I heard the word “Shake, shake, shake!” and then a vision was given of the Lord taking me by the shoulders and shaking me so that the last drop of poo came out. Hallelujah! It was done, and strangely, I was standing fully clothed having my pants on, not down, when it dropped out to the ground.

YIKES, huh? Believe it or not THIS is a wonderful vision! The Lord told us to pray: “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” and there’s no poo in heaven, eh? It’s when we do ONLY God’s will, there’ll be no waste (our doo-doo-…. our doing) that needs to be eliminated. We have life and death in the tongue, and we know that it’s by speaking God’s Word, not by self effort, that we shall overcome death (the carnal mind.) It takes a LOT of shaking to finally speak only life, eh?

After mentioning the good things of his flesh which were highly esteemed by the religious world, the Apostle Paul said that he counted them all but dung (“poo”) that he might win Christ. I believe that all of us are being shaken right now in order to get the dung out of us, and some of us seem to be constipated. But God knows how to “move” us and establish “bowels of mercy” in His people, eh? I suspect that arguing with defending what we believe to be right is one of the last “stinkers” to go. Oh, how “having to be right and having the last say” stops us up! Yes, I have needed to be corrected regarding this, but I don’t believe it’s why I am presently going through a shaking. I was ready to publish this writing last night, but I was restrained by the Holy Spirit from doing so as there was something else He wanted me to know which was revealed to me this morning. I shall write in italics now about what the Lord spoke:

I heard the word “nature’s pride,” and a little while later: “Rachel, remember who you are!” Rachel’s name means “lamb” and its spiritual connotation is “innocence.” I shared in a previous post that the Lord said: “Rachel must die!” and that it’s after her death, that “Benjamin,” the son of the right hand, shall come forth. Power and authority in full measure shall be ours afterwards, not just having the gifts of the Spirit. Now let’s look at “nature’s pride” which keeps us back from having the fullness of God: How many are willing to look foolish for Christ? It isn’t in our flesh-man to be “naked” (fully transparent in the sight of man) AND unashamed. Are we willing to be like the bleeding, unclean woman who by law, should not have been in the midst of the crowd, crawling on her hands and knees to touch our Lord’s hem to get healed,…like the Canaanite woman who persisted in getting her healing even though by law it wasn’t right for her to have it,…. like Abraham who knew it was God’s voice to take Issac as an offering,…. like Hosea who married an adulterous woman,…. like Isaiah who preached half-naked and barefoot for three years,….like Ezekiel who cooked barley cakes in the sight of the people using human excrement as fuel, and others who were required to do strange things?? I wonder. I believe that we are being shaken so that what man thinks will mean NOTHING to us,…. that “propriety” will not be our God,… that we shall be willing to do anything and everything God asks us which goes against “nature’s pride.” Selah!

Now back to the vision I was given: I was standing in it, which reveals that I had taken my stand of faith in Christ. The Bible says that after we do all that we know to do, we are “to stand” (Ephesians 6: 13,) because it’s GOD Who shall finish the work, and when we’re standing, we’re clothed with righteousness and truth even though our flesh still does the things we don’t want to do, and doesn’t do what we should. Yay, we’re not condemned because we are NOT our flesh, and even though we haven’t “arrived” YET into the state of perfection, we shall if we live to please God continuing on in our (His) faith.

It has always perplexed me that it’s written in Hebrews 11: 5 that Enoch, who pleased God, did not see death, yet he was listed among those who died in faith not having received the promises (Hebrews 11: 13.) Yes, He was translated that he did not “SEE death,” but that is not referring to the death of the physical body…. The carnal mind IS DEATH, and what this scripture means is that Enoch never looked at the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil…. It was eating that fruit that brought death and because Enoch didn’t look at it, he didn’t taste and eat it, thus he didn’t experience death, but had a translation out of that death mind into another mind (the mind of Christ) thus changing who he was. His being translated meant that he no longer operated in the self/personality of the carnal nature, and hence, “carnal self” WAS NOT!! This is a type and shadow showing that when we no longer eat the deadly fruit of the forbidden tree, we will be translated into totally heavenly beings (no longer us, BUT CHRIST fully manifested.) Yay, the new “corporate man” comprised of all those who are overcomers will appear on earth, and all men shall behold HIM, the CHRIST manchild birthed and finally manifested. This is why we, believers and unbelievers alike, have been  moaning and groaning all these years. 

So come on, brethren: “Shake, shake, shake!” It’s time we got the “shhhh” out of us!!
