The recent earthquakes are the gro
anings of the earth for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed. The movement of tectonic plates represents the shifting of foundations. This is being played out in a clash of kingdoms: kingdoms of the world becoming the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ. This is happening all over the planet.
The volcanic eruptions are a part of this, also. The ash cloud overshadowed Europe, cutting off air travel. Economies are affected and people are powerless to stop it. It has caused thousands of people to be stranded outside of comfort zones, making them alter their lives and plans, causing a shift in focus on how to do business.
It is essential to understand that the battle is happening in the heavens and the earth. It was a poor decision in the face of adverse weather that brought down the Polish airplane, killing the president, his wife and many of the highest ranking military personnel and government advisers. Pilot error. For Christians, it is essential to press through on the assignments from God, listening carefully each step of the way, following instructions completely. He will make a way where there is no apparent way, and this path will be better than planned, and best.
The shifting of foundations will bring down kingdoms. Many people will feel lost and displaced in the new landscape. This is an opportunity to lay for them a new foundation. The migration of populations from places of lack to places of hope demonstrates the need to make room for them and to make a way for them to get there through God’s economy. The migration must increase for the potential is enormous.
Our mandate is to rebuild ruined cities, so we must seek God for the right plans. Human ingenuity is good, but inadequate for the task without divine guidance. We need to stay focused on heaven and allow the transitory things which have outlived their usefulness to pass away. We need to reduce the clutter (including busyness) so that we are not distracted from the essentials.
God’s economic stimulus plan is generosity in taking care of widows and orphans. It calls for being sold out to trusting in God, embracing his goodness, his good heart toward us and his abundant more-than-enough ability to supply us with an unending flow of resource for all of our need in doing that which we are called to do.
God is the ultimate foundation, the Rock that doesn’t move. Faith is our connection to the eternal. The foundations are shifting and it’s about time.
