No man has the right to destroy what God is in the process of refining as gold tried in the fire. That being said, God is in charge of all things and his ways are not man’s ways. The war we are in has many names, hash tags, labels, finger pointing, origins, and lots of blathering ideologies. It’s really not about democrats versus the republicans. It’s not about deep state globalists versus patriots. It’s not about conservatives versus democrats and republicans, nor is it about libertarians versus all of them. It’s about IRON AND CLAY, which means the iron of the Roman control over all humanity and mammon, versus the clay of God’s children and all creation. It’s about serving Mammon or serving God.
We can break all these things down into boxes, categories, allegories, and widgets galore… we can make it sound like whatever the imagination desires to make it sound like, but when it is all said and done and the shaking and sifting gets stronger… what can NOT be shaken, SHALL REMAIN.
Hebrews 12:27, “27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.”
It’s about coming out from her my people!
Now all scripture is for our understanding and the chapters and verse divisions in the Word were made, they tell us, so we can easier reference the Word to study it. Yet, when it was written it flowed together on the scroll even written to be read from the right to the left. English reads from left to right and it breaks thoughts down with paragraphs and a list of literary rules. That being said, the very next words after Hebrews 12:28 if it were added and not broken up into the first line in a new chapter …. it would immediately follow with thought provoking and powerful words.
Read it in context with Hebrews 13:1-3 added:
Hebrews 12:28-29, and 13:1-3, “Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire. Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.”
These words lend wisdom to this time of shaking we are in. No man is going to give any man on earth a golden age. Let me explain… God and God alone will do that for it is written that he shall. Man is but an instrument of service to bring about God’s purpose. God has chosen His servants, yet, it is up to those He has chosen to follow Him and obey His voice. God also chastises those he loves. The same that a good father will correct his son when he is going wayward.
Now free will enters into the equation here. For all have been given free will. So, even when a father corrects his child. The child can choose to listen and accept correction or the child can rebel. It is up to the child what he shall do from his heart. Many children are hurt by the disapproval from their father all by itself, without any other form of punishment. Some will not listen even after the most cruel thrashing from the rod. Yet, the Bible is direct that when you teach a child the way to go, even when they go out on their own and live against the will of God, when they reach a point of defeat, they have the teachings that surface to their mind that can now be reflected that can allow them to turn and repent and truly regret their ways. They have the foundation to return to the way they were taught. Never give up on prayers unceasing for your children. God doesn’t, so must we not do so. The example of that was given in the parable of the prodigal son.
Recall the words in Hebrews 12 that preceded the warnings in that which shall be shaken. The Word tells us in verses 5-8, ” 5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.”
So, as we go through these days of shaking of all that can be shaken, we must hold to the ways of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ who said “Judge not lest ye be judged in the same manner.”
Matthew 7:1-3 “Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”
I say this not hypocritically, for I fall short of doing this many times. But, to say this is the teaching and the Lord Jesus who did instruct us to follow Him and said, “Come follow me and do as I do.” This is not always easy, but it is the instruction.
The Lord said in Luke 9:23 “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”
And as we read the whole chapter in its context we also find further instructions. Luke 9:51-56, “51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. (God’s ways are not man’s ways. All things are for God’s purpose)
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? (James and John were ready to punish the Samaritans and wipe them off the earth with fire.)
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. (Jesus was telling them that is not the way of the Spirit of God but the spirit of the ruler of the world. Revenge belongs to God as it is written.)
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. (This is the way we, as followers of the Lord, are to be to all mankind. For revenge belongs to God and God alone. They did not know God’s purpose for the Samaritans, or their hearts, and neither do we know such things of those we judge by their outward offenses. We do not know who shall turn and repent and who shall not. We are to follow the way of the Lord having forgiveness and compassion on others and to show by our obedience in our actions, the way of the Lord.)
So in this shaking it is God and God alone who will get the glory for the Kingdom Coming upon the earth. Not a man nor a team of men. Not a DOGE, and not a leader, although God does appoint leaders to stand in the gap and to use for His purpose. All of this is a testing for God’s children. Where do you place your trust? Whose hands are you placing your life and the future of your children into? Ponder it.
We are in the world, but not of the world. We are all going through the same shaking and the storm is upon us all. We are in the days the Lord spoke of as labor pains and they are getting closer and closer and very painful.
John 16:21-23, “21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.”
That being said, as we go through the shaking of all that can be shaken on this earth and in the heavens…. let us look to the Lord in all things and let us pray for those who God has sent to lead us.
Putting God first in all things and knowing His promise for us is life everlasting and filled with abundance. In this world we will have tribulations, but we are never alone… for the Lord has sent us the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, to teach us all things that the Lord has said and to guide us, protect us, and comfort us. Keep your eyes focused on the Lord and not on the chaos. Amen.
KEEP ON PRESSING INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD! PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!

