Jace, I can bear witness with you on this.
The moment this revival started, I new why. God is getting his church ready, reviving it to its natural state, to stand in these coming days. We're certainly gonna need it.

Recently, just this last sunday (July 27th, 2008) The Lord knocked me down in church and i literally FELT the ground underneath me shaking. I didn't feel it in my spirit, but I felt it, physically felt the ground shaking. The Lord then spoke to me saying, "I am shaking it all. I'm shaking everything that can be shaken. The only thing that will remain is that which is not shaken." Then monday (I live in socal) I was in starbucks with my dad, and there was 5.8 earthquake. It wasn't typical. It seemed to roll more than tremble or shake.
Anyway, i found this to be interesting timing with the word He gave me.

Secondly, I was taking a shower today, and the Lord spoke to me and said, "Gale force winds."

I still don't know the meaning of this... but i looked up gale and it's basically a very strong wind, equal to hurricane force. I am still praying about what it could mean... But it seems to tie into earthquakes, things being shaken, etc. I know the winds of change were blowing a few months ago... So anyway.

(For the following, I'm not into bashing people, so I will word this as carefully as possible....)

I'm praying for a man named Rob Bell... He may know Jesus, I'm not one to judge that. But i can say this... his doctrine is off. It's very tied with new age teaching I have noticed... the message I get from him is, "let's all get along and be nice." one of his concepts is that God/the Word/Jesus/Christianity is like a trampoline or a bed of springs... it adjusts and flexes and it's very pliable.

Sorry, but the Jesus I know is a ROCK. A solid ROCK. and the word He preaches is black and white. "I bring not peace but a sword."
Jesus came to divide the grey area. To set the halves to black and white and draw the line.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but Rob bell seems to be putting it all into one boat once again... blending a little of the black and a little of the white, into one big grey thing...
If the word of God was so flexible, it could be bent. Not a good thing. Because the word i stand on is a solid word of truth and it is absolute.
I don't agree with his opinion that there is no absolute truth... saying that is an absolute truth statement.

And when his material starts to yeild fruit in loved one's lives which does not align with the word... that's when i question it beyond curiosity.
Since reading his books, my friend's father has felt much ablidged to proceed on with being gay while trying to maintain a relationship with Jesus. He believes that if you have faith that you're not sinning, then you're not sinning. Which is not true.

So anyway, I hope it didn't come off mean. But at the same time, i hope it was stern. We need discernment.

Believe me, I hate when bashing happens... when my brother in Christ, Todd Bentley gets bashed, I take it personally. So i honestly hope i have not bashed this man. i will continue praying for him and just hope he takes a turn for the better.

Stay alert, be attentive, anchor yourselves in God. He warns His children about future events. let it not catch any of us off guard. Let us be prepared for these coming days. And hey!! If nothing happens, GREAT!!! We were prepared though. But I would much rather prepare for something that didn't happen, than not prepare for something that did happen.

By the way, i'm not saying i don't believe this was a word from God. I'm just saying, it really could not hurt to be prepared. It's all scriptural too. Focus on the word, and the Spirit. We need both.
