In the recent weeks the Lord has been talking to me about an impending new round of shakings, that are about to be released in the earth and the church. This shaking will bring pressure upon God's people - the purpose of which is to bring us to total dependence upon the Lord in all areas of our lives. To do this, God has to push us to our extremity, where no one can help us through but God alone. The discovery of the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean in 1985 and the subsequent worldwide attention it has received through the movie, is a profound warning from God to the Church and the world. The Titanic was a picture of the state and attitude of the British empire in its day which reflected that period of extravagance and arrogance as well as the belief that nothing could sink their expanding economy and Empire.

Proverbs 16:15 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. The consequence of this attitude is that the ship and Empire are no more. Within two years of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 the world was in the flames of war and their seemingly invincible Empire was about to hit an iceberg which would eventually send it to the bottom of the sea. Within a few more years the stock-market crash of 1928 ushered in an unprecedented world depression.

Just as Britain did not heed God's first warning in the sinking of the Titanic, even so today the world continues on as if everything is going to be alright and this time the consequences will be far worse, PREPARE FOR DIFFICULT TIMES. The world economies are primed for the greatest crash in history. The leaders of today are sailing along with the same arrogance and pride as the crew of the Titanic. Great devastating economic problems are about to sweep across the Nations in waves. Great countries and societies will be collapsing like dominos. In many of these countries there will be a return to the early 1900ts in terms of conveniences and amenities . Hebrews 11: 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

God is going to shake the Nations, very, very soon in a way that they have never been shaken before. God is developing a new kind of faith in those who will submit to His dealings in their lives. This shaking will remove that which is not of God in our lives and bring us to total dependence upon Him in all things.

Exodus 15:23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters off Marah, for they [were] bitter: therefore the name off it was called Marah.
Exodus 15:24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, what shall we drink?

Exodus 75:25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and THERE HE PROVED THEM.

 I read this story of a steel mill recently. On the mill were many cubicles with pieces of steel in them. These pieces of steel had been tested to their limits and marked with figures that showed the breaking point of the steel.
Some steel had been twisted until it broke, others had been subjected to enormous pressures, some had been compressed. The tensile strength was marked on each piece. The manager of the mill knew just how much pressure each piece could stand under what strain. He then knew what steel could be used to build a huge ship which would withstand the storms it would encounter. He knew what steel could be used to build a bridge. He knew all this because the testing room had revealed it. This is what God is doing in our lives so that we can survive the next few turbulent years and be used of God in these last days.

Pressure will increase, shakings are coming in a greater way.

Look for a great earthquake in Japan that will collapse the economy of the Nation, which in turn will collapse like dominos the economy of most western Nations around the world, including the USA. This will bring very hard economic times but this is of God in His great wisdom to turn the nations to Him.

Isaiah 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when they: judgements (are) in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Apostle and Prophet
