In a vision, I saw two of those little clear glass round globes that usually be bought in gift shops; the little globes that usually see inside a scene that displays a cute little house, a white picket fence around it, a couple of trees, and snow on the ground. These globes were sitting side by side, and they both appeared identical in appearance. As I began to observe these two globes, a hand suddenly appeared and picked up one of them, shook it up hard several times, and then placed it back down in its original place. I then watched the scene inside as these little snow flakes gently and softly settled back down on the roof of the house and the yard. What a wonderful and peaceable scene it was.
I then watched as this same hand then picked up the second globe, shook it up real hard, and then place it back down also. This was where the second globe lost any similarity of being like the first little globe; for what happened inside this globe after it was shaken had no resemblance at all of that which had occurred inside the first globe. Instead of peaceful snow gently falling, I saw what appeared like an extremely violent thunderstorm taking place on the inside of this second globe. There was as strong wind, lightning and thunder that accompanied this storm. Instead of gentle snow flakes coming down, there was what appeared like a continuous swirling wind, not quite as powerful as a tornado that circled the house. This wind was driving a rain that seemed to consist of this thick muddy water; and it relentlessly pounded this little house. I was amazed at the contrast of the storms that I had just seen.
I then asked the Lord to explain what these two globes represented. The Lord then said, “The two globes that you see represent my church; for it is written “In every house there are both vessels of honor and vessels of dishonor”. The first globe that you saw represents the vessels of honor while the second globe represents the vessels of dishonor. The vessels of honor are those who have heard my words and believed them, while the vessels of dishonor are those who have make light of my counsels and despise my instruction. It is now that day; the Day of the Lord, the day that I come to shake every man’s world. Those vessels of honor who have judged themselves, they shall be as troubled of this day like I was troubled when the disciples and I got caught in that terrible storm. Throughout that storm, I slept as peaceable as a child who feels all safe and secure during a gentle snow storm. But it was not so with my disciples; for their minds were as the troubled sea, with their thoughts continuously being tossed to and fro between their fears, their doubts, their hopelessness, their confusion, and their unbelief. As it was with my disciples during this storm, so shall it be with world and with those vessels of dishonor that shall be judged with the world. This is that day that men’s hearts shall be failing them for fear at looking on those things which are coming on the earth.
II Timothy 2:19-21 “Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure having this seal: “The Lord knows them that are his”. And let everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor and some to dishonor. If a man will therefore purge himself from these (his iniquities), then he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.”
Hebrews 12:25-28 “See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they did not escape who refused him that spoke on earth, then how much more shall we not escape if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth? But now he has promised saying, “Yet once more I shake not the earth (body) only, but also heaven (mind). And this word yet once more signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and Godly fear.”
Isaiah 13:10-13 “For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Mark 4:37-40 “And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full of water. And Jesus was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him, and said to him, “Master, do you not care that we are perishing?” And he arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still”. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And then Jesus said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”

I am coming to shake my church; and when I do, the vessels of honor will respond to my shaking in the same manner that I responded to that storm at sea, as well as how that first globe responded to my shaking, in peace and quietness. It shall not be so with the vessels of dishonor, those of my people who have refused to judge themselves; for my word has instructed each one of you that if you refuse to judge yourselves, then shall you be judged with this world. I am coming to shake the world, and when I do, the vessels of dishonor will respond in the same manner as the world responds because they have not judged themselves to be corrected of the world that continues to rule in their heart and mind. When I shake their world, fear confusion, uncertainty, doubts, and shall toss them to and fro as the storm that battered the little house that was in the second globe. You saw how both of these little globes appeared identical as long as they were left alone; that is, they appeared the same until adversity and trouble arose that shook their world. The vessels of honor, they shall respond to my shaking in a sound mind; a mind that is without any fears, or uncertainty, or worry, or hopelessness, or stress, or confusion, or doubts, or unbelief. When all goes well, the vessels of dishonor appear to be as the vessels of honor, having a sound mind, but that is before the storm comes; for in the Day of the Lord, all that which a man has trusted in shall be revealed.
I Corinthians 11:31-32 “For if we would judge ourselves, then we should not be judged; for when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord so that we should not be condemned with the world.”
Malachi 4:1-2 “For, behold, the Day comes that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble: and the Day that comes shall burn them up”, says the Lord of hosts, “so that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But to you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and you shall go forth and grow up as calves of the stall.”
Luke 21:25-26 “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring, and men's hearts failing them for fear for looking at those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”
Isaiah 13:6-13 “Howl ye; for the Day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint and every man's heart shall melt; and they shall be afraid. Pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them and they shall be in pain as a woman that is in travail. They shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. Behold, the Day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Joel 3:13-16 “Put you in the sickle for the harvest is ripe. Come, get down; for the press is full and the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. Multitudes and multitudes in the valley of decision for the Day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened and the stars shall withdraw their shining. The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.”

