Prophecy for 2012: The Year of Change and Breakthrough
January 1st, 2012
(Excerpt)
2012 is a Year of Change and Breakthroughs.

The Widow's Offering (Mark 12:41-44 NIV)
 41
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and
watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many
rich people threw in large amounts.
42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

It was a very short dream. I only saw the back profile of Jesus and knew He was there, seems to be sitting down or in a kneeling position like the Japanese. He had another 'disciple' with Him, seems to be a male figure, not sure. The gist of the dream is that He asked me who killed Him while He was on the earth. I thought to myself it's the religious leaders of that time. He then said out my unspoken thought. It is the Pharisees and religious leaders of that time that instigated His death. Then I saw a violin bow, and a scissors cutting across the lower end of the bow hair so that the hair are completely loosened from the bow. He then said, those who teach others what to do but don't do it themselves at all are like this bow, they cannot be used, just like a bow with loosened hair cannot play the violin by a violinist. Even if it is a master violinist, it is still no use. I can relate to this well because I myself learned and play the violin for a great number of years. And actually some of my string hair fell sometime ago, maybe like 15% of them. I can still play, but obviously not as loud as I'd like to. I can imagine if all the hairs are gone, what's the use of the bow?
第四個看見耶穌的異夢. 這次的夢很短, 我只看見祂的背影輪廓. 祂以坐著或類似日本人跪著的姿勢, 旁邊還有一位或兩位"門徒"和祂在一起. 夢的大意是, 主問我當祂在地上時, 是誰預謀了祂的死刑. 我心裡想著, 是當時的宗教領袖. 耶穌彷彿聽見我心裡未說出的回答, 接著我說, 是祂時期的那些法利賽人和宗教領袖殺了祂. 然後我看見一把小提琴弓, 然後有一把剪刀, 從弓的最底部把弓毛都剪斷, 弓毛就全鬆開了. 主就說, 那些只會叫人去做自己卻不動手的人, 就像是一把斷毛的弓, 是個完全無法被祂使用的器皿. 再利害的提琴大師也無法使用一把完全沒有弓髮的弓. 這點對我個人來說是非常清楚的, 因為我學了小提琴多年. 事實上, 前一陣子我的小提琴弓毛才掉了一些, 因為掉的不多還能用, 但也可感覺到拉出的聲音比較小. 但誰能拉奏一把弓毛全掉的弓呢?

Years ago I've posted a detailed blog on spiritual dreams and their interpretation. The interpretation applies to vision as well. Since my blog site has been changed from MSN Spaces to Wordpress, many of the links are not working, so here they are again.
 
聖經異夢和解夢原則簡介
Biblical Dreams & Interpretation
 
Note that even the revisions are over 4 years old, I could have used better examples, and new perspectives could be added. But the main ideas are still there.
 
Here just want to point out a few things about the interpretation part. There are some people whom God speaks more through dreams. It's just one of the ways that speak to different individuals. Just as some may receive more visions than others, or some may tend to hear God through spiritual voices or heart impressions. NEVER COMPARE OR BELITTLE ONE ANOTHER, both spiritual and natural talents. The way of God's kind of love is never to be jealous or proud, but to appreciate one another's gifts and learn to work together in meekness of heart. Our reward and progress in God is NOT measured in terms of the greatness or type of our gifting, but by our GROWTH IN LOVE and FAITHFULNESS. In other words, in what God has called us to BE--becoming the personification of love like Jesus Himself--and in what God has called us to DO--as Jesus completed what God the Father assigned Him to do.
There are some with a special gift to be able to view the dreams of others. Daniel was gifted in that. Through this particular dream gift, he was able to see King Nebu's forgotten dreams. And I do know people today who function in this special gift. There is a gift of interpretation of dreams and visions, which is similar to the interpretation of tongues. For example, Joseph has the gift of interpretation of dreams. But not all who have more visions and dreams have the gift of interpretation. In fact, most people I know who are more inclined to visions do not have the gift of interpretation. Even those who could see the dreams of others can miss the interpretation because it is just seeing the dreams but not interpreting them. However, the ability to interpret can be acquired through spiritual wisdom, knowledge, and experiences. In some circumstances, even those with the gift of interpretation like Daniel, it will take time before the understanding is given.
This is the reason for this post and the problem of many Christians today. They may receive the dreams and visions correctly, but the more complicated part is the interpretation. Sometimes they get part of the interpretation right, but partly off, sometimes they get mostly right, but sometimes they would miss the whole message of the dream because the interpretation was off in bulk.
The links posted in the beginning of this article explain in detail the biblical principles of interpretation. I know in reality, it is not easy to interpret even when familiar with the principles. If possible, try consulting people who understand in this area. But once again I know, not many people are equipped in this area, even ministers. So in many cases, what one can do is to read books, articles, teachings, prophecies with interpretation of mature prophetic voices, pastors and teachers. Re-read and study the principles, and read the examples and application of mature fivefolds (preferably prophets and teachers, as the former would have more experiences, and the latter can teach better). The interpretation is important not in itself, but for the sake of application. All dreams and visions would die prematurely if not applied, no matter how spectacular they may be. Be you doers and not only hearers of the Word. This is why, the interpretation is so vitally important and needed in the Body of Christ today. It's alright when the interpretation don't come immediately. Many important dreams take a long time to really see, even years. Remember Joseph dreamed about what would happen to him, his family, and the entire fate of the Israelites when he was 17. His dreams only came to pass 13 years later!! Be patient to continue to seek God the interpretation and right timing, the Holy Spirit would teach through various means.
God bless!  : )

妳提起的是否「一次得救就永遠得救」的問題, 就如妳說的是個很大的議題, 很多的神學家、牧者、和教派都有不同的觀點. 據我所知, 就算是靈糧堂裡面的牧者也是會有不同的看法的(但因這不是核心教義, 所以分歧沒關係). 所以這個問題也不是短短篇幅就能完全深入討論. 不過大體來看, 有相信一次得救永遠得救的一派, 而另一端則是相信救恩在一些狀況有可能失去. 這兩個相反的觀點因為似乎都有足夠經文的支持, 所以此問題一直是兩千年教會歷史極爭議的問題.
我的個人看法是, 通常真理比較是在兩個極端的中間. 如果根據希伯來書6:4-6、10:26、約一5:16, 一為重生得救的信徒是有可能失去救恩的. 仔細即一致性的去看上述經文, 不太容易把它們解釋成是在描述一位非基督徒. 例: 「弟兄」明顯指信徒、「我們」上下文指信徒、「蒙了光照、嘗過天恩的滋味、又於聖靈有分、並嘗過神善道的滋味、覺悟來世權能的人」等 字句, 很明顯是指一位重生得救的信徒. 這些是相信救恩是能夠失去的支持者他們的貢獻, 忠於聖經. 但相信會永遠得救的一方的貢獻是, 儘管救恩是能夠失去的, 但救恩卻不會輕易的失去. 有點像褻瀆聖靈的罪, 如果一位信徒不想冒犯聖靈, 他們就不會犯褻瀆聖靈的罪, 因為真正褻瀆聖靈的人, 並不會在乎他們是否冒犯聖靈了, 就如耶穌時代的很多法利賽人.
