BLOG (SATURDAY NIGHT)
Zulfekar
The worship was amazing tonight in this last session of the gathering. Our hearts are overflowing with all the good things God has shown us and imparted to us over the course of the last few days that it is hard to describe what has taken place. As we exalted the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, crying out for His glory to fall, we were really ushered into the Holy of Holies. We began to prophetically command the ancient gates spoken of in Psalm 24 to be open, opening the floodgates of heaven to pour down His rain!
Later in the message, some last words of wisdom were given: even though we had such an amazing time during the last few days, we must not make the mistake of trying to reproduce it exactly as soon as we go back to our home church and worship team. The Lord has sown seeds into our hearts, and we must wait for them to germinate – to pull them out too soon would be detrimental to the seed. As we wait upon the Holy Spirit, He will guide us into His Presence, which is the most important thing of all. On the other hand, we cannot wait until we enter into the battlefield before we start living in complete surrender to the Lord as we promised Him this weekend; we must begin to live a consecrated life starting from tomorrow morning when we wake up and get out of bed. Lord, may You help us walk out each step as You lead us from here on out – we wait for You. Come Lord Jesus! Thank You for Your choosing us! Amen!!!

THE LAST EVENING
What shall I write about the last evening of the gathering? How shall I convey the feeling of the room and the dancers and the worship? I am reminded of a piece of poetry I read long ago, which would be suitable here because in this gathering the Lord wrote His poetry of surrender and sacrifice and consecration and joy and suffering and love in our spirits:
“and the night shall be filled with music,
Gone are the cares of the day...
Who shall pack up their things like the Arabs
and as silently steal away....”
it is almost as if the cares of daily life became less in the anointed presence of the gathering and the teachings, as if they packed up their things like the nomads they really are in our lives when we follow Christ and are filled with His Spirit, and moved away...so yes, I was reminded not to invite the cares and realities of everydaylife to become a permanent resident in my life, but to let them pack their bags and go, so that we live the godly adventure of everydaylife the Lord intends for us to have.
Dr.Demian referred to the covenant we had made at this gathering with the Lord that He would have His rightful place in our lives as Lord, in everydaylife. He gave us some practical ways to implement this:
1) First thing each morning surrender your day verbally to the Lord.
2) When you do this in the morning, also ask: “Lord, if anything is of you, speak to me.” and “Lord, if anything is not of you, remind me.”
3) Every time you eat or drink, ask the Lord if you have offended Him in any way during the last few hours. If you did, repent and move on. If you didn’t, thank Him and carry on.
A Chinese pastor delivered a message from which love and joy emanated, a message for everyday life which will start up again when we all return from the conference. A message for the everyday life you have remained in, dear reader, who have not physically been present here. But because you have been joined with us in God’s prescious spirit, you have been with us, and you have received all the blessings we have enjoyed here! We also have to leave this wonderful place here now, and prayerfully walk and dance these teachings into our daily lives, in the same manner you have to.

今晚是這次聚集的最後一場聚會。除了在一起歡欣慶賀神在這幾天豐豐滿滿所做成的一切,領袖們給了大家回家前的提醒:
1. 我們在耶穌裡的家是遍滿全球的。這個家是不被膚色、文化或地域所限制,無論事功或大或小,最重要的是能回家,找到家人們,與家人們在這場屬靈爭戰一起同行。我們要藉著聖靈認出我們在各地的餘民家人。
2. 我們一定要操練去聽神的聲音,每天與聖靈同行。剛開始走這條道路時,馬牧師在神學上有一個很大的調整,神的話是在聖經中,但聖靈確實在每一天都與我們說話,我們一定要常常去問神,祢在對我說甚麼。所有的神蹟都不是我們人腦所可以瞭解的,我們不能用有限的頭腦去限制神的作為,所以聽神的聲音非常重要。要用我們裡面的信心回應聖靈的微小聲音,與神同行。戴冕恩牧師操練的方式,是在每一天一開始的時候,將一天交在神手中,問神,今天我所有要做的,若不是屬祢的,請提醒我,若是祢要的,請向我說話。而在一天中,當他吃或喝任何東西的時候,都會停下來問神,我先前幾個小時有沒有討祢喜悅,做或說祢要我做或說的,若是沒有,馬上認罪悔改,若是有,感恩然後繼續。我們必須刻意地花時間在每天生活中去聽神的聲音,尤其現在我們進入了新的季節!我們要立志,讓聽神聲音成為我們最重要的事情!
3. 神在這場聚會中放下了許多的種子在我們心中,尋求神,祂要我們跟誰分享,分享甚麼。這樣的聚集最重要的是,聽見神,並順服神,我們來不是要從神那裡求甚麼,得甚麼,乃是回應神的呼召。不是沒有來的人就錯過了他們可以經歷的最好一場聚會,他們若是聽見神,順服神,沒有來聚會,他們在神面前是非常蒙喜悅的。若是種子沒有足夠的時間發芽生長,那就像是母親懷胎不到期而落。讓我們都沈澱一段時間,謙卑問神,祂要我們去跟哪些餘民,分享甚麼得著。
4. 帶著被破碎過的生命,我們回到我們所來的地方,開始新的季節,新的生命。我們已經跟神立約,祂可以在我們的生命中得到祂當得的王權和位份。從現在開始我們就必須要完完全全交主權,而不是在上了戰場之後。
5. 現在還沒有到最後末世,新郎還沒到,餘民們對全球基督身體暗夜的呼聲還沒有發出,我們要在這最後預備的時刻,精準地與神對齊。神要在祂的基督身體與祂做一些重大的對齊。神對末世有一個心意,而那不會是我們用我們的頭腦所可以測度的。時候將到,神要讓世界知道以色列的神仍然活著,猶大的獅子要出來吼叫!在很短的時間內,我們必進入一個困難的時節,但同時我們靈裡興奮,因為我們是在祂的翅膀蔭下向前,只有在火窯裡,我們會知道我們對火是有權柄的!
依依不捨,我們都不想與家人分別。這幾天在神面前的聚集之後,我們將如同新娘戰士,回到神所擺放我們在的地方,在神所交托給我們的使命上繼續前進。親愛的家人們,願神帶領你,保護你,願神在你身上美好的計畫全然成就。當困難來臨時,請記得你有一個好大好大的家庭及愛你的家人。在神下一次招聚我們在一起之前,讓我們在禱告中彼此紀念,知道當我們再相聚,我們將分享神的奇妙美好作為!

