" Empowering the Believer thru God's Word"

    Living Word Interdenominational Church

       Today I want to talk to you about the Shaking that is coming to the church!  You see God is starting to create a "Spiritual Discontentment" among his people in the church today.  He is wanting us to be discontent with the cookie cutter church services that are so prevalent today!  What I mean is, three praise songs, three worship songs, pick up an offering and have some announcements.  Then listen to someone preach all the while deciding what you need to do later in the day or what's for lunch after the church!  Are you tired of it?  We need to give the world a reason to redefine their perception of Christianity and what's it is all about!    God is stirring the hearts of his people to be "discontent" with the way things are so he can create a fire within their bosoms to yearn for the deeper things of God.  The bible says," Deep calls unto the Deep".  We need to desire the deeper things of God and seek his face.  We need to follow the word of the Lord and seek the Lord of Righteousness "until" he shows up as Hosea 10:12 states!  Let me tell you God gets tired of it all and those who are listening to his Spirit's voice can hear His discontentment.  Look at Isaiah 1:10-17 and see it has happened before!

        Verses 11-12 speak of our sacrifices of praise and worship and how empty and worthless they can be.  Verse 13 talks about our meaningless offerings.  We know when to lift our hands at the right time and clap our hands but our focus is not on him!  The verses say our incense is detestable to him, incense is represented in the new testament by our prayers!  It also says our evil assemblies, why would he call it evil?  It is not as he intended the church to be, if something is done anyway other than the way God intended it to be done, it is evil.   God is tired of our attempts to reach God without God!  Without using the ways that he has outlined for us in his Living Word!

        There is coming a Shaking, because what God has built man has adorned with his religions, traditions, denominations, and man made programs.  The Shaking will be forceful and violent because ultimately what God is planning on doing is Shaking the foundations of the church today and all the decorations man has hung on the walls of the Temple will be pulverized to dust!  Only what God has built and established from the beginning of time will remain standing!!!

        The biblical foundation is simply this, in the Last days there will be Christians and One World Religion, the bible says.  So as the Shaking is happening obviously some Christians will leave the Faith based on their beliefs in tradition and religion and even denominations.    Many will be deceived and go to the extreme opposite of Christianity and all the other religions will band together and be one world religion.  There is coming a Shaking folks and it will be to purify the church of God and will definitely be both a great and terrible day of the Lord!  Great for those of us that conform to God's way and terrible for all that do not conform!  if you think that it is gonna be all glorious and you have nothing to fear then you are in bad shape already.  We all have something to break and give up. None is righteous no not one, we all have hang up's rooted in tradition, religion, denomination or maybe just our own limited experience in how we feel things should be done.  There is coming a Shaking................are you ready for it?  I am preparing myself now even as I write this teaching for today.
