I remember "The SHAKING HAS BEGUN"

Years ago while attending Christ Assembly Church in National City, Ca. my Pastor, Jesse Rose spoke on a vision he had. Basically he talked about how God had shown him that many Christians would be tested over the coming years before his coming and many would fall away. He said that This nation would pull farther from the truths in God word and we are beginning to see that more in evidence today. I too fell away for a brief while. But God forgives and he brings you back into the fold. I have lost my original notes from Pastors teaching but he said that during this testing phase many who think they are strong grounded Christian would fall away from the teaching of the church, they would grab hold of earthly pleasures and ideas and ignore what God teaches us to do.
I know when I fell away, I did so because I was tired of mental abuse I was getting. Sometimes mental abuse is harder on you then physical abuse. For me my Christian walk was greatly effected by the constant chipping away of my self esteem caused by my husband telling me that I was dumb. Here I was a graduate from high school with full honors, who held down a demanding job in a major department store, was dumb. And I guess I was because I let the abuse go on for 10 years. But after counseling with professional and with my Pastor he did not get it. I was still not capable of taking care of myself or my home without being told how to do it. I was stripped of my strength and I let it happen because I believed in the sanctity of marriage. I believed I had to stay with this, but it became to much and I fell. And many like me has also failed, but we can be forgiven and we can come back to Gods fold. This nation is being shaken like it never has. We are being faced with losing those things which our forefathers held dear and that was the freedom to worship God as we chose. The government is trying very hard to take our basic beliefs away from us and we need to take a stand. God says there are no passive Christians. There are only those who believe and those who don't. As Pastor used to say you can not straddle the fence. I am also reminded of the David Wilkerson said, that this nation would fall if we did not turn from our "wicked ways", He quoted scripture that said, "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray I will hear and I will answer." We need to get on our knees and pray as we have never prayed before, and ask God to turn this great nation around and bring us back to his fold where we first started. "THE SHAKING HAS BEGUN.
