2014將發生什麼?
瑞克‧萊汀斯牧師,耶路撒冷24小時7讚美的帳幕

我聽到主在今年以一種特別的方式向我強調4段經文,我相信祂要傳達的是,祂將以某種方式做震動和喚醒的工作:

1. 馬可福音10:14讓小孩子到我這裡來,不要禁止他們,因為在 神國的,正是這樣的人。”我確信在今年,我們將要看見一個極大的聖靈澆灌開始臨到小孩子身上(年齡在2-10歲)。他們(小孩子)會開始發預言,是超過他們這個年齡自然的能力所能理解的。他們會在半夜被主叫醒,就如孩童撒母耳一樣。他們會接收到重要的異象和異夢,不光指引他們生命的方向,還包括成年人的方向。他們會以令人驚奇的方式傳講知識的言語、治病和行神蹟。最重要的是,我們(成年人)不要打壓這些孩子,而是溫柔地引導主在這些孩子當中的作為。我們必須禱告,我們能幫助生出、並保護聖靈在小孩子身上的這一波作為。

2.寶座的周圍、又有二十四個座位、其上坐著二十四位長老、身穿白衣、頭上戴著金冠冕(啟示錄4:4)。正如琴與爐(啟示錄5:8)在最近15年來被重點強調一樣,今年對於代禱運動是否能夠興起對另外兩點的重視是非常關鍵的一年,這兩點即是對於在寶座前的長老們的描繪:他們自己的座位及冠冕。對治理性代禱操練的認識將會不斷提升。 

與裡斯ž豪厄爾斯相似,許多代禱者不會花大多精力去對新聞中所報導的內容做出回應禱告,但當他們學習進入神寶座前的議事房時,將會接收到具體的異象和教導。他們將向地上宣告從祂寶座發出的諭旨,並將越來越準確和具體,也將帶有更大的權柄。某些代禱者將被他們所在城市或國家的更高級別的政府機構所認可,政府機構將會在安全問題及做出決策時尋求他們的勸誡。

3.若一國自相紛爭,那國就站立不住;若一家自相紛爭,那家就站立不住;若撒旦自相攻打紛爭,他就站立不住,必要滅亡(馬可福音3:24-26)。我相信這是一個禱告運動即將使用撒旦經常用來對付教會的工具——紛爭——反過來對付撒旦的季節。當我們學習去宣告紛爭將臨到伊斯蘭的國和家時,這將非常真實。

這是一個宣告伊斯蘭教背後的魔鬼權勢紛爭增加的季節,特別是當遜尼派和什葉派處理彼此不斷加深的紛爭時,他們的行動能從以色列轉移。我感覺到耶和華對我說“我必震動一切可以震動的,伊斯蘭教可以被震動。自相紛爭的家站立不住,伊斯蘭的國可以被分裂。(基督)在伊斯蘭當中的豐收可以被收取。”

在印尼爆發的大豐收(伴隨著它們自身的巨大震動)將逐漸向西移動,列國在耶和華的手前像多米諾骨牌一樣紛紛倒下。

期待在中東,特別是在埃及、土耳其、伊朗和庫爾德人中間持續增長的震動和劇變。期待耶和華超自然的介入保護以色列,進一步揭露伊斯蘭的謊言。隨著震動變得越來越強烈,伊斯蘭的真面目將會向那些尋求真相的曝露顯明。整個中東地區將會有一個快速的禱告殿運動,禱告他們的國家透過這些震動成為豐收的地方。這些收穫大部分將從兒童和青少年中間開始。在有關敘利亞的異象中,我看到它像森林火災後的現場,大多是灰燼。但幼苗在到處萌芽生長,天使在傾倒“奇蹟生長”的肥料在這些幼小的樹苗上,使他們迅速成長為“公義的橡樹”。

與此相關的將是一個巨大的“學生志願福音運動”,動員遠東的年輕人到中亞及中東地區建立禱告殿,並幫忙收割。遠東地區的職場“使徒”們將釋放智慧的建議,並為這個運動提供簽證和資金的幫助。

