第九十一天：2011年12月27日

神蹟–「跨進時間」

神不在時間之內，而我們卻是在時間的裡面。我們的天父從起初到結束都能進入我們生命中的每個時刻，彷彿它們就是現在的時刻。透過聖靈，我們都可以實際進入我們過去感覺到被遺棄、傷害、背叛、恐懼、快樂、滿足，或是其他的情緒與情之中。不僅信徒能從過去中被饒恕，而他或她也能夠與上帝一起在時間中旅行，在過去歲月中將神當作「隨時的幫助」，並贖回那些仇敵想要作為罪惡使用的過去的時間。

  想像一下，所有的永恆以一大張紙來表示，這是藉由時間與空間來表達上帝的無限。現在在那張紙上畫一條線代表時間，要確定這條線有起點與終點。這條線的開始，就是上帝在起初創造時所設立的時間，而它會結束於當神說「時間到！」的時候。人類活在這條線上，而按照神的旨意與計畫，祂能夠跨進時間與離開時間，神一眼就看到所有的時間，而不必等到事情發生，所有的事情對祂而言都是此刻。這是一個複雜概念的簡化解釋，但是很有用。

現在假裝你能拿起線並做成一個圓圈，那是神如何看時間的更好的表示。時間是一個世代、一個世代的，時間是有週期性的，神所要給一個世代的祝福將會傳遞與連結到下一個世代，直到祂豐富的旨意在家庭、城市或者國家中實現，這就是生命的循環。仇敵想要打斷人的生命循環，來使人轉離神的神聖旨意，並開始一種稱為不義與痛苦的循環。我們的時間可以充滿祝福、或是傷害、或是詛咒，而有關聖靈的好消息是，祂的能力在任何時候都能臨到我們，並給我們一個選擇機會來跟隨祂，能脫離所有毀滅的模式，並進入一個榮耀的未來。

然而我們必須學會在時間裡面回應祂，在我們的世代裡，我們蒙召來代表神而成為神的使者，我們現在所採取的決定與行動，將會影響未來的三個世代。因此當我們明白神是如何希望我們來回應呼召，而且我們也如此回應時，祂的榮耀就會滲透進入這個世界，而我們就能看見祂在改變我們的屬靈空氣與環境。因為「神的所在」(God’s position)相對於時間的概念，所以祂能夠、也常常如此，就在我們禱告說出這些事情之前，祂似乎就已回應了我們的禱告！

神選擇人類作為重要的連結，來將祂的旨意從天堂帶到世界。祂希望我們與祂建立關係、注意聆聽祂的聲音、得到先知性啟示，並宣告那啟示進入這世界。這將會打開神蹟並釋放出祂的祝福，一旦我們聽到神的話，我們就可以代禱，我們也能說出預言。預言就是宣告出祂的想法與心意，當我們領受到先知性啟示時，我們就需要宣告出這先知性啟示，然後這氛圍就會進入我們所宣告的天堂的時間，而不是世界的時間。

Day 91 of 100 Days: Miracles: “Stepping Into Time”

Chuck Pierce 寫於 2011年12月26日 8:53

God is not in time as we are in time. Our Father has access to every moment in our lives from beginning to end as though they were the present. By the Holy Spirit, we can actually access those times in our pasts when we felt abandoned, abused, betrayed, fearful, happy, fulfilled, or any other emotion or condition. Not only can the believer be forgiven for the past, but he or she can also travel back in time with God, see Him as “a very present help” in the past, and redeem those past times that the enemy wanted to use for evil.

Imagine for a moment that all of eternity is represented by a large piece of paper. This is where God is unlimited by time and space. Now draw a line on that piece of paper, representing time. Make sure that line has a beginning and an end. This line begins when God instituted time at Creation, and it will end when God says, “Time’s up!” Man lives on the line while God can step in and out of time according to His purposes and plans. God sees all of time at once and doesn’t have to wait for anything to happen; all is present for Him. This is a simplified explanation of a complex idea, but it works.

Now pretend that you can pick the line up and use it to make a circle. That better represents how the Lord sees time. Time is generational. Time is cyclical. God intended the blessings of one generation to be passed and connected to the next generation, and the next, until the fullness of His purpose is manifested in a family, city, or nation. This is called the cycle of life. The enemy longs to break into a person’s life cycle to divert from God’s divine purpose and begin what is called a cycle of iniquity and pain. Our time can be filled with blessings or wounding or curses. The good thing about the Spirit of God is His ability to confront us at any moment and give us a choice to follow Him out of any destructive pattern and into a glorious future.

However, we must learn to respond to Him within time. We are called to represent Him as ambassadors in our generation. The decisions and actions we take now affect three generations ahead. Therefore, when we know how the Lord wants us to respond and we do so, His glory infiltrates the earth and we see Him change our atmosphere and environment. Because of God’s position relative to time, He can—and often does—seem to answer our prayers before they have been uttered!

God has chosen mankind as the necessary link to bring His will from heaven to Earth. He wants us to commune with Him, listen carefully to His voice, gain prophetic revelation, and decree that revelation into the earth. This will unlock miracles and release His blessings. Once we hear God, we can intercede. We can also prophesy. Prophecy is declaring His mind and His heart. When we receive prophetic revelation, we need to decree the prophetic revelation, and then the atmosphere into which we decree goes on heaven’s time instead of Earth’s time.