Every man is going to respond to my shaking according to the wisdom that is in him. Did you see how the first globe responded to my shaking; peaceably and as quiet as the gentle snow fall? The wisdom that comes from above is more pure than snow and it is then peaceable, gentle, and full of good fruits; and the fruit of my wisdom is a sound mind that does not become fearful or troubled when its world is shaken because there is only peace in my wisdom. It is during the time that I shake the heavens and the earth that you will be able to see clearly the fruits of the wisdom that is in a man; whether it be the wisdom of God or the wisdom that is of this world. Those whose wisdom is of this world will always respond foolishly because when the storms of adversity and trouble come, when situations and circumstances arise that go beyond the limitations and boundaries of man’s power and control, then comes forth fruits of this world’s wisdom which are seen in fear, worry, frustration, anxiety, anger, doubts, hatred, unbelief, confusion, depression, stress, evil suspicions, and panic. Those who have sought for, and obtained, and have been corrected by my wisdom, they shall respond always respond peaceably and quietly assured in their confidence and faith in me because that is the nature of my wisdom. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit and an evil tree shall not be able to bring forth good fruit.
James 3:14-18 “If you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, then do not glory; and lie not against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish; for where envying and strife are, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.”
Jeremiah 4:22 “For my people are foolish; they have not known me. They are senseless children and they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.”
I Corinthians 3:19 “The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am coming. The vessels of honor are mine; those precious vessels that have surrendered their hearts and minds unto me. I am coming for those who have allowed for me to correct them with my wisdom. I am the wisdom of God. I am the Prince of Peace. I am the peace of God that rules in the hearts and minds of those who have wisdom of God dwelling in their temple. I am the peaceable fruit of righteousness that dwells in those who have been transformed in their correction. When the peace of God rules, I rule; and where I rule, Father rules also. Have I not said that those who love me, they will keep my words, and my Father and I will come and make our abode with him? So then, when the peace of God rules, there are no circumstances or situations that can arise in this world that are able to overthrow my wisdom, lest the kingdom of God fall into the Darkness. It is for this reason that when I shake the world of the vessels of honor, they shall not see any great trouble; for my shaking will be no more to them than that great storm was that came up when I was asleep in the boat.
Malachi 3:16-17 “Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine”, says the Lord of hosts, “in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.”
Ps 111:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom….”
Romans 12:2 “And do not be conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Romans 8:6 “…to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”
John 14:23-24 “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”
James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

It shall not be so when I shake the world of the wicked and the uncorrected; the world of those who sought to save their lives in this world rather than to sacrifice unto the Lord the wisdom that is of this world. So then, when I shake their world, the wisdom of this world, that which they trusted in and esteemed to be their own, shall then dictate to them how they should respond. Shall it be said that a man is of a sound mind that responds to the circumstances and situations that arise in his life with confusion, anxiety, and paranoia? Those who refused to take up their cross to crucify unto themselves this world’s wisdom shall then live unto the torments that come forth out of this wickedness and perversion. I have sent messenger after messenger to tell my people that they are not prepared for my coming; that is, they are not prepared when I come to shake their world. These have made light of the instructions of my words and chosen to follow after the vain and lifeless doctrines of men; doctrines that do not even allow for me to destroy the wisdom of this world, which is the enmity of the carnal mind. O, the trouble that awaits the foolish who have chosen the wisdom and the doctrines that have allowed for them to make themselves to be lord and god over their own Christianity. How shall they stand when I come to shake their world? The wise shall be sealed in peace while the foolish shall be filled with the wickedness of fear and confusion. I am coming.
Malachi 3:2 “But who can endure the day of his coming? And who can stand when he appears?”…
Ezekiel 13:3-6 “Thus says the Lord God, “Woe to the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit and have seen nothing! O Israel (the church), your prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. You have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord (when the Lord comes to destroy the enmity of the carnal mind that is not subject to him (II Cor.10:3-7). They have seen vanity and lying divination saying, “The Lord says”: and the Lord has not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.”
Ephesians 6:10-13 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil; for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (fears, doubts, confusion, pride, and unbelief). Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God so that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.”
Proverbs 24:5 “A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increases strength.”
Isaiah 33:6 “And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times and the strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.”

