False Prophets

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

一個原本一上帝為中心的文明和社會，最終腐敗，其中一個症狀就是先知和祭司的墮落。這兩個呼召之間有著緊密的關係。另外一處耶利米書5章卅一節前半端說，“ 就是先知說假預言，祭司藉他們把持權柄”。這些聖職員之間有類似兄弟會成員那樣的關係，或許他們曾經確實有呼召，不過隨著時間的推移他們由於不謹守而逐漸流失，以至於最終腐敗，現而達成一種相互的協議，使他們彼此肯定，可是所達成的協議，所肯定的事物卻是謊言，是錯謬的。本來是屬靈形式，後來則流於宗教形式，而其慘重的後果就是國家的道德淪落。祭司如何，人民也如何，先知如何，祭司也如何。所以一定要一再地強調祭司職分之作用在神的教會，神的社會，神的以色列中的主要性和意義重大。

真先知

在我印象中未曾公開講過假先知，可是現在時間到了，不得不講這個樣的信息。但由於今天早上的情况，主帶領我首先分享真先知所具有的特徵。這樣就能夠有一個基礎來比較真先知與假先知。首先我們必須清楚地勾勒先知的恩賜與職分的區別。我們因為不夠成熟所以兩者之間沒有清楚的區分辨認。今天我要特別聚焦在先知的職分上。具有先知恩賜的人多之又多，但是具有先知職分的人寥寥無幾。我們應該要有心理準備來認出，期待及迎接它的來臨。這個職分涉及到一個人，而此職分也是一種長久性的。故此，不能像開關般，一下開，一下關。這位賦有先知職分的人要歷盡砥礪，熬煉及陶冶來扮演這一角色。

Apostolic and Prophetic Foundations

Saturday, December 18th, 2010

As we enter a decade of enormous challenge, uncertainty and shaking, I am assured that the church stands in great need of prophetic and apostolic foundations with men of that calling giving directive voices. How many of us have recognized that we have come to the end of our charismatic, pentecostal and evangelical tethers? Do we have a sense that there is a further dimension which eclipses all that we have known and had hoped in, but we do not know how to identify, or even find it?

True and False Prophets

Friday, December 17th, 2010

I trust that you share with me the increasing sense of importance that this subject bears. Up until now, I have borne with some patience and even amusement the number of those who currently label themselves “prophetic” and the popularity that this calling now enjoys, which has been contrary to my own experience. It seemed another one of those “fads” that sooner or later would fade away.
