Whenever Rome would take over a new city, they would send in "apostles" to "shift the culture" to conform to the principles of Rome. Jesus too knew that it would be necessary to "shift the culture" in those who entered His Father's Kingdom, and so He too sent out Apostles to speak and act on His behalf. I have been hearing God along these lines as well. A little less than a year ago, I went through a really hard time financially, and it was seriously affecting my emotional health. Long story short, the Holy Spirit eventually said to me, "Are you going to be shaken by the world, or are you going to be a world-shaker?" I chose the latter! And it sounds like you have too! Keep up the great work! --Art-- <a href="http://www.supernaturaltruth.com" rel="nofollow">www.SupernaturalTruth.com</a> I recently read that Jesus borrowed the word “apostle” from the Roman government of His day.

Keep seeking the Holy Spirit for a deeper revelation of this vision. I believe that if you keep meditating on this vision, the Holy Spirit will reveal a greater depth to it.

I keep hearing the same message, and feeling it in my spirit. The church is being sifted, and God is putting an end to the lukewarm Christians that have deceived many. In the last days, we need to be ready for battle! You are definitely hearing from God on this one. I keep hearing the same message, and feeling it in my spirit.

We need to pray and nourish ourselves with his word and presence. We need to ask Him to start leading us when we are suppose to step out and just do it. It's not going to be easy but every little step helps. I've started getting involved in my community by helping out the middle school. The teachers get to know me and so do the kids and the parents will get to know me cause of their kids. It's a great way to get out there and just be a witness by my life. Just pray about it and I'm sure God will help you. Another way I plan to be a culture shaker is through my blog here and soon to be website that I will be setting up this week. It's going to be really awesome cause God is all over this. There would be no way any of this would be happening with out God. I was also thinking of making the culture shaker image I used available for everyone so they can put it were they want to just let people know they are stepping out to be a culture shaker.
