我們正處於一個運動熱潮的孕育期。那些在喧囂和人的力量與野心中製造和創造出來的東西正逐漸疲憊，但那些在隱密處和等候中孕育出來的東西卻突然不由自主地迸發出來。你不能決定發起一個運動，它們會揀選你，通常那些偶然發現它們的人甚至沒有嘗試開始它們。這是聖靈對人們的伏擊，他們的心經過火煉，潔淨，不再追逐昨日的復興、事工的金字塔計畫、無休止的特會巡迴，或自我啟發的基督徒大軍。來自天堂的運動正落在那些最不受歡迎的人和那些被"專業人士"認為不合格、悖逆、危險或愚蠢的人身上。然而，他們是神所選擇的人。他們不是帶著遊行隊伍來的，而是帶著同在感來的，他們以謙卑和不可否認的力量和榮耀出現，正在重新設定教會的標準。這些運動暴露了我們已經安於現狀的冷漠，以及我們每週日不斷從冰箱裡拿出的舊甘露。他們正在興起，引領教會進入新的運動，讓她....再動起來！

We are in the birthing of a movement boom. That which is manufactured and created in hustle and mans strength and ambition is growing tired but that which was birthed in the secret place and in the waiting is suddenly bursting forth involuntarily. You can’t decide to start a movement, they choose you, and normally those who stumble upon them haven’t even tried to begin them. It’s a Holy Ghost ambush on a people whose hearts are tried by fire and purified of chasing yesterdays revival, the ministry pyramid scheme, the endless conference circuit, or the self help Christian bandwagon. Movements from heaven are falling in the laps of the least expected and those who the “professionals” would deem unqualified, rebellious, dangerous, or foolish. Yet they are the ones God is choosing. They don’t come with a parade but the presence, and instead of fanfare they are emerging in humility and an undeniable power and glory that is resetting the bar for the church. These movements are exposing the apathy we have settled for and the old manna we keep pulling out of the freezer every Sunday. They are rising up to lead the church into the fresh move and get her….MOVING again!
