每一年,「先知性長老使徒會議」(ACPE)都會聚集來尋求主給當年的先知性話語。這是一個由公認且備受尊崇的先知們以使徒行傳十三章1-3節模式來運作的團隊。這段經文提到是聖靈在團隊中賜下共識的話語,而不是只出於一位先知的口。所以,儘管這是出於眾先知的編輯(我們每一位都把所領受的帶到圓桌會議上),ACPE成員們卻達成共識,認為聖靈正對我們說以下的先知性話語。
「先知性長老使徒會議」(ACPE)自1999年成立,今年我們首次邀請一群新興的青年領袖加入我們的行列。結果,我們經歷了可能是我們前所未有過最強有力尋求主的時間。會議結束時,傳承恩膏的時刻也展開。
當我們稱這是2011年的先知性話語時,我們需要明白預言成就的時間不會僅受限於日曆上一年的期限,這更多是指季節性的先知性話語。而且這也表示在某些情況下,人們順服的程度可能會延遲或改變聖靈在此時所讓我們看見的。
轉換的一年
這不是天門開啟的一年,就是大風暴的一年。數字 "11" 在聖經中有「轉換」之意。2011年是我們從一個地方轉換到另一個地方的一年。我們會在許多方面作一了結,而這就看我們如何回聖靈的引導。
2011將是面臨巨大壓力和壓迫的一年,尤其是前三個月,會顯得好像我們是在與邪惡勢力進行著近距離的爭戰。
一個轉折年
如果,在這壓力的季節中,我們軟弱且失去信心,局面將不會為我們效力且可能會導致巨大的損失和失敗。
狹窄的一年
數字 "11" 在地球上可比擬成像在西班牙和摩洛哥之間的直布羅陀海峽。有時,我們會感覺好像受到限制,但是唯有當我們在壓力中勝過這場考驗,這狹窄之路就會帶領我們到神為我們預備的嶄新之地。
產道
另一個主給我們的比喻是數字 "11" 就像是一個產道。嬰兒要出生必須從舒適的子宮通過產道不舒適的擠壓,新生命才能誕生出來。
作異夢
約瑟與他的11個哥哥分享他所做的夢,在創世記卅七章9節中記載,11顆星代表他哥哥們,而這夢導致他們的關係處於極度的緊張。今年,神會賜下異夢和異象,甚至在非常年輕的人身上。要留心人際關係上的壓力,並保守你的心純全正直。
遠大期待的一年
這一年,要期待那不預期的。希伯來書十一章11節是關鍵:「因著信,連撒拉自己,雖然過了生育的歲數,還能懷孕,因她以為那應許她的是可信的。」要期待神蹟!神要破除你生命中盼望延遲的荒蕪,許多人已經放棄了他們的夢想,而且因時間的緣故縮小了他們原本所相信的。神的國度是一個持續增長的國度,祂的心意是前進而不是後退。
這不是向神已經對你說的話妥協的時刻,要相信所有的事情都是可能的。神非人並不會說謊,如果祂說要做某件事,祂絕不會改變祂的心意。
預備的時刻,進入與神更親密的關係
在這轉換的一年,新的任務要交給那些在火一般試煉和考驗中沒有退後的人。要進入與神更深的關係中從祂的同在領受更新,這將會使你來到進展和恩膏的新境地。箴言二十章5節說:「人心懷藏謀略,好像深水,惟明哲人才能汲引出來。」
創造性的神蹟
神蹟的程度將因著創造主釋放創造性神蹟而增加,而這將直接與人本主義和理智主義相衝突。
大衛帳幕的重建
今年會再次大大看重敬拜。敬拜是關鍵!許多24小時敬拜禱告殿將在全世界各地興起,帶來許多國家上空天門開啟,許多靈魂將得救。這是收割的時刻!
