Here we go--the part of salvation that so many of us misunderstand. It's when Jesus starts "cleaning house. He'll make a clean sweep of your lives. He'll place everything true in it's proper place before God; everything false He'll put out with the trash to be burned." This is an easy-to-read but very hard-to-experience part of our walk with Jesus. It feels like we are being turned upside down; truth is we are being set right side up. It feels like so much is "going wrong" in our lives. Things we used to rely on are not in place; we grasp for familiar props only to find they aren't there anymore. It's withdrawal time. And withdrawal is hell on earth, while it's happening to us. But change your viewpoint, brother, sister. This is the proof of our transformation, our redemption is at work within us. The internal shuffle is a good thing. Time to laugh, thank God, praise Him for what's going on. The feelings will change once your perspective does. Hallelujah, here we go!

Amen! We will definitely feel being shaken and it will be uncomfortable, awkward as well. But we just have to trust God completely! For He is preparing to take us - to the promise land! Hallelujah!
