二十五年前，我經歷了一個個人的 "靈魂黑夜"，說實話，我不知道自己是否能活下來。這是我所面臨的最困難的事情。2000年，我開始從這場黑暗中醒來，看到黎明的曙光從我生命的地平線上探出。
當時，我們教會的朋友邀請我參加在州外的特會；他們覺得這對我的靈有好處。說實話，我並不想去，但是他們非常堅持，所以我同意一起去。我對這次特會沒有期待，因為我主要是為了讓邀請我的朋友們高興。
我們到達這特會（在俄勒岡州格蘭茲帕斯的一個巨大的戶外帳篷裡舉行）時，正值第一晚的敬拜開始。我們從加州長途跋涉而來，都很疲憊。我們進入帳篷，坐在後排，因為那裡已經坐滿了人。當敬拜樂團預備開始時，所有人都站了起來。因為我很矮，我看不清楚舞臺，但很高興能坐在後排，因為我太累了。
上帝之愛的衝擊波
然後，當吉他的第一聲弦響起，開始敬拜時，我仿佛被一道閃電擊中。當一股看不見的屬靈力量以我從未有過的力量擊中我的身體、魂和靈時，我跌倒在地。隨即，我的身體開始顫抖，我被神有形的同在所淹沒。我從來沒有以這種方式感受到祂的同在或祂的力量。我正在經歷我只能描述為祂的愛、同在和力量的衝擊波，一次又一次。
這種情況持續了相當長的一段時間。當我說 "相當長的一段時間"時，我的意思是四十天！不是偶爾的三十天，而是一天二十四小時的三十天。我同時經歷了深刻的醫治、覺醒和分賜。我可以在我身體的細胞中，以及在我的魂和靈中，感受到祂實實在在的同在。隨著這種情況的發生，我開始以我從未夢想過的方式愛上了祂。在那三十天裡，一切都變得比我所要求或想像的還要多。
我與你分享這個故事，因為這個意外的經歷是在我生命中最黑暗的時期之後立即發生的。我沒有要求它，也沒有尋找 "經驗"；它就像來自天堂的風，被派來讓我重生，把我帶入新的一天。
渴望黎明之光的出現
現在，二十三年過去了，你們中的許多人已經處於漫長而黑暗的季節，你們只是單純地感到疲倦。你們在信心和毅力中繼續前進，知道神是信實的、好的。但是，你們渴望看到黎明之光的出現。
我有一種感覺，就像我在2000年的那個晚上一樣，你們中的許多人將會在神的聖靈像大風一樣湧向你們的時候被嚇一跳。當它到來時，你將永遠改變和復興。
自從那三十天的轉變之後，我就再也沒有變過了。當祂的同在、愛和能力像天上的雨一樣傾倒在我身上時，每一個渴望都得到了滿足。那次經歷的果子今天在我的生活中仍然可見。
"神能照著運行在我們心裡的大力充充足足的成就一切，超過我們所求所想的。但願他在教會中，並在基督耶穌裡，得著榮耀，直到世世代代，永永遠遠。阿們！" (以弗所書3:20-21)
當祂帶這股強大的、奔騰的風來時，一切和所有人都會改變。它變得不可估量，真正超過了我們所能想像甚至是要求的一切。祂的風吹走了黑暗，吹來了大雨滂沱的雲彩。
大能的風來了！
讓希望升起，因為，就像當以利亞的僕人看到人的手掌大小的小雲，以及當以利亞宣佈長期乾旱後的豐沛雨水即將到來時，我正經歷著溫柔的微風，覺得要向你們宣佈，"一股大能的、奔騰的風即將到來！"
列王記上18:45說："......狂風大作，下起大雨......"(當代譯本) 這不僅結束了長期的乾旱，而且使土地再次開花結果。在我的靈中，我看到在這個一直處於屬靈乾旱的世界中出現了一朵小雲。而且我感覺到在一個大煉淨的時刻的炎熱中開始吹起一股清涼的微風。
我想說："一股大風即將到來，將以大湧流的方式吹來！"我預言大能的、令人振奮的風將會吹來。我預言，一股強大的、奔騰的風很快就會到來，將迎來神的靈澆灌的大雨。乾旱將結束，青草將出現，收穫將開始，黑暗將逃離。"
復興的黎明前往往是最黑暗的。帶著盼望，和我一起預言這場偉大的傾盆倒。
The Dawn of Revival: A Heavy Wind Is Beginning to Blow!
