SHAKING THE HEAVENS

Ephesians 2:6 NKJV
…and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus..

Ephesians 6:12-13 NKJV
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the HEAVENLY places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

The shaking of the heavens speaks of a spiritual bombardment of the second heavens where Satan and his cohorts have been operating, to dislodge them from their positions of dominion over the air (2Cor. 12.2; Eph. 2.2).

This is happening over Nigeria, and then sequentially (Acts 1.8), over other nations as the Church in these nations also begin to ‘shake’ Satan and his cohorts by intense spiritual warfare through consistent, effectual, fervent prayer in the Spirit with all kinds of prayer and travail, using the whole armour of God, from our superior position in the third heavens, where we are seated with Christ.

Ephesians 6:18 NKJV: ..praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints..

Once Satan and his cohorts have been shaken out of their position of dominion in the heavenlies through the consistent, effectual prayer bombardment of the Church, then the Lord Jesus will come in the Church (NOT THE RAPTURE) in His perfection and fulness.

In this instance, His coming in the clouds (Lk. 21:27) would refer to the ‘clouds’ of prophetic and apostolic witnesses, who are walking in the FULNESS of the apostolic and prophetic ministry gifts (Eph. 4:8-13; Heb. 12:1).

2Thessalonians 1:10 NKJV ..when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified IN HIS SAINTS and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

Since these things are ALREADY HAPPENING, we should prepare ourselves to experience the full redemption of our bodies, in the perfection and fulness of Christ, with its consequent fulness of the ability of the mind of Christ.

Firstly, by a borrowed anointing, like the five wise virgins (Matt. 25.1-13) who had extra ‘oil’ in their vessels by watching and praying always, and then later, by inheriting the Spirit without measure personally (Rom. 8:23).

Romans 8:23 NKJV
Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, THE REDEMPTION OF OUR BODY.

Luke 21:28 NKJV
Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because YOUR REDEMPTION draws near.

In order to experience this redemption of our physical bodies in this imminent coming of the Lord to His Church, we should get ready by watching and praying always (Mal. 3:1-3; Luk. 21:36).
