ALL THAT IS EARTHLY IS BEING SHAKEN
In a dream I saw an army that refused to break rank—for in the midst of all the wickedness and cruel violence that was around them, they were unperturbed. They were going down into the livings waters of praise and worship and coming out on the other side of the river with perfect peace and rest. They are the redeemed of the Lord who have been given a peace that passes all understanding.
"The meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace" (Psalm 37:11).
Joel saw an army of mighty men and said, "They shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks" (Joel 2:7).
God's people will not break rank nor run in fear, because they know they are secure under the precious blood of the Lamb. They know that in spite of all the violence and wrath of men, the body of Christ on earth is in excellent health and is growing stronger every day.
While all that is earthly is being shaken, and world governments are spinning out of control, the true church of Christ is solid and unmovable.
The specter of devastating violence and potential destruction has robbed mankind of peace and security—while at the same time God is bringing His people into their greatest hour of rest and safety. While the ungodly cry for peace and safety and never find it, God's chosen are now possessing great peace and perfect security.
God's people who rest in Him can say with David the psalmist, "If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us: then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: then the proud waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be the Lord who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth" (Psalm 124:2-8).
