The Hour of Shaking

5/2022 Vision: I saw a rod in my hand. The sturdy rod was taller than I am and very straight. It easily supported my weight. Upon further examination, I realized the rod also had a light built into it, kind of like a flashlight. I was using the rod to keep me steady because the ground under me was shaking. It's as if the earth was trembling. The light illuminated the path so that I could be sure-footed.

The Lord impressed on my spirit that the hour of shaking is upon the earth and is going to intensify. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken. As believers, we must hold tight to His Word in this hour. It will be the only thing that will hold us steady. It may seem like His Word is not able to support us under the pressure but it is the only thing that will.

We must believe His promises even when everything around us screams the opposite of what His Word says. The lies and the father of them are producing false manifestations, even lying signs and wonders. You must know that these will not withstand the shaking. They will fall and fall violently. Unless you are strong in the Word and hold tightly to it, you are in danger of falling as well.

In the Old Testament, the rod was about authority and power. In Aaron's hand, it produced signs and wonders that humbled all of Egypt. In our hands, this rod symbolizes walking in truth, standing in truth, and holding tight to truth. To withstand the shaking, we must also exercise our authority in Christ. In our hands, the rod will facilitate miracles of provision, miracles of healing, signs and wonders that shake the kingdom of darkness.

"At that time his voice shook the earth. But now he has promised, 'Once more I will shake the earth. I will also shake the heavens.' The words “once more” point out that what can be shaken can be taken away. I’m talking about created things. Then what can’t be shaken will remain" (Hebrews 12:26-27 NIV). See also Haggai 2:6-7.

The word heavens in that verse refers to the high places of principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness.

Ultimately, God is giving those with a strong grip on His word an opportunity to partner with Him in this shaking that will bring down the lies. I thought of: "Shake and Bake! And I helped."
