The Storm
I woke up very early this morning. Early as in 2:30 a.m. or so. I spent way too long at a party last night. I spent the night praying against the wicked ways that the enemy was attacking individuals at the event through the words of gossip and the sweet taste of local wine and beer. I went to bed with a heavy heart.
By the grace of God HE woke me up And I did what I normally do, I started praising him and thanking him for another day. After spending about an hour seeking the word, I decided to fall back to sleep and as I was entering the darkness for more rest, I prayed to God for him to show me. I was weak. I needed to see him. I wanted to know that he was there. I asked him for clarity…….
At 5:30 I woke back up with a loud voice of "Epitimao!!!!" (Be still)
I had seen this word once before. So I searched my notes and found this;
"What if the enemy is your EGO and the boat is you. The vessel is YOU! It's dark late night and the enemy is lurking inside of your mind. The storm is in your mist and Jesus is asleep in your heart and you call on Him and he says "BE STILL" and the storm inside our vessel (our boat) STOPS!!!!" (I don't recall where I found this writing but it explained the situation I was going through well)
I felt like I was under attack yet I had received something just as promised…
“And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness—secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.’” (Isaiah 45:3, NLT,)
I know God. I know….. But I have so much doubt….
“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” (Romans 11:29, NKJV)
A calmness came over me and I got up out of bed and received my first phone call of the day at 6:00 a.m.
It was a call from a friend who wanted to hear where I was and pray for the season that God has me in.
After an hour-long conversation and listening to me speak She said:
"You know Keven Sowing is the key to your multiplication."
It was at that moment that I received clarity as I walked barefoot down the street. Praying and hoping for some answers.
I Share this with you right now to encourage you. If you are going through a struggle, a trial, tribulation, ask yourself what are you so afraid of? Do we not remember the promises of God?
We will never know the levels of our genuine faith until we get through the storm, not by our own doing, But because of God.
I quickly remembered some of the events from last night and was lead to this:
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT
Right now I pray for each one of you who is out in the workforce navigating through the wilderness of the world seeking his light and trusting that the path that you are on will lead you to feeling God's love and seeing HIS truth.
Armor up as we enter the battlefield. The great news is, The war has already been won!
