雷克‧喬納(Rick Joyner,美籍國度性先知)曾於2002年10月下旬受邀前來台灣「末日決戰特會」中分享,並且發出以下的先知性話語。雖事隔多年,本站編者深感此刻是為這話語和神對台灣的心意與計畫更多尋求和守望的時刻,故再次刊登本文。台灣正站在一個轉換的位置,讓我們個人與國家都能站定在神量給我們的角色上,一路與祂同行。

一、在異象中,我看見台灣變成一艘大船,是堅固的商船,其上也有一些武器,但基本上是商船、貨船、而非軍艦。這船在忽藍忽綠、忽綠忽藍很美麗的海面上航行。我看到這艘船因有碰撞,船帆與船身破損,好像是由於經濟因素,不如以前走得快,非常需要修護。她無法自主而開始隨風向來航行,這水流將她帶向一個港口(我猜想是香港,雖然我未去過),這船真的是不想進入這港口,但是水流強迫她一定要進去,但這真的是一件最好的解決方法。有意思的是,這港口竟然也正向這船靠近,這兩個好像要遇在一起,直到終於這船進到這個港口。很快地,這船就得著修復且比以前更大、更堅固,能夠很快的再返回海上,而這艘船從港口出來時,船後有兩條粗纜繩,把中國大陸帶到開放的海洋中。夢中,我印象非常深的是,當這船進到這個港口時並沒有被吞滅,且仍保有它的獨特性。反而變得更大更有力。
在異象異夢中,船經常是指領導階層。這島上有一個領導的恩膏,你蒙召是要來航行,這個船是很堅固的,就表示這個領導很強,大有能力。我相信這個領導性不但是指教會,也是指政治與經濟。你可能將經歷一段艱困的時期,但主給這個島是領導性的,若沒有這個領導性,在經歷艱困時你們將會更痛苦。 所以,你們不要放棄,台灣是蒙召作領導的。
而在此時有一個重要的連結發生,我感到台灣是被預備去幫助中國,主呼召這裡多人成為經濟界的領袖。台灣過去這些年在領導階層的成長是要將中國整個帶出來。你們有一個清楚呼召是對於中國的。可能在經濟上或其他方面,當你們真正合在一起時,不是勉強的,也不是軍事上面的聯合。而是在一個對的時機兩邊自然而然的合在一起。不需急促,要慢慢在時間的帶領上,使每一步都走得正確。因著你能夠幫助中國,因此成為一個更強大的力量。我感到中國是台灣許多經濟問題的答案,神使台灣成為中國許多問題的答案,而中國也是台灣很多問題的答案。在這一個異象裡,我們要撇開軍事和政治的因素,單單來看經濟的因素。 我所知道的就是這樣合在一起是好的,而且雙方都受益。失去自由的恐懼不會臨到你們,你們將保有你們的自由,且持續保有你們的領導地位。我所講的是整個圖像的一部份,而不是全部。 但我有非常強烈的感動,要向各位分享這個異象。我相信在我們中間或與我們有關聯的人,在將來會成為強有力的領導人之一。你的前途是非常光明,我相信我們中間有許多人蒙召要對這個國家的屬靈方面產生極大的影響力,來推動這個國家走向正確的方向。
昨天我提到啟示錄第七章,地上四風指軍事、政治、宗教、和經濟四階段。在宗教的階段是宗教掛帥,所以宗教的人就做領導。 在這之前是軍事的時候,征服者就有極大的權柄。在這兩個階段之間是政治家,他們是世界上最有權柄的人。我得到的啟示是現在已經到地上的第四風,不是天上的四風。而第四個階段是經濟的力量,我們來到這個階段在經濟上有權力的人,他在世界上就有權力,我們現在進入這個階段,我們大部分的戰爭會是經濟的戰爭。影響全世界命運的,會是這些經濟的領導。我相信神興起台灣的領袖,成為未來經濟的領導者,因為在這裡我感到有特別的恩賜,相信我們這裡有人會成為世界上有名的生意人。這是為什麼這麼一個小小的船可以將整個中國拖到大海來。我曾經是海軍的領航員,在航空母艦工作,我一直記得我最喜歡的就是當你離開港口進到汪洋大海之中時,就是那樣歡喜自由的感受,而當我在夢裡看見這異象時,我也有相同的感受。在這樣的狀況中,台灣不會失掉她的自由而是幫助中國更開放,進入自由之中。我感到你可以幫助中國進入自由。這確實不容易,因為她拖了很大一塊,但逐漸會做到。 中國是世界最大的市場,具有最大的經濟機會與潛能,台灣就是站在這樣的戰略性位置,可以在這上面受益,利用這個機會,我相信也是神在你身上的旨意。
我們曾提到獸的印記是「經濟印記」,因為這大收割是在末世的時候,無論好壞都會收割起來。我們看見當榮耀光明在成長的時候,黑暗邪惡也成熟了。從以下經文我們可以看到,以賽亞書60章1-5節「興起發光.因為你的光已經來到,耶和華的榮耀發現照耀你。 看哪,黑暗遮蓋大地、幽暗遮蓋萬民,耶和華卻要顯現照耀你,祂的榮耀要現在你身上。萬國要來就你的光,君王要來就你發現的光輝。你舉目向四方觀看.眾人都聚集來到你這裡.你的眾子從遠方而來、你的眾女也被懷抱而來。那時你看見就有光榮、你心又跳動、又寬暢.因為大海豐盛的貨物必轉來歸你、列國的財寶、也必來歸你.」我們許多的服事是在工作生活的場所,在我們的工作場所中,要以屬靈權柄來影響週遭,這是你的呼召,是主向我們所定的旨意。我們以為神只關心屬靈生命,其實衪關心一切。這大使命不單是要個人來做主門徒,更是要讓「萬國」來作主門徒。要明白主對萬國的心意。祂要祂的子民為了將來的國度作預備並且作引導。深沉的黑暗會來到,將人都遮蔽了,但同時祂的榮耀也會在祂子民中間興起,萬國要來歸向祂。 神現在正預備領導人,攪動整個世界並將世界帶到祂的旨意與方向中。我們不可有這樣的態度--將世界交給敵基督,即或會黑暗遮蔽一段時間,但是神的國必得勝!而你們正在預備進入這樣的狀況。這異象是在我快醒來時得到的,我也不知道是睡著或醒著時看到的。希望你們覺得這對你們是有意義的。
二、此行,當我們飛到台灣上空時,神說,祂會在此興起一個喜樂的教會。天堂最大的特徵是喜樂。天上的喜樂要澆灌在台灣教會。創世記49章20節 及申命記33章24節,提到亞設的特色是喜樂,這是大家所喜歡的人,常使人得到鼓勵。我感覺神要把這個特性給台灣,你們會走在信心盼望和平安之中,腳沾在油(恩膏)中,每天喜樂過日,沒有壓力。神要你們享受喜樂,大喜樂將要澆灌台灣,每個人都願意和基督徒在一起,當困難來時,人會來找你們。
創世記49:20 亞設之地必出肥美的糧食,且出君王的美味。
申命記33:24 論亞設說:願亞設享受多子的福樂,得他弟兄的喜悅,可以把腳蘸在油中,你的門閂是銅的、鐵的,你的日子如何,你的力量也如何。
Strategic Prophetic Word - Asia - Taiwan

I saw the island of Taiwan turn into a beautiful sailing ship. It was sailing on waters that changed from blue to green over and over. It was moving at a good speed but its sails became tattered and the hull of the ship worn and battered. Soon it was barely moving, but was just drifting with the currents. A harbor came into sight and it drifted toward the harbor while the harbor started moving toward it. Then the ship slipped into a dock that seemed to have been made to fit it perfectly. There, it was very quickly restored and emerged much larger and even more beautiful than before. As it moved toward the open sea it had two large cords attached to its stern and it was towing the nation of China out to sea with it.
