這是天上開啟窗口的一年。如同我寫了, 這是上帝HEI 的一年。西伯來文HEI 這個字看起來就像是窗口。
When studying this word, both wind and sound blow from heaven through the window into the earth realm to bring change. Declare that you are willing to change and watch your atmosphere begin to be filled with God's presence.
當你學習這個詞, 風和聲音吹動正從天堂通過窗口進入地球領土帶來改變。宣告你是願意改變並看見上帝的同在充滿在你的氛圍中。
God does not produce signs and wonders from heaven as ends in themselves. They are released to bring faith to His people and those around them -- whether believers or unbelievers.
上帝從天上所施行的神蹟奇事本身並不是目的。神蹟奇事被釋放是要為人帶來信心，無論是信徒或不信者。
This is also the year of the SAMEKH of God, or things coming full circle. This is the year to break old cycles. Ask the Lord to come again and break you out of old cycles. Ask Him to allow you to experience His Glory so your faith will explode. Come, Lord Jesus! May you enter into the fullness of this year of Samekh Hei!
這並且是上帝SAMEKH 的年, 或事回到圓滿循環的一年。這是打破舊循環的一年。要求主再來和打破您過去的老舊循環。求他允許您體驗他的榮耀使您的信心有爆炸性的突破。來, 主耶穌！ 願您進入今年Samekh Hei的豐滿度!
The Church is in an incredible season of change. I believe we are all sensing those changes in us and around us. In one of our prayer meetings at Glory of Zion at the beginning of December, I saw "great atmospheric changes in the heavens that would affect the earth realm." We are hearing about those changes in the natural as well as the spiritual.
教會正處在一個變動的令人難以置信的季節。我相信我們都感覺到那些在我們與我們周圍的變動。在我們12月初在錫安榮耀（Glory of Zion）舉行的禱告會中, 我在異象中看見"天上有巨大大氣變化正在影響地球領域。" 我們在自然界與靈界都已經聽聞這些變化。
I actually prophesied that over the next four months (beginning in December) there would be cataclysmic shifts in the heavens and we must be prepared to shift in the earth realm. It's important to understand that the heavens and earth are changing, and the atmosphere of earth is changing rapidly in the natural. As we intensify our seeking of the Lord, not only will passion increase, but we will also understand that the heavenlies are coming closer and invading the earth. We are entering a supernatural dimension.
我當時確實預言在接下來的四個月(起始於12月) 天上會有巨變轉移，並且我們必須準備在屬地的領域有同樣的變化。瞭解天堂和地球即將改變是很重要的, 並且地球大氣正迅速地改變中。當我們更深切地尋求神, 不僅我們的熱情增加, 我們也瞭解天堂來臨更加鄰近和侵略地球。我們正在進入一個超自然的向度。
This is a SEASON to Declare VICTORY! 這是宣稱勝利的季節!
I hope you received our last 10 Day Prayer Focus, 10 Days to Decree 10 Months of Victory. If not, you can read it on The Elijah List at http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=2871.
我希望您已經收到我們的前個10 天的禱告焦點, 10 天宣告下10 個月勝利。如果您沒有收到, 您能在以下網址讀這篇文章 http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=2871。
Each month we are decreeing victory. God is having to develop a mindset of victory in His people. This is a year we are on the offense and not the defense. The enemy does not have an upper hand this year. This last 10 day prayer focus explained how to declare victory for the next 10 months. I studied each month in the word of God and saw how certain things happened in certain months.
每個月我們都要宣告得勝。上帝正在他百姓中發展一種得勝的心思意念。今年我們是要進攻而不是防禦。仇敵人今年對我們並沒有勝算。這個10 天的禱告焦點解釋了怎麼為下10 個月宣告得勝。我學習每個月如何在神的話語中看見接下來幾個月的事情會如何發生。
One of the months had the following victory focus: What you seed in the second month will begin to produce great fruit. (I am not talking about the month of February, but your second month of prayer where you "set your face like a flint" to have victory.) We are decreeing that what you tithe will blossom. We are decreeing that there is a supernatural grace for your offerings to multiply 30, 60, and 100 fold. We are decreeing that you will gain victory through giving and break the curse of God robbing. We are even declaring that you will break a three year cycle of debt and declare that your past financial defeats will reverse and begin to multiply seven fold.