I am coming. Who is that wise servant who has heard my words and believed them? Who has prepared himself for my coming? Whose house shall stand when I appear? Who is that wise and faithful man who believed the counsel of my words and set his heart to seek for those treasures that are in heaven? Who has set his affection on the spiritual gifts and spiritual blessings that come only from above? I know who they are because their prayers are before me. They have asked and I have freely given to them. Has not my word declared that my wisdom, the wisdom that comes from above, is to be more desired than all of the riches, all of the wealth, all of the fame, all of the money, and all of the treasures of this world? Has not my word said, “Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom…”? Only a fool does not understand the priceless value of my wisdom; the same wisdom that is so freely and liberally given to those who seek and ask for her. Can it be anymore simple than that? Who then is that foolish and wicked servant who has sown his hopes in the wisdom of this world that desires only to have those riches and treasures that are of this world? When men’s hearts begin to fail them for fear and confusion, what price then would a man pay to have sound mind full of peace?
Proverbs 4:7-8 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote you. She shall bring you to honor when you do embrace her.”
Luke 12:42-44 “And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward whom his Lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord shall find so doing when he shall come. Of a truth I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.”
Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where neither moth and rust do corrupt and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust do corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
Colossians 3:1-6 “If you then are risen with Christ, then seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above and not on things on the earth. For you are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God; and when Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory. Therefore mortify your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience…. 14-15 And above all things put on love, which is the bond of perfection; and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also you are called in one body; and be you thankful.”

Colossians 2:3 “In whom (Father & Christ) are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
Romans 11:33-34 “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments (decisions; purposes), and his ways past finding out! For who has known the mind of the Lord?
Proverbs 8:17-21 (The wisdom of God is still speaking from verse 12) “I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honor are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment so that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.”
Proverbs 4:7-9 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding. Exalt her and she shall promote you. She shall bring you to honor when you embrace her. She shall give to your head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to you.”
Philippians 2:5 “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who thought it not robbery to be equal with God.”
Proverbs 2:6 “For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.”

Consider this: There was a day when all the hearts of all the righteous and mighty men of Israel failed them for fear at looking that that which had come upon them; the day that Goliath appeared before the armies of Israel to defy God and to challenge any Hebrew man to come out and fight against him. Whose world did Goliath shake? Did he not shake King Saul’s world? Did he not also shake the world of priests and the righteous men of Israel? Was not each soldier shaken in his heart and his mind? How could this be so? How could one man cause the hearts of so many to faint in fear and to forget that their God was the only true God, the Creator and Maker of all things? Had I forsaken Israel? Did I quit being the God of Israel because Goliath caused all the hearts of my people to faint and to shake with fear? Was it I that had forgotten my people or was it that my people that had forgotten me? Where was their belief, their trust, their loyalty, and their faith towards me? Was I not still their Lord, their God, and their Savior? Am I a God whose heart faints at the sight of giants or that fails before any of the powers of Darkness? Am I a God that would leave and forsake my people in the times of adversity or trouble? Now I ask you to consider this: Was it Goliath that caused my people to tremble and shake, or was it the wisdom that was in them that dictated to each man in Israel that they should cower before their fears. Remember that I have said unto you that each man always responds to the situations and the circumstances that arise in his life according to the manner of wisdom that is in him.
1 Samuel 17:4-11 “And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span (almost 10 feet). And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was 5000 shekels of brass. And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed 600 shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him. And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel and said to them, “Why are you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose you a man among you, and let him come down to me. If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall you will be our servants, and serve us. And the Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.” When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

It the wisdom of this world that deceives men into believing that are able to take control over their lives, to be their own lord and god; even deceiving them into believing that they are able to make themselves to be lord and god over their own Christianity. The wisdom of this world is that which gives power, and strength, and life to all pride, to all fear, to all confusion, to all anger, to all doubts, to all anxiety, to all hatred, to all stress, to all bitterness, to all anger, to all unbelief, to all frustration, to depression, to all panic, and to all worry when circumstances and situations arise that go beyond the abilities and control of men. She, the wisdom of this world, is the source of the wickedness and the foolishness that arises in the hearts of my people that tempts them to forget their God, working to keep them from calling upon the name of their God in the time of the times of adversity and trouble. The wisdom of this world labors relentlessly through carnal imaginations to bring forth thoughts that hinder my people from drawing near to me.
Isaiah 47:10 “For you have trusted in your wickedness and you have said, “None see me”. Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you and you have said in your heart, “I am, and there is none else beside me”. Therefore shall evil come upon you and you shall not know from where it rises: and trouble shall fall upon you and you shall not be able to put it off. Desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know.”
I Corinthians 3:19 “The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.”
Isaiah 29:13,14 “Wherefore the Lord said, “Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth and with their lips they do honor me, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the precept of men; therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid (that is, if you give God the permission to do so)”

But who is it asks the Lord God to do this wonderful and mighty work so as to allow their hearts to draw closer and closer unto God? We have not because we ask not!

