Oklahoma now accounts for about 10% of the global earthquakes of 2.5 and higher. Once again this morning 3-4 earthquakes occurred, the largest being a 4.1:

The prophetic aspects, if any, of this shaking are yet to be revealed. Oklahoma City was named the heartland of America after the Murrah bombing. Are we being shaken to the core? Once again, we were asleep and were not awaken by the shaking, a peaceful state.
I was awakened at 4 AM to write the blog on trustworthiness.
Went back to bed at 5:20 AM
Earthquake 1 at 5:31 AM 3.5 Mag
Earthquake 2 at 5:47 AM 4.2 Mag
Earthquake 3 at 6:25 AM 3.0 Mag
I awoke at 6:40 AM unaware of any activity
If your trust is in the earthly things, you foundation and peace will be shaken.

The Feast of Pentecost is the middle Feast. It represents a time of transition and maturing toward the goal of Tabernacles where the Sons are presented on the 8th day as being mature, complete, and fully acceptable to the calling of the Tabernacles Age. Once you have completed the process of walking out the acceptable maturing phase, you become “perfected” or fully mature. “Perfecting” a contract means that all terms and conditions have been met. You have achieved the vessel of honor status. We all started out as vessels of dishonor.
There is a definite purpose to history or Our Heavenly Father would not have us focus on the Old Testament at all. History provides us insight and lessons that may be used in our own maturing process. It provides facets of understanding that otherwise might not be realized by many. The New Testament writers quoted the Law, the Prophets, Psalms, and Proverbs to instruct us on what TO do and what NOT to do. Jesus, the Pattern Son, provides us excellent examples of this when He was being tempted and tested by the devil:
Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’
He was quoting from the Law:
Deuteronomy 8:3 “So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.
Proverbs, the Book of Wisdom, states the importance of every Word spoken by Our Heavenly Father:
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
Psalm 119:160 The entirety of Your word is truth,
And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.
Paul used Old Testament references often as well:
Ephesians 4:7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
8 Therefore He says:
“When He ascended on high,
He led captivity captive,
And gave gifts to men.”
He was quoting:
Psalm 68:18
You have ascended on high,
You have led captivity captive;
You have received gifts among men,
Even from the rebellious,
That the LORD God might dwell there
Paul further states:
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
On the first Day of Pentecost, the Law was given. To be delivered from your lawless state, the Law needed to be in place as a Standard. Without the Law, lawlessness cannot be identified and realized. We all needed correction.
Psalm 119:153 Consider my affliction and deliver me,
For I do not forget Your law.
Thus the Law was designed to begin the deliverance process, we appreciate Our Heavenly Father showing us the reality of our lawless state so that we can change. Currently, the lawless don’t want the Law to be presented to them for correction. They want to continue their “self-preserving” status quo. That does not negate the function of the Law however. The Law starts the process of proceeding to being led by the Spirit. It provides us a revelation of our lawlessness. Out of HIS Love, we are then able to proceed toward maturity as Sons being fully led by The Spirit.
When we honor the Feast of Pentecost, it is not to turn around and go back toward the flesh attempting to satisfy the Law. It is to honor the process that Our Heavenly Father established to bring us into full maturity. The Law has its place and the Holy Spirit has HIS Place. The Law started the process, the Holy Spirit completes the process. The “self-preservation” spirit would have us bypass the process all together and the suffering and dying to the flesh that goes with it. The Law evokes suffering in that we become aware of our lawless state. Every Word from Our Heavenly Father is pure and we are told to live by every Word. Let’s honor the second of HIS Feasts. As we do, I expect greater revelation to be released as part of our maturing process.
Below shows the 2500+ earthquakes since 2012:

Could the country be split in half by a major earthquake? There is a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on!
Today, I was awakened by Our Heavenly Father to focus on Jeremiah Chapter 32. I was to read verse 31 first:
:31 ‘For this city has been to Me a provocation of My anger and My fury from the day that they built it, even to this day; so I will remove it from before My face.
This particular verse is part of a commitment to bring down the current system completely, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. However, Our Heavenly Father instructs Jeremiah to buy a field from his cousin in Anathoth for 17 shekels of silver. The number 17 represents victory:
Jeremiah records 17 prayers. The 17th prayer is found in Jeremiah 32. The prayer is made while the Babylonian army was surrounding Jerusalem. In such circumstances, the prophet redeems land in Anathoth for 17 shekels of silver (Jer. 32:9). It is remarkable that Anathoth means “ answered prayers.” Then in 32:17-25 Jeremiah prays his great prayer of victory that once we obtain the victory of answered prayer, no further prayer is needed to obtain the object of prayer.
Jeremiah’s name means "whom Jehovah has appointed"
Jeremiah’s father’s name was Hilkiah = "my portion is Jehovah"
The field at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin was purchased by Jeremiah while he was imprisoned under Babylonian rule. The purchase of this field was to signify that the destruction was only temporary and that ultimately Our Heavenly Father would restore the Promised Land:
42 “For thus says the LORD: ‘Just as I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them. 43 And fields will be bought in this land of which you say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.” 44 Men will buy fields for money, sign deeds and seal them, and take witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captives to return,’ says the LORD.”
In light of being directed to this particular chapter today and having been charged with the oversight of the Treasury of the Remnant and receiving the Census coins held for future distribution:
“I declare that 17 shekels of silver have been allocated and directed for the purchase of the entire field (the earth). This declaration is hereby given as public notice and record is made by its posting as a public declaration available for all witnesses to read throughout this earth on May 4th, 2014.”
Father, we receive your promise:
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. 41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’
Our Heavenly Father awakened me at 3AM this morning to see the blood moon. When I went to bed, I opted not to set the alarm to see this event in the heavens. However, not my will but YOUR Will be done has been my prayer. The following picture is what I saw in the high southwestern sky:
I must conclude by the necessity to see the blood moon that there is a significant event at hand. It will return at the beginning of the Feast of Tabernacles this year. See: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/OH/OHfigures/OH2014-Fig03.pdf

