All that can be shaken will be shaken

When the enemy shakes, it is to destroy, but God has a different purpose

As Spiritual Leaders and Christian Believers there are seasons of testing (God's Shaking). Until all that we believe in is tested, we don't truly understand the magnitude or magnificence of what we believe. Jesus is teaching us through the events of our lives. When we are open to His answer, when are ready to hear it, He will give it. Times of testing come not to uncover our ignorance but to solidify the things that we have been taught to bring full assurance that the things we have learned are sound, steadfast, and secure. I must say the passing of test are in themselves the qualifying rights to new dimensions of authority and maturity. Only the faith that is challenged is the faith that succeeds. When bad things happen to good people, their seasons of hardship molds their goodness making them even more prepared for the greater success than they could have managed had they not been forced to walk through the bad season. (Psalm 1:3). In the crisis of live we must know that we will win if we refuse to quite. His grace is sufficient. Only through the surviving of a storm is the value of the foundation of your faith made visible to other believers. The Bible is clear, two houses are built , one on rock and one on sand. The structure of the both houses seems comparable from the outside. Seasons have a way of changing, when the sun disappears, the wind, rain, and flood waters all take their turn beating again the two houses, these adverse circumstance are no indicator of the strength of the house. It's the strength of the house's that is only visible when the storm is over. The house built on the sand collapses, but the house on the rock is still standing, a solid foundation on the revealed word of God. God test to build humility, obedience, Love, Faith, spiritual maturity, patience,