使徒行傳十五章16-17節:「正如經上所寫的:此後,我要回來,重新修造大衛倒塌的帳幕,把那破壞的重新修造建立起來,叫餘剩的人,就是凡稱為我名下的外邦人,都尋求主。」
藝術/娛樂界要大收割
神非凡的運行將發生在娛樂和動畫工業中。剛強、嶄新、無愧的聲音將會興起,許多人會聆聽他們的見證。
給美國的話語
這國家來到了緊要關頭,這不是一個厭倦祈禱的時刻,而是行公義正直的時刻。不要讓這季節的壓力促使你退入娛樂消遣而非站穩在所處的環境中。
我們必須留意恐怖份子的攻擊,因為許多人都得到此方面的異夢和異象,其中的一個圖像是一個警句:「你預備好隆隆的砲火聲嗎?」這句話是在摔角愛好者在比賽開場時說的。這遠超過警告競賽者比賽將要開始,它也在群眾中創造出一種興奮的期待。神正在問今日美國的基督徒:「你預備好隆隆的砲火聲嗎?」這場競賽即將來到,當我們期待神在這片土地上展開下一波行動,需要有高度的興奮之情。
2011年是美國歷史上最關鍵的時刻之一,她的根基正在燃燒且在毀壞的危險之中。我們必須禁食禱告和採取非凡的手段「轆轆行駛」在天與地兩者之間。
第11個小時11-11-11
2011年11月11日,這日期在「第11個小時」的時間結構中有一個特別的重要性。約翰福音十一章11節:「耶穌說了這話,隨後對他們說:我們的朋友拉撒路睡了,我去叫醒他。」
美國「五月花號公約」於1620年11月11日簽訂,如今神正在尋找一個新世代的改革者,他們是在這緊迫的歷史時刻為了喚醒這國家而與神和人立約站立爭戰的人。
箴言十一章11節:「城因正直人祝福便高舉,卻因邪惡人的口就傾覆。」
世界
一個全球性由學生領導的志願運動正在世界各地展開。撒但正設法發動戰爭,如同牠在二十世紀初第一次學生志願運動時所做的。第一次世界大戰有效的停止了這場運動,因為學生們被派遣到戰場相互殘殺。我們必須禱告抵擋第三次世界大戰的爆發,因為撒但想要為牠的目的逐步提升全球性事件。
詩篇一一○篇3節:「當你掌權的日子(或譯:行軍的日子),你的民……甘心犧牲自己;你的民多如清晨的甘露(或譯:你少年時光要如清晨的甘露)。」
韓國
神命定最大的宣教運動之一將從韓國釋放出來直到地極,韓國需要特別的禱告。我們也強烈感覺到李明博總統應該堅定站立抵擋北韓的攻擊。
中東
如果我們不開始為中東地區代禱,一個更加擴展的逼迫會興起抵擋基督徒。然而,在敘利亞、埃及、沙烏地阿拉伯將會有一個屬神的年輕人運動,他們雖置於死也不愛惜自己的生命。
經濟
我們必須禱告抵擋極度通貨膨脹,它將會扼殺人們奉獻世界宣教的能力。
智慧財產
一個更大和新的財富將會從神所賜的創意並以智慧財產的形式而來。一種嶄新的、創意的創造性恩膏將賞賜給那些懂得使用這財富來推展神國度的人。
兒童
兒童大覺醒正要瀕臨全世界,兒童佈道家將開始在眾教會和大型活動場所中講道,數以千計的人要得救和得醫治。

2011 ACPE Word of the Lord
Each year, the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE) meets to seek the Lord for the prophetic word. This is a team of respected prophets who have the conviction that they are an Acts 13:1-3 model. This passage notes that it was the Holy Spirit giving the word as a consensus among the group and not just to one prophet. So, even though this is a compilation of the prophecies that we have each brought to the round table meeting, it was the general consensus of the ACPE members that the Holy Spirit was speaking the following prophetic words to us.
The ACPE has met now since 1999. This year, for the first time, we invited a group of emerging young leaders to join us. As a result, we probably had the most powerful time of seeking the Lord that we have ever known. At the end of the meeting, a time of impartation took place.
While we are calling this a prophecy for 2011, it is to be understood that the time frames for the fulfillment of prophecies cannot only be confined to a calendar year period, thus this constitutes more of a seasonal prophetic word.
It is also a given that, in some cases, the obedience of the people to respond can either delay, change, or alter what we have seen by the Spirit during this time.
The Year of Transitions
This will either be a year of open heavens or a year of the perfect storm.
The number 11 has the Biblical meaning of transitions. 2011 is the year where we are transitioning from one place to another. Where we will end up at the end of this time depends, in many regards, on how we respond to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
2011 will be a year of great pressure and stress, particularly, the first three months when it will seem as if we are in a toe-to-toe battle with the forces of evil.
This is a Tipping Point Year
If, in the middle of the pressure of the season, we faint and lose heart, the scale will tip away from us and there is a possibility of great loss and defeat.