Time frame: last 7 days
113 total earthquakes on map.
40 in Oklahoma. Is there something prophetic happening here? There’s a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on.
We may be selling beachfront property here before long.
Our Bible study continues to focus on the maturity of the Remnant. Paul spoke of this Remnant:
Romans 9:
5 Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
7 What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
The Remnant is chosen by grace, not works. The rest of the people are blinded to the revelation of the Remnant. They continue to receive their consolation in other areas. Their unwillingness to take on the sufferings of Christ is one such consolation. Be warmed, be filled…
As we mentioned in our Bible study yesterday, when the tests and trials come, you should not ask Our Heavenly Father to remove you from the trial, but instead you should seek HIS Wisdom to take you through the trial to the other side. That act will mature you. Removal delays the maturing process. Jesus dealt with adversity throughout His earthly ministry. The Remnant will be subjected to the same in preparation for its full commissioning. The rest will simply walk out their lives in some state of blindness.
2 Kings 19:
30 ’And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah
Shall again take root downward,
And bear fruit upward.
31 For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant,
And those who escape from Mount Zion.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.’
Zeal is defined as: great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective. Our Heavenly Father is raising a Remnant who have been “taking root downward”. Deep roots of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge are preparing those who are fully committed to establishing HIS Kingdom on this earth. HE is directing the steps of those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Those are the ones who have removed all resistance to HIS training and preparation. They have given up their worldly citizenship in order to become citizens of the Kingdom.
Much has been said of the 15 year Hezekiah factor:
2 Kings 20:
1 In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’ ”
2 Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,3 “Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 5 “Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the LORD.6 And I will add to your days fifteen years.
Several of us celebrated the 2000th Birthday of Jesus at Port Austin, Michigan on September 11th, 1999. It was at the time of the fall feasts. We are now 15 years later and the Remnant is being prepared. Could this year be the year of commissioning and full manifestation? If so, great! If not, we will continue the path to maturity awaiting Our Heavenly Father’s further instructions.
Sphragizō is the Greek word meaning:
to set a seal upon, mark with a seal, to seal
for security: from Satan
since things sealed up are concealed (as the contents of a letter), to hide, keep in silence, keep secret
in order to mark a person or a thing
to set a mark upon by the impress of a seal or a stamp
angels are said to be sealed by God
in order to prove, confirm, or attest a thing
to confirm authenticate, place beyond doubt
of a written document
to prove one’s testimony to a person that he is what he professes to be
In Revelations 7, The angels were instructed to seal the 144,000 saints:
2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed…
Have you satisfied the requirements to be sealed? Do you know the requirements to be sealed? 144,000 saints are not that many, considering the current population of 6.5 billion inhabitants of the earth. Many are called but few are chosen. This would indicate that the revelation required to be sealed by the angels is not that well known or practiced among Christians today. After all, at least 1/3 of the entire population profess to be Christian, about 2.18 billion.
Those who will be sealed have no resistance to HIS Word or HIS Calling upon their lives. Their passion is for the Kingdom of GOD, not the trappings of this world. They are more interested in serving than being served. Later in this chapter, there is a great multitude before the Throne. What are they doing? Serving:
15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple.
Everyone is serving someone or some thing. You may be serving your ego, aka “false self”, or you may be serving Our Heavenly Father. But no one is outside of this classification. To be sealed, your “testimony” of what and who you profess to be must be confirmed. If an angel arrived on your doorstep today, what proof would there be? Now is the time to establish proof of your testimony by acts of Love to others. It is time to be a blessing, be a doer of the Word, not a hearer only. Set aside your own needs for a bit and minister life and Love to someone else for a change. Let that ego die.
Revelation 21:17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
There are many facets to the mysteries and symbolism found in the Book of Revelations. Each and every number is meaningful and was placed in Scripture with specific intent. The number 144 refers to the resurrected ones and is the numerical value of Lazarus. Lazarus was from Bethany. A cubit is roughly 18 inches thus 144 cubits represents 216 feet, the number of Joshua. There are many other facets about New Jerusalem but our focus is the wall being fitly joined together.
Each stone in the wall was unique and had a specific place in the wall, in its own order. No stone was called to be out there alone. Each of us are called to be in unity and the mortar that holds us together is Love. The measuring device used was a “reed”. A reed is pliable and can be shaken. It has low resistance to the Spirit. The musical reed uses “wind” to create a sound of harmony. As you raise the vibration, a musical note is produced. Our atoms’ vibration will be raised as well and will take on attributes of the “resurrected ones”.
The strength of the wall is determined by the interdependence of each stone with the others. “United we stand” is the simple rallying cry of the overcomers. Yes, we were all called to spend time alone outside the camp in order that we could mature through direct ministry from Our Heavenly Father. But the time of preparation does not last forever. Moses left isolation to fulfill his calling. Paul returned after his time of preparation. How much longer are we to remain separated as a “pile” of rocks awaiting the wall to be built?
Unity is strength. The number 216 is also the result of multiplying 6 x 6 x 6. The first use of 666 is found in 1 Kings 10:14: “The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold.” Gold represents Divine Nature in Scripture. We must remember that numbers have a positive and a negative associated with them. Which aspect of the number do you tend to focus? There are always reasons to stay separated, but the stones were called forth to build a wall. The wall separates as well as protects. It separates the righteous from the lawless. It is the standard that is raised to differentiate the two. As we move toward greater unity, the wall will be formed in proper order and with an interlocking dependence that will provide strength to withstand the iniquity that has reached its fullness.
