Based on the book of Haggai, chapter 2, verses 1-9. The speaker begins by setting the historical context of Haggai's prophecy, focusing on the discouragement of the temple builders who were comparing their current work to the former splendor of the temple (4:20-5:39).Emphasizing that during times of "shaking"—divine disruptions that interrupt broken systems and stagnant faith—God is at work (7:42). Pastor Lyonel identifies five signs of a "shaking":Divine disruption (10:21)Spiritual awakening (11:05)Judgment against evil (11:24)Preparation for glory (11:50)Revealing what's real (12:18)Noting that a shaking often elicits a range of difficult emotions, including fear, confusion, anxiety, frustration, loss, anger, loneliness, and weariness (14:45-15:46).Drawing from Dr. Otis Moss III's book Dancing in the Darkness, the sermon highlights three key actions for followers of Christ during a shaking:Consecrate chaos (18:11): Surrender chaos to God, praying through it, building through it, and trusting God with it (19:46).Redirect rage (20:45): Turn anger into action, pain into power, and frustration into fuel, rejecting paralysis (22:18).Rework your origin story (22:50): Don't let trauma define you; instead, focus on God's redemptive work (23:06).The sermon concludes by explaining the significance of "Lord of Heaven's Armies" (or "Lord of Hosts"), emphasizing God as a supreme warrior king, commander of cosmic forces, and covenant protector (24:19). Pastor Lyonel encourages listeners to "dance in the darkness" by not waiting for the light or victory, but by praising God on credit and building while believing, knowing that God is with them and glory is coming (30:58).
