March 30, 2026. Father, I thank You for this day. This Monday. It is a day that You have made, and I am choosing gladness and rejoicing, not because everything looks calm, but because God is a covenant-keeping God. If He has done it before, He will do it again. That is the posture of faith we need for what is unfolding right now.
This holy season carries a weight of meaning that is not just religious, but spiritual. We just came through Palm Sunday. Now we are approaching Good Friday and Passover. And while we look around and we see wars, shaking financial systems, rising confusion, and a lot of noise, God is saying something very clear to His people. He is not asking for frantic speculation. He is asking for fixed eyes.
In the Exodus story, God delivered His people with power and precision. And I want to speak this right into your spirit today: the same God who split the sea is still the God who rescues. The same God who provided in the wilderness still provides. And what He is doing now, even in shaking and chaos, is a kind of deliverance. The message I’m carrying is this: we are stepping into a “second Exodus.” Not only for one nation trapped in one place, but for mankind, for a people grafted in as one new man through Christ.
Why Psalm 105 Matters Right Now
There is a reason Psalm 105 keeps coming to the surface when people are seeking clarity. Psalm 105 remembers God’s covenant faithfulness. It reviews what the Lord did, how He promised, how He guided, and how He did not abandon His people.
The point is not merely historical information. The point is identity. When you remember what God has done, fear loses its grip. When you remember covenant, you stop negotiating with anxiety.
Passover and the Exodus are not dusty stories from the past. They are God’s living language. They are rehearsals of deliverance. They teach you how to interpret shaking.
“A Reset Is Coming”: Shaking Systems vs. Shaking Hearts
Let me say this directly. Many people are watching financial headlines with dread. I’ve been watching them carefully too. But here is the difference: I am not watching to panic. I am watching because God has trained His people to recognize patterns.
Across the board, there are public signs of instability. In recent reporting, major firms have struggled with redemptions, paused client access to funds, or faced collapse. But the chaos in the markets is being obfuscated by the fog of war. Whether every detail gets interpreted correctly or not, the spiritual takeaway is consistent: pressure is increasing. The world’s “safety systems” are looking less safe.
And God says, this is actually good news, if you know Him.
- It means a great reset is coming.
- It means the fog is not the truth.
- It means the enemy’s distraction is being exposed.
The message is not that God wants people to suffer. The message is that God is dismantling what can be shaken so His unshakable kingdom can stand.
Holy Week and the Spiritual “Alignment” of Events
Holy week is not random timing. It is divine punctuation. God has orchestrated seasons of visitation, and Passover is one of them. This is why it matters so much that we are approaching Passover on Wednesday and then Good Friday soon after.
When the world feels overwhelming, it can be easy to interpret everything as random chaos. But God is pointing to the interconnection. The plagues. Pharaoh’s pursuit. The Red Sea. The pursuit that seemed unstoppable until God intervened.
Now connect this to what people are experiencing in the modern world: wars, financial turmoil, rising fuel and food prices and political instability. The enemy wants you to interpret it as hopelessness. God wants you to interpret it as preparation.
We keep coming back to the same core idea: the second Exodus is underway. And if you have been grafted in, you are not merely observing. You are participating in the journey God is leading you through.
Fear and Faith Cannot Co-Exist
Here is the most practical command in this whole message: put away fear.
Faith cannot exist in a vacuum of fear. They cannot operate together the same way. Fear makes you double-minded. And when you are double-minded, you end up expecting nothing from God, because you are trying to trust Him with one side of your attention while cowering with the other.
So I’m not asking you to pretend everything is fine. I’m asking you to choose what dominates your mind. God is building sound thinking and clear thinking in His people.
When you feel fear rising, return to the covenant facts:
- God is the everlasting God.
- He never changes.
- He is the same One who delivered you before.
- He is shaking things for you, not against you.
Fear is a liar, and anxiety tries to act like it has authority. But fear is not your identity and not your portion.
Keep Your Eyes Fixed: Blinders for the Spiritual Race
There is a lot of misinformation circulating. There are narratives pushed through media channels that keep people confused, exhausted, and spiritually reactive.
So God gives a strategy, and it is almost comical in its practicality: keep your eyes straight.
Picture a horse racing on a track with blinders on. It cannot afford to look left or right or back. It stays focused because the race matters.
Now, I’m going to say something bold in a way that I hope helps you: if your vision is being dominated by headlines, then your soul is not grounded enough yet. Get re-rooted. Get grounded in God’s truth.
And if you do not know how to pray when anxiety hits, start with this simple redirection: “Lord, my eyes are fixed on You.” Repeat it. Refuse the spiral.
God’s “Goshen” Protection: The Blood Marked on the Doorposts
In Passover, there is a powerful picture. The angel of death passed over those who had the blood applied to the doorposts. Meanwhile, Goshen was protected. The message wasn’t that everyone lived in the same experience. The message was that God makes distinction and covers His people.
So I’m speaking to you personally: you are Goshen. You have a cover when you trust the Lamb.
That means when chaos is screaming around you, God is still shielding you on all sides. He can protect the inner life even when outer life is shaking.
The Point of Deliverance: Not Panic, but Purpose
When systems collapse, people can interpret it as abandonment. But if you belong to Christ, God is working a bigger story than “loss” and “fear.” He is shaking wickedness out of the earth. He is moving toward deliverance on a scale we have not seen before.
This is why it is so important to shift perspective. The message is not denial. The message is spiritual interpretation.
For example, when people complain about rising prices, shortages, or temporary loss of pleasures, God challenges the way we measure “life.” Sometimes what feels like the end of the world is actually a busting of an old system. Sometimes what feels like deprivation is actually preparation for something greater.
God’s people are not trained to live by temporary suspension of comfort. We are trained to live by covenant faithfulness.
Jesus Fulfilled Passover: God’s Appointments Are for You
Let’s talk about Passover directly. Passover is not only an Old Testament event to remember. It is an anointed time of divine visitation.
Jesus is a Jew, and He celebrated Passover. He did not erase it. He fulfilled what it represented. That means when you approach these seasons with reverence, you are not only studying scripture. You are positioning yourself to receive what God is visiting His people with right now.
If you want to learn more, there are resources like Chabad (chabad.org) that provide historical and spiritual background on Passover.
Prayer for Israel and Covenant Nations
One of the dominant themes in this message is covenant partnership. Blessing Israel is not treated like politics. It is treated like covenant alignment with God’s purposes.
So we pray for Israel, asking God to cleanse, pardon, raise up in righteousness, and redeem His people from trouble. We ask for health and healing, for revelation and wisdom, for shalom in Jerusalem, and for enemies to be restrained. We ask God to restore what has been removed, bring abundance of peace and truth, and make Israel a name of praise among the nations.
And beyond Israel, there is a call to covenant nations. Canada and America are named as partners standing with Israel. The prayer tone is not arrogant. It is insistence: God’s will will stand, and covenant roots will be restored.
What You Do Next: Practical Steps for Shaking Times
Here is a clear “next right step” based on everything we just covered:
- Choose gladness because God made the day.
- Replace fear with fixed focus. Don’t give the enemy a place in your attention.
- Interpret shaking through covenant, not through panic. God is shaking what can be shaken so His kingdom can remain.
- Stay in the straight and narrow path. Keep your heart clean and your lips truthful.
- Join the work of blessing. Pray for Israel and pray for your nations.
And most importantly, respond to Jesus as King. In Holy Week, the question is not abstract. It is personal. Jesus asks, “Am I your king or not?” If He is your King, then His unshakable kingdom becomes what you stand on. And you become what remains when everything else is shaken.
