停下來讚美！「主的偉大」
今天我們將停下來讚美神！數字49是與禧年(Jubilee)、歡呼讚美(Praise)有關！就在我們抵達這一百天專心尋求神的中途點時，讓我們來稱頌主的偉大，來開啟我們未來的收割。
恰克．皮爾斯
聖經教導我們要稱頌主的偉大，詩篇34:1-3寫道：「我要時時稱頌耶和華；讚美他的話必常在我口中。我的心必因耶和華誇耀；謙卑人聽見就要喜樂。你們和我當稱耶和華為大，一同高舉他的名。」為何聖經要如此教導？這是因為魔鬼的屬世廣告節目使我們眼中的上帝縮小了，我們必須使祂為大！稱耶和華為大！我們該如何做？有一個方法就是讚美祂。
當我們是以真正的生命糧食為食物時，我們就開始以「神自己本身」(God Himself)來填滿「神樣式的空間」(God-shaped void)，當我們這麼做時，我們就滿足了我們裡面的天然慾望而來敬拜神。保羅寫到，「我是攻克己身，叫身服我。」〔我嚴格地對付自己的身體，為要完全控制它。〕(哥林多前書9:27)John Dickson說，他必須告訴自己要放下那塊點心(Twinkie)，而當他順服時，他便開始嚐到、並看到主是美善的。【註：在美國所吃的Twinkie，為類似奶油夾心的海綿蛋糕點心，為高熱量的垃圾食物。】
以賽亞書55:1-2寫道：「上主說：口渴的人哪，來吧，這裏有水喝！沒錢的人哪，來吧，來買食物吃！不用花錢，不付代價，來買酒和奶喝！為甚麼花錢去買吃不飽的東西呢？為甚麼浪費工錢而仍舊捱餓呢？聽我的話，照我的吩咐做，你就能享受最好的食物，使你心靈獲得飽足。」(現代中文譯本)
神已在我們的敵人面前，為我們預備了一個盛筵，「在我敵人面前，你為我擺設筵席；你用油膏了我的頭，使我的福杯滿溢。」(詩篇23:5)神的靈說，「來吧！」，讓我們來吃〔神的話〕，讓我們來默想〔神的話〕，讓我們來行使從祂那裡所得到的，讓我們來努力獲得我們的救贖，讓我們來讚美神，讓我們來敬拜神。
第五十天： 2011年11月16日(Cheshvan 19, 5772)
請讀： 約翰福音第一章 路加福音3:16 以賽亞書第四十章
「超越、進入新層次的預言命定」
透過代禱來打開天上窗戶的門，如今我們走到中途了，那會重整你的未來、並開啟你國家的下一個季節。當亞伯拉罕與他的家人離開迦勒底的吾珥，並朝著神要他去的目標來前進，他和他的家人住在哈蘭一段時間，而這就是他的目的地之中途點，這就是神遇見他的地方，並賜給他未來的應許。在我們通過未來50天時，我希望你開始去聆聽神要應許給你的未來，現在就是去「超越」我們前面所走過任何地方的時刻了。
恰克．皮爾斯
我相信神正在召集一群人，他們在說：「我們要稱那個地方為超越！」。請看先知約翰，在世上沒有人比他更大的了，他預告說：「我就是那人在曠野呼喊著說：預備主的道，修直他的路！」你知道他在說什麼嗎？他完全回到在數百年以前的以賽亞書第四十章，並引用那已預言的話，那就是神如何作在我們當中的，突然間祂會將一些事說到你的生命裡面，就是已經說的關於你的事，甚至可能藉由曾祖父說的，而你甚至不知道說了什麼，它就被鎖起來存放在天堂，然後突然間，就像雨和雪般，祂打開並傾倒出來，你們有些人會認為現在所有關於你所連結的事，是你真正領受到的時候。
約翰說：「我是用水施洗，但有一位站在你們中間，是你們不認識的，就是那在我以後來的，我給他解鞋帶也不配。」（約翰福音1:26–27），「他要用聖靈與火給你們施洗。」（路加福音3:16）換句話說，你現在正領受一個洗禮，但有一件事更甚於你目前的情況。
這裡是得到那個新洗禮的問題：你將必須認出那滴落在你路徑上的話語，因為那就是聖經所說的要照明你的路，「你的話是我腳前的燈，是我路上的光。」（詩篇119:105）。你們當中有些人可能沒有一個預言賜給你，直到神從這本書中加速一個給你，當你領受到一個預言時，那話語就開始照亮你的路徑，即使在此之前你是處在完全的黑暗中，而那就是聖靈如何作工的。
聖靈最近告訴我這些話：「你必須前來並渴望認識我的兒子。你必須認識祂，因為在認識祂當中，你會看見我像什麼，也會看見你像什麼。我差遣祂並以我的形象來創造你，而藉由看見祂與認識祂，你就能開始了解我，但比那更多的是，你就可以知道我的兒子是誰，甚至能研究這話語，就像是法利賽人所做的，而且仍然沒有將你的心降服於祂。」耶穌對那些法利賽人說，「你們來回地查考聖經，但是你們從來沒有來認識我的靈。」這兒子坐在天上，祂已賜下祂的靈，祂說：「你還必須認識我的靈、以及我的靈能夠做在你身上的事，否則你的靈將永遠無法正確地塑造。如果沒有正確地塑造，你的靈就永遠無法進入我為其所預定的力量中，那將無法使你的靈魂強壯，那麼你就不能以新的方式上升來完成我的旨意。」
約翰在說：「我用一種方式施洗，但是你將必須有另一種，你必須超越這個洗禮！」
在我們園區的「所羅門的門廊」(Solomon’s Porch)，有一扇門意外地拉上鎖起來，很不幸地，沒有鑰匙可打開這門，所以我們有段時間無法進入這個房間，我的妻子潘去問James Vincent是否能找到方法來打開，這樣我們就不必找鎖匠來處理。這裡我有James所寫下所遇到的事：
「就在潘請我去打開這門之後，我完全不確定該怎麼去做。不過我必須說，我覺得要打開這門沒有其他的選擇！有段時間我曾使用各種的工具將門從門框裡弄出來，最後我能夠用力敲開，而在盡最大努力之後，我們不用鑰匙就將門打開了。」
這代表在這個中途點中所看起來的情況，仇敵現在正開始阻止我們向前進，但是那無法被打開往前走的門，現在已經打開了！
Day 49 of 100 Days: Stop and Praise! ”The Magnification of the Lord” Read Ps. 34, 1 Cor. 9, Is. 55, Ps. 23
Chuck Pierce 寫於 2011年11月14日 23:38
We will stop and Praise today! The number 49 is linked with Jubilee and Praise! Let is magnify the Lord as we reach the halfway point of this 100 day focus to unlock harvest for our future.