O, how all these mighty men in Israel thought within themselves that they were so strong and righteous in their faith; but they were blind to see that their strength and their faith stood in the wisdom of this world, and not in the power of God. Then when Goliath appeared, this wisdom then dictated to them that they should bow their hearts to cower in fear and dread. O, what a mighty storm of fears and confusion their wisdom stirred up in the imagination of their thoughts; the same storm that arose that troubled the hearts of the 10 spies whose hearts fainted when they also saw giants inhabiting the land that God had promised to his people Israel. She it is, this whorish wisdom of this world that directs the faithless to respond in such a cowardly and foolish manner before men and before God. Remember Peter, how he also thought within himself that he was such a mighty man of God, that he thought within himself that he had the faith in himself that would gladly go to prison for my name’s sake and that he was even willing to die for me? But before the cock crowed the very next morning, his faith had failed him. As it was with the 10 spies and the armies of Israel, also was it with Peter. O, the deceitfulness and the wickedness that is dictated to my people by the wisdom of this world.
I Corinthians 2:3 “And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with the enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power so that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”
II Corinthians 12:9-10 “And he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then (after he calls out on the name of the Lord) am I strong.”
Numbers 13:30-33 “And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.” But the (10) men that went up with him said, “We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.” And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel saying, “The land, through which we have gone to search, it is a land that eats up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”
Luke 22:33-34 “And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, I am ready to go with you, both into prison and to death”. But Jesus said, “I tell you Peter that the cock shall not crow this day before you shall deny three times that you know me.”

None of these men were able to understand at that time their faith was not the true faith but the faith that stands in the wisdom and power of men; that illusion of faith that proves itself by the righteous works and good intentions that are performed according to the strengths and abilities of men rather than of God. This faith that stands in the wisdom of this world is powerless to overcome the fears that cause the hearts of my people to faint in the day of adversity and trouble because it bows before the fears rather than calling on the name of the Lord. The wisdom of this world tempts my people to compare and measure their own abilities and strengths against the abilities and the strengths of others rather than to compare and measure them against the unlimited abilities and greatness of God’s strength. The wisdom of this deceives many into believing that they are great men of God so as to keep them seeking to know the greatness of God into their lives. Not only did Peter flee when his faith failed, but so did the rest of the apostles flee when their faith also failed them because of the same fears after they saw their Shepherd betrayed and led away captive. And so shall it be in the days ahead when I shake each man’s world, to try every man’s heart according to the work of the wisdom that is in him. Many hearts of those who think within themselves that shall be able stand in their own faith shall fail them because of the wisdom of this world that is within them; and just like Peter, they will even deny that they know me. By the wisdom of this world, my own people did not believe on me; they did not know me, they did not receive me, they did not stand with me, they did not trust me, nor did they remember any of the counsel of my words; and by the deceitfulness of their wisdom, they did reject me, they did mock me, they did persecute me, and they did crucify me.

1 Corinthians 1:21 (AMP) “For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive and recognize and know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching [salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him], to save those who believed (who clung to and trusted in and relied on Him).”
Luke 21:25-26 “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring, and men's hearts failing them for fear for looking at those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”

Jeremiah 33:3 “Call upon me and I will answer you, and I will show you great and mighty things that you do not know.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many years ago, when the Lord began to correct me of my faith and my wisdom, he spoke to me and said, “Mitt, I am not going to make you great in your own eyes, but I am going to become great in your sight.” I immediately became excited because I knew that the only way it would be possible for the Lord to become great and mighty in my eyes was if he did great and mighty things for me; and thanks be to God, he has, and still is. Sadly, many will never come to know him who is great and mighty because they choose to satisfy their own desires to make themselves to be great and mighty.

I always have a remnant, a people who I have chosen because they desire to know me; a people who refuse to bow the knee of their hearts to allow themselves to be dictated to by the wisdom of this world. I have always had a Joshua, or a Caleb, or a David, or a Mary Magdalene; a remnant that have a different spirit within them, the spirit of wisdom that comes from above. Do you think that it is possible for the wisdom of God to surrender itself to anything other than God? Has not Father made me to be wisdom for you? I am not fearful of any circumstance or situation that arises in this world, for I have overcome the world and the wisdom that rules it. I am sovereign over all; and neither is there any of my remnant that is fearful because they have my wisdom in them; the wisdom that knows that I am sovereign over all situations and circumstances. My wisdom knows no fear or dread. My wisdom knows no worry or anxiety. My wisdom knows no hopelessness or doubts. My wisdom is strength and might; a boldness that never cowers in fear at any of the things that are seen in this world. My wisdom trusts only in Father. My wisdom loves Father. My wisdom believes only the counsels of my Father’s words. My wisdom only bows to Father. My wisdom is only faithful and loyal to Father. My wisdom will only follow Father’s voice. Father has made me to be his gift unto all who have me. My chosen are those who have a different wisdom in them than those who are this world; a wisdom that does not think to betray me; or to forget me, or to depart from me, or to go awhoring from the counsels of my words, or to flee from me in fear; for I am the wisdom of God that redeems you from the wisdom of this world. I am the loving spirit that will casts out all of your fears. I am the gift of God; and I am freely and liberally given to all who ask for me. I am the Prince of Peace, and all who have me within shall have peace at all times, even when their world is shaken.
Numbers 14:24-25 “But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.
Psalm 51:6 “Behold, you desire truth (Jesus: John 14:6) in the inward parts; and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom (Jesus: I Cor.1:30).”
I Corinthians 1:30 “But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who God has made unto us wisdom…”
Psalm 23:4 “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil because you (the wisdom of God) are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.”
Zephaniah 3:13 “The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and nothing shall make them afraid.”

