Hear the sound!
 
There is a new sound emerging in this season, in this hour.  Tonight we started with energetic worship declaring:
 
Jesus, Jesus, we lift up the name
    we lift up the name
    we lift up the name of Jesus
    we bow to the name
    we bow to the name of Jesus!!
 
The drums and bass pounded out the rhythm declaring the name of Jesus and at the same time the dancers led all the people to the front of the room to dance and worship the Lord.
 
As one family, one body and one voice we declared, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."  It is time for God's kingdom to be established on earth.  Jesus, yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory!  As we come closer to the end of the age, He will establish His kingdom. 
 
The word says that one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.  When the presence of the Lord comes in power, there will be no option but to bow.  But there will be a remnant who will choose, who will not wait, but they will say now is the time, we choose to bow and confess that Jesus is Lord.
 
The Lord is hovering over the face of the earth because He wants to establish His kingdom.  He is looking for that remnant, that critical mass who will respond with willingness for what He is about to do.  God will do it anyway so it is a privilege now to surrender.  Be willing for God to place you in the body where He wants you to be.  As we come into that alignment, that surrender to God, and He places us in the body, you will realize that you are not alone because we cannot function alone. 
 
Now is the time to be awake, like the story of Matt 25.  All the virgins were sleeping but there was a third group that was awake, and when the bridegroom came at midnight they cried out, "Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!  So in this Gathering, those who are awake have come together to form a critical mass, who will then release a trumpet call saying, "Behold your bridegroom is coming!".
 
This is especially the hour for the Chinese to be raised up to their destiny, not just for themselves but the Lord is going to use them to activate the body.  Again we will see wise men coming from the east to declare the kingdom of God.
 
So now is the time to choose.  The Lord will call your name, are you willing?  In this preparation, the cost of disobedience is greater than the cost of obedience to the Holy Spirit.
 
We finished the evening with a prayer, "Father, prepare us, we are willing, we are willing, we believe, help our unbelief!"  "We want to join with you, we ask for the spirit of wisdom and revelation to come, open our eyes, open our ears, Father, reveal to us what you are doing, not for ourselves, but for YOUR namesake!"

Wow! Today has been a full day! This morning we finished off the leadership pregathering and felt God's presence in such a strong and tangible way as we lifted up His name and cried out for His glory to "cover the earth as the waters cover the sea." In our hearts was a deep longing and desire for the Desired of the Nations to come and dwell with us.
 
This evening as the main gathering began, we began lifting up Jesus' name again, declaring the supremacy of His name. Later, the message was given as to why exactly we are having this gathering: we are gathering the remnant of people God has chosen for this hour, a people who are willing to be obedient no matter what the cost. It takes such a remnant to stand in the gap until God awakens the whole body together in the fullness of time to glorify His name. We can no longer stand to see the church being a mockery and misrepresenting her Lord because of her divisions and lack of power. It is only in complete surrender and brokenness that God can raise up His church as a message to the rulers and principalities in the spiritual realms to show the world that He is real and glorify His name through His body. If the body is in pieces, it is not a body. Only in unity can the Father be glorified to answer the prayer of His Son, Jesus, as He prayed in John 17.
 
Looking forward to this week as the Lord has His way in each of our yielded lives. Lord, here we are, consume the sacrifice of our willing hearts. Amen

這星期一連四天，在加拿大溫哥華舉行的「11-11 同心同行大會」，已經在 11 月 9 日（星期三）晚上揭開了序幕。
 
第一場聚會，首先由陳沛恩牧師及趙仲權牧師，代表溫哥華的牧師團隊，歡迎從世界各地來到溫哥華參加這次聚會的弟兄姊妹，並由原著民代表 Carol 姊妹帶領會眾禱告。而香港的馬建明牧師則分享了眾多弟兄姊妹遠道而來的心志，只為同心尋求神，領受神的心意，讓國家被改變。
 
當敬拜團隊在帶領大家一起敬拜讚美神時，舞蹈團隊也同時地在台上起舞。耶穌的名字被高舉，弟兄姊妹同心合意地宣告唯獨祂是神，是萬王之王，萬主之主。
 
在帶領大家一同宣告主禱文後，戴勉恩牧師開始分享我們在此聚集的原因，乃是因為神在這個關鍵的時刻，呼召一群願意放下一切來尋求祂、順服祂旨意的餘民，同心地等候祂的帶領和啟示。神需要預備一個合一的身體，好讓祂的國度得以在地上建立。
 
盼望我們都能夠醒來回應神的呼召，同心合意地為那將要來的，做好準備。

"Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done 
on earth as it is in heaven"  Matt 6:7

Imagine an auditorium filled with this cry from more than a thousand believing hearts...the sound of surrender and consecration filling the air,  bringing joy to our Father’s heart.

Imagine this powerful declaration resounding in the spiritual realm and joining in with the passionate preceding dance of all God’s children from different nations present here at  the 11 11 gathering in the Vancouver convention centre ,  Canada.

