Reflections on the “Shakings” of 2024

Written 12/29/2024

Everything that can be shaken is being shaken at this given moment. How are you fairing in this hour? How is the Church fairing at this hour?  Selah!

The true prophets of God told us that these days were coming. It is evident by the number of Saints who are “quitting God” or “falling away from God” that few believed the true prophets.  They did not have an ear to hear what the Spirit of the Lord was saying.  Great truths have been spoken through God’s vessels of honor but did the Body of Christ hear with an uncircumcised ear, or did they hear with an ear that was dull of understanding and slow of comprehending the times? At this moment it appears to be the latter.

He who has an ear, let Him hear what God is saying in this hour.  If you're listening, you will be hearing God speak a lot about the deception of the hour. The greatest seduction of all time is taking place as we speak. The Saints of God believe and have been seduced into believing that they have attained what God has given them. There is a refusal to sacrifice, a refusal to surrender, and a refusal to obey and do what God has commissioned to be done.  This is opening some up to have deception about where they truly are with God.  If you tie this together with an inability to be honest about their true condition, this quickly degenerates into an unprecedented level of gross deception that opens the door for gross darkness.  This gross darkness is standing in the holy places that God used to dwell in here on this Earth.  This gross darkness is affecting the very atmosphere in which we live.  This is not about maintaining the edifices themselves but getting the people to see that their hearts have become unclean before God.  Without change, without honesty these hearts will forever become cold and calloused to God.

“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.  And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold,” Matthew 24:  11 – 12 (NKJV).

“And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand,” Matthew 24:  22 – 25 (NKJV)

God has commissioned these shakings to get those in the Body of Christ who are willing into the place where they can be used by God.  God has always been true to Himself.  This will never change.  God intends for the Bride that He gives to His son to be pure and spotless.  The Father will not give a bad gift to His Son.  This would dishonor Him and this would dishonor the very Godhead itself.  We have a part to play in this.  Our desire for holiness and purity must be maintained at all costs.  We must step into our calling and be the pure, spotless Bride that the Father has called us forth to be.  The purification rights of the Bride can be found in Ephesians 5:  22 – 33.

“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.  For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless, let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.”  Ephesians 5:  22 – 33 (NKJV)

The Body of Christ must get back to this practice of purifying ourselves.  Just as depicted here in Ephesians.  Does the Body of Christ respect her husband, Jesus?  Does the Body of Christ even see itself as being given in marriage to Jesus?  In the natural a married woman carries herself differently then a single woman.  There is self-respect, self-love, and a sense of purpose that married women carry.  They are careful about guarding and protecting their relationship.  They are careful about how they appear and with whom they associate.  They don’t cross lines of decency and they always value the relationship with their husband.  Is the Body of Christ manifesting these characteristics and acting like a woman who is married?

We know that Jesus loves us because He gave His life for us.  He willingly laid it down.  We have been in preparation to receive the Bridegroom.  Everything that has been happening has been happening for the purpose of making us ready.  The different anointings that God has been dropping and implanting into us has been for the purpose of cleansing us from the things of this world.  We must make our chief concern be the Bridegroom.  Are we respecting Him the way that we should?  When you look at the story of Queen Esther, she went through a lot of preparation in order to be prepared to meet the king.  The same is true for the Body of Christ.

If you are wise, you will not ignore the words that God is speaking/has spoken through His true prophets.  A Plumbline has been set up and a division is taking place in the Spirit. God is marking and noting those who are sheep from those who are goats. The sheep are being sealed with the seal of God. This seal will accomplish many things in the days ahead. As the varied and different judgments hit the Earth those who have this seal will find themselves under the protection of God. Those who do not have this seal will find themselves going through great sorrows and pains that are beyond the norm.  At times it looks like the enemy is getting away with murder.  It would appear to the naked eye that God is not doing anything.  On the contrary, He is moving forward with His agenda for this End-Time Hour.

Many in the Church today are still wrestling with understanding that God really does love us.  However, they cannot reconcile this in their Spirit man because they cannot allow themselves to accept the knowledge that God is a jealous lover over us.  God is preparing us to be given to His Son.  His Son who gave up everything to be obedient to the Father.  His Son who stepped out of His deity to rescue us from the corruption of sin.  His Son who is the sacrificial lamb that was slain to purify the timeline with His blood. His Son who cleanses us all. The shakings are here to bring things into order.  These shakings must be.

If you are understanding you will know that not one of God’s Words has ever fallen to the ground.  Everyone of His Words completes their assignments.  God’s Word is not like us. God’s Word is committed, has a magnitude of force that commands respect.  God’s Word produces the necessary follow through effort to finish the task that is set before it.  Humans start tasks but do not see them through unto completion.  This is an area where our nature must become like God’s nature.  When God gives us assignments we must see them through unto completion.  The many layers of anointings that God has been giving us over the years have all had a timing and a purpose.  They were not given to us just so that we could feel good.  They were given to us to use in the fight against the darkness that is here and growing in intensity with each passing moment.  This has been a training period for those who carry the anointing.  With each layer of anointing there comes another layer or responsibility.  We are the Bride and we must be ready to receive the Bridegroom.  There is no delaying this event.  This marriage will take place.

There can be no compromise in any area of your life. We must walk the narrow path at this given time with the mindset that if no one goes with me, then I will still follow Him all by myself.  There will be group activities and team events but every one of us on an individual level is being tested.  These tests are not meant for elimination purposes, no on the contrary these tests are meant for you to see if you are really grasping the anointings that have been given to you.  These tests are meant to confirm to you that you are God’s and for you to gain the understanding that He is with you no matter what.  If there is a defect or malady within you that needs to be addressed, you should bring it before the Cross with a great sense of humility and urgency.  Any commonality that we have with the world must be completely removed.  Jesus had nothing in common with the world and we must be on the same level.  We cannot allow the world to stay inside of us lest we miss the still small voice of the Father.  The challenge that this presents will come from the isolation and solitude of the moment. 

Many in the Body of Christ have grown to like receiving the accolades of men.  This liking these accolades has grown into needing them.  This is dangerous.  Somehow, someway the satisfaction of doing a job well is not enough anymore.  The enemy is using this weakness to get us into pride.  Once this occurs, it will be easy to fall into sin and therefore make you susceptible to be shaken like the rest.   Surviving the shakings is not enough.  We must not just barely make it in by the skin of our teeth.  We need to be securely seated in the Heavenly places that the Father has ordained for us to be seated.  The shakings of 2024 were bad.  Now we must face the shakings of 2025.  Are you in love with God?  If so you will proceed forward.  If not, you will be shaken until you change or you quit.  This can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be.

There will be more exposures of sin in 2025.  I am judging the Bride because I am only going to give My Son the very best.

““Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”  Matthew 7:  7 – 14 (NKJV)