4.樹若被砍下,還可指望發芽,嫩枝生長不息,其雖然衰老在地裡,幹也死在土中;及至得了水氣,還要發芽,又長枝條,像新栽的樹一樣。”(約伯記14:7-9)。某些方面我們認為已經沒有希望,但禱告和敬拜會澆灌神國度古老的根,這些古老的根將會結出新的生命枝條。

我相信特別在以色列,中東,地中海沿岸,法國和美國的東岸將會看到這個現象。

我剛剛在法國給一個關於禱告塔的國家性研討會作演講。這個國家已經處在黑暗中很長一段時間了,但我很被這個國家迅速建立起許多禱告塔的見證,和聖靈以先知性的方式在小孩身上運行的報導所鼓勵。我已去那裡宣告過,這是一個神要從被澆灌的孩子身上的根裡帶出新枝條的時代。這些根早在17世紀晚期胡格諾派教教徒(Huguenots)時就已經出現過,但是大部分的胡格諾派教徒都被殺害了,或者是因面臨嚴厲的迫害而被迫逃離。看到神已經從這些古老的根裡帶出新的枝條的報導,我很被鼓勵和感動。

同樣的,在地中海周圍許多被認為是已經毫無希望的地方,我和其他人都看到了火焰的異象。

在美國的東岸也有新的攪動(在13個原始殖民地)。我最近有一個異象,是一隻鷹盤旋在費城上空,然後俯衝下來拉出一條纏繞13個原始殖民地的大蛇。這條蛇的頭和嘴在麻塞諸塞州的上面。這條大蛇把一代的年輕人吞進了它的腹中,這些年輕人被極深的黑暗所轄制。我知道這條蛇就是“希臘的魔君”,是世俗人文主義的靈,它特別吞噬了美國東北部在常春藤盟校上學的年輕領袖們。當代禱者們呼喊的時候,這隻鷹用它的爪子抓住這條大蛇,舉起來並將它撕裂,這年輕的一代就從它腹中的牢籠得釋放,並降落在東岸成為黑暗中的一個個火焰點。如果得到保護和父親正確的引導,我看到這些火焰點很有潛力發展成為“第三次大覺醒”。同時,我們也可以預期來自於世俗人文主義對基督徒的強烈迫害將會增加,但是只要我們堅持下去,這只會在神這波新的運動中促成極大的增長。

願我們在這個季節聽到神的旨意並加強代禱,為了促使小孩子被更多的澆灌;為了在治理性的代禱中帶有更大的權柄;為了以色列得到保護,在穆斯林中有大的收割;以及為了從舊有的根中能生出新的和能結滿果實的枝條來。

What Lies Ahead for 2014?
By Rick Ridings, Succat Hallel 24/7 in Jerusalem

There are four Scriptures I hear the Lord highlighting in a special way this year to express some ways in which I believe He will be both shaking and awakening:

1.  “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these” (Mark 10:14).  I believe this year we will see the beginning of a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit on very small children (ages 2-10).   They will be prophesying things that are beyond their natural ability to understand at that age.  They will be awakened in the middle of the night to hear the Lord as did the child Samuel.  They will receive key visions and dreams that will bring direction not only for their own lives, but for adults.  They will operate in a surprising way in words of knowledge, healing and miracles.  It is important that we do not quench, but gently pastor this move of the Lord among children.  We must pray to help give birth to, and to protect, this move of the Holy Spirit upon children.

2.  “Surrounding the throne were twenty-four elders..  They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads” (Rev. 4:4).  Even as the “Harp and Bowl” (Rev. 5:8) was greatly emphasized in these past fifteen years, so this year will be very key in the prayer movement for the raising up of an emphasis upon the other two things that characterize the elders around The Throne: their own thrones and crowns.  There will be an increased understanding of the exercise of governmental intercession.

Similar to Rees Howells, many intercessors will not pray so much in reaction to what is reported in the news, but will receive detailed visions and instructions as they learn to enter into the council room before the Lord’s Throne.   They will proclaim His Throne-room decrees upon the earth with increasing accuracy, detail, and authority.  Certain intercessors will be recognized by high governmental authorities in their city or nation, who will seek their counsel concerning security issues and decisions.

