PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS

Shakings are going on now everywhere. But you are standing strong. Nothing shall shake you in the name of Jesus Christ. God had already prepared us for a situation like this, so there is no shaking for us. During the time of shakings, you will be exempted in the name of Jesus Christ. In the months ahead, you will see greater stability than this month in the name of Jesus Christ.

There are benefits in shakings, dark hours, and adversities of life. Inside every shaking, there is a gain. You will not lose the gain in Jesus’ name. Whenever there is a shaking, there is a message. Whenever there is a shaking, there is a gain. You must not lose the gains of the shakings. Do not go through a problem without gaining anything from it. Every challenge is supposed to leave you with a gain. If it will not be gainful, God will not allow it to come to you. If that challenge will devastate you, God will not allow it to come to you. Anything God allows to reach you, there is a gain inside it and you must not miss the gain. May this reality be seen in your life in the name of Jesus Christ. James 1:2-4, “2My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”

Every challenge can leave you either to be bitter or better. But you must choose to be better and not be bitter. Anytime you are dealing with God, complaints complicate the issue more. Instead of complaining, see the good things in that matter. God is displeased when you complain. Every adversity is an opportunity if you can carefully watch and see through. Numbers 11:1, “And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.”

No storm will stop you. No shaking will stop in Jesus’ name. Psalms 20:1-8, “1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; 2Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; 3Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. 4Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. 5We will rejoice in thy salvation, and the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions.  6Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. 7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. 8They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.“

Ephesians 6:13-14, “13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;”

You are the planting of the Lord. The Lord will keep you standing. You will not collapse in the name of Jesus Christ. There is value in the valley. Amid storm, keep standing.

GAINS IN SHAKINGS

1. Every shaking helps you to prioritize correctly in life. It helps you to re-arrange and reorganize. It helps you to focus on what is relevant and what is valuable. It helps you to establish the essentials. It helps you to know what you need.
2. Every shaking reveals the quality of the foundation you are standing upon. It helps you to ascertain whether or not your foundation is dependable, reliable, and available in all seasons. God you believe in, is He a good foundation? The people you trust, are they reliable? Matthew 7:24-27, “24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” 1 Corinthians 3:11, “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
3. Shakings reveal how strong your anchor is. Whether you are well connected or not. It helps you to know if our connection is weak, strong, and tight.
4. It takes away your impurity within and around you. Job 23:10, “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Proverbs 25:4, “Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.”

John 16:33, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

You will never go down; you will always be standing in the name of Jesus Christ. Psalms 34:19, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers him out of them all.”

Whatever you are going through as affliction, you are coming out of it in the name of Jesus Christ. You will not be harmed; you will not be hurt in the name of Jesus Christ. Psalms 34:20, “He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.”

Hardship reveals true friendship. Acts 27:18-24, “18And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; 19And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. 20And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.  21But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. 22And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship. 23For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 24Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.”

In the time of shaking, you will see God practically in your situation.

Prayer:

1. Father, stabilize me, keep me strong, and make me stronger in the months ahead. Oh Lord, stabilize me spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially for the months ahead of me in the name of Jesus Christ.
2. Oh Lord, because of me, the story of my lineage is changing for good in the name of Jesus Christ.
3. Father, let me gain from every shaking in my life. I will never go down with every shaking of life in the name of Jesus Christ.
4. Oh Lord, in every shaking of this season, establish me, sustain me, and preserve me in the name of Jesus Christ.