The Year of the Straits
The number 11 can be likened to places in the earth such as the Straits of Gibraltar between Spain and Morocco. We will, at times, feel constricted, but the narrowing of the way will only cause us to go to the new place that God has for us in the season if we do not fail the test during the pressure.
The Birth Canal
Another analogy that the Lord gave us was the number 11 is like a birth canal. The baby being born is going from the comfort of the womb to the stress and discomfort of being born into a new, large life.
Dreaming Dreams
Joseph shared his dreams with his 11 brothers; represented by 11 stars in Genesis 37:9 and it caused great relational stress. God will pour out a season of dreams and visions this year even among the very young. Watch out for relational stress and keep your heart right in the middle of it.
The Year of Great Expectations
Expect the unexpected in this coming year.
Hebrews 11:11 is key: By faith, Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.
Expect a miracle! God wants to break the barrenness in your life of hope deferred. Many have given up on their dreams and downsized what they believe for because of the times. God's Kingdom is an ever-increasing Kingdom and He is for advance and not retreat.
This is not a time to compromise what God has said to you, but rather to believe that all things are possible. God is not a man that He would lie. If He said he would do something, He has not changed His mind.
A Time of Preparation, Going Deeper into God and Intimacy
New assignments will be passed out in this year of transition for those who do not draw back in the season of testing and fire. Go deeper in God and draw refreshing from His presence and you will make it to your new place of advancement and anointing.
Proverbs 20:5: Knowing what is right is like deep water in the heart; a wise person draws from the well within.
Creative Miracles
The level of the miraculous will increase with the Creator loosing miracles of creation that will directly oppose the spirits of humanism and intellectualism.
The Restoration of the Tabernacle of David
Great emphasis will be upon worship again this year. Worship is the key! Many new 24-hour houses of worship will spring up across the world and result in an open heaven over nations and many souls saved. It is harvest time!
Acts 15:16-17: After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up; So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who are called by My Name, says the Lord who does all things.
Great Harvest of those in the Arts/Entertainment Field
Extraordinary moves of God will occur in the entertainment and motion picture industry. Bold, new, unashamed voices will arise and many will listen to their testimonies.
Word for the United States
The nation hangs in the balance and this is not a time to grow weary of praying and acting on behalf of righteousness and justice. Don't let the pressure of the season cause you to retreat into entertainment rather than standing on top of what is happening around you.
We must watch for terrorist attacks as many are having dreams and visions of coming attacks.
One of the illustrations given to us was the phrase, "Are you ready to rumble?" This is used among wrestling aficionados as the match begins. It does more than alert the contestants that the match will start; it also creates an excited expectation in the crowd. God is asking the Christians in America today, "Are you ready to rumble?" The game is at hand and there needs to be a climax of excitement as we anticipate God's next move in the land.
2011 is one of the most critical years in the nation's history and the foundations are burning and are in danger of being destroyed. We must fast and pray and take extraordinary measures to "rumble" both the heavens and the earth.
The Eleventh Hour 11-11-11
This date will have a special significance in this "eleventh hour" time frame.
John 11:11 says: Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep, but I go that I may awaken him from slumber.
The Mayflower Compact was signed on 11-11, 1620 and God is looking for a new generation of reformers who will make a covenant with God and others to stand and fight to awaken this nation in this dire moment of history.
Proverbs 11:11: By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
World
There is a worldwide student-led volunteer movement being birthed across the face of the earth. Satan is going to try and start wars such as he did when the first student volunteer movement started around the turn of the 20th century. World War I effectually shut down the movement as students went to war at times against each other. We must pray against the starting of a third world war, as satan wants to escalate world events for His purposes.
Psalm 110:3: In the day of Your power your youth shall be volunteers.
Korea
Particular prayer needs to take place for Korea as one of the greatest missions movements is destined to come out of this nation that will go to the ends of the earth.
We also strongly felt that President Lee should stand firm against North Korea's aggression.
Middle East
A more widespread persecution will arise against the Believers if we do not begin to intercede for the Middle East. However, there will be a move of God of the youth in nations such as Syria, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia who will not love their lives unto death.
Economy
We must intercede against hyperinflation that will strangle the ability of people of give to world missions.
Intellectual Properties
A great release of new wealth will come from ideas given from God in the form of intellectual properties. A new creative anointing of ideas for those who will use the wealth for the advancement of God's Kingdom.
Children
We are on the verge of a great Children's Awakening that will span the globe. Child evangelists will begin to preach in churches and large arenas and thousand will be saved and healed.
