Haggai 2:6 “For this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: In just a little while I will again shake the heavens and the earth, the oceans and the dry land. 7 I will shake all the nations, and the treasures of all the nations will be brought to this Temple. I will fill this place with glory, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 9 The future glory of this Temple will be greater than its past glory, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. And in this place I will bring peace. I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!”
Hebrews 12: 25 Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven! 26 When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: “Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.”[k] 27 This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain.28 Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. 29 For our God is a devouring fire.
Back in the early part of the 2000's, God burdened me to preach on the shaking that He is sending and about to send. When I preached this, I preached it with the connotation that people's lives were going to be shaken.
And it is the TRUTH! And I have seen people's lives shaken violently since that time.You see, if you don't allow God to have ALL of you, He will shake shake shake until all that remains is Him. I have watched some people who were stuck in complacency have their lives turned upside down and I watched as they were shaken loose from such things. DELIVERED! I have also watched others who have been stuck just as bad and God show them where they were wrong....and they decided to stay put in their sin. I have seen some of that kind get theirs lives turned so upside down that there was nothing left of them and they quit. I have also watched some of that kind turn a deaf ear to the Lord...and God is still being merciful to them at this point. But they sure better watch out because God is not a lie! His Word says it, so that's IT. PERIOD.
But I have also had the intense blessing of watching people HEED the Word of God and follow 2 Chronicles 7:14 with all of their hearts! And I have watched as God opened up the windows of heaven over them and bless them mightily! I have watched young men and women give their mess over to God and He transform them into a vessel of honor! They allowed God to shake the junk off of their lives! PRAISE JESUS!
If YOU don't shake off the things of this world, HE will and it will not be fun. And for some reason I feel like saying this right here: What you uncover, God will cover with His grace. But what you cover up, God will uncover before EVERYONE.
Ok, transition.....
I also understand that God's Word speaks both to our hearts AND to the things that are going on in this world. And right now this world is being shaken like it has never been shaken before! God said in His Word (see above verses) that He WILL turn the faces of all nations towards His holy temple. EVERYTHING we see happening today is a countdown to the Second Coming of our Savior!! Very soon, He will come and receive His bride...the spotless church....to Himself. After that, things will really unfurl upon this earth. Trust this...you do NOT want to be left behind to endure the shaking that is coming after rapture time....after that great catching away!! He said in His Word that He would shake absolutely everything so that only the unshakable remains. His WORD is the only unshakable thing. And since the Word is Him and He is the Word....well you get the rest.What God's Word has spoken WILL come to pass. Don't make the mistake of thinking it's all a bunch of hooey. You will find yourself in dire straits.
So, let's run through a short list of things we are seeing unfurl now. Really, ever since 9/11, things have been going crazy but in the last few years, we have really seen some horrible catastrophes. There was the 2001 Gujarat earthquake in India - ~19,700 dead. In 2003 there were the European Heat Waves- 35,000 dead and the Iran earthquake- 31,000 to 43,000 dead. In 2004 Indonesia was crushed by Tsunami.
Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast in 2005. A cyclone hit Burma in 2008 killing 146,000 precious souls. There was the Tsunami recently in Japan.Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes in divers places as the Bible speaks about in Matthew 24. Now, which ever way you interpret that (deep places in the sea or diverse) does not matter. It works both ways. And now these tornadoes that wreaked havoc in the sweet south! And how about how fires have ravaged! Oh, it doesn't seem so real being out in California but when it comes to South Georgia, we realize how horrible it is! SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE!!!There are so many more things I could list but I won't. Just go to this link and read for yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biggest_natural_disasters_from_2000_to_2011 Take it all in and realize just how factual God's Word is!! What I have named is only natural disasters....that's not even counting plagues and wars that the Word of God speaks of!! There's more shaking coming!!! David Wilkerson (Teen Challenge, The Cross & the Switchblade) gave a prophetic word of a huge earthquake in Japan that would signal a bigger one coming to America. (MORE SHAKING!) Perry Stone told us at Winter Campmeeting in Tifton, GA. that God had shown him the farmlands of America being flooded. Well, just take a look at the Mighty Mississippi River! There are people up around Missouri who have had their farmlands flooded because of the river and extreme snow melts!
Go ahead....go to his website and listen to what God is giving this man! http://www.voe.org/ And there are other men and women of God that He is speaking to in this last day! God Almighty is trying to get this world's attention if we would only listen! If we will listen and apply His Word to our lives, then although we may have to stand through some shaking, we will not have to deal with all that is coming. This shaking is just about to get more intense as we see the Day of the Lord approaching. Watch!! Be sober & vigilant! Satan wants you and your family. Don't be caught in the shaking! We are IN the beginning of sorrows~Matthew 24.
SHAKE YOURSELF LOOSE OR THE SHAKING THAT IS COMING UPON THIS EARTH WILL SHAKE YOU LIKE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SHAKEN!!!
