第三十五天：2011年11月1日(Cheshvan 04, 5772)
請讀： 撒母耳記上第30章，撒母耳記下第5章
默想： 詩篇九十二篇
「重建大衛的帳幕！」
重建大衛的帳幕就是在地上的領域向前邁進，請注意前面的句子是現在式的時態。每個世代都被呼召來建立一個讚美的帳幕，大衛在地上建立了一個新的模式，阿摩司就曾預言，這種模式將會再度建立(阿摩司書9:11)。在使徒行傳中，使徒們說，「這就是阿摩司所預言的！」(請看使徒行傳15:15-17)在啟示錄中，約翰被帶進一個天堂的空間(heavenly dimension)，並看見這帳幕充滿了一支敬拜的軍隊，在末後的日子，在地上相同的軍隊將展現出勝利，因為他們已贏得在天上的戰爭。我們是上帝在地上的軍隊，將要與天使天軍一起同工，來展現出聖潔神的得勝大能遍及世上的列國，而這樣的敬拜層次將會開啟一個全球性的收割。
大衛是一位戰士，他知道全能上帝的真實，並且他猛烈地敬拜神，他是牧羊人也是國王，他有一顆跟隨神的心，而且他的心必須釋放出敬拜讚美。你的猛烈敬拜，正為國度的收割預備一座倉庫，而「敬拜」就是教會歷史在這時刻的關鍵問題。我相信敬拜神能夠廢除仇敵在這世界所設立的任何王位，讓我們一同來站立，因著我們的敬拜將一個保護遮蓋放在萬國的四周圍，代禱並且相信神會為著我們的益處來行動。
另一個關鍵問題是，能讓我們在危機與改變的時刻中脫穎而出的就是「恩膏」，大衛被膏抹，他的恩膏是漸進的，身為一個少年，在耶西的家中他是八個兒子中最年幼的，後來他被撒母耳膏抹，也被膏抹成為以色列的王，然而這恩膏引導他經歷了許多的危險，在洗格拉打了一場大勝仗後，猶大人膏抹大衛成為猶大家的王(撒母耳記下2:4)。最後所有以色列的長老到山上膏立他為王，而那山是從未有人攻佔過的，後來那座山大衛稱之為錫安山。
為了這些他就必須戰鬥，為了重建、恢復所有的一切、並且實行上帝的最終計畫，那麼他就必須要作戰。主的軍隊是以聲音來引導，祂的聖徒團隊的目標就是要建立祂的榮耀，大衛作王的最終目標，就是要將神的約櫃運往錫安山的安放之處，為了做到這一點，他和他的軍隊必須先「攻下這座山」，一旦攻下這座山，他們就必須清楚聽見該如何前進。但敵人也聽過他被膏立為王與榮耀之事，非利士人是大衛長久以來的敵人，他們聽到他新的膏抹之事，以及大衛要如何攻下耶布斯人的堡壘，並為了神而將這堡壘周圍築城來保衛這錫安山。於是非利士人便企圖阻止約櫃運到神所預定的地方，而大衛必須運用謀略來突破敵人的勢力，但這樣做必須要聽見正確的聲音！
他聽到的聲音是「風吹在桑樹的聲音」，在撒母耳記下第五章，大衛經歷了他自己生命中最大的突破，先前已對他預言的事，歷經了29年竟然開始實現，之後他必須帶領軍隊前往戰場，當非利士人聽見大衛已被膏立為王，他們起來攻擊他，而大衛擊敗非利士人並將他們趕出他的管轄勢力範圍。然而他們又再度集結來攻擊他，所以他求問神是否要追趕他們，在撒母耳記下5:24，神回答說：「你聽見桑樹梢上有腳步的聲音，就要急速前去，因為那時耶和華已經在你前頭去攻打非利士人的軍隊。」這行軍的聲音不只是風吹在樹梢的聲音，而是天使天軍、神的軍隊使樹葉沙沙作響，表示他們出現要來幫助大衛贏得勝利。
這是認識天使、天上的軍隊就在我們當中的時刻！如果我們讓我們的靈活躍與聖靈相通連結，我們將會開始看見神的同在，而且祂的天使天軍正在為我們的益處來爭戰。在啟示錄中，我們發現真正的問題，是在「天上的聲音」與「神在地上的彰顯」之間的關係。聲音能引導我們向前，今天要願意讓「天上的聲音」來命令你的行動，要向神求一個新的恩膏，不要害怕去攻佔「你的山嶺」，不只攻佔山嶺，而是在上帝呼召你去居住的地方，願意建立一個新的敬拜方式。讓祂的榮耀與恩膏在你裡面發出光來，與祂同住，並看祂與你同住。
Day 35 of 100 Days: “Rebuilding David’s Tabernacle!” Read: 1 Samuel 30, 2 Samuel 5, Meditate on Psalm 92
Chuck Pierce 寫於 2011年11月1日 4:37
The restoration of David’s Tabernacle is advancing in the earth realm. Notice the present tense of the preceding sentence. Every generation is called to build a Tabernacle of Praise. David built a new model in the earth. Amos prophesied that this model would be built again. In Book of Acts, the apostles said, “This is that which Amos prophesied!” In the Book of Revelation, John is brought into a heavenly dimension and sees this tabernacle filled with a worshipping army. In latter days, the same army on earth will express triumph because they have won the war in the heavens. We, God’s army in the earth, will co-labor with the Host of Heaven to express a Holy God’s overcoming power throughout the nations of the earth. This level of worship will unlock a global harvest.
David was a warrior. He knew the reality of an Almighty God and he praised Him violently. He was a shepherd and a king. He had a heart after God and his heart had to release praise. Your violent praise is preparing a storehouse for Kingdom harvest. Worship is the key issue at this time in the history of the Church. I believe worship will dethrone any throne that the enemy has built in this world. Let us stand together to put a canopy of protection around the nations as we worship, intercede and believe that God will move on our behalf.
