Needed Obedience

Some time back we experienced and earthquake here which shook from Missouri, through Illinois, and in much of Indiana. God speaks much through creation. One of the things which He was speaking to me was about shaking loose everything that could be shaken. As I saw the walls in my house sway, I was aware that just a little more force behind this earthquake could bring them down. The walls were sufficient to withstand a small quake. But what would happen if we had a larger one?

Jah is shaking His church. The church must have a foundation that will be adequate for the shaking or it will fall.

Repent for the kingdom is at hand.

This is the message the church must hear. To repent unto the kingdom is to accept the King’s ways fully. This means we have Jah’s standard for everything. When we read some of the older covenant passages about the requirements for building the tabernacle, we can quickly see and know that Jah was “in to”, an ordered form of worship. The crux of the message about the temple is that there is a heavenly pattern, that when followed, will produce heavenly results here.

Now it is possible to be blessed and not be in the order of Jah. But if the church would repent unto the kingdom, and move into Jah’s biblical pattern, it would be impossible to not be blessed.

To do what he says is obedience. This is faith. Without faith it is impossible to please Jah. Our works or obedience to His word, does not negate His saving grace through faith, but rather gives it a sure foundation, which will not move. In this we find rest.

Without Jah’s grace we are truly lost. Without obedience we are losing spiritual ground, and holy power and denying His Lordship..

What shaking has Our Lord provided for you? How much more will it take to break all pride?

It is meant to bring you to a place of dependence on Him. When we confess Him as Lord, we also proclaim our obedience to His will for our life. There can be no power that changes the lives of others, without our obedience.
