✨ Those Who Walk With Jesus — Part 16 ✨
For It Was Founded Upon a Rock
📝 Their Message (Summary)
A few years ago this family got serious about emergency preparation—food, water, heat, medicine, all the basics. Then came the real shaking: a pandemic, and even an earthquake that rattled their home in Utah. Their conclusion? These were mercies of the Lord, meant to wake us up and test not just our physical supplies, but our spiritual foundation.
Hebrews 12 says the Lord shakes heaven and earth so “that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” If we are built on Christ, the Rock, we will stand. If not, the shaking reveals what we’ve been trusting instead of Him.
They offer a “spiritual quiz” to help us see whether we are resting on the flesh or on the Rock:
Do we hunger for General Conference because it’s our main spiritual meal? Or do we feed daily on Jesus Himself, the Bread of Life, so that others’ words are a supplement—not our staple?
Do we wait for leaders to call us to fast and pray? Or do we, guided by the Spirit, call our own family and friends to seek God in crisis?
Do we mourn the temple closures as though holiness depended on a building? Or do we see that we ourselves are the temple where Christ intends to dwell, built stone upon stone into His house?
They remind us that compass and square—ancient tools of exactness—are there to teach us to let God construct us with precision. We are His temple. And when the Lord comes suddenly to His temple (Malachi 3:1), it will not be primarily to a building, but to us.
🔥 My Reflection
This post cut me deeply. How often do I outsource my relationship with Jesus—waiting for conference, a talk, or someone else’s revelation—instead of hearing Him myself? They are right: to hunger only for vitamins is a sign of malnourishment. Christ Himself is food and water.
The shaking in my life has exposed how much I lean on routine or culture, instead of on Jesus. And yet it is mercy—because He shakes what can fall, so that only what is eternal remains.
Their “how-to” for receiving revelation is worth gold: come alone with Jesus, ask, surrender your will, test the spirits, write your prayer, and let Him answer. They even warn against making unconscious “agreements” with the enemy—like “I can’t hear God’s voice.” Break those lies, and ask Jesus to interpret His own answers.
🕊️ The Invitation
Will you let Him shake you now, while there’s still mercy in it? Will you be the temple He fills with His Spirit?
Take their challenge: this week, set aside Holy Time. Go into a quiet place with pen, paper, and prayer. Ask Him a simple question. Surrender your will. Wait. Write. Test. Ask again. And watch Him build you into a house that will not fall when the storm comes.
“My feet are on the Rock” is not a slogan—it is a life lived face-to-face with Jesus, drop by drop filling your lamp with oil, until He comes suddenly to His temple—you.
