第八十三天：2011年12月19日(Kislev 23, 5772)
請讀：以西結書第三十六章、第三十七章
預言我們的命定–「未來的希望」
「所以你要發預言對他們說，主耶和華如此說：我的民哪，我必開你們的墳墓，使你們從墳墓中出來，領你們進入以色列地。我的民哪，我開你們的墳墓，使你們從墳墓中出來，你們就知道我是耶和華。我必將我的靈放在你們裡面，你們就要活了。我將你們安置在本地，你們就知道我─耶和華如此說，也如此成就了。這是耶和華說的。」(以西結書37:12-14)〔所以，你要向我的子民以色列說預言，告訴他們，我─至高的上主這樣說：我要打開你們的墳墓，把你們帶出來，領你們回到以色列本土。我打開你們的墳墓，領你們出來以後，你們就知道我是上主。我要把我的氣息吹進你們裏面，使你們再活過來，讓你們住在自己的土地上。這樣，你們就知道我是上主。我說了，一定實行。我─上主這樣宣佈了。」(現代中文譯本)〕
請注意這句話，「我將你們安置在本地」〔讓你們住在自己的土地上〕，就是在以西結書第三十六章中所釋放的預言性命定，於是神的話回到了一開始的地方！但是如果以西結在骸骨連結起來之後，停止再進一步預言，結果會沒有生命的氣息產生嗎？那就是我們很容易在基督的身體裡所做的事。我們認為我們有聽到神說的話，於是我們就發預言，但是當事情沒有我們想像中順利時，我們便放棄了，最後就未能達到我們的預言性命定，於是我們看不到神對我們說的話得以成就實現。當以西結在第四個層次發預言時，復活的能力就被釋放出來，於是墳墓就被打開，而百姓就被帶回到自己的土地上。我很喜愛這句話，「你們就知道我─耶和華如此說，也如此成就了〔我說了，一定實行〕。這是耶和華說的。」(以西結書37: 14)
你知道在你的生命中有一個應許是從神而來的，這是一回事，但是要讓這個應許在你的生命中實現，則又是另一回事。在以西結書第三十七章中，有四個層次的協議與預言，是看到神話語實現所必需的。我們不能成為容易軟弱的百姓，身為神的百姓我們不能讓灰心沮喪存在我們的心裡，如果我們選擇不後退，反而繼續向前邁進來通過預言的各層次，那麼神將會在我們當中執行祂的旨意，並使預言得以實現！
Day 83 of 100 Days: Prophesy Our Destiny: “Hope for the Future” Read: Ezek. 36, 37
“Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord’” (Ezek. 37:12-14).
Notice that the phrase “I will place you in your own land” was the prophetic destiny released in Ezekiel 36. The word of the Lord had come full circle! But what if Ezekiel had stopped pressing forward after the bones had come together and there was no breath? That’s what we tend to do in the Body of Christ. We think that we’ve heard God and we prophesy; but when things don’t turn out as we thought, we give up and end up falling short of reaching our prophetic destiny. We do not see the word that God has spoken to us being manifest and fulfilled. As Ezekiel prophesied at the fourth level, resurrection power was released so that the graves could be opened and the people brought in their own land. I love the phrase “Then you will know that I, the Lord, havespoken it and performed it, says the Lord” (v. 14, emphasis added).
It’s one thing to have a promise in your life that you know is from God, but it’s another thing for that promise to be performed in your life. In Ezekiel 37, four levels of agreement and prophesying were necessary to see the fulfillment of God’s word. We cannot be a people that faint easily. Discouragement has no place in us as God’s people. If we choose not to back up but to keep moving forward through the levels of prophecy, then God will perform His will in us and bring about prophetic fulfillment!
