When we are dealing with God, it is going to cause things to shake. God is so much bigger, more powerful, more majestic than we even realize. This is why when John saw the Lord on the isle of Patmos he fell down like a dead man; when Ezekiel saw the Lord he fell face down; when Isaiah saw the Lord in chapter 6 he said, I am unclean.

We have encountered men, but we have not encountered God. We have become so familiar with our version of who God is, we do not know what to do when a God like activity happens. That is why Matthew 24 calls earthquakes birth pains, not the manifestation of God on earth.

Think about that for a minute, earthquakes are just birth pains. When God shows up in power, to deliver a nation, seas are going to part, water will be on either side and you have a choice to crossover or remain in Egypt.

When God shows up will you be like Joshua and Caleb and say, “We are more than able” when you see the promised land fruit and the promised land giants? Or will you say like the majority we are like grasshoppers in their sight?

When God steps into the nations to deliver us from Babylon and planes are grounded, payroll systems go down, email stops, tankers crash into cruise ships, all in one day, do these tumults shake you or make you stand in awe of a system that is falling?

Isaiah 64:1 is a cry of a people wanting out of slavery, out of oppression, “Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!” When God steps on the scene Psalm 46 says all kinds of things shake, but we are called to be still and know that He is God.

Babylon is falling and it will shake many things, but what cannot be shaken will remain and when the dust settles, you will see the fingerprint of God on a world you never dreamt was possible. Be still friends, it is not the end of us, we are just getting started. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
