10月5日和12日IHOPKC華人社區禱告會IHOPKC Chinese Community Prayer Meeting on Oct. 5th &12th
For English version please scroll down. It is attached behind the Chinese article.
從今年三月開始，我就被感動領受到集體的謙卑悔改的禱告，4月有在華人社區聚會分享（閱讀講義點擊這裡）。但是在後來幾個月愈演愈烈的震動中，我也不知道神要怎麽做到這件事。只能一直在為這個領受禱告。
現在，震動還在繼續，讓我對神主權完全的敬畏。在這樣的時刻，我很感恩看到一群爸爸們站了起來。9月中他們聯系到我，原本只是關心我這個季節的教導信息和在禱告殿中的負擔，後來他們也開始分享，我有幸見證到他們懷著單純的愛心來更火熱回應神，Uncle Jerry等長輩們帶著為父的心主動招聚華人社區，像父親那樣招聚家人聚到一起，想要大家一起彼此扶持一起尋求神。我很阿門這個感動，於是當Uncle Jerry跟我說，「我們（弟兄）想有每週一次的社區禱告會，我們想從這個禮拜開始！」我就開始預約房間，並發出邀請，也有告知禱告殿領袖Joseph Taylor並得到他的祝福。
10月5日晚上7點，在禱告殿的社區聚集結束之後，我們在禱告殿多功能教室有了三個月以來第一次華人社區禱告會。由於是三個也來第一次，我們的分享時間比較長（以後是以禱告為主）。其中有一些閃光點：
撕裂心腸的禱告 來到神面前：
謙卑；悔改；放下我們自己的策略；對齊神的心意。
一起學習神的話語 和 神給國際禱告殿的核心信息，最重要的是讓這些信息成為我們的生活的實際，在我們個人、家庭里面經歷神的轉化和醫治。
撕裂心腸 面對彼此 ：
禱告會，不僅是彼此關心近況、彼此代禱 ，更要認出神里面每個人的身份 hold each other accountable，為彼此的呼召代禱守望。不少弟兄姊妹渴望我們成為真正的家人，不是事工導向的。
追求聖潔，定意“願我口中的話語和心里的意念，蒙神的悅納”。讓神的聖潔來潔凈並醫治這片土地、這個社區、我們的家庭和我們自己的生命。
也學習如何成為一個和神心意的24/7祭司職分的社區，如何按照祂的旨意來生活、來健康運轉，彼此扶持，特別支持我們中間的代禱者敬拜者。
耶和華說：「至於我，與他們所立的約乃是這樣：我加給你的靈，傳給你的話，必不離你的口，也不離你後裔與你後裔之後裔的口，從今直到永遠。」這是耶和華說的。（以賽亞書59:21）
萬物的結局近了。所以，你們要謹慎自守，警醒禱告。 最要緊的是彼此切實相愛，因為愛能遮掩許多的罪。（彼得前書4:7-8）
來吧，我們歸向耶和華！他撕裂我們，也必醫治；他打傷我們，也必纏裹。 過兩天他必使我們甦醒，第三天他必使我們興起，我們就在他面前得以存活。 我們務要認識耶和華，竭力追求認識他。他出現確如晨光，他必臨到我們像甘雨，像滋潤田地的春雨。（何西阿書6:1-3）
分享中Uncle Peter提到2018年匯聚聚集，那之後聖靈感動IHOPKC領袖進入reset重置，但真正的reset好像現在才真正開始。巧合的是，我前幾天被感動去重讀匯集之後我寫的總結（閱讀2018匯集完整總結點擊這裡），我發現戴勉恩牧師在最後有一個全球代禱呼求：
戴冕恩牧師呼籲全球家人特別在未來這三個月（拉10:9）為國際禱告殿家人們禱告，使他們各就各位，父親的心轉向兒女，兒女的心轉向父親；讓為父為母的充滿愛，謙卑與包容、剛強站立，成為皇族兒女的堅強後盾。我們禱告神家的尊榮文化要落實在國際禱告殿，使這樣的轉化更新，能透過與國際禱告殿各樣的連接，傳到列國的禱告殿和屬神的兒女當中。
在這個由一群爸爸呼籲而出的禱告會中，好像匯集之後的種子終於破土而出了，真正的reset重置，真正的為父的心要出來，不再是father of vision異象的父親，而是father of family家庭的父親。我們要一起學習天父的心和天父的愛。
但這個種子剛剛發芽，求神親自看顧，求神親自做新事。不是事工，不是重複過去的模式，不是靠我們的經驗和眼界，而是單純尋求神、順服神、彼此切實相愛，這個禱告會就是我們給神空間，讓神來通過我們做新事。
後記：
10月12日我們再次聚集在一起禱告。從敬拜開始，一起開口禱告。在聖靈的感動下，大家一小時禱告的焦點圍繞在天父的心、天父的愛、求神做一件新事在我們中間，特別堅固我們中的弟兄們。同樣的感動被放在大家心裡，不少弟兄姊妹在流淚禱告呼求神來轉化我們個人的生命、我們的家庭和社區。
歡迎有感動的家人一起來每週六7pm的華人禱告會一起禱告。因故暫時不能來的家人也請為神在我們中的心意來守望禱告。

IHOPKC Chinese Community Prayer Meeting on Oct. 5th &12th
Introduction:
Since March this year, I have been moved in the Spirit and received the urgency of corporate prayers with humility, contrite heart and repentance. In April, I shared this message in the monthly Chinese community gathering (click here for the handout). But as the shaking intensified in the following months, I didn’t know how God was going to do this, but keep praying for it.