當中有一個月有如下的得勝焦點:您在第二個月所撥種的將開始生產偉大的果實。(我不是在說二月, 而是在您"讓您的面孔像火石"禱告的第二個月會有勝利。) 我們宣告您所種的（十一奉獻）將會開花結果。我們宣告有超自然的恩典將使您的奉獻倍增30, 60, 和100倍。我們宣告您將透過給出去來得勝並打破竊取神（譯按：沒有十一奉獻就是竊取神）所造成的咒詛。我們甚至宣告,您將打破債務的三年週期，並宣告您過去的財務虧損將會逆轉並將開始有倍增七倍的豐盈。
Any poverty spirit that has held your generational bloodline in captivity and kept you from the fullness of the prosperity that God has for you must break
任何挾制你血脈（歷世歷代祖先與家族）的貧窮的靈，他們攔阻你進入神為你預備的豐盛，都必須被全然破除！
Breaking the Spirit of Poverty 破除貧窮的靈
We need a wind of change to blow upon us and produce victory! This will break every old cycle. If the windows of heaven open, then every spirit that has trapped us in the past will flee! One old cycle that I feel we should break is linked to the SPIRIT OF POVERTY!
我們需要改變的風吹在我們身上並帶來得勝! 這將打破每個舊循環。如果天堂窗口打開, 那麼每個在過去挾制我們的靈都將逃逸! 我感覺其中一個舊循環我們應該打破的就是貧窮的靈有關的!
Victory is the defeat of an enemy or opponent. Victory is the success in a struggle against difficulties or some obstacle that is impeding your path of success. Victory is the state of having triumphed. We are declaring a victory over the SPIRIT OF POVERTY! This spirit has violated God's perfect order and produced instability in many.
勝利是敵人或對手的失敗。勝利是在與攔阻你進入成功的障礙或是困難爭戰得勝。我們正宣告對於貧窮之靈的得勝! 貧窮的靈違犯了上帝的完善的定律並導致諸多的不穩定。
I feel the Lord is saying to take a violent, passionate stand on behalf of the Body of Christ concerning this spirit. When God is talking about us being violent, this means that we will press through difficulty and storms, and force an atmospheric change. I declare that any atmosphere of poverty encircling around you or your sphere of authority will be invaded with the atmosphere of blessing and glory from heaven.
我感到主對我說要代表基督的身體對貧窮的靈採取一個猛烈，熱情的立場。當上帝提到要我們猛烈，這意味著說我們將會通過困難和風暴, 並且強迫這屬靈氣氛改變。我宣告任何環繞你的貧窮氣氛將會被來自天堂的祝福與榮耀的氣氛所侵蝕。
How Does A Poverty Mindset Develop? 貧窮的心思意念是如何發展出來的？
Poverty is refusing to become what God created and destined you to be. Poverty is not believing that the Lord can branch you into the fullness of His plan. Poverty is not just experiencing lack, but having a fear that you will lack. Poverty is where you conform to your circumstance or the blueprint that the world and the god of this world has surrounded you with.
貧窮是拒絕成為上帝創造並預定您所成為的樣式。貧窮是不相信神能將您帶入他的豐盛計劃中。貧窮不僅是實際經驗到匱乏，而是懼怕你將會缺乏。貧窮是你屈服在世界的靈及你的環境所逼迫你成為的樣式中。
Poverty occurs when the "god of this world" surrounds you with and influences you with only a world perspective and causes you to forget God's ability in the midst of your circumstance. Poverty has a voice that says, "God is not able!"
當這個世界的靈環繞你並單單用屬世的價值觀影響你，使你忘記了神在你環境中的能力時，貧窮便發生了。貧窮發聲如此說, "上帝不能!"