Every heart that has my wisdom hidden in the treasury of its heart is the heart that is beautiful in Father’s eyes; for my wisdom focuses (looks) only on Father’s faithfulness, on Father’s abilities, on Father’s strength, on Father’s might, on Father’s love, and on Father’s power. My wisdom is the wisdom of God; and the wisdom of God is my wisdom. I am the wisdom that knows that God alone is sovereign in power over all principalities and powers, over all sins and iniquities, over all sicknesses and diseases, over all governments and kingdoms, over all spirits and all flesh, over all circumstances and situations, over the light and the darkness, and over all life and death. Who or what shall make me afraid? Those who have my wisdom have the wisdom of God; and they are able to walk through the valley of the shadow of death without any fear as to what they might see. My remnant are a peculiar people, a people who do not fear the fears or dread the dreads as those do who are oppressed by the wisdom of this world. My wisdom is the very breath of the power of God; the breath that gives life. I am the wisdom from which all things were created; and that which creates is never fearful of that which has been created.
Psalm 62:11 “God has spoken once; twice have I heard this: that power belongs unto God.”
Isaiah 8:11-13 “For the Lord spoke this to me with a strong hand, and he instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people saying, “Do not say, “A conspiracy”, to all them to whom this people shall say, “A conspiracy”; neither fear you their fears, nor be afraid.” Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.”
I John 4:18 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”
1 Peter 2:9-10 “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people so that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; which in times past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”

When Goliath came forth to defy my people as well as my name, I had already found my chosen one. I had found him whose heart had chosen me; that is, I had found him who had willingly chosen to let me alone be his Lord, his God, and his King. I knew that if I would make him king over my people Israel, then he would be just as willingly to allow for me to be Lord, and God, and King over my people Israel as he was for me to be these things over his own heart. David had no desire to take any authority of himself. I chose him who was willing to surrender all control and authority to me; to let me be Lord and God over all the situations and circumstances that would arise in his life, as well as in all of the things that would arise upon my people. Is it not written, “I will not give my glory to another”? I alone am the Champion of my people; I alone am the Deliverer of my people; I alone am the Protector of my people; I alone am the Redeemer of my people; I alone am the Provider of my people; I alone am the Physician of my people; I alone am Judge of people; and I alone am the Savior of my people. The heart that is full of my wisdom is the heart that surrenders and allows for me to be all things to my people.
II Kings 19:15 “And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said, “O Lord God of Israel, which dwells between the cherubims; you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: you have made heaven and earth.”
Psalm 83:17-84:1 “Let them be confused and troubled forever; yea, let them be put to shame and perish so that men may know that you, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, are the most high over all the earth.”
Isaiah 43:12-13 “I have declared, and I have saved, and I have shown, when there was no strange god among you; therefore you are my witnesses, says the Lord, that I am God. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work but who will let me?”

The wisdom of this world never surrenders to me because she only surrenders to SELF; that is, she only desires for SELF to be in control. She is the enmity of the carnal mind that always resists the counsels of my words and contends with my will. She is the wickedness that comes forth in the imaginations of those who think evil of me, refusing to believe or to follow after me. My will is for my people to allow for me alone to be their Lord, and their God, and their King. I found David because he was seeking after the will of my heart, and I am always seeking for those who are willing to worship me in spirit and in truth. The truth is that I alone am God, and only by the spirit of my wisdom are people able to worship Father in Sprit and in truth, willingly and humbly. So when I found David, I blessed him in the same manner that I had blessed Joshua and Caleb, with the spirit of my wisdom that would allow for his heart to always be completely surrendered unto me. In David I found a man who I could make to be a king, but he would continue to allow for me to display my love, my works, my faithfulness, my mercy, and my power before my people so that they would all know that I alone am God. By reason of my wisdom in him, David not once focused on any of the strengths, or the abilities, or the size of Goliath, but rather his focus was stayed completely on my strengths and on my abilities; which was unlike the all the mighty men of Israel that were cowered in fear because of the sight of Goliath.
Nahum 1:11 “There is one that comes out of you that imagines evil (unbelief; doubts; scorn; pride) against God, a wicked counselor.”
John 4:23-24 “But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
Romans 1:22 “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…25 and they changed the truth of God into a lie, and they worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”

