Unmoved in the Shaking Time

Today's Text Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. Hebrews 12:28

Those who accept Christ, and in their first confidence say, I am saved, are in danger of trusting to themselves. They lose sight of their own weakness and their constant need of divine strength. They are unprepared for Satan's devices.... Our only safety is in constant distrust of self, and dependence on Christ. The Signs of the Times, January 18, 1910 (Christ's Object Lessons, 155). Man's great danger is in being self-deceived, indulging self-sufficiency, and thus separating from God, the source of his strength. Testimonies for the Church 8:315. The Lord is coming very soon, and we are entering into scenes of calamity. Testimonies for the Church 9:62. We need not say: The perils of the last days are soon to come upon us. Already they have come. We need now the sword of the Lord to cut to the very soul and marrow of fleshly lusts, appetites, and passions. Minds that have been given up to loose thought need to change.... The thoughts must be centered upon God. Now is the time to put forth earnest effort to overcome the natural tendencies of the carnal heart. Testimonies for the Church 8:315. As the storm approaches, a large class who have professed faith in the third message, but have not been sanctified through it, abandon their position, and take refuge under the banner of the powers of darkness. By uniting with the world and partaking of its spirit, they come to view matters in nearly the same light; and when the test is brought, they are prepared to choose the easy, popular side. Men of talent and pleasing address, who once rejoiced in the truth, employ their powers to deceive and mislead souls. They become the most bitter enemies of their former brethren. The Spirit of Prophecy 4:426 We are in the shaking time, the time when everything that can be shaken will be shaken. The Lord will not excuse those who know the truth if they do not in word and deed obey His commands. Testimonies for the Church 6:332. Note: In some areas phrases have been omitted by the compilers for whatever reason. I have restored them as underlined text, that the full intent of the author may be given.

My Thoughts: My friend, God is preparing a people to give the last message of hope to a dying world. The first angels message is a message to call the world back to the worship of the One true God, but before this message can be taken to the world, it must sanctify a people to give it. The condition of the remnant church today is such that the Spirit of God cannot be poured out upon His people that they may give the final message of warning to the world. They are in this condition because they have forsaken the One true God for the false god of the trinity, and as such they are without the righteousness of Christ. They are in this condition because of apostasy, and their only hope is to be awakened to their true spiritual condition before God. This straight message of truth will shake the church, separating the wheat from the tares. The shaking will be caused by the pouring forth of the straight testimony to the church of Laodicea, saying "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:" (Revelation 3:15-17). The straight testimony is that they are in apostasy because they have forsaken the One true God and His Son Jesus Christ, and have turned unto the false god of the trinity. Thus the first angels message, which calls the people back to the worship of the true God, will have a shaking effect upon the remnant church of God. Those who accept the message will be sanctified through it. Those who resist and finally reject it will finally grieve away the Holy Spirit of Christ. There probation is closed and there is nothing more that God can do for them. They have closed their hearts and minds to the working of the Spirit of Christ upon their hearts and are lost. My friend, the close of our probation is at hand. We are in the shaking time of the Church of Laodicea. The final message of warning is being brought upon the remnant church of God. It is time to heed the warning of Jesus and turn from the worship of the false god of the trinity unto the worship of the One true God through His Son Jesus Christ today. God bless,