Imagine all this and then join in with us,  dear reader,   by uniting your spirit in prayer and praise with ours to establish our God’s purposes for this 11th  hour we’re in.

When will His Kingdom come?
Now! Now! This is not another hour,  this is the hour.  There is no hope for the nations except in the name of Jesus Christ.  Politically and economically there is no other answer. This is the hour in which a shift is happening across the nations.  The Lord is giving His Kingdom a sound in the spiritual realm. At Rosh Hashanah in September 2011 something shifted in the spiritual realm...the Lord is declaring:  “Now I am hovering over the face of the earth,  because I want to establish my Kingdom.”

We need to respond to Him,  now,  or it will be too late.  11 11 11 is not just a date,  it is a season,  it is the hour in which He is,  which is now!

Who will  establish His Kingdom?
Not every knee will bow to the establishment of His Kingdom,  not every tongue will confess He is Lord.  He is looking for a critical mass, a remnant to establish His Kingdom.  This is what he did in the book of Acts.  In Acts 2 the Holy Spirit reigned over the remnant of 120 who then reigned over the darkness.  The 120 believers on whom the Holy Spirit descended was a critical mass of pure seed,  a criticial mass of high grade plutonium,  used to establish His Kingdom.

He will establish a kingdom over a remnant,  who will become a seed to establish His will in the nations.

God says:  “I am in need of you.  Will you surrender to me?”   Today is the day of choice.  Those who surrender will enjoy the fruits of their wise decision.  Why do we talk of the cost of obedience as if it is high?  Don’t we realise the cost of disobedience is much higher?
                                                                                                   
Where will His Kingdom be established?                                                         
God is in need of all of you.  He wants to establish His Kingdom in you,  in the hearts of people.  He wants to rule and reign over your eyes (is what you are seeing in line with His Kingdom?),  your ears (is what you’re hearing in line with His Kingdom?),  your mouth (is what you are saying in line with His Kingdom?

Jeremiah 15:19 states: “...if you take out the prescious from the vile,  you shall be as My mouth.”  We are ambassador’s of the living God and should speak and act as such,  and not defile His Name. Our words have power.

But God wants to form this kingdom in a people that is pure and united.  We need to rid ourselves of our individualistic ways.  It is not about doing works to become one,  God will put a desire in our hearts to honour His Name by becoming one.  God will not establish His Kingdom in a divided people.

How will His Kingdom be established?
God has been aligning willing hearts,  shifting and shaping us.  He has been changing us,  purifying and unifying us. He will place you in the body as He pleases,  and He will place the unified body as He pleases.

The Chinese believers have a special role. The destiny of the Chinese is to activate the body of Christ in the rest of the world. As it was in the beginning when wise men from the east knew about the birth of Christ,  so the Chinese will be instrumental in ushering in the end...

Dear reader,  imagine ten virgins,  five foolish and five wise...but all of whom slept at some stage while waiting for the Bridegroom.  We are not one of those virgins.  We are not sleeping. There was a cry in the middle of the night to wake up the virgins...someone made that cry.  There is a people who will never sleep.  God says to find those people.  Very soon these people will deliver the midnight cry to the rest of the body.  The time is now.  It is the eleventh hour.

This is the purpose of this gathering and of you joining in with us in your spirit with prayer wherever you are. God is calling your name.  He is looking for a remnant to enter in.  Align yourselves with the will of God for this hour!

帶著偉大的期盼，我們今晚開始了等候已久的聚集! 在敬拜中人們很快進入到慶典般的歡呼喜樂，在舞團及敬拜團的帶領下，全場似乎進入了一個耶穌派對。不知道有多久的時間，人們不斷的用簡單的詩歌將耶穌的名高舉，用舞蹈、用全人宣告那是天下唯一可以靠著得救之名。人們常說在足球賽中或演唱會中的加油喊叫聲比在教會中的敬拜更激動，更全心全人全意，但今晚不一樣，似乎可以看見耶穌的寶座就在我們當中，不同膚色不同語言的人們就同心的尊榮我們的神…是的，萬口要承認，萬膝要跪拜，耶穌基督是主!
 
戴冕恩牧師接著帶全場一起宣告主禱文 ，當我們一再而再的宣告，帶著信心的宣告，彷彿就進入真實! 也好像當兵的人報到，我們都是神的選民，到神面前報到了! 神要我們禱告主禱文，因此主禱文一定要成就，只是到如今，我們好像都還沒看見神的國度降臨，神的旨意在地上成全。我們的生命好像沒有看到神的大能彰顯，但現在就是時候了，現在就是神的時間滿足的時後，現在就是神的國度要成就的日子!
 
再一次確認，這一個聚集是在呼召餘民的的聚集，呼召那些在暗夜中沒有睡的人; 這是第十一個時辰，最後預備的時間。這些已經在靈裡警醒，聽到神呼召的餘民，將在一起領受神在三天神要對我們說的話…..
