The Lord has given warning after warning for this nation to repent of her sins and turn back to Him. But instead, the rejection of God has grown stronger, with sin not only condoned, but now embraced.  The weight of sin has forced God to remove his hand of protection from over our nation. Without His protective covering, the enemy will rush in to carry out his evil desires upon our land.  A great shaking is coming to this world. “What is shakable will be shaken so that what is unshakable will remain.” Heb. 12:27

          In my last post, ‘The Great Escape,’ I talked about my journey from not believing in a pre-tribulation rapture during my early Christian walk, to discovering Jesus is indeed coming to receive His Church before His return to earth and millennial reign. In July, 2015, I was given a vision which revealed to me that before the rapture of the Church, a great shaking with much destruction is coming.  If you haven’t already, please read ‘The Great Escape’ before proceeding.

          Witnessing the horrible destruction, and hearing the Lord say, “My Church Will Rise from the Ashes,” shook me to my core. It wasn’t what I wanted to hear. I thought the Church would already be raptured before times such as this. Fear and a sense of panic started to envelop me as I realized I wasn’t ready to face such things. I began to cry out to the Lord, “Where should I go?” “What should I be doing?” “Father, please help me!”  It was then that the Lord gave explicit instruction on what His followers were to do.  The instructions were given in two parts, on two separate occasions:

Let Go

          The first week of September, 2015, during my early morning time with the Lord, my eyes fixed upon an awesome wall calendar photo of God’s creation directly across from my desk. A beautiful lighthouse with ocean waves gently rolling onto the shore, complete with a house and mountains in the background. The beauty of God’s creation took my breath away! As I was giving thanks for His glorious creation, the previous vision I’d had a few weeks earlier of everything covered in ashes flashed before my eyes. I realized that soon, everything was going to change. I began to sob as what I know is coming hit me full force. Instead of beauty, we will soon see death and destruction everywhere. As my heart was breaking, tears streaming down my face, the Lord said, “Let go of the earth and cleave unto Me!” I knew immediately the mourning had to stop, it was time to completely let go of everything around me and seek the Lord my God with all my being.

Run to the Rock!

          Two weeks later, I was at church in the middle of an amazing worship service. It was one of those where you’re praising God with all your heart and soul, to the point you feel if you went any higher, you’d be translated straight to heaven.  Right in the middle of this awesome experience, straight out of the blue, I hear the Lord say loudly, “Tell everyone to run to the Rock – Hurry!”  This was said with such a sense of urgency that it left me numb for some time, as I tried to discern how He wanted me to “tell everyone.”

          In the weeks that ensued, the Lord has repeatedly stressed to me how his people are not to fear what’s coming. Jesus said, “Whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” Matt 7:24-27

          Everything built upon sand is soon going to fall.  But our God will place His hand as a wall of separation between His people and the coming destruction. The Lord will be our Rock, our Fortress and Deliverer (Psalms 18:2). The Kingdom of God is unshakable. Those who have let go of this earth, cleaving unto the Lord their God, who have run to the Rock, that Rock being Christ (1 Cor. 10:4), WILL NOT FALL!   THEY WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES!

The Separation

          There is a separation taking place. Just as wheat must be separated from the tares at harvest time, so God is separating his people unto Himself. One of the greatest harvests of the Kingdom of God is just around the corner. What the enemy intends for harm, God will use for our good. The soon coming shaking will actually serve to wake up the Church of God. Many will be awakened out of their slumber, awakened to what God called them to do in the first place – the works of Jesus!

          Not only will this shaking awaken the Church, but it will jolt the masses out of their zombie-like state of existence. Many will cry out to their Creator as their world crumbles around them. As darkness increases upon the earth, so will the Light grow brighter and brighter within, and upon, His Light bearers. The Lord will reach out in love, through His anointed ones, to heal the sick and injured, and to feed the hungry. Millions will run towards the Rock, resulting in the largest harvest for the Kingdom of God in history. And others?  Sadly, they will turn away.

          Yes, many will run to Jesus Christ as their Rock of safety and salvation, but others will run from Him. Instead, they will turn to a counterfeit offer, an offer of peace and safety. It will sound so good; no more wars, one world religion, everyone will kiss and make up…  But, this new world order will be ruled over by the enemy of God and man – Satan himself!  Oh, and an important side-note; You will be required to denounce Jesus, at least the part about Him being the Son of God, that He shed His blood for us, was crucified and raised from the dead on the third day, and that His is the only Name under Heaven by which we may be saved. None of that will be allowed. God has warned about this coming time.  “For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them…” 1 Thess 5:3.

 Let Go and Run to the Rock – Hurry!

          We as Saints of the Most High God, must let go of this earth and all associated with it, and cleave unto Him. We must run to the Rock, our Refuge and Fortress. The Lord has a special assignment for His Church in these last days. In order to fulfill that assignment, we cannot be attached to anything in this world. Our total focus has to be straight ahead on Jesus Christ our Lord. We must be in position to hear His specific instructions for each of us; to do what we see Him do, to say what we hear Him say.

          We are His Body on the earth, and as such, will be about our Father’s business. The Lord will enable the Body of Christ to speak the Word with all boldness, and signs and wonders will follow through the name of Jesus (Acts 4:29-30).  Millions will run to the Lord during this great shaking, resulting in the largest harvest for the Kingdom of God in history. And it will be when the Church is in full stride, doing the works of Jesus, that He will come to receive His Church, His Glorious Church without spot or wrinkle.

          After the departure of the Church, those remaining will go through great tribulation, such as has never been seen upon the earth.  But the good news is, we all have a choice; Will we walk in utter darkness, which is quickly descending upon the earth; or will we choose to walk in the Light?

Time to Choose

          The gray is disappearing; there will soon be only black and white. The time for sitting on the fence is over.  Those of you who haven’t made Jesus Lord of your life will soon be forced to make a choice. But the time for making that choice is quickly running out, as millions will soon be stepping into eternity. As a matter of fact, some of us will be taking our last breath today.  Don’t delay the most important decision you will ever make. The Word of God promises:

          “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9

          In Romans 10:9-13, we’re told how to make Jesus our Lord, “…if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame…for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

          Please confess right now, “Lord, I’m a sinner, please forgive me!  I believe Jesus is the Son of God, was crucified and raised from the dead after three days. I receive the shed blood of Jesus as payment for my sins. I give You my life to use for Your Glory, and make Jesus the Lord of my life from this day forward. I forgive all those who have trespassed against me.  Thank you, Lord. Amen!

          Now, it’s time to celebrate the soon-coming of our Lord Jesus! The King of Kings and Lord of Lords!   Come soon, Lord Jesus!
