0903 我要你在灰燼之上跳舞
仇敵曾攻擊你的每一個地方,都是你未來得勝的地方,是為你可以歌唱我得勝之愛所預備的舞台,也是一個將你帶入我奇妙恢復的發射台。當你邀請我進入你的痛苦,每一次創傷都能被轉化為無比強大的力量。
親愛的,仇敵痛恨他的計劃發生意外,他寧願把你擊倒,並讓你一直倒下;但當你行走在我愛的最高現實中時,沒有任何事能夠把你永遠壓倒。如果你牽着我的手,我會帶領你登上山的最高峰,在那裡,你的笑聲將回蕩在曾經埋葬你枯骨的每一個山谷。但首先,我們要停下來,在灰燼之上跳舞。我們將把復活生命的種子播撒在看似死寂荒蕪之地。愛的每一步以及恩典的每一次流動,都將釋放出盼望與喜樂的復蘇。儘管你曾目睹失去與毀滅,但生命將不顧一切【阻礙】重新煥發生機。
我被差遣去宣告耶和華恩典的新季節,以及神懲罰報應仇祂的敵的時刻;並去安慰一切悲傷的人,堅固那些被絕望壓碎而在錫安哀哭的人——賜給他們美麗的花束代替灰燼,喜樂油代替眼淚,以及歡樂讚美的外袍代替沉重的靈。——以賽亞書 61:2–3
0903 I want you to dance upon the ashes
Every place where the enemy has come against you is a place for future victory, a stage set for you to sing of my triumphant love, a launching pad into my magnificent restoration. Every trauma can be turned into a place of exorbitant strength when you invite me into your pain.
Beloved, the enemy hates when his plans backfire. He’d rather knock you out and keep you out, but when you walk in the highest reality of my love, nothing can hold you down forever. If you take my hand, I will lead you to the mountain peaks, where your laughter will echo into every valley that once held your dry bones. But first, we will stop and dance upon the ashes. We will sow the seeds of resurrection life into what appears dead and desolate. Each step of love and every movement of grace will release a resurgence of hope and joy. Though you have witnessed loss and destruction, life will come forth despite it all.
I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zion–to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness. –ISAIAH 61:2-3