Chuck D. Pierce
The Bible instructs us to magnify the Lord. Psalm34: 1-3 reads, “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; the humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together. ”Why? It happens because the devil’s earthly advertising program has made God small in our eyes. We must make Him large! Magnify Him. How do we do this? One way is to praise Him.
When we feed upon the true Bread of Life, we begin to fill the God-shaped void with God Himself. As this happens, we satisfy the natural desire within us to worship. Paul wrote, “I discipline my body and bring it into subjection” (1 Cor. 9:27). John Dickson admits that he has to tell himself to put down that Twinkie. When he obeys, he begins to taste and see that the Lord is good. Isaiah 55:1-2 reads:
Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance.
God has prepared a table before us in the presence of our enemies (see Ps. 23:5).His Spirit says, “Come.” Let us eat. Let us meditate. Let us exercise that which we are obtaining from Him. Let us work out our salvation. Let us praise. Let us worship.
Day 50 of 100 Days: “Go beyond and into the next level of prophetic destiny” Read: John 1, Luke 3:16, Isaiah 40
Chuck Pierce 寫於 2011年11月15日 22:53
We are now halfway through the intercession of unlocking the doors in the window of heaven that will realign your future and open up the next season for the nation you are apart of. When Abram and his family left the Ur of the Chaldees and advanced toward the destination God was calling him to reach, he and the family settled for a time in Haran. This was halfway to his destination. This is where the Lord met him and gave him the promise fore his future. I want you to start listening to the Lord for His promise for your future as we go through the next 50 days. Now it is time to “go beyond” any place we have ever been before.
Chuck D. Pierce
I believe God is assembling a group who is saying, “We want that place calledbeyond!” Look at the prophet John. No one has been greater in the earth than this man who prophesied and said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: make straight the way of the Lord.” Do you know what he was saying? He was going all the way back to Isaiah 40, hundreds of years earlier, and was quoting what had been prophesied. That’s how God works in our midst. All of a sudden He will have something spoken into your life that has already been said concerning you, maybe even by Great-Grandpa, that you didn’t even know was said. It was locked up and stored in the heavens. Then all of a sudden, like the rain and snow, He unlocks it and pours it down. Some of you think it’s all about you connecting right now, when it’s really about you receiving.
John said, “I baptize with water, but there stands One among you whom you do not know. It is He who, coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose” (John 1:26–27). “He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire”(Luke 3:16). In other words, you’re receiving a baptism now, but there’s one beyond where you presently are.
Here’s the problem of getting that new baptism: you are going to have to recognize the Word that is dropping in your path, because that’s what the Bible says is lighting your path. Some of you might not have had one prophetic word given over you until God quickened one to you from this book. When you receive a prophecy, that word begins to light your path, even if you were in total darkness before now. That’s how the Spirit of God works.
The Spirit of God recently told me this: “You have to come and have a heart to get to know My Son. You have to know Him, because in knowing Him you’ll see what I’m like and see what you’re like. I sent Him and created you in My image, and by seeing Him and getting to know Him, you can begin to understand Me. But there’s more to it than that. You can get to know who My Son was and can even study the Word like the Pharisees did and still not yield your heart to Him.” Jesus said to the Pharisees, “You search the Scriptures backward and forward, but you never come to know My Spirit.” The Son, who is seated in the heavenly places, who has given His Spirit, says, “You must also know My Spirit and what My Spirit is capable of doing in you, or your spirit will never form properly. If it does not form properly, it will never come into the strength I’ve ordained for it. It will not be able to strengthen your soul, and you will be unable to ascend in new ways to accomplish My will.”
John was saying, “I’m baptizing you one way, but you’re going to have to have another one. You have to go beyond this baptism!”
Day 50A of 100 Days: “Go beyond and into the next level of prophetic destiny” Read: John 1, Luke 3:16, Isaiah 40

We have a door in Solomon’s Porch that accidentally got pulled shut. Unfortunately, there was no key to unlock it, and we’ve had no access to this room for some time. Pam asked James Vincent if he could find a way to open it so that we would not have to bring out a locksmith. I had James write up what he encountered:
“After Pam asked me to open the door, I wasn’t totally sure what to do. However, I have to say that I felt there was no other option but to get the door open! I worked with a variety of tools for some time to separate the door from the jam. Eventually, I was able to force the strike open. With much effort, we got the door open without a key.”
This represents what this half way point looks like. The enemy is now starting to resist us moving forward, but what could not be opened to strike forth is now opened!
