“Haggai 2:6-7 NKJV ~ “For thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; [7] and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the LORD of hosts.”
Let’s talk about things being shaken; there are three things I want you to consider and get a visual while you are reading and studying the scripture today!
First, let’s look at a snow globe, when it is shaken you get to see the most beautiful picture and your imagination goes to a new place!
Secondly, let’s talk about ants in a jar, you can gently put red and black ants in a jar together and sit it down and everything will be good, but when you shake the jar, they start attacking and killing one another! The motto for them is, to kill them or die trying.”
Thirdly, let’s talk about what happens when God does the shaken. When God shakes the Heaven and Earth, the Sea and Dry Land, His treasures of all nations will come in, and the Lord will fill the house with His Glory! It’s going to happen in a little while, it’s going to be a period between the present and the predicted, and with this, a great change is going to take place! There is going to be some new construction, building brick by brick! And when this shaking take place you are going to learn how to die to your need for understanding everything. No more analyzing, you are going to have to Trust God!
This Shaking signifies the upheaval and disruption of everything that does not please God, He’s getting ready to bring about a change, where He promises to “shake all nations” and to bring greater Glory to the House! The place of ultimate riches and treasures that are to be desired by all people, is signifying the shifting, the dying to self and the restoration and renewal of your new life! As I’m writing this I heard “You have been thinking too small, think globally!”
I want you to know that God is in control of the shaking that is taking place in your life, and He will achieve His desired outcome. God is Shaking Things Up On Purpose! Embrace the change, even when you are facing challenges and disruptions, trust that God is Powerful enough to bring good out of any and all situations in your life! He wants to bring about a new season of growth and blessing in you and it can’t be done while you are weighed down with yesterday’s concerns.
God has allowed the nations to be shook up for centuries. But enough is getting to be enough! When will you realize that you have to stop sinning, repent, turn and stand up for God? You do know that the Lord is coming back real soon, don’t you? Will that last person have an opportunity to get to know Jesus before His second coming? Nobody knows this, this is why you must be ready now! Because one day, in just a little while, God’s Mighty Hand is going to come down and His glory is going to ripple across the lands and waters! But until then you better be watching and praying and listening for the sound of the winds when they start rumbling!
When you feel yourself being pulled off the shelf, don’t try to figure it out, just keep your focus on the One who has you firmly in His hand. Once secure in this trust, you can lean back and watch in wonder as the particles of your life fall where they may. Remember that you are a believer, and you will receive a kingdom that cannot and will not be shaken! God is going to fill His house with visible Glory and all the nations will know the truth and the earth will come to its knees at the feet of Jesus and His final Word will come to pass!
It is time to come together and pray, pray without ceasing and to know without a shadow of doubt that prayer changes things, something shifts and shakes in the atmosphere when prayer is going forth! God is changing you today with a shift as He enters the room, He’s filling it up with light and you will be changed, and you will feel the shake because He’s just that powerful!
Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Thank You for the Shaking! Father, help me to let go of the old while You are shaking me for Your Glory! Father, help me to make the changes that I need to, to set the world on fire for You. Father, help me to not be fearful but to be faithful, keep me in steady in faith as I propel forward into Your Presence! Father, I am desperate for Your truth. Help me to tear down strongholds of excuses that I built up, I don’t want anything in my way as I build a new with You, for You are my firm foundation and I’m grateful. Father, Thank You for loving me through my birthing pains, construction building, brick by brick and in guiding me as You love on me in the Shaking! All glory be unto You, God! In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