Now, the shaking continues, leaving me in complete awe of God's sovereignty, and I am grateful to see a group of dads standing up for such a time like this. They contacted me in mid-September. Originally they wanted to hear about my service in the house of prayer and my vision for this season, but later they became sharing. It’s a pleasure for me to witness that they responded to God more passionately with pure love. Uncle Jerry and a few elders took the initiative to gather the Chinese community with a father's heart, gathering family members together like a father, hoping that everyone could truly support each other in Christ and seek God together. I was very moved and I said Amen to this call, so when Uncle Jerry told me the brothers are ready and asked me to book room and send out notice, I immediately started to reserve a room and sent out invitations. I also informed the leader of the IHOPKC, Joseph Taylor, and received his blessing.
Summary of Oct 5th Meeting:
At 7 pm on October 5, after the IHOPKC Service, we had the first Chinese community prayer meeting within the past three months in MPR. Since it was our first time, our sharing took a longer time (in future it will be mainly prayer). Here are some highlights:
Tear our heart to pray to God:
Humility; repentance; letting go of our own strategies and agenda; aligning ourselves with God's will.
Let’s study God’s word and God’s core message to the International House of Prayer. The most important thing is to make these messages become the reality of our lives and first experience God’s transformation and healing in our personal life and biological families.
Tear our heart to face each other:
Prayer meetings are not only about caring about each other's current situation and praying for each other, but also about recognizing the identity of each person in God, holding each other accountable, and praying for and calling forth each other's callings. Many brothers and sisters shared during the meeting that they long for us to become a real family, not ministry-oriented.
Pursue holiness and resolve to “May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable to God.” Allow God’s holiness to cleanse and heal this land, this community, our families, and our own lives.
Also learn how to be a biblical 24/7 community of priesthood with Godly lifestyle and divine operational strategy, supporting each other and supporting the intercessors and worshipers in our midst.
21 “As for Me,” says the Lord, “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the Lord, “from this time and forevermore.”(Isaiah 59:21)
7 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. 8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”(1 Peter 4:7-8)
Come, and let us return to the Lord; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up.2 After two days He will revive us;On the third day He will raise us up,That we may live in His sight.3 Let us know,Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.His going forth is established as the morning;He will come to us like the rain,Like the latter and former rain to the earth. (Hosea 6:1-3)
Reminding of 2018 Convergence:
During the sharing, Uncle Peter mentioned that after the Convergence gathering in 2018, the Holy Spirit touched IHOPKC leaders to do a reset, but the real reset seems to have only begun now. Coincidentally, a few days ago I was moved to re-read the summary I wrote after the Convergence (click here for the full summary of the 2018 Convergence), I was reminded that Pastor Damian made a global prayer call at the end of the gathering:
Pastor David Damian calls on families around the world to pray for the families of the International House of Prayer especially in the next three months (Ezra 10:9), so that they can be in their proper places, and that the hearts of fathers turn to their children, and the hearts of children turn to their fathers; let fathers and mothers full with love, humble and tolerant, standing firmly, becoming a strong backing for the children of the royal family. We pray that the honorable culture of God’s house will be implemented in the International House of Prayer, so that this transformation and renewal can be spread to the prayer halls and children of God in all countries through various connections with the International House of Prayer.
In this prayer meeting called by a group of fathers, it seemed that the seeds that had been sowed in the Convergence finally broke through the ground. A real reset, a true father's heart was about to come out. This time, they will no longer be fathers of vision, but the fathers of family. We will learn what is the heart of our Heavenly Father and His love.
However, this seed has just sprouted, far away from the mature fullness. Please keep us in prayer that God will take care of it and do something new. It is not about repeating past patterns, or relying on our experience and vision, but simply seeking God, obeying God, truly loving each other, and letting God do new things through us.
Oct 12th Prayer Meeting
On October 12th we gathered together again to pray. We started by worshiping and led by the Spirit to gradually focus on praying for the heart of the Father, the love of the Father, and asking God to do a new thing among us, especially to strengthen the brothers among us. The similar revelation was placed in everyone's heart, and many brothers and sisters were praying with tears and calling on God to transform our personal lives, our families, and our communities.You are welcome to join us!
Families and friends who are touched by the Spirit with similar vision are welcome to come and pray together at the Chinese prayer meeting every Saturday at 7pm. Those who cannot come temporarily for some reason are also welcomed to watch and pray for God’s will among us!
May God’s grace strengthen us all!