I am coming. I am coming to shake the world. When I shake the world there will be no shaking that will not be experienced by all of the inhabitants of this world; and with the shaking I have made a way for escape for those who trust in me; and the way of escape that I have made is for you to allow for me along to be your Lord, your God, and your King. Those who will not hear this shall not be able to escape. I am the way; I am the way of escape; I am the wisdom that allows for Father alone to be Lord and God. I am the wisdom that surrenders to Father’s love. I am the wisdom that is only mindful of the things of God. I am the wisdom that is well-pleasing in the sight of God. Remember, I am not a man who looks on outward appearances, but I am he who clearly sees the intents and the desires of all hearts. Neither Caleb, nor Joshua, nor Mary Magdalene, nor young David were esteemed in the sight of their brethren; and that is because they all had a heart that sought to please me, and not other men. Yet, when adversity, or trouble, or persecution arose, I saw the beauty that was in their inward parts; for not once did they take thought to faint, or to flee, or to be troubled, or to fear because I was the wisdom within that never regards to believe any such earthy thoughts. I am the wisdom that is able to sleep through the worst of storms. I am the wisdom that is peaceable, even when the world is being shaken. I am the wisdom that gives peace when the circumstances and situations arise in this life that allows for the wisdom of this world to dictate fear, or dread, or worry, or confusion. I know the thoughts that I think towards you; thoughts to give you peace in all things. I am the wisdom that is a gentle storm of peace. I am the wisdom that increases faith and that perfects belief when the circumstances and situations of this life seem hopeless and impossible. I am the gift of God that is freely and liberally given to all who seek and ask for me.
Isaiah 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts and neither are your ways my ways”, says the Lord.
Romans 8:5-8 “They that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh (fears, doubts, worries, stress, pride, etc); but they that are after the Spirit mind the things of the Spirit (faith, belief, joy, love, trust, humility, etc). For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”
Proverbs 16:3 “Commit your work (ask him to do it) unto the Lord, and your thoughts shall be established.”
Jeremiah 29:11-13 “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you”, says the Lord. “Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall you call upon me; and you shall go and pray to me, and I will hearken unto you. And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.”
Romans 8:6 “…for to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”

I am coming. I am coming to judge the world. I am coming to judge the Darkness that appeared as the Light, to expose all hypocrisy and the self-righteous works of men. I am coming to shake the world, to expose all things that are not of me. I am coming to judge the wisdom of this world, the arch enemy of God, the enmity of the carnal mind, that great whore that seduces all who are led by her to believe that their purpose of being is to be their own lord and god. I am coming to judge all things that exalt themselves above God and that oppose every move of the Spirit of the Lord. I am coming to make foolish all things that have been esteemed and honored above the righteousness of God. I am coming to judge and expose all that which worships the creature rather than God. I am coming to expose the idolatry of SELF worship, the gods of this world’s wisdom. I am coming to judge the idols of self-will, self-confidence, self-sufficiency, belief in self, self-justification, self-taught, self-importance, self-image, self-esteem, self-intelligence, self-trust, self-consciousness, self-respect, self-responsibility, *self-control, self-determination, self-reliance, and self-glory. These are the idols that the wisdom of this world entices my people to believe on and trust in. These are the idols that deceive men into crowning themselves to be their own lord and king, even over their own Christianity. I am coming to shake the world until all things which are not of me are no more. Which of these idols were able to help the armies of Israel when Goliath appeared? Which of these idols will be able to help my people when I shake their world?
*Many Bibles have translated the Greek word “enkrateia” to mean “self-control”; which is also one of the fruits of the Spirit of God; but there is no “self” in the Spirit of the Lord. The proper meaning of this word is “strength”; the strength that comes from God that is given to those who ask and receive his wisdom: Proverbs 8:14 and Proverbs 24:5 There is no “SELF” in the spirit of the Lord because it is the Spirit is just that, the Spirit that is of God. A temperate man is a man who walks in the Spirit, under the power of God: Galatians 5:16 and Romans 8:13.
Philippians 2:21 “For all seek their own (the things of SELF) and not the things which are Jesus Christ's.”
Isaiah 2:8-12 “Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made (their own self-image). And the mean man bows down, and the great man humbles himself: therefore do not forgive them. Enter into the rock, and hide you in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon everyone that is proud and lofty, and upon everyone that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low.”
I Corinthians 10:13-14 “There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape so that you may be able to bear it. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.”
Luke 17:33 “Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.”

When I shake the world, the winds will blow, the storms will rage, and the waves will relentlessly beat on those who are of the house of faith. Those whose faith stands on the rock of God’s love, God’s wisdom and God’s power, their house shall stand; but those whose faith stands in the wisdom and power of men, their houses shall crumble and fall; and great shall be their fall. When the storms come, many will find themselves in what appears to be hopeless and impossible situations and circumstances concerning their finances, or their security, or their health, or their safety, or their provision, or their jobs, or their life; but nothing shall be hopeless or impossible for those whose faith stands in the wisdom and power of God. Shall anything be impossible for those whose faith stands on the rock of God’s love, wisdom and power? Love believes all things; and all things are possible for those who believe on the Lord. It shall not be so with those whose faith stands in the wickedness of man’s pride and wisdom, for they shall not be able to stand. When the wicked say, “Peace, Peace”, then shall fear overthrow their thoughts when they see what I am going to do to shake their world. There shall be no peace for those who delight in being their own lord and king.
Matthew 7:24-27 “Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock; and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it did not fall: for it was founded upon a rock.
And every one that hears these sayings of mine and does not do them, he shall be likened unto a foolish man who built his house upon the sand; and the rain descended, the floods came, the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”
Isaiah 57:20-21 “But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace to the wicked”, says my God.
Revelation 14:10-12 “The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night who worship the beast (Rom.1:25; creature) and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
Hebrews 3:18-19 “And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who did not obey? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.”
I Thessalonians 5:3-6 “For when they shall say, “Peace and safety”; then sudden destruction comes on them as travail comes on a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But you brethren are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep (our brethren that are without the knowledge and wisdom of God; I Cor.15:34) as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”