INTERPRETATION: Ships in dreams and visions often represent leader-ship. This speaks of the extraordinary gift of leadership that has been given to the people of Taiwan. When I shared the vision in a meeting I was told that the colors of the two main political parties on Taiwan are blue and green which is most likely what the alternating blue and green water represented (these two parties have been alternating power for some time). I also felt that it represented an alternating anointing for vision (blue) and then teaching the vision (green). I felt because the ship was becoming worn and the sails tattered represents economic problems that would get so bad that the ship would begin to drift. This would cause it to drift toward the Mainland China, where a port had been prepared for it—Hong Kong. There its economy will be restored so that it becomes larger and more powerful than before. Then it will sail again and will help to pull Mainland China toward the open sea, or openness. Taiwan need not fear the loss of its freedoms, but will actually help to impart liberty to China that will give the other nations of the world much greater confidence in China.
NOTE: While in Taiwan I had a very strong feeling that it had been the Lord’s plan for Taiwan to develop economically the way it has so that it could help China. This island needs to understand that it has a purpose in helping China. Taiwan has often been called an “economic miracle” because it has done so much with so little, which is because of the anointing for leadership that it has been given. Now China can greatly use that leadership as it continues moving toward a market economy. Taiwan’s economy will falter which will cause it to have to drift toward China--the largest potential market in the world, and no place is better suited to take advantage of this than Taiwan. However, it must not move too fast toward China, but let the currents carry it. Patient leadership on both sides will enable this to happen at the right time and it will be a near perfect fit. The Lord is going to impart an increasing love for their brethren in China to the people of Taiwan. There will even be an increasing desire for the leaders of Taiwan to make sacrifices and concessions in order to help China during this crucial stage of its development as a world economic power.
There is a saying that “The Lord really loves the Chinese people, which is why He made so many of them.” There is truth to this. While in Hong Kong I kept feeling a supernatural love for the Chinese people, especially the children. The Lord does want them well provided for. The coming economic prosperity of China is grace from the Lord, and is especially for the sake of the children. Ministries and programs that reach the children will be especially blessed by the Lord.
