Greater Grace is Coming!

““For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen. Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.” When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all. For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.” (Acts‬ ‭4:27-35‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In a post from months ago, I had shared that Pharaoh’s dream of the seven fat cows and seven skinny cows have an end-time prophetic meaning of seven years of plenty before the Rapture and seven years of severe famine during the seven years of Tribulation.

“Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh. The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one. The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine. That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt. There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land, and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous. The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.” (Genesis‬ ‭41:25-32‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

I believe we are in/entering that season of seven plentiful years.

In the seven plentiful years, we are going to see things like the early church experienced, but at a much greater magnitude. It is the Lord’s final harvest of souls before the Rapture.

We will see:

- Bold believers rise up to win souls and amazing miracles happening when they preach the Gospel.

- The world shaken by the Holy Spirit and a huge outpouring of the Spirit upon all flesh. Even unbelievers will receive dreams and visions from God and experience His power.

- A new level of unity and love among the body of Christ.

- A prosperous church that shares her wealth with those in need; the wealth of the nations will be transferred to believers.

We are not going to leave this world as a bruised, battered, cowering church. We will be prospering in all things together and prepared as a radiant bride for the Lord. This is the effect of us collectively receiving more revelation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

“But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day.” (Proverbs‬ ‭4:18‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The path of the righteous (believers) will shine more and more until the perfect day.

“For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death. For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:25-26, 53-55‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The last enemy that will be put under Jesus’ feet and abolished is death. This means that before the Rapture, all other enemies would be under the feet of the body of Christ. This includes sickness, aging, weakness, poverty, broken relationships, and all types of bondages that have plagued the church throughout history.

We would be so full of life that the only thing remaining is to be clothed with our glorified body and meet Jesus in the air.

Are you excited about the seven years of plenty? If the early church experienced great grace, the end-time church before the Rapture will experience greater grace! Don’t just be a spectator—ask Him to let you participate in a significant way, to bringing about good change for His kingdom!

One revelation that the body of Christ will grow in is this: receiving supernatural youth renewal to live young, healthy, strong, and beautiful like Jesus. I believe that “Younger and Younger” (the eBook and audio) are being used to enlighten believers about this part of our inheritance that is often neglected. Join me on a 31-day youth renewal journey to meet a new you—it is a transformation that everyone can see:

Break Free From Regrets

“Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians‬ ‭3:12-14‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

To whoever is battling with regrets about the past, I want to encourage you with this message.

Someone once asked me seriously if he could go back to the past to change a mistake that he made. The mistake is currently causing some bad consequences in his life.

The truth is, there is no such thing as returning to the past. There are no parallel universes either—if not, will all versions of people stand before Jesus’ throne for judgment at the end of time?

The only reality is here and now. You are the only version of you—uniquely made by God. Yes, God sees the past, present, and future, but every person can only really be in one place at one time.

No matter what has happened in the past, good or bad, press on and forget the things which are behind.

Treat it like today is day one of your new life. Every day is a fresh beginning to walk with the Lord.

God is so good that He can restore you with much more/better than what you lost in the past.

The first step to healing from a trauma suffered in the past is to decide to press on and look forward from now on.

“Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭WEB)

Cast your burden of regret into the Lord Jesus’ hands—He cares for you. Turn away from the hurt and look into Jesus’ smiling face.

You cannot run freely when there is a heavy boulder strapped to your ankle. Let that regret go and experience the peace, lightness, and freedom.

“But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day.” (Proverbs‬ ‭4:18‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

There is a race, we run by grace, and there are prizes to be won. God placed a high calling in you. The future is bright and glorious so keep looking forward from now on. Things will get better!

Did you know that God has a plan to prosper you in all things through His restoration? In “All Things Made New”, you will find strong encouragement and comfort based on restoration truths from the Bible, causing you to look forward to a better future: https://bit.ly/prosper-through-restoration

來自香港的插畫師黑山（Kathy Lam），曾在英國留學主修插畫，喜歡描畫動物，也因此創作出不少以貓為題的作品。她筆下的貓咪糅合了人類的情感投射及生活方式，隻隻性格鮮明，形象生動有趣。

黑山於2020年給自己立下個每日畫畫的小挑戰，一年後挑戰成功，更將插畫集結成書，推出了「365日塗鴉畫冊」（編輯自己也買了一本，不是業配😼）。除畫冊外，黑山不時會推出各種周邊商品，也是非常可愛，有興趣者不妨追蹤這位插畫師 @dawning_crow 。

〈The Light feat.後藤 正文〉
Arranger: 鄭宇辰 ORio Cheng & 滅火器 Fire Ex.
Lyrics & Composition: 楊大正 Sam Yang & 後藤正文 Masafumi Gotoh
OP：SPACE SHOWER MUSIC
ISRC Code：TWBF32011001

揺れる向日葵 君の手を確かめた
あの日のイエロー

街を埋めた雨傘 握る手を称え合った
あの日のイエロー

それぞれ　もどかしさを 分かち合うしかないけれど

届けて その光 照らして 月明かり
君らしく歩めよヒーロー

灯して 今ここに 燃やしてよ 心に
つながれば僕らの希望

遠く東の空に 同じ陽が昇る朝を 眺めて

誰かの小さな勇気が 僕の背中を少し押す
遠く向こうの椅子に座る少女
飛び交う弾丸 涙目の少年

僕らは過去から何を学ぶ 君は現在に何を描く
未来は僕らの手の中 未来は僕らの手の中

届けて その光　照らして 街明かり
君らしく歩めよヒーロー

灯して 今ここに 燃やしてよ 心に
つながれば僕らの希望

遠く東の空に 同じ陽が昇る朝を 眺めて

求めて

Hand in hand now together we sing a song

The smile on your face
brightens up the dawning sky

Watching the sunrise from now on
fear no more

Come on future
We are ready to go! Yeah!

[ 中譯 ]

搖曳的向日葵
我輕觸你的手
這是那天的黃色

覆蓋整街的雨傘
我們握起手相互慶祝
這是那天的黃色

我們只能彼此分享著
屬於彼此的遺憾

讓那道光傳遞出去吧
讓月光照亮著我們吧
踏出屬於你的步伐吧，英雄

現在就在這點起這盞燈吧
把心中的火點燃吧
若能彼此連結就能有希望

讓我們在同一個早晨
眺望遙遠東方的天空
緩緩升起的朝陽

是誰的小小的勇氣
從背後輕輕推了我一把
遠方的椅子上坐著一位少女
交錯飛行的子彈 淚眼汪汪的少年

我們從過去學到什麼
你現在又在描繪著什麼呢？
未來就在我們的手中
未來就在我們的手中