When Goliath appeared he shook the hearts and minds of my people, but when I come, I will not only shake their hearts and their minds, but I will also shake cities and nations, the sun, the moon, and the stars, the mountains and the seas, and the very foundations of this fallen world”, says the Lord. “I will shake, and I will shake again, and I will continue to shake until all idols have been destroyed. I am going to shake the earth until I alone am Lord and God in the land. I am going to shake the land until there is none left who delight in being their own lord and god. I am going to shake until there is no value left in the crowns of those who made themselves to be lord and god. As long as those who are wise in their own eyes continue to hold to the idols of their own abilities and strengths, then I will continue to shake their world. I did not create man to worship any of the idols of SELF; this is the corruption of this world’s wisdom. Out of my love for them, I will shake their world to give all an opportunity to repent. Even so, many will not repent but will hold on to the riches and treasures of their own wisdom; the love that they have their idols of SELF. Take heed, for the time is short. Those who refuse my voice now, where will they go and will they hide when I come to shake their world? Where shall they go to escape or to find any peace or rest for their souls? What price then would a man pay for the wisdom that comes from above that is peaceable and gentle? How valuable then will it be for that which could have been freely given? It is time for God alone to be Lord and God. It is time for the kingdoms of this world to become the kingdom of God”, says the Lord.
Revelation 6:4 “And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth; and that they should kill one another: and there was given to him a great sword.”

Matthew 5:20 “Jesus said, “I say unto you that except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
Revelation 16:8-11 “Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory. Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.”
Isaiah 2:17-21 “And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day; and the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver and his idols of gold which each man had made for himself (self-image) to worship, to the moles and to the bats to go into the clefts of the rocks; and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake terribly the earth.”
Philippians 2:9-11 “Wherefore God also has highly exalted Jesus, and has given him a name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in the earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Revelation 11:15 “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven saying, “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ”; and he shall reign forever and ever.”

I have asked this question, “Why would any think to call me Lord if they are not going to do that which I have asked of them”? Why; because they have no delight in surrendering their hearts and minds to believe on, or to trust in me, or to allow for me to be their Lord and God. These are they who have refused to take up their cross to crucify the enmity within that cannot subject itself to voice of my counsels. O they may hear my voice, but they will not be able to comprehend my words. Is it possible for a man to do that which he does not understand? Many do not understand that the way that I have chosen for you to escape out this fallen world of Darkness is for you to allow for me to be your Lord and your God, and to be the Father who loves you; but only those who have been converted and become as little children will be able to follow me. Only my wisdom is able to convert a man so that he may believe on and trust me with all of his heart, and look only to me for all of his provision. The wisdom of this world, the works of darkness, seeks always to blind the hearts, the minds, and the eyes of my people to keep this truth hidden from them so that they will turn them out of the way that I have chosen. She is always working; enticing, deceiving, seducing, and tempting my people with her reasons, or her doubts, or her fears, or her unbelief, or her excuses, or with her pride in her attempts to keep my people from drawing near to the love of God. All those who surrender to her counsels will respond to her thoughts as a trained beasts responds to its master; and just like Israel bowed their heart to her fears when they saw Goliath, so also will those who continue in this world’s wisdom bow there hearts to paranoia and confusion when I come to shake their world. Was I Lord over my people on the day that Goliath appeared before them? Though I winked at their idols in times past, I do not wink at them this day.
Luke 6:46 Jesus said, “Why do you call me “Lord, Lord”, and do not what I say?”
Romans 8:5-8 “They that are after the flesh do mind (regard; obey) the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit do mind the things of the Spirit; for to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. The carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God and indeed it cannot be. So then they that are of the flesh cannot please God.”
Philippians 3:18-21 “For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ (the daily cross that allows for God to destroy this world’s wisdom) whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly (this world’s wisdom), and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things (carnal thoughts). For our conversation is in heaven; from where also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall change our vile body so that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”
I Corinthians 1:18,19 “For the preaching of the cross (daily cross) is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent”. (The Lord will do, but who will ask him to do so?)
Matthew 18:3 “And Jesus said, “Verily I say to you, “Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

Isaiah 29:13-14 “Wherefore the Lord said, “Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth and with their lips do honor me, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.”
Acts 17:29-30 “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device; and the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent.”

