What Can Be Shaken and The Battle of the Near Future

 "25 See to it that you do not refuse the One who is speaking! For if they did not escape when they refused the One who was warning them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject the One who warns us from heaven. 26 His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.” 27 Now this phrase, “Yet once more,” shows the removal of those things that are shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude—through this we may offer worship in a manner pleasing to God, with reverence and awe. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Grateful for a Shepherd who speaks the truth. What we need as followers of the Messiah of Israel, the Son of the Most High God is Him alone.  What we need in this evil age will be provided by the Son of the Most High God in His time, in His way.  This is the end of the "consumerism" spirit that is over this land in the individual's life. As individuals join together small communities that come against this spirit can exist by the will of God and what cannot be shaken will remain to the glory of God.

Listening to Art Katz on Paganism he makes this point. The great battle at the end of this age will not be between good and bad, but between the good and the perfect. I would add that the key will be to discern where the power is coming from and who is getting the glory.

The gifts of the Spirit will be 100% necessary as the end draws near, those who say they have passed away are 100% wrong, and those who use them to inflate their name are equally wrong. Very sad.

Art Katz on the need of the gifts in the end time 'church'

In the end times…“The issue of the gifts of the Spirit is no longer a matter of Pentecostals or Charismatics, it becomes the imperative for all the church.  This is God’s nuts and bolts provision for the church of the last days, fighting it out and struggling against the world and dealing with the powers of the air, being formed into community, taking its purpose seriously.  It needs all the panoply of God exquisite gift, of His Spirit and Its expression, because we are going to face unforeseen circumstances for which no past experience will have prepared us and in that moment we will need to hear a prophetic word, we will need to hear a tongue and an interpretation, we will need to receive an explicit direction because we are at a cross road where one wrong misstep will be fatal for ourselves and for others.  So unless we respect and esteem this remarkable provision and give the environment that God intended for it to function we will lose a critical factor and gift of God for our last days direction.”  The Core Of Prophetic And Apostolic Reality by Art Katz
