UNLESS EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE SHAKEN IS SHAKEN [EXPOSED AND CONSUMED] THEN ONE WILL NOT BE FOUND A "FIT" VESSEL IN THE MASTER'S SERVICE IN THE DAYS AHEAD


...."See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, "YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN." This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire"....
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Hebrews 12:25-29 NASB


          Every child of God can truly rejoice in this time of purging ["deep refining"] because unless everything that can be "shaken" is shaken then one will not be found a "fit" vessel in the Master's service in the days ahead. In other words, if there is ANY part of the soul-life that remains dominant [seeks its own] in the child of God then they will not be able to enter into the fullness of their "Kingdom-position" in Christ - without exception! Not only will one not enter into their proper position but the "ground" of self-desire that they have "held to" will surely "allow" the Evil One to do them great harm in the days of intensified warfare and confrontation that are just ahead. It is not that the Father loves any of His children more than any other. It is simply a matter of being "fit" [having no fear or emotional attachments] to carry out the mighty exploits that He has planned to both devastate Satan and set the captives free - from now until the end of the age. As the child of God holds fast [in faith and obedience] to the revelation that they already have in their heart. It is certain that they will see the perfect love and wisdom of the Father towards them - concerning these past days and months [and even years] - in the glorious days and months ahead. The end product of this is that they will experience nothing but a continually deeper thanksgiving toward Him for His perfect handling and preparation as they enter into ALL that He has called them to from before the foundations of the earth.
