An Approaching Storm

Recently the Lord spoke the following to me about the coming storm:
In the early morning hours several weeks ago the Lord began to speak to me about a two-part storm. He told me that there was a break in the clouds. The sun had broken through, but it was only temporary, because the second part of the storm was coming. It would have a different intensity. The second part of the storm would be different than the first. The picture that I received was like looking at the clouds and a storm on radar. I saw the clouds and the turbulence of the first storm. I saw the break in the clouds, and then the approaching second storm. I asked the Lord was this two different storms? He said, “No, it was the same storm in two parts.” The first storm has passed, but there is another part of the storm to come.” His instructions were as follows:

1. Do not fear the storm. He is in the storm and His glory will be revealed in the storm.
2. Get into position. Take the posture of faith. Don’t be moved by what you see. Be moved by what He says.
3. We must be careful to hear His voice in this season of time and move only by His direction.
4. Get ready to move into your possession. It is time to possess your promise.
5. We must not allow the enemy to intimidate us. He will use intimidation to move us out of our inheritance (assignment). Our place of assignment will be our place of protection and provision.

It is time to get in your rightful place! This storm in not going to destroy us, but its fierce winds will move things around and in some cases it will change the landscape around us. It will bring the “winds of change.” The wind is going to serve as God’s servant to expose some weaknesses in old structures. Old structures will fail because of the fierce wind, and some things that have been covered up are going to be revealed. When the winds cease and the storm subsides we are going to reap the benefits.

How do we prepare for the coming storm? We get prepared! To be forewarned is to be prepared. The following will help you to prepare for the coming storms:

  • We discern that a storm is coming. The National Weather Service continually measures the winds, currents, and watches the elements to try to determine the climate and warn us of inclement weather.
  • We must learn to watch the spiritual climate. God is moving, doors are opening, and revival is on the horizon. If REVIVAL is on the horizon then why are you warning us about storms?
  • I Corinthians 16:9 – “For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.”
  • Great REVIVAL, OPEN DOORS, and ADVERSARIES go together. They cannot be separated. We are entering into harvest time. In the midst of difficulty God is going to move by His power and there will be a harvest of souls that come in.

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Shout of a King is Among Them

Numbers 23:21 - “He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord his God  is  with him, And the shout of a King  is  among them.” In this passage of Scripture, the king of Moab had hired the prophet Balaam to speak a curse over the children of Israel.   He saw Israel as a threat to his kingdom.   Numbers 22:2-3 – “Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.” When the enemy sees the people of God rising up in faith, he becomes very concerned and moves to keep us from fulfilling our assignment.   We learn in Numbers, Balaam could only speak what the Lord gave him to speak.   Instead of a curse he speaks a blessing. The enemy seeks our destruction, but God!   Listen to the conversation between God and Satan in ...

They Turned Back in the Day of Battle

Psalms 78:9 – “ “The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.”             Ephraim was the younger of two sons of Joseph.   His first born was Manasseh.   It was Ephraim that received the blessing of Jacob.   The tribe of Ephraim became the largest of the ten northern tribes of Israel.   Many times the Bible used the name Ephraim to represent the whole nation of Israel.             In verse 9 they are armed and carrying bows.   They are dressed, equipped, and ready to battle.   Yet we learn that they turned back in the day of battle.   The Bible identifies this as sin.   To turn back in the day of battle was displeasing to God.               To be armed meant that they were equipped with armor, a sword, and a shield. ...
