Can’t Shake This

Have you ever wondered why it is easier for us to accept the truth of certain things, but then others are very challenging to rest in? For example, if I say God loves you, most people would say, yes I know this. It is an easy truth to accept. However, if I say God is a healer or a provider, we may have a mental assent, but still struggle to believe it, because it is not an experiential one.

When Hebrews 12 says, we have a kingdom that cannot be shaken, many in the church would say amen. Then when nations rise, people riot, DOGE strikes, Trump tweets or airlines cease flights, we panic pray and forget we have a kingdom that cannot be shaken.

Our instability is rooted in our insecurity about truths that are solid but we do not believe experientially/relationally, but we do believe intellectually. Intellectual belief is not stable, it fluctuates with every bit of new information that is presented to you. Relational/experiential truth is unshakable, for it is rooted in relational equity.

Yahweh/Yeshua is a relational not intellectual God. The word of God is about a Father, a Son, a nation (Israel), a city (Jerusalem), nations (Gentiles), covenants and they are all unshakable because they are relational.

The eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is what makes people shakable, for the tree of life is wisdom, it is Jesus, it is unshakable, immovable, undeniable.

As you hear the news, as you see headlines, I want you to remember this unshakable truth found in Psalm 47 “God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. The nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted.” Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
