We believe that the year 2012 will be a time and season in which God will bring a SHIFT; and with the shift, there will be a shaking. Our scripture reference is found in Hebrews 12:25-29, wherein the writer said, "See that you do not refuse the one who is speaking; for if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject the one who warns from heaven! At that time his voice shook the earth; but now he has promised, 'Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven.' This phrase, 'Yet once more,' indicates the removal of what is shaken---that is, created things---so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks, by which we offer to God an acceptable worship with reverence and awe; for indeed our God is a consuming fire." ~ NRSV
In the shift and shaking that God is doing, there will be a return of the people of God to the foundations of the kingdom of God; His righteousness, peace, and joy, which is in the Holy Spirit. Therefore, whatever does not line up with the kingdom of God (His righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit), will be shaken, and by it being shaken, it will be removed. This is all so that we can operate more effectively in what God has designed for us for His glory.