3.  “”If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.  If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.  And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come” (Mark 3:24-26).  I believe this is a season where the prayer movement will use against Satan the tool he has so often used against the Church: division.  This will be especially true as we learn to proclaim division upon the nation and house of Islam.

This is a season for proclaiming increased division between the demonic powers behind Islam, especially that the Sunni and Shiite movements be distracted from Israel, as they act upon their deepening divisions.  I felt the Lord spoke to me that “I will shake everything that can be shaken, and Islam can be shaken.  A house divided against itself cannot stand, and the nation of Islam can be divided.  The harvest from Islam can be harvested.”

The great harvest that is exploding in Indonesia (and which followed their own great shakings) will gradually move westward, with nations falling like dominoes before the hand of the Lord.

Look for increased shakings and upheaval in the Middle East, especially in Egypt, Turkey, Iran, and among the Kurdish people.   Look for the Lord to supernaturally intervene to protect Israel, further exposing the lies of Islam.  As the shakings become increasingly violent, the true face of Islam will be exposed for those seeking truth to see.  There will be a quick movement of houses of prayer across the Middle East to pray their nations through these shakings into a place of harvest.  Much of this harvest will start amongst children and youth.  In a vision concerning Syria, I saw it like the scene after a forest fire, mostly ashes.  But young seedling were springing up everywhere, and angels were pouring “Miracle Grow” fertilizer on these young trees to cause them to quickly grow into “oaks of righteousness”. 

Tied in with this will be a huge “Student Volunteer Missions Movement” mobilizing young adults from the Far East into Central Asia, and the Middle East to establish houses of prayer, and to help reap the harvest.  Market place “apostles” from the Far East will release wise counsel, and help with visas and finances into this movement.

4.  “At least here is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and it new shoots will not fail.  Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put for shoots like a plant” (Job 14:7-9).  In some places we have thought beyond hope, prayer and worship will water ancient roots of the Kingdom of God, which will send for new branches of life.

I believe this will be especially seen in Israel, in the Middle East, around the Mediterranean, in France, and on the East Coast of the United States.   

I just spoke for a national seminar on houses of prayer in France.  This nation has been so dark for so long, but I was greatly encouraged by the testimonies of many houses of prayer quickly being planted there, and by many reports of the Holy Spirit moving upon small children in prophetic ways.  I had gone there to proclaim that this is a time where the Lord is going to bring new branches from the roots of an outpouring upon children that occurred during the time of the Huguenots in the late 1600s, but most of the Huguenots were killed or forced to flee in the face of severe persecution.   I was so encouraged by reports of how the Lord is already bringing forth new branches from those old roots.

In a similar fashion, I (and others) have had visions of flames of fire around the Mediterranean in areas many had thought of as without hope.

There is a new stirring as well on the East Coast of the United States (in the thirteen original Colonies).  I recently had a vision of an eagle circling over Philadelphia, who then swooped down to pull out a serpent which had been laced through thirteen original Colonies, and whose head and mouth were over Massachusetts.  This serpent had swallowed a generation of young people into its belly, where they were trapped in deep darkness.  I understood this serpent to be the sprit of the “Prince of Greece”, of secular humanism, and it had especially swallowed young leaders attending Ivy League universities in the North East of America. As intercessors cried out, the eagle grabbed this serpent between it’s claws, took it up and then ripped it apart, with this young generation released from the prison of its belly, and parachuting down on the East Coast to become points of burning fire in the darkness.  I saw it had the potential, if guarded and fathered, of growing into a ‘Third Great Awakening”.  At the same time, we can expect increasingly violent persecution to come from secular humanists against Christians, but if we persevere, it will only fuel great growth in this new move of the Lord.

May we hear the Lord in this season to press in for a great outpouring upon children; for greater authority to be exercised in governmental intercession; for the protection of Israel, and a great harvest amongst Muslims; and for new life and fruitful branches to spring up from old roots.
