12/22/13 IN THE TIME OF STORM
There is no storm that has ever blown that the Lord did not
know about; when something is coming God knows and He has prepared you because
He knows that it is coming to you. The devil wanted to destroy Job, he tried
everything and failed. One day in Job 1:6-12….. Now there was a day when the
sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came
among them. 7 And the Lord
said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the Lord and said,
“From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” Satan
does not rest; in verse 8…. Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant
Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one
who fears God and shuns evil?” 9…..
So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have
You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he
has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions
have increased in the land. 11
But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely
curse You to Your face!” 12 And the
Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay
a hand on his person.” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord. So if
the Lord does not allow the devil to touch Job, he would not have touched him. It
is impossible for the devil to touch an upright person unless the Lord allows
it.

The storm that is blowing there is a reason for it. If you
have never entered into the storm of life, do not think that your righteousness
can make you to escape it, because we are not as righteous as Jesus Christ. Your faithfulness to God does not mean that
the storm will not come; the storm will surely come but we will overcome every
storm in the name of Jesus….. Everybody
will face the storm of life, but there is a shelter in the time of storm. There
is a captain of the ship; Jesus Christ the righteous, who will not allow you to
be destroyed, or to sink because He will always be with you; in the name of
Jesus Christ. Because the Lord knows
that it will happen, that is why He said in Isaiah 43: 2&4…..When you pass
through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not
overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor
shall the flame scorch you Since you were precious in My sight, You have been
honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people
for your life. The Lord said “you will not be destroyed, but your enemies will
be destroyed”; you will not be cut off, but your enemies will be cut off; and
those who are waiting for your downfall, they will fall before you in the name
of Jesus Christ…..

In the time of storm, the person that is not in your boat has
no solution concerning your problem. In the time of storm, the man or woman, no
matter how intelligent and powerful the person is; as long as he/she is not in
your boat or on board with you, he/she cannot find solution to your problem. The
moment you take a step of crossing over to another level there will be a storm.
Unless you want to remain in the same level; Jesus Christ said “let’s crossover
to the other side.” You need to crossover; you have stayed so long in a
particular situation. Deuteronomy 2:2-3…. “And the Lord spoke to me, saying: 3 ‘You have skirted this mountain long
enough; turn northward. You have stayed in a particular place for a long time;
the same job, same salary, same home; you need to move; this is the time for
you to move to the next level. God wants you to move to the next level; you are
crossing over; do not wait anymore; concerning your career, finances, business,
destiny, family, purpose, vision crossover. You need to crossover; we are
crossing over to the other side. Jesus said “let us crossover to the other side”;
and as soon as they crossed over, there was a wind. Let me say this to you;
storm will come; you are crossing over and moving to another level; and because
you are moving to another level the devil is not happy because where he wants to
keep you, you have realized that you are not staying there anymore. You are moving
to where God has scheduled your life in the name of Jesus; you are moving to
God ordained position for your life in the name of Jesus Christ…..He is a
shelter in the time of storm; there will be a storm, but it will not blow you
away in the name of Jesus Christ….Praise the Lord……

Whoever is not on board with you cannot see what you are
going through; because they do not understand what you are going through, they
do not have a solution to your problem. In the time to storm, what are we going
to do? Jonah was not the only person inside the boat neither was Jesus Christ,
Peter and James. Concerning Jonah, the bible said “when the storm came on, every
man called on his god”. In the time when we are in the storm people will bring
their own advice/counsel. It is only God that can do things, man cannot do anything;
Lamentations 3:37….. Who
is he who speaks and it comes to pass; When the Lord has not commanded it? Isaiah
45:6…. That they may
know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me. I
am the Lord, and there is no other. When people notice that you are going
through storm, those on board with you begin to give you different kinds of
advice. There are some advice that we
take and some that we do not take. The people on board with Jonah started
throwing the cargos into the sea, so that they can lighten the ship- those
cargos were bought with money. When we you do not contact the right channel,
there is going to be loss of money, property and material things; even though
they threw the cargos in the sea, the storm did not stop. During the time of
Apostle Paul, they were slaughtering animals to appease the sea, but they have forgotten
somebody created the sea. The king of Kings; The God of gods; the Lord of
Lords; the Ancient of days; the only maker of our lives; and His name is Jehovah
Praise the Lord….