I HAVE A BETTER PLAN
“The darkness has worked for years fine-tuning a plan to cause such FEAR, PANIC, and CONFUSION that they will be able to step in and TAKE CONTROL of the world. This plan is full of ILLUSION and DELUSION and if you are WEAK in your FAITH or you only have HEAD KNOWLEDGE of Me, you are in JEOPARDY of being DECEIVED. Understand that I ALWAYS HAVE A BETTER PLAN. Remember that I LAUGH at My enemies, and I SEE all the WEAKNESSES in their plans and I KNOW exactly how to DEFEAT them because I HAVE A BETTER PLAN. Their PRIDE and their GREED will be their DOWNFALL because it will keep them from knowing that I HAVE A BETTER PLAN. I AM well able to PREEMPT their evil and clever plan by INSERTING My BETTER PLAN in its place. As the icing on the cake, their ARROGANCE will keep them from seeing that it is MY BETTER PLAN; they will believe it is their DARK PLAN that is unfolding. They will REVEAL who they truly are—all MASKS WILL COME OFF—when they think they are winning. Then, My BETTER PLAN goes into FULL SWING, and I RESCUE the world from the UNMASKED DARKNESS. Their intricate, high-tech, deadly plans will be a DUMPSTER FIRE that they are REQUIRED to WATCH as it BURNS UP all their plans for WORLD DOMINATION and CONTROL. I AM telling you these things so that you WILL NOT BE CAPTURED BY FEAR but you will REMAIN IN FAITH and FIGHTING MODE, as MY BETTER PLAN unfolds. If your FAITH IS WEAK or you only have HEAD KNOWLEDGE of Me, COME TO ME NOW! I will REVEAL Myself to you as the STRONG AND MIGHTY ONE who will RESCUE, PROVIDE, and PRESERVE you as the world moves from dark to Light. Always remember that I HAVE A BETTER PLAN.”

A Watchman’s Journal
Iron and clay, I was just thinking about that today. I remembered a video about a guy that worked for project looking glass. He was talking about how the day came when anything that was put into the computer to tell the evil ones what was coming next stopped giving them an outcome in their favor. What a glorious day for us! That was the day Pi took over Ai. I have been hearing a lot about reaching singularity lately, has anyone else? What I don’t know is … is that singularity of the universe or in spirituality? When I look up what does singularity mean: it means an unusual or distinctive manner or behavior : peculiarity. 2. : the quality or state of being singular. Well isn’t that interesting; Peculiar. if I put that in the Bible gateway.com search, I love it! Love you guys❤️. https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=peculiar&version=KJV
Thank you for the reminder that our trust is in the Lord God only!! As you said, man is only an instrument who can choose to follow God’s way or not. Each day we also make that choice also. My desire is to stay on the straight and narrow path to be pleasing to the Lord. So many do not see or want this though. It is very hard to find others seeking God’s kingdom first. Again thank you for always encouraging us here and helping us to stand strong! 😍🙏 May the Lord bless you!
Beautiful and well done, Dianne. You have a gift for Delivering the real MEAT, with some milk on the side for those who are learning to digest God’s Truths. Love your powerful memes …pictures worth a thousand words.
May all Blessings be yours!!
Dianne, thank you for quoting all of these wonderful Words of the Lord. And in your comment below, there is something I am praying for—
You said, “So in this shaking it is God and God alone who will get the glory for the Kingdom Coming upon the earth.”
With any such shaking, and it feels like it is very close, I want to be ready in my little neck of the woods with a strong witness and a meaningful testimony about the saving grace of my Lord Jesus Christ.
A shaking from God could lead to a massive hunger in our nation for faith and for His Word. A revival of huge proportions could be coming very soon, and we will be in the midst of it, because God has put us here at this moment. And the words of Esther 4:14 will be a motivator for all of us —
“For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS?”
John832
Amen John832.
Hi Dianne,
This article is improperly linking to the previous article.
It is currently linking to: Canada, Ft. Knox, Gold Tried In The Fire!
It should be linking to: Who did what, why, when and where…
Great article!
And just like in the Bible there will be no doubt that it was God alone that did this.
God does not share his glory. Amen
Isaiah 42:8
“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.”
Amen JP
Yes, Yes, Yes, Dianne & JP!
My heart is rejoicing for this, b/c there is so much food here!
I was one of those trouble children who rebelled, and didn’t receive the chastened as a child. There were many things wrong, of course, but as a child, I am commanded to obey my parents.
So, my parents never stopped correcting, chastening, encouraging, teaching & praying for me.
Now, they have both passed away into The Heavens, and I am alone now, and very afraid, and scared at times for my rebellion, but just like Dianne said, my Heavenly Father is bringing all those things to remembrance for me after all these years, and I am being delivered from my abhorrent ways. It was his counsels & chastened that I rebelled against, but they all are STILL WITH ME, and HE IS STILL ALIVE. Mom & Pop gave me his counsels. They did not come from them.
Also, Amen to YHWH not sharing his Glory with another. That’s why we must not trust in anyone else. Mankind in the flesh only wants to steal the Glory, but it is Theft.
Peace!
Amen Dimitri.