The other key issue that breaks us forth in times of crisis and change is the anointing. David was anointed. His anointing was progressive. As a lad, the youngest of eight brothers from the House of Jesse, he was anointed by Samuel. He was anointed as King of all of Israel. However, this anointing led him through many dangers. He was anointed by Judah after winning a great battle at Ziklag. He was eventually anointed by all of Israel to the HILL that no one had ever taken, a hill that David would name Zion.
To do this he had to battle. To restore, recover all, and fulfill God’s ultimate plan, he had to war. The Lord’ troops were led forward by sound. The goal of His company of saints was to establish His glory. David’s ultimate goal as king was to get the Ark of His Covenant to the resting place on Zion’s Hill. To do that, he and his mighty army had to “take the Hill” first. Once the Hill was taken, they had to hear clearly how to advance. But the enemy also heard that this anointing and glory were on the move. The Philistines, David’s long time enemy, heard of his new anointing and how David had taken the Jebusites’ stronghold and secured the Hill for the Lord. They were determined to stop the Ark from getting to the place that God had ordained. David had to maneuver his way past this enemy force, but to do so he would have to hear the right sound!
The sound that he was to listen for was “the wind in the mulberry trees.” In 2 Samuel 5, David had experienced a major breakthrough in his own life. What had been prophesied over him 29 years prior had actually come into fulfillment. He then had to lead the armies forth into battle. When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king, they rose up against him. David defeated the Philistines and drove them out of his jurisdictional authority. However, they regrouped and came back at him again. He asked the Lord if he was to pursue them. In 2 Samuel 5:24the Lord answers, “And . . . when you hear the sound of the marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly.” The sound of marching was not just the wind blowing the tops of the trees, but the Hosts of Heaven and the armies of God rustling the leaves and signifying they were present to help David in victory.
This is a time to recognize the angels and Hosts of Heaven among us! If we will keep our spirits active and in communion with Holy Spirit, we will begin to see the presence of God and His Hosts of Heaven that are contending on our behalf. In the book of Revelation, we find the real issue is the relationship between the sounds of heaven and the demonstration of God on earth. Sound leads us forth. Be willing to allow the sounds of Heaven to order your actions today. Ask the Lord for a new anointing. Do not be afraid to take “your hill”. Not only take the hill, but be willing to establish a new form of worship in the place that God has called you to dwell. Let His glory and anointing in you shine outward. Dwell with Him and watch Him tabernacle with you.
