The Unshakeable Kingdom
“See to it that you
do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not
escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much
less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the
earth but also the heavens." The words "once more" indicate the
removing of what can be shaken--that is, created things--so that
what cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence
and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:25-29
Everything shall be
shaken until the only things unshaken are the things of God – His kingdom. Idols shall be shaken.
The works of man shall be shaken
The nations shall be shaken
All things not of God shall be shaken
God does this because He loves us. He wants to restore us and prepare us as His
Bride without spot or blemish. He wants
to heal the brokenhearted and set free the captives. He loves us so much He won’t let us stay in
our current condition. When we encounter
the living Christ, we are changed. We
want to change. We want His healing and
His restoration in our lives.
Our job in this is to believe (John 6:29) and to express our
faith. It is to yield to the purifying
flames of God, to ask Him to remove the impurities of our lives, remove the
dross. Heb. 12 says we are to serve God
with reverence and Godly fear. We know
that we are receiving an unshakeable kingdom, with Lord Jesus as King. We’re to confess with our mouths our faith;
to call forth from the Cross of Christ those things that were secured on our
behalf by the One who knew no sin, yet became a sin offering for us. We are challenged to call it forth even if we
don’t yet see it.
Things are shaking and will continue to shake – all around
us.
Religion is being shaken until relationship is left
standing.
Information is being shaken until intimacy is left standing.
Hurts are being shaken until healing is left standing.
Commitment to self is being shaken until commitment to
Christ is left standing.
Thank You Father, for Your plan that shall be established
and for Your unshakeable Kingdom.
