神揀選了世上愚拙的,叫有智慧的羞愧!

主一直在對我說,我們在祂裡面有權柄,我們的聲音是多麼強大。在過去幾週,我有兩個不可思議的經歷,使我受到鼓舞,我希望它們也能鼓勵你。

最近我有機會對歌利亞說話。這是我多年來遇到的歌利亞,因為我一直在為教育改革和我們的孩子而奮鬥。我做過幾次禱告,也說過反對這個歌利亞的話,但很多次都因為擔心說得太多會危及我的事業而沉默。不要再這樣了!我們要敬畏神,而不是敬畏人!我們要去祂帶領的地方。我們要去祂所帶領的地方,說祂所要求的。在聖靈的帶領下,我們在祂裡面所擁有的權柄是大的!我們要在祂的帶領下,去說祂所要求的。

當我去反對這個歌利亞時,我感到驚訝的是,當我進入房間時,這個機構的領導人明顯感到不舒服--事實上是害怕我。這是一件屬靈的事,因為他們的靈感覺到我在基督裡的權柄。我不需要對這個人說一個字就能產生影響。那是超自然的,不同於我所遇到的事。我做了大量的禱告,有人為我禱告,並在聖靈的帶領下與這個組織對抗他們不義的標準。這真是太神奇了!儘管我還沒有看到勝利,但我可以看到耶利哥的城牆正在慢慢倒下。

幾天後,我有幸為一位朋友禱告,她的親戚處於昏迷狀態。在我禱告的時候,神的火焰籠罩著我。我宣佈她會活著,不會死,奉耶穌的名。當我們允許聖靈流經我們,並允許祂使用我們時,會發生什麼事是令人驚訝的。第二天,我的朋友告訴我,她的親戚醒過來了,最近出院了。祂是一位創造奇蹟的神。

我覺得主想讓我分享這個,以鼓勵你,耶穌是不尊重人的。祂說,你可以做所有祂做過的事情,甚至更多,奉耶穌的名。我承認今年對我來說是非常困難的一年,我有時會陷入嚴重的灰心。我很驚訝,神能以這種方式使用我。祂真的揀選了世上愚拙的,叫有智慧的羞愧!這讓我的信心大增。這增加了我的信心,我希望對你也是如此。我相信在未來的日子裡,我們將看到我們生命中最偉大的奇蹟!我相信,在未來的日子裡,我們將看到我們生命中最偉大的奇蹟。在過去幾年中,我們所經歷的拉伸和搖晃是為了讓我們做好準備。它一直是痛苦的,我們已經到了崩潰的地步,但是神在祂的憐憫中不得不取出渣滓,以便使我們成為可以被祂使用的純潔器皿。



HE USES THE WEAK THINGS TO CONFOUND THE WISE!
HEATHER POUNDSTONE, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

The Lord has been speaking to me about the authority we have in Him and how powerful our voices are. I have had two incredible experiences in the past few weeks that have encouraged me, and I hope they'll encourage you as well.

I recently had the opportunity to speak against a Goliath. This is a Goliath I have encountered for many years as I have fought for education reform and for our kids. I have done several prayer walks and have spoken against this Goliath, but have many times been silenced out of fear of jeopardizing my career if I said too much. No more! We are to fear God, not man! We are to go where He leads us and speak what He asks us to. The authority we have in Him, when led by the Holy Spirit, is huge!

When I went to speak against this Goliath, I was amazed that one of the leaders of this institution was visibly uncomfortable when I came into the room - fearful of me, in fact. It was a spiritual thing, as their spirit sensed the authority I carry in Christ. I did not have to say one word to this person to have an impact. It was supernatural and unlike anything I have ever encountered. I had prayed extensively, had people praying for me, and was led by the Holy Spirit to confront this organization for their unrighteous standards. It was amazing! Even though I haven't seen the victory yet, I can see the walls of Jericho slowly deteriorating.

A few days later, I had the privilege of praying for a friend whose relative was in a coma. As I prayed, the fire of God came over me. I declared that she would live and not die, in the name of Jesus! It is amazing what can happen when we allow the Holy Spirit to flow through us and we allow Him to use us. The next day, my friend informed me that her relative woke up and recently got out of the hospital. He is a God of miracles!

I felt the Lord wanted me to share this to encourage you that Jesus is no respecter of persons. He says that you can do all the things that He did and more, in the name of Jesus. I confess that this has been a very difficult year for me, and I have fallen into major discouragement at times. I am amazed that God could use me in this way. He truly uses the weak things of the world to confound the wise! It has increased my faith, and I hope it does for you as well. I believe that in the coming days, we will see the greatest miracles of our lives! The stretching and shaking we have experienced in the past few years have been to prepare us. It has been painful and we have been at our breaking point, but God in His mercy had to take out the dross in order to make us into pure vessels to be used by Him.
