A great time of trial and shaking
October 14, 2018To
the Church Rev 3:6-12
He
who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To
the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of
the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He
opens, no one will shut; and what He shuts, no one will open. I know
your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door, which no one
can shut. For you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My
word and have not denied My name. Look at those who belong to the
synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews but are liars instead. I
will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know
that I love you. Because you have kept My command to endure with
patience, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about
to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. I
am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take
your crown. The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the
temple of My God, and he will never again leave it. Upon him I will
write the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God (the new
Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from My God), and My new
name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches.…
As
I spent time in the presence of the Lord, I clearly heard the Father
tell me to encourage the Church to prepare her heart for there is a
time coming, a time
of great shaking (trial) upon the earth and My church shall not
escape it. Yet to those who obey My word, they shall escape the calamity
which I will bring upon the nation's. However, to those who would not
heed My voice in the Church and not prepare their hearts, they shall
be engulfed in the commotion (a state of confusion and noisy
disturbance) and it shall consume their day. They will not know which
way to turn for the great and fearful day shall come upon them and
they shall neither be able to run from it...
Seek
Me with all your heart, never turn aside from My word, let
righteousness and faithfulness be tied to your waist so that you may
escape the great day of trial that will shake the nations. The New
Year will hail in much confusion even within the Body of Christ, for
this will be the season of change and the waved might seem small, but
they too shall gradually increase and overwhelm the
unprepared heart.
