I have noticed in the past few weeks a similar thing going on with several of my friends and associates - a shaking. It seems that in the lives of many Christians right now there is a shaking going on. God is shaking everything that can be shaken.
This is not something to fear but it is a process to be encouraged about. If you are experiencing a shaking - it is because God is removing everything that would hinder you from walking in the fullness of His blessings in the next level He is taking you to.
It's a little like spring cleaning process, but not exactly. I know everyone understands spring cleaning, cleaning out all the stuff left over from the cold, dreary season of winter. Yet as I see this process of shaking it is a little different from that season in one aspect.
You see, I do clean at spring time, I spring clean, but I also clean and organize at another season in my life as well - a time that may surprise people. I clean and organize just before Christmas. It's a habit I got into while Breanne was little. You see, at Christmas time, we have such a large family that she would get so much new stuff there would be no place to put it and I would find myself having to re-organize just after the holidays. No one wants to clean after the holidays, after Christmas you just want to stop and rest awhile. Therefore when she was a little girl I began to weed out her toys in November each year. I would give away what she didn't need and make room for the new stuff in anticipation of what was to come.
That is how I see this purging process - this time of shaking. It is not a bad thing - it is God cleaning out the things you don't need before the season in which He brings new things into you life - He is simply making room for the new stuff.
Many people see this season begin and they get nervous. Things start changing. Perhaps they find they are losing their job or that it is slowing down. Perhaps they find that people seem to be exiting their lives suddenly. Perhaps they find that what they thought was a sure thing is now on hold. If this is you and you are seeing these things - don't fear. God is simply shaking those things away from your life that are hindering your blessings. He is making room for the things He has for you.
This is not the time to be discouraged - but to rejoice - it is Christmas in the spirit. Allow God to make room for what is to come. Ask Him to show you what to weed out and what to keep. Ask Him to complete this work in you and to not allow you to hold on to anything that would be detrimental to the new level you are going to.
Never hold on to what God is attempting to remove out of fear. If He is removing it then He only has something better for you. Trust Him to know what is best for you. He has a good plan for your future - a plan to prosper you and to bless you - that is what He makes room for during these times of shaking...blessings that are coming your way.
If this is happening in your life, I would encourage you to rejoice and make room. God is purging all the dead things from your life - for one purpose - to bring forth all the good and new and wonderful things He has for you. Embrace the process and trust Him in it, He will not fail you.
