil to keep the flies from them, I declare that every irritating distraction is being repelled by the anointing of the Lord. In His anointing, distractions and irritants cannot take hold!

I speak a supernatural wisdom and discernment, enabling you to keep your lamp full of oil! I declare that your cup will overflow and never run dry in this place of knowing and trusting the Lord. I declare unto you that His goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life and you will dwell in His house forever, as you lay hold of the truth of who He is!

The Table of Covenant and New Identity

If you are born again, you are a new creature and have the right to partake of heavenly and natural blessings in this life! David had a covenant with King Saul's son, Jonathan. After David became king and Saul and Jonathan were both deceased, David asked, "...Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?" (2 Samuel 9:1, KJV).

Mephibosheth was the only one left, living a beggar's life because he was lame in both feet. He lived in Lo Debar, which means "no pasture." It was a dry place with no life, contrasted with the green pastures spoken of in Psalm 23. David brought Mephibosheth into his household to eat at his table. He restored to him all the lands that were once Saul's, and therefore, Mephibosheth's. Mephibosheth means "dispeller of shame." The Lord wants you to understand who He has created you to be!

Through covenant and new life, I declare that shame is shattered! I decree, all that is yours by right of covenant will be restored to you and your bloodline, in Jesus' name!

You who were once dead are now alive unto God, restored to the blessings of the covenant given by God through the shed Blood of Jesus Christ! We were as Mephibosheth, crippled by sin, yet now joint heirs with Christ. There is a place prepared for you by Jesus, a place of many mansions (see John 14:2). (Photo via Unsplash)

In ancient Greek, mansion means "dwelling place"! All that has been prepared for you to walk in – ordained even before the world – is available to you. The table of destiny is set for you, child of the King. Kingdom rights and privileges are yours through Christ. You are redeemed. The old is dead and buried. You are seated in the heavenlies with Christ! See yourself in this place and live from this place in the natural, with faith, hope and expectation! All that you have need of shall be provided!

"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." (Mark 9:23, KJV)

"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." (Mark 11:24, KJV)

"But rather seek ye the Kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom." (Luke 12:31-32, KJV)

The Table of Divine Strategy

There is a table that is already set for the enemies of God. It has been established since the days of old – from the time when the books were written. God set up Esther to receive the scepter of favor from the king and turn the tables on Haman's plans to destroy God's people.

God is stirring up men and women today who recognize His authority and favor. Recognize that you have access to the throne of grace – you have the ear of the King! Jesus said that if we ask anything in His name, it shall be done.

I hear the Lord saying that He is raising up those who are dauntless, fearless, resolute, bold, courageous and full of faith.

He says, "I have given you the keys to the Kingdom. It is time for divine induction; come up higher and receive My instruction. I will show you what to bind and loose; it is time to tighten the noose. The enemy has overplayed his hand. My ministering angels will hear My commands.

"Bind and loose as I give you utterance. You have My authority – establish My governance! Watch and see the plans of the enemy disabled – divine justice bringing a turning of tables.

"My angels are moving, separating the tares from the wheat. It is not time to turn back in defeat! I will remove those moving in arrogance and pride, and reveal and establish those who are on My side!

"Many shall come forth, for I am opening the eyes of those who have been bound by lies. The table is set for My enemy's demise!"
