The following message preached by Derek Prince some years ago is extremely relevant and important for today and contains prophetic words that have truly come to pass in recent months. At this writing tomorrow is September 20th, 2011 which is the first official day of the lifting of the ban on homosexuals in the US military services. This is truly the beginning of the end. Only a rock solid relationship with our heavenly Father through Jesus Christ will keep us from being shaken when God does shake the heavens and the earth at the end of this age.
Psalm 94:12-13
“Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O
LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
That thou mayest give him rest from the days
of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.”
Hebrews 12:25-29
“See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.
For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall
not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he
hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also
heaven.
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the
removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, 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:
For
our God is a consuming fire.”
Haggai 2:6-7
“For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once,
it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens,
and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will
fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.”
Do you
believe in the judgment of God?
John 16:8-11
And when he
is come, he will reprove the world of sin,
and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Of righteousness, because I go to my
Father, and ye see me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of this
world is judged.
Sin: All
unrighteousness is sin
Q: What is
crooked?
A: Anything that departs from that which is straight.
None of us
can escape God’s judgement.
Two
different judgements
- Judgement of condemnation (sinners)
- Judgement of reward (saints)
The same
person who is the savior is also the judge and His name is Jesus. The apostles when preaching to the Gentiles
always presented Jesus as both savior and judge:
Acts 10:42-43
“And he commanded us to preach unto the
people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge
of quick and dead.
To him give all the prophets witness, that
through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.”
In fact God is first mentioned as judge – then
savior.
Acts 17:30-31
“And the times of this ignorance God winked
at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he
will judge the world in righteousness
by that man whom he hath ordained;
whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
Jesus is
equally efficient, thorough and faithful as a judge and a as savior. As a savior he omits nothing. As a judge he omits nothing.
We can see
how the modern day ‘church’ has not carried forth with the true doctrine of our
Lord and apostle(s) when we look at the golden calves (high places) that were
put in Bethel and Dan by Jeroboam (1st Kings 12 and 2nd
Kings 10:29). Today’s Christianity has been
blinded by pride and idolatry in that they have done a two-fold disservice by
disallowing BOTH the power of God as Savior, which is represented by ‘Beth-el’ – which means
House of God (see 2nd Samuel 22:3 and Psalms 62:7) and God as Judge, represented by Dan – which means
‘Judge’.
2 Samuel 22:3
The God of
my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my
high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
Psalms 62:7
In God is my
salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God
The
Parable of the Pounds
Luke 19:11-27
“And as they heard these things, he added
and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought
that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went
into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
And he called his ten servants, and
delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
But his citizens hated him, and sent a
message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
And it came to pass, that when he was
returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be
called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much
every man had gained by trading.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound
hath gained ten pounds.
And he said unto him, Well, thou good
servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority
over ten cities.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound
hath gained five pounds.
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also
over five cities.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here
is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
For I feared thee, because thou art an
austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou
didst not sow.
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own
mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an
austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into
the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
And he said unto them that stood by, Take
from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten
pounds.)
For I say unto you, That unto every one
which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall
be taken away from him.
But those mine enemies, which would not that
I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.”
God expects
a return on his investment. To be a lazy
Christian is to be a wicked servant.
Judgment
at the End of the Age
Nothing that
can be shaken will not be unshaken.
Luke 6:47-49
“Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my
sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
He is like a man which built an house, and
digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock:
and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could
not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like
a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which
the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that
house was great.”
Both houses
were subjected to the storm. Just
because we are ‘believers’ does not mean that things are always going to be
rosy – in fact it will be the opposite.
Q: What is
the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit?
A: Trouble
Building on
the rock is simple – hearing and doing of the teaching of Jesus Christ!
The problem
is not to tell people something that they do not know – but to remind them of
what they do know but don’t want to remember.
Many of us can testify to this by having loved ones that were on the
right way but have been swerved off course by doctrines of demons.
What are some of the things that CAN be
shaken?