Psalm 16:4…… Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their
drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips. God
knows the reason why the storm is blowing in your life; some people storm might
be longer than others. There is somebody whose name is Author of life; there is
somebody that knows everything; there is somebody that can move things, and
turn things around; praise the Lord. Matthew 10:8….. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,
raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Anything
that is of money is not salvation anymore and power of God is not in it; at
times we say “it is working”; it not working, it is working to destruction. That
is why they cure headache and they give the person stomachache. When you are
going through prophets that take money, the problem cannot be resolved; because
they take one problem out and plant another problem. They are giving canal
counsel, spending your money on what it not worth it; read Isaiah 52 and 55
from beginning to end. God said that in Isaiah 52:1…… Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O
Zion; Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For the
uncircumcised and the unclean Shall no longer come to you. That is the demon
will not oppress you again; in the name of Jesus Christ…..

When we do not contact the right channel, it is going to be a
waste of time, money, property, resources, and waste of life, because they are
consulting other gods. The bible made us to understand that there was a
tempest, majority of them were fishermen, they thought they could use their
experience to bring the boat into the harbor; but they were unable. The water
started filling the boat, and they went to the master; and they said “Master,
Master we are perishing”; the Master arose and He said “be still.” What you
need in your life is Jesus Christ; everybody come to Jesus today, tomorrow
might be too late. Jesus is the Author of life; He is the one that will make things
happen in our lives. They went to Jesus and Jesus said “be still”. The bible
said “there was a great calm”; everybody was so afraid, they came to Jesus and
worshiped Him saying “what manner of Man is this that even the wind and the sea
obey Him.” They have no choice than to
obey Him; that is why Apostle Paul said in Philippians 2:8-11….. And being found in appearance as a
man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the
death of the cross. 9 Therefore
God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every
name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those
in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father. Today come back to Jesus; stop telling people about your
problem. Proverbs 21:31…. The horse is prepared for the day of battle. But deliverance is of the
Lord. Everyone can promise to help us; but the only person that has solution to
our life is Jesus Christ.

People can help us but it is just temporary; the Author of
our life is the one that can makes things happen. We have trusted men and flesh
too much, and because of this, when disappointment comes, we feel like killing ourselves.
Instead of trusting God, we have put men as our priority; men will live and die,
but there is someone that will not die forever. Jesus died for us and will die
no more, and He is sitting at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for
us. Bring your case to Jesus Christ; everything that is bothering you, I know
my God will do exceedingly, abundantly, above all what you think or ask; Praise
the Lord. God has spoken to the mountain that was disturbing Zerubbabel; Zechariah
4:7….. ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you
shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone. With
shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” it is God that is fighting for us; they went
back to Jesus Christ, He just rose and did not contend. If you bring your case
to the people of this world they will mess up your problem. God is the only one
that lightens our burden and takes our problems away; He is the only one that
takes care of us; He is the only one that has solution to our lives. Come to
Jesus; a song says “that is why you are called Jehovah, for what you say you
will do, that is what you will do.” He is faithful, He cannot deny Himself; He
is not a liar, Satan is a liar. John 8:44….
You are of your father the
devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from
the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is
no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own
resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
God is not a lair Romans 3:4…… Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true
but every man a liar. As it is written: “That You may be
justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged.

Today come to Jesus, in the time of storm, some people feel
like killing themselves, running away, or relocating but all these will not
solve the problem. Some people want to change their job because they are been
terrorized; who is the person terrorizing you in your job that will make you
leave your job? Mark 16:17…. And these signs will follow those who believe: In
My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new
tongues…. The demons are casting out Christians of nowadays; they are supposed
to cast out demons. If God is for us; who, what, can be against us. We do not
run away from the devil, we face him; we do not run away from our storm we face
it, because there is a shelter in the time of storm who
will see us through; and the Lord will see you through in the
name of Jesus Christ…..