Poverty can occur through various means. Poverty can occur through oppression through wrong authoritative structures (Isaiah 5:8). Poverty can also occur if we have a mentality of covetousness or gluttony (Proverbs 23:21). Poverty can occur if we are indolent or lazy (Proverbs 24:33,34). Haste leads to poverty (Proverbs 28:22). This occurs when we fall into "get rich quick" schemes. Poverty occurs if you negate the Holy Spirit. If you resist the Holy Spirit you negate the blessing of the Lord.
貧窮可能通過各種各樣的手段產生。貧窮可能通過錯誤的權柄結構的壓迫發生(以賽亞書5:8) 。如果我們有貪婪或暴食的心思意念，貧窮也可能發生(箴言23:21) 。如果我們是疏懶或懶惰的，貧窮也可能發生(箴言24:33,34) 。匆忙會導致貧窮(箴言28:22) 。這發生在當我們陷入"快速致富"的計劃中。貧窮發生在當您否定聖靈之時。如果您抗拒聖靈，您其實在抗拒主的祝福。
Genesis 45 is the only Old Testament reference to poverty outside of Proverbs. Joseph was anointed to keep the people from experiencing poverty. In the New Testament there were two concepts of poverty: begging and alms! The Lord is breaking the power of begging in His people. He is making us a people of faith. He will change the identity of His people from beggars to KINGS!
《創世紀》45 是舊約唯一在箴言以外提到貧窮的經文。約瑟被膏抹的目的在避免百姓經驗貧窮。在新約貧窮有兩個概念：乞求和施捨! 主要打破他百姓中乞求的力量。他乃是要建造我們成為信心的百姓。他將改變他的人民的身分認同從乞丐到君王!
What are the Causes of Poverty? 什麼是貧窮的起因?
The key reason for poverty is our failure to harvest. When you do not gather spoils, a poverty mentality is set against you.
貧窮的關鍵原因是我們的疏忽收成。當您不聚集擄物時, 貧窮的心思意念便被建造來反對您。
Many times the enemy will wait until your harvest time to develop strategies of devastation against you. The enemy already has devised a plan to eat up your assets and returns.
許多時候仇敵將等待直到您的收穫時間開發毀滅戰略反對您。仇敵已經構想計劃來吞吃您的財產和應許。
With Gideon, the Midianites always stole the harvest (Judges 6). We can plant. We can watch our crops grow. We can even have breakthrough. But if we do not take our opportunity to gather and steward the spoils, a strategy of poverty will begin to develop against us. When you increase without developing the storehouse to contain your spoils, the enemy will gain access to you excess and your future.
對基甸而言, 米佃人總是在竊取收成(士師記6) 。我們能種植。我們能觀看我們的莊稼增長。我們甚至可以有突破。 但如果我們不利用我們的機會聚集並且管理擄物, 仇敵將會開始發展貧窮戰略來對付我們。 當您增加沒有開發倉庫來收集你的擄物，仇敵將對您竊取剩餘和您的未來。
Other causes of poverty include aligning with structures that cause your interest rates to go beyond a godly mentality of interest (Nehemiah 5:1-5), fear and an unwillingness to face your enemy (Proverbs 22:13), and (succumbing to) persecution of faith (II Corinthians 6 and 8).
其它貧窮的原因包括收取超過神設立的利息標準(尼希米 5:1-5), 恐懼和不願意去面對您的敵人(箴言22:13), 並且(屈服於) 信心的迫害(林後 6 和8) 。
War to See Poverty Break! 打破貧窮的戰爭！
If you are sent to or get in a war and lose it, you wear a reproach until you have a subsequent victory. Many in the Body are afraid to war. War is the conflict necessary to conquer your enemies and take possession of what has been promised to you.
如果您被派遣參與爭戰中卻戰敗, 您將會帶著責備直到您下一次的勝利。許多基督的肢體害怕打仗。戰爭是征服您的敵人並承受所應許的產業所必經的衝突。
War is receiving grace to fight (I Thessalonians 5:8; II Timothy 2:3,4). War is receiving the necessary armor for victory (Ephesians 6:11-17).