經過了一連四天的聚集,「11-11 同心同行大會」在這晚來到了最後的一場。馬建明牧師和戴勉恩牧師代表父老們,向會眾總結了我們這幾天在這聚集當中,所經歴和領受到的東西,以及一些日後可以實踐的建議。
全球的大家庭
父老們認為在這聚集中,神賜給我們最寶貴的禮物,就是一個大家庭。我們在這裡遇見了來自不同地區的家人,彼此立約,成為了一個全球性的家庭,一起去成就神的心意。我們應該求問神:日後要如何以實際的方式去行在這關係中,並且常為神放在我們心裡的那些族群禱告。尤其是領䄂們更應該求主指引連結的對象,經常保持聯絡。
傾聽神的聲音
在整個聚集期間,父老們一直都在不斷地尋求神,聆聽和領受神的指引,去帶領每一場的聚會。同樣地,在我們的日常生活中,我們也需要學習聆聽神的聲音,跟從聖靈的帶領。反覆地操練可以幫助我們去分辨出神的聲音。我們現在已經進入了生命中的新階段,必須要渴慕聽見主耶穌的聲音,如同羊要聽見牧羊人的聲音。我們要學習用靈去傾聽和回應神,好讓我們的生命能夠有突破,得以進入神在這世代的工作中。
耐心栽種
神在這聚集中,放下了許多的種子在我們心裡,這些種子都是神在末後對祂的子民所說的話。然而,這些種子需要時間去生長和成熟。我們必須要容讓聖靈使這些種子在我們的心田裡發芽生長。因此,我們應該求神給予智慧和指引,等待適當的時機,才去與其他人分享這些話語和見證。
開始新的生活
我們既與神立約,祂在我們的生命中就應該有當得的地位。我們的委身並不是等到上戰場後才開始,而是由明天早上開始。戴勉恩牧師建議大家:每天早上首先將一天交給神,並且在一天中不斷地尋求神和省察自己,察驗自已是否行在神的旨意中。
第十一小時
這次聚集早已清楚地顯示我們正處於第十一小時。然而,戴勉恩牧師提醒會眾:即使聚集結朿後,我們還未進入到第十二小時,仍然處於第十一小時。因為在第十二小時,神就會釋放一個深夜的呼喊,去喚醒全球的信徒。可是現今我們還沒有足夠的權柄,去釋放那深夜的呼聲。因此,現在不要對其他人說:「主已差遣我們去喚醒基督的身體」, 但可以分享這時刻的緊迫性。要繼續尋找那些醒着的人,與他們連結起來,一起尋求和順服神。
神與我們同在
在神的心中,祂早已有了計劃,而這些計劃並不是我們心中所想的。現在就是祂顯明這些計劃的時候。祂要證明給世人看:以色列的神如今仍然活着。祂會顯示我們從未見過的神蹟奇事,因為現在就是猶大的獅子要吼叫的時候。神要奪回祂應得的地位。也許我們將會進入一個既充滿困難,卻又令人興奮的季節,但這些困難將會讓我們進入榮耀裡,因為我們必得見神。大災難、 地震、飢荒等,全部都將引領基督的榮耀臨到萬國。主說:「不要害怕,因為我與你同在。」戴勉恩牧師強調:我們必須清楚地知道,神已經在我們面前,把一切計劃好了。因此,就讓我們隠藏在大能者的蔭下,跟隨我們的元帥。我們要懷着信心,相信主必得勝,並且宣告神的應許將必實現。
在聚集結朿前,會眾同心合意地一起宣告:願所有的尊榮、榮耀、能力、權柄,都歸予那位坐寶座的神。阿門。
