From today on my way to work:
Do not be shaken. Let none of these judgments that are coming to pass cause you to be moved. To you who believe, I have shown you already that nothing may come upon you unaware. I tell you, know the season. Know that the time comes quickly when men's hearts will fail them for fear of what's to come, but I would not have it to be so for My people. Be led forth with peace and walk according to the leading of My Spirit.
Who will have faith? Who will be faithful, not turning to the left or to the right but keeping their eyes fixed on Me? I search for you who will hear My voice and allow yourselves to be changed from glory to glory. Believe My words for nothing is hidden from you who worship Me in Spirit and in truth. I reveal Myself to you daily.
Even the voice of the day of the Lord speaks, but who will hear it? Have faith and believe God.
With love in Him,
Ryan

Amen Ryan,
Judgment for this nation is sure. Let us all be found in faith, remaining diligent in the work God has put before us, until the day of His return.
God Bless,
Tara
True Ryan.
The fine point is who can be shaken, or will be shaken. Faith can come like a flood as the "Gift of Faith", or it can grow slowly like the mustard seed. Faith is not thinking something is possible, it's knowing it will. If we are in right standing before God all things are possible, yet we must be walking in God's Spirit, in truth/reality.
If we have issues with our wives our prayers may be hindered. We may or may not regard the issues, but the hindrance doesn't just go away. We may have a problem with our brother or sister in that we offended them and they pray for justice, God hears their prayers. If we are double minded or try to serve two masters, in any way, we receive nothing from God. If we ask to consume on our own lusts, our heart being wicked and a deceiver, we convince ourselves that it's "Gods' will", just not in truth. Or if we pray, God help me I don't want to die, but we didn't previously do his will, God will laugh at us. All the above are indications of our hearts not being right. All the above could keep us from being found worthy. If we would examine ourselves, judge ourselves, we will not be found outside of Gods' protection and provision. We will be found holy and perfect in His sight, worthy to escape the wrath to come.
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
1 Corinthians 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
During the tribulation, apart from those who are appointed to be martyrs for Gods' glory, the saints that die, who were not worthy to escape fall under this: "When we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.", "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death."
