Has God shake the nations?
- Yes.
- First Egypt on Pharaoh letting the people go.
- Followed by the Babylonians being removed so God's people the Israelites can be released after 70 years of captivity.
- Followed by the Persians came in and conquered the Babylonians.
- Followed by the Greeks came in and Conquered the Persians.
- Followed by the Romans came in and conquered the Greeks.
Why is God shaking the nations?
The end goal of all these shaking is so that God's house can be filled with glory, ie. (A) Second coming of Christ.
In the last days the wealth of the world will be transferred to God's people so that we will be filled with the resources to use for God's Kingdom extension, ie. (B) Desired things of the nation (transferred of wealth when unbeliever accepted the lord)
Revelation 7:9-10

Matthew 24:14
1 Peter 2:4-5
The finger of God is moving the nations of the earth to fulfill His purpose and plans. He has done this since ancient days and He is still doing now. Our God is the ultimate mover and shaker of the nations and our lives.
Make hay while the sun shines. We need to be embolden and rise up and make Jesus famous in 2017
Leviticus 6:10-13
3 phrases to learn from this passage :
(1) Put on his linen clothes (linen clothes help to reduce perspiration)
- Depend on Holy Spirit. We are a spirit, we have a soul (think, want, feel). We live in a body (physical world).
(2) Take out the ashes
- To reveal what may have been helpful or useful in the past but needs to be removed now. Or perhaps a complacent lifestyle. Meaning message remains the same but methodology change. "Neoteny" is about the retention of qualities associated with youth like curiosity, playfulness, zest, eagerness, fearlessness, warmth, energy, openess etc.
Proverbs 20:29
(3) Add firewood (the fire can only keep burning if we add new firewood)
- We cannot rely on past anointing or glory. Enquire of the Lord day by day, moment by moment. Rekindle a fresh presence of the Lord, only then we can keep the fire burning.