戰爭是接受恩典去戰鬥(帖前 5:8;提後2:3,4) 。戰爭是為了得勝接受必要的全副軍裝(弗 6:11-17) 。
War produces an opportunity for us to enter into victory (Revelation 3:21). The Lord brought His people out of Egypt by armies (Exodus 12:51), with a trumpet sound and a battle cry. He brought them out with the Ark , or presence of God (I Samuel 4:5,6). He used forces of nature if necessary to help them defeat their enemies (Joshua 10). He always releases strategies enabling us to plunder, prosper, and stand (Matthew 10; Ephesians 6). He has a Banner of Victory for you.
戰爭為我們製造得勝的機會(啟3:21) 。主帶領他的百姓以軍隊的形式出埃及(出12:51), 以號角與戰爭的吶喊。他帶領他們與約櫃一起出來, 或是神的同在(撒上4:5,6) 。如果需要他使用自然力量幫助他們擊敗仇敵(書10) 。他總發佈戰略使我們掠奪，昌盛，並站立(太10; 弗 6) 。他為你預備得勝的旌旗。
While Jehovah Nissi puts a banner over you to cover you, Lord Sabaoth will send the Hosts of Heaven to help you. He is God of the armies of Earth (I Samuel 17:26) and God of the unseen armies of angels (I Kings 22:19). HE IS THE LORD OF THE ARMIES (Romans 9:29)! He already has victory for you!
We are required to combat poverty by being kind and generous to others. Like Ruth in Boaz' field, we can combat poverty by allowing people to glean our vineyard, and providing them access to our excess. We combat poverty by developing strategies to help those that have been ravished by systemic poverty. In other words, we should help others gain wisdom on how to break out of the system that Satan is using to hold them captive financially. We are also required to develop reaping strategies (Amos 9:13). When we do this, we overcome and our increase will go from multiplication to multiplication.
May you be blessed and have success in all that you put your hands to! Success means that the Lord will give you the power to adapt to every circumstance so that you can bring forth His covenant plan (Deuteronomy 8:18). Success is when you accomplish God's redemptive plan for your life. If you receive revelation, if you honor the prophets, and if you are at the right place at the right time doing the right thing, then you will SUCCEED.
Joshua 1:8 says, "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." (NKJV)
Success occurs when we behave wisely and act prudently. Success occurs when we study to develop skill and understanding. Success means "to follow after," dispossess and possess/occupy, and master the place or position that the Lord assigns. Success also means that there is already help on our road to cause us to succeed.
The Power to Get Wealth and Riches!
Wealth is an abundance of possessions or resources. During the times of the patriarchs, wealth was measured largely in livestock -- sheep, goats, cattle, donkeys, and camels. This was true of Abraham (Genesis 13:2), Isaac (Genesis 26:12-14), and Jacob (Genesis 30:43; 32:5).
People of the ancient world also measured wealth in terms of land, houses, servants, slaves, and precious metals. The prime example is King Solomon, whose great wealth is described in 1 Kings 10:14-29. Wealth comes from God! The prophet Amos thundered against the rich and prosperous inhabitants of Israel , who sold "the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals" (Amos 2:6). Their wealth was corrupt and under a curse because it was founded on exploitation of the poor.
Riches is receiving the grace of the Holy Spirit to enable you to accomplish what you are called to accomplish. Riches are linked with accumulation or what you have amassed. A stewardship plan is devised from your riches. The more you steward your riches properly, the more you will get. This is just not a money issue! God is looking for people who will shift in their stewardship so He can release a transference of wealth.
GIVE Your Way out of Poverty
Giving is probably one of the most controversial things in the Body of Christ. Giving is not bringing a "check or dollar to the church." Rather, giving is built around a covenant relationship linked around an altar of worship.
Giving is when you recognize "MY KING is RIGHTEOUS and LEGITIMATE." I bless Him so He will take His stand righteously on my behalf.
Giving occurs when you worship! Giving occurs when you respond to authority with generosity and blessing. Giving occurs when you realize the lesser is blessed by the greater. He is the Greater King -- we should want to give all to Him. Giving occurs when you do not hold back what you have been entrusted with by the Lord!
God has a plan! Now is the time! Break old cycles of poverty!
