SHAKING THE OLD FOUNDATIONS

by Glenice Mills


During worship on the 20th June 2015 the Lord spoke to me. This is what He said:

“Open your eyes – see what is happening! The seasons, the times – don’t be numb! Don’t go to sleep – wake up – open your eyes – see what I am doing.
I am doing a new thing, there’s a stirring, a stirring, a rumbling – things are shaky. Why do you fear? I am shaking the old – foundations are crumbling.
They have to crumble – have to crumble – so I can build – build on the new foundations. Many are falling – churches are falling – My plans – so I can build the new!”

When the Lord first spoke this word to me I was unsure what old foundations He was shaking. There are so many areas that the Lord could shake however He showed me it was in His body of believers. There is coming a time that the true fullness of the Bride will begin to come forth. In order for this to happen old foundations have to crumble. It will be by the hand of God, and many will be shocked at the brutality of the fallout of some well known leaders, ones deemed of high reputation. The Lord sees and He is going to reveal some things that have been done in secret. Corrupt practices within the church will be exposed.

We know the Scripture about the wise man building his house upon the Rock, but we have to remember he is wise only because it was built on the Lordship of Jesus Christ. This is where the Lord is drawing a line between what is true and what is false. The opinions of man, the teachings of false doctrines, and the holding onto tradition are stumbling blocks to the fullness of Jesus Christ coming into His church.

Deception has come and blinded many of God’s precious ones. He is going to bring the shaking of man made human endeavors and bring His standards of truth, justice and righteousness. Some false religious teachings have to be exposed so the true can come forth. That which is crumbling, built on sand will not be able to stand in the day of God’s judgment. He will pull down those false doctrines and practices built by the hands of man.

Many churches started out being built on the Rock, the Lord Jesus Christ, however the problem arose with the structure – that is what holds everything together. Because traditions and idolatrous practices have crept in, this has made the church impotent. That which was supposed to be a light, a place of refuge and love has slowly eroded to being a club with fun programmes.

The truth is the Lord is coming with a sword to bring a dividing line between what is His church and what is by man’s design.

Matthew 16:18 “And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

The church will be victorious! However, it will only be victorious when it is built on the rock.  The tragedy is many well meaning people who love the Lord have subtly been seduced to believing lies that have blinded and deceived.

If God is raising up His apostles and prophets then issues such as tradition and idolatrous practices have to be exposed. This will make them unpopular, however it will bring a separation between the true and the false. As they speak and declare God’s truth you will see the Lord judge and bring a falling down of that which is not built on the Rock. The old must crumble for the new to arise.
Man has put his systems in place and added the Lord’s name to it thinking He endorses what man has put his hand to. It is delusion, and in no way can be called Christianity. Anything with man’s agenda as its core will not stand it cannot stand.

So what does the new look like? It will have the five-fold ministry in position with the apostles and prophets confronting, and setting in place true Biblical foundations, so growth and maturity will come to the saints. The saints will be empowered to go out into the world and be effective and influential to bring change in society. Strongholds, principalities and powers will be confronted by a fearless army of men and women, of all tribes and tongues, coming together in unity to expose darkness and speak and declare God’s light. 

This will be the victorious church!
