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:

有經濟學好友引述知名聯邦巡迴法院法官R. Posner對隱私權與營業秘密的經濟概念類比:
「The most interesting question in privacy law is whether a person should have a right to conceal embarrassing facts about himself — for example that he is an ex-convict. ...... Should he be encouraged to deceive these people, by being given a right to sue anyone who unmasks his hidden “defects”? At least on economic grounds, the answer seems to be no. It would be different if what was “unmasked” was not an embarrassing fact but a superb dinner recipe. We would then be in the realm of the trade secret, broadly defined, and the case would be no different in principle from the theft of a secret formula by a commercial rival. Here secrecy is a method of enforcing an informal property right and encourages an investment in a socially valuable idea. Concealing discreditable facts about a private individual, a firm, or a product does not.」
正確來說,Posner在argue的是傳統common law對隱私權的處理。
我分幾點說:
1. 我並不認同Posner的經濟分析,因為privacy的權利本質與trade secret畢竟不同,前者與後者的收入也不同。前者在common law底下保護的收入更多是personality,後者則純粹是monetary income。
2. 傳統common law對privacy的保護是放在「侵權行為(tort)」底下,原則上公認的四種隱私權侵害態樣:
a. appropriation by defendant of plaintiff's picture or name for defendant's commercial advantages;
b. intrusion by the defendant upon plaintiff's affairs or seclusion;
c. publication by the defendant of facts placing the plaintiff in a false light; and
d. public disclosures of private facts about the plaintiff by the defendant
第一種就是所謂的肖像權,通常是把名人的照片或名字未經授權拿去從事商業行為。這種不是Posner談的狀況,但卻是落在純粹的金錢收入。
後面三種行為都要求"highly offensive to a reasonable person"或"actual malice",而且相較於其他侵權行為訴訟,這三種隱私權受侵害原告只需要證明「侵害行為存在」,並不需要證明「所受損害」即可成立。反之,營業秘密侵害並不要求"actual malice or highly offensive"之存在,僅需故意、重大過失或違背保密義務即可構成。但營業秘密,原則上是需要證明損害存在與損害額度。除了少數原告不能證明損害,由法官判斷。
這點差異之所以存在,我認為就是因為侵權行為法在處理隱私權受侵害本來就不是以「金錢收入」為基本考量點,而是以保護personality;但營業秘密則完全考量金錢收入,反而不考量原告的personality。
當然,personality是什麼沒有明確定義,在美國法體系下就是靠大量判決累積畫出邊界。
3. 這就回到Armen Alchian著名的「THE MEANING OF UTILITY MEASUREMENT」論文所提出的觀念:如果把personality看成經濟學上的一種utility,則經濟理論上關於量度我們只能做到對utility的偏好做排列,卻無從得出絕對數值。
這點就是我認為Posner犯錯的地方:privacy訴訟大部分情形下是武斷的utility判斷,無法像trade secret那樣有「可能市價」參考損失額度。
這一塊又是海耶克理論的進一步應用了 -- i.法院體系雖然不是市場交易體系,但處理糾紛賠償通常還是要引入外部市場價格作為參考,但;
ii.某些侵權行為損害額計算沒有市價可供引導,法官必須武斷地判斷,這肯定會存在非常高的訊息費用。
但反之,無法引入市價指引,不代表損害不存在,法律上可據此不給予保護。

The Only Resolution You Need for the New Year
When you place the pressure on yourself to get things done, it can bring you under the Law.
“I will not....”, “I must do this”, etc.
New Year resolutions don’t help. Willpower and self-discipline can produce temporary results, but the works of the flesh aren’t lasting and often come with undesirable tradeoffs.
Are you willing to double your income and damage your health in the process just to fulfill a new year resolution by your own strength?
You’ll end up paying the money you’ve earned to the hospital!
Are you trying to lose weight by extreme dieting? You’re depriving your body of important nutrients it needs, and not to mention that terrible rebound when you stop dieting. It’s not a long term solution.
What we need is to repeatedly refocus our spiritual eyes back to Jesus whenever we are tempted to look away from Him.
The prefix “re-“ can have the meaning of “once more; afresh; anew”.
Jesus is the New Year re-Solution we need. Have a problem? Go to Jesus once more. Need wisdom? Receive from Jesus afresh. Feeling fearful or worried about something? Meditate on Jesus’ love anew.
I was just reading one of my favorite psalms 139 and allowing it to fill me with a sense of God’s love, and I was particular drawn to this passage:
“If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; the light around me will be night”; even the darkness doesn’t hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.” (Psalms 139:11-12 WEB)
Our eyes need light to see. Even with perfect eyesight, we can’t see in total darkness.
It’s okay, because to Jesus, the darkness is still as clear as light. Nothing is hidden from His sight, so rely on Him to give you wisdom.
Jesus is most willing to share what He sees with you.
The year 2020 ahead may seem like pitch blackness because you can’t see the future, but Jesus knows what is ahead.
Ask Him to remove the pitfalls, give you wisdom to face the challenges and to give you favor in every situation.
As you follow His leading through His Spirit inside you, He will guide you by the hand to navigate through the darkness, into a good place!
The one with perfect 20/20 vision in 2020 is Jesus! Follow Him and you will see clearly through Him.
“You crown the year with Your bounty, And Your paths overflow.” (Psalms 65:11 AMP)
You may not be able to see where He’s leading you, but as you walk in Jesus’ paths by faith, you will find them overflowing with His bounty (abundant blessings)!