Many will turn aside to worship the creature, the beast within, willingly choosing to subject themselves to the power and authority of the wisdom of this world. Though I have called them, they have made themselves to be the enemies of the cross that I have you all to take up if you desired to follow after to me. These, my enemies, in their blindness think that there purpose of being is to daily worship and serve the desires and pleasures of the idols of “Self”; for they shall live, and move, and have their being in self-reliance, self-importance, self-will, self-confidence, self-righteousness, self-preservation, self-exaltation, self-taught, self-sufficiency, self-justification, self-image, self-esteem, self-consciousness, self-intelligence, self-trust, self-respect, *self-control, self-determination, self-glory, and belief in self. These are they who have praised me with their mouths and honored me with their lips, but when I shake their world, they will flee from me; they will forsake me, they will depart from me; and they will forget me.
Ecclesiates 3:18 “I said in my heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.”
Romans 1:21-25 “Because that when they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, neither were they thankful; but they became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise they became fools, They changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness (self-righteousness; Isa.64:6) through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and they worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.”
II Timothy 4:3-4 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts they shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned to fables.”

Remember that I told you that those who do not know the great love that I have for them shall not be able to stand in the days when I shake their world. They shall not be able to stand because they never believed on me enough to even ask for my love to cast out their fears, or their doubts, or their unbelief; neither did they ask me to increase their faith or perfect their belief. Why did they not ask? Because they did not seek for nor ask for my wisdom; the wisdom that leads all to humble themselves and directs them in what to ask me for. Wisdom is the principle thing. Though I have called many, many of them will choose to walk in that wide and easy path that leads to destruction; but I still have a remnant, that few who know my faithfulness and my love. These have willingly chosen to lay down their lives, haven taken up their crosses and crucified the idolatry of “Self”, so that they might win me, the Christ; the wisdom of God that is the breath of the power of abundant life. These shall live, and move, and have their being unto God; that is, they shall believe on me, they shall love me, they shall honor me, they shall trust me, they shall be faithful and loyal to me, and they shall not depart from me. These are they who have judged the wisdom of this world, and having overcome the world they shall not be touched when their world is shaken because I have sealed them in with my wisdom; that which is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and full of the good fruits of life. When I shake the world, all faith, all strength, all security, all belief, all confidence, all dependency, all hope, and all righteousness that is not of me shall melt away into worthlessness and nothingness; all those things which the deceived have esteemed to be of more value than my wisdom. But the peace of God shall continue to rule in the hearts and minds of those who have been obedient to me.
1 John 4:17-18 “Herein is our love made perfect so that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.”
John 10:10 “The thief comes not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
Proverbs 8:35 (The wisdom of God began speaking in verse 12; and she says) “Whoso ever find me, finds life; and obtains favor of the Lord.”
John 10:17-18 Jesus said, “Therefore does my Father love me because I lay down my life so that I might take it again. No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”
Matthew 16:25,26 “Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any man will come after me, let him deny (dispossess) himself and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

I love all, and I have made a way for all. I love you, and my love has made a way for you. My love has made a way for all to escape. My love shows itself in forgiveness, in mercy, in help, in giving, in direction, in compassion, in faithfulness, and in grace. I am the way of escape. I am the way, the truth, and the life. I am the way that my sheep follow; for my sheep know my voice, and they will not refuse me when I speak. I am the wisdom of God that is in the mind of my sheep; in the mind of those who think that it is not robbery to be equal with God. I am the wisdom that leads in the way of escape. Those who walk in the way that I have chosen are the sheep that follow me; and when my sheep follow me, they take up their crosses to crucify and mortify all their ungodly desires to be their own lord and god. I have chosen the way for you to escape the shaking that is to come; and the way that I have chosen is for you to allow for me to be your Lord and God: period. It is for this reason that Father made me to be wisdom for you; so that through me you might escape the judgment of this world. This is the way that I have chosen; the way that my wisdom will lead you in. For the wise will put all their trust, all their faith, all their love, all of their loyalty, and all their belief in me; they shall take no thought for their own lives because they know that I am the One who takes thought for their lives. My love will never fail them. I am your Lord, your God, your Provider, your Savior, your Father, your Deliverer, your Protector, your Redeemer, and I am your Lover; for you are all the object of my affection. My love is the way, and those who follow my love are those have crucified all things that oppose my love for them. You are my witnesses, witnesses of my love; now go and spread my love.
Hebrews 12:25-28 “See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they did not escape who refused him that spoke on earth, then how much more shall we not escape if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth?
John 10:4-5 “And when he (the shepherd) puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.”
Romans 8:13 “If you live after the flesh (idols of SELF) you shall die; but if you, through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of my body, you shall live.”
Galatians 5:24 “They that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its affections and desires (to be their own lord and god).”
Get wisdom, it is the principle thing; and if any man lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives liberally to all…