Kathi Pelton, Portland, Oregon
Feb 26, 2023
Twenty-five years ago, I went through a personal "dark night of the soul" that I honestly did not know if I would be able to survive. It was the hardest thing that I had ever faced. In 2000, I was beginning to awaken from this darkness to see the light of dawn peeking over the horizon of my life.
At that time, some friends from our church asked me to join them at a conference out of state; they felt that it would be good for my heart. Honestly, I did not want to go but they were very persistent, so I agreed to make the trip with them. I had no expectations about this conference since I was mainly going to make my friends who had invited me happy.
We arrived at this conference (which was being held in a massive outdoor tent in Grants Pass, Oregon) just before the first night's worship was beginning. We were all tired from the long drive from California. We entered the tent and sat in the back row because the place was filled to capacity. As the worship band prepared to begin, everyone stood up. Because I'm very short, I couldn't see the stage very well but was happy to be in the back row since I was so tired.
Shock Waves of God's Love
Then, as the first strum of the guitar rang out to begin worship, it was as if I was hit with a lightning bolt. I hit the ground as an unseen spiritual force hit my body, soul and spirit with power that I had never known. Immediately, my body began shaking and I was flooded with the tangible presence of God. I had never felt His presence or His power in that way. I was experiencing what I could only describe as shock waves of His love, presence and power over and over again.
This went on for quite some time! When I say "quite some time," what I mean to say is for THIRTY DAYS! Not occasionally for thirty days, but twenty-four hours a day for thirty days. I was experiencing deep healing, awakening and impartation all at the same time. I could feel His tangible presence in the very cells of my body, as well as in my soul and spirit. As this occurred, I began to fall in love with Him in ways I'd never dreamed of. Everything became more than I could have ever asked or imagined during those thirty days.
I am sharing this story with you because this unexpected experience came immediately after the darkest time in my life. I didn't ask for it or look for an "experience"; it just came like a wind from Heaven that was sent to revive me and to usher me into a new day.
Longing for the Light of Dawn to Appear
Now, twenty-three years later, many of you have been in a long and dark season where you are just plain weary. You have continued in faith and perseverance, knowing that God is faithful and good. But, you long to see the light of dawn appear.
I have a sense that, just like that evening for me back in the year 2000, many of you will be caught by surprise as an outpouring of the Spirit of God comes upon you like a mighty, rushing wind. When it comes, you will be forever changed and revived.
I have never been the same since those thirty days of transformation. Every longing was fulfilled as His presence, love and power poured into me like rain from Heaven. The fruit of that experience is still visible in my life today.
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." (Ephesians 3:20-21)
When He comes with this mighty, rushing wind, everything and everyone changes. It becomes immeasurable and truly exceeds anything we could ever imagine or even ask for. His wind blows away the darkness and blows in the clouds that are heavy with rain.
A Mighty Wind Is Coming!
Let hope arise because, just like when Elijah's servant saw the small cloud the size of a man's hand, and when Elijah announced that an abundance of rain was coming after a long drought, I am experiencing a gentle breeze and feel to announce to you, "A mighty, rushing wind is coming!"
1 Kings 18:45 says, "...A heavy wind brought a terrific rainstorm..." This not only ended the long drought but caused the land to bear fruit once again. I see, in my spirit, a small cloud appearing amid a world that has been in a spiritual drought. And I feel a cool, refreshing breeze beginning to blow in the heat of a time of great refinement.
I want to say, "A heavy wind is coming that will blow in a great outpouring! I prophesy a mighty, rushing wind is quickly coming that will usher in a heavy rain of the outpouring of the Spirit of God. The drought will end, the grass will appear, the harvest will begin and darkness will flee."
It is often darkest before the dawn of revival. Take hope and prophesy this great outpouring with me.