Individual lives will be shaken
·
Sickness/disease, poverty, broken marriages
o
Not that these things can’t happen to true
believers but we will be given the strength to endure
Every house divided against itself will be
shaken (Matthew 12:25)
·
No unity, love and peace (in the faith)
·
Un-parented children
o
Not really such a thing as a juvenile delinquent
but more so delinquent parents
o
A police force can maintain order when the majority of
the population is under proper order (not rebellious). But when the majority is under a spirit of rebellion it will not be controlled.
o
At 24:50 in this video a prophetic statement is made
pointing to the recent riots in London that were primary orchestrated by young
people – even pre-teens were looting and causing destruction. The police had their hands tied due to the
numbers of rioters in the streets and were for the most part neutralized.
o
The root of this problem is due to parents lack
of proper training and discipline
Any institution not found on the teaching of
Jesus will be shaken
·
Banks
o
At the time of this video (I’m guessing late 80’s
early 90’s) the US had recently been through the Savings and Loan scandal which
caused an upheaval (or downheaval) in the US economy. This shifting caused a personal debt of $500
per citizen to be incurred. Allegedly, the
current day 2011 incurred per person debt is approximated $47,000
·
Businesses
·
Governments
o
Back then, the old Soviet Union and East Germany
o
Today – name a country
·
Religions
o
Many, many Christian churches will be shaken
Material structures (buildings) will be
shaken
Question to Remember: What is the one thing that God HATES the most?
Isaiah
2:12-19
“For
the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one
that is lifted up; and he shall be
brought low:
And
upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high
and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
And
upon all the high mountains, and upon all
the hills that are lifted up,
And
upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
And
upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
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.”
Isaiah
30:25
“And there shall be upon every high
mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of
the great slaughter, when the towers fall.”
The WHOLE Earth will be shaken
Revelation 6:12-14
“And I beheld when he had opened the sixth
seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth,
even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty
wind.
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it
is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their
places.”
The Heavenly bodies will be shaken
Matthew 24:29
“Immediately after the tribulation of those
days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the
stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:”
Nobody
outside of Christ will not be affected
Isaiah 24:1-6
“Behold, the
LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down,
and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
And it shall
be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his
master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the
seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury,
so with the giver of usury to him.
The land
shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this
word.
The earth
mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty
people of the earth do languish.
The earth
also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed
the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore
hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate:
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.”
Three
reasons why this happens (verse 5) – Charges Against Humanity:
1.
Transgressed the law
a.
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his
blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man – Genesis 9:6.
b.
An eternal edict set by God
2.
Changed the ordinance
a.
Changing the pattern of living that God has
instituted for us – The Family
i.
Women’s liberation movement
ii.
Homosexual marriages
3.
Broken the everlasting covenant
a.
The covenant God has made with men and women
through Jesus Christ
Isaiah 24:17-23
“Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon
thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
And it shall come to pass, that he who
fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh
up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows
from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
The earth is utterly broken down, the earth
is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
The earth shall reel to and fro like a
drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof
shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that
the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings
of the earth upon the earth.
And they shall be gathered together, as
prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and
after many days shall they be visited.
Then the moon shall be confounded, and the
sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in
Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.”
This is not
a negative message being preached! This
is what is going to happen!
Revelation 6:14-17
“And the heaven departed as a scroll when it
is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their
places.
And the kings of the earth, and the great
men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every
bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains;
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on
us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the
wrath of the Lamb:
For the great day of his wrath is come; and
who shall be able to stand?”
Answer to Remember: PRIDE (See Question to
Remember above).
Q: What is
the root cause of His wrath?
A: The
degeneration of human character, which is rooted in pride/idolatry.
Definition
of carnality: anytime we being to think and act and live as if this world is
our home, and we have something permanent here (Hebrews 13:14).
Thank you
Lord for being patient with us.
2nd Timothy 3:1-5
“This know also, that in the last days
perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of
pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the
power thereof: from such turn away.”
Corruption
is irreversible. The only solution is a new
creation – a new birth.
Deliverance
is for the desperate!
Secret undermining
force to this corruption is the occult (witchcraft/sorcery) which emanates from
false religion
2nd Timothy 3:8
“Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses,
so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning
the faith.”
2nd Timothy 3:13
“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse
and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”
Seducers =
Enchanters
2nd Timothy 3:16-17
“All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man
of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
The answer
to this corruption and satanic working is: PREACH THE WORD!!!
2nd Timothy 4:1-2
“I charge thee therefore before God, and the
Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and
his kingdom;
Preach the word; be instant in season, out
of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.”
Matthew 24:14
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be
preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the
end come.”
