Hebrews 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Shaking And Exposure In The Church
.. There are real real problems in God’s House but thank God He has got a remnant and I see again why He is shaking – for this very reason. Because this shaking that is going on – I don’t know about you but most things don’t make any sense to me now. Governments now don’t make any sense, politicians are not making any sense, nothing’s making any sense. But I’m not going to even try to work it out any more because I know what God is doing. You always find with Christians that are backsliding that they make excuses – ‘ I wasn’t disciplined as a child, I’ve got too many problems and obstacles, when I came to The Lord I had a real load of baggage on my shoulder ‘ little realising that He says ‘ Come to me and cast all that burden upon me. ‘ It never seems to occur to them that that is what it means..
Meeting God In The Wilderness
.. You see brothers and sisters we’ve got to see that God isn’t going to pamper us. He’s not going to minister to our self pity or the life that we once had. He’s not going to do that. Do you know what He’s going to do with that life – your life? He’s going to put it out into the desert because that is where you meet with God. And that’s what He’s been doing with us brothers and sisters. We’ve been out in the desert for many many years. And God will open up those wells of living water, that’s why we walk by faith and not by sight. That is why our walk is a miraculous walk. That is why I praise and thank God that this assembly can’t happen in the natural..
Restored Back To The Spiritual
.. This is our walk in the desert and He’s opening up these wells of living water. It’s so interesting isn’t it that before man fell – Adam fell – there wasn’t a ‘natural’ and a ‘spiritual’ and that’s why we’re being restored. We’re being restored back in the second Adam Jesus Christ. That is why our walk is a walk of rest by faith. And where is God meeting us – in the wilderness because the wilderness deals with the Ishmael. It deals with the flesh. The wilderness works in us the spiritual so that we begin to walk from the above and not from the earth.. .. ..
Galatians 4:21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
1 Corinthians 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
