*TIME TO STAND AGAINST STORM ISAIAS!


The Southeast United States and indeed all the Atlantic Coast states from Florida up to New England are again being threatened by an approaching storm, this time named Isaias by the meteorologists.  For a while it has not appeared clearly just how strong the storm is, but now it seems it is borderline hurricane 1 and may be at that level when and if it comes ashore in the Carolinas as forecasted. Currently it is offshore Florida.  In the past we have all seen just how much damage a storm of this size can do.

But we believers know what Jesus said about all this.   In John 14:12-14 Jesus said those who believe in him will do the same things he had been doing, even greater.  He said that he would do whatever we ask him in his name.  He also said over in John 16:23 that Father God will give us whatever we ask him in Jesus’ name.

In Mark 11:22-23 Jesus made the point that anyone who has faith in God can say to their mountain “go and throw yourself into the sea,” and if they believe and do not doubt, it will be done as they have said.  The mountain for those living along the Southeast coast especially but indeed the full Atlantic coast of the US today is the storm Isaias.

It’s time right now once again to focus on these verses and to put your faith into action.  The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of power and not just word!  It is these verses and others that lead us to realize that in Jesus all things are possible.

What did Jesus do?  He healed the sick.  He also changed the weather.  And much more.    And he says we can do the same things as he.

Well, we do.  People do receive their healing!  And the weather is changed!

We have certainly seen hurricanes turn aside in the past and/or diminish in power when we and others took that bold stand and action in Jesus’ name, and we have faith and expect that now.  Remember in 2018 when hurricane Florence dropped from a category 4 to a category 1 almost immediately just before hitting land!  Remember hurricane Ophelia several years ago when it came right up to the Southeastern North Carolina shore but could not come ashore, remaining off the coast for a week before turning to go north.
So I ask now everyone wherever you are to use these truths to pray against this storm, to take a stand.  (I personally like to step outside and face southeast in this case, raising arm and hand with palm to the southeast, to the Atlantic Ocean.)

All of you should declare:

In Jesus’ name, I order the storm named Isaias to turn aside from land, to go out to sea and to diminish and disappear.  In Jesus’ name, I order that storm to touch no land and harm no people and no boats!

Be bold!  You can put this in your own words, but that is what Jesus said we could do.  Remember, he changed the weather.  He stopped storms.

Do it now!

Thank you all and God bless you all.

* ANOTHER CALL TO ACTION: TO ALL WHO LIVE ON THE COAST (and really anywhere)

Eleven days ago we issued a warning and request for action regarding the terrible hurricane Irma that was heading toward the US East Coast.  The storm was then a category 5 hurricane and was in the process of ravaging several Caribbean Islands.  Because of your efforts and those of other believers, thank God Irma did not proceed directly to hit the Mid-Atlantic States or the Atlantic Coast of Florida. Even though it brought great hardship to the Keys and to many places in Florida, by the time it made landfall on the West Coast of Florida it had decreased significantly in power.
Now it is time for believers to take action against two more storms.  One is Jose, currently a category 1 hurricane that appears to be heading away from land although it may skirt the New England Coast and impact the Mid-Atlantic and Northern Coast of the US.  But the other, Maria, is already a category 3 major hurricane growing in power and is right in the midst of the Caribbean again.  Its path as of now appears to continue westward over several places already hit by Irma and perhaps eventually straight at Florida or the US East Coast in general.
So now I repeat the same message as before, this time for Jose and Maria:
In John 14:12-14, Jesus said that those who believe will do the same things he had been doing.
In Mark 11:22-23 he made the point that anyone who has faith can say to their mountain “go and throw yourself into the sea,” and if they believe and do not doubt, it will be done as they have said.
It’s time right now once again to focus on these verses and to put your faith into action.  The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of power and not just word!  It is these verses and others that lead us to realize that in Jesus all things are possible.
What did Jesus do?  He healed the sick.  He also changed the weather.  And much more.    And he says we can do the same things as he.
Well, we do.  People do receive their healing!  And the weather is changed!
The mountain for those living along the coast today is the harsh and strong storm named Irma.
So all believers – and that includes you – should go outside and face the ocean, wherever you are.  In Jesus’ name speak to the storms Jose and Maria today, right now.  Order their winds to diminish.  Order them to turn away from any coast and dissipate and disappear.  And whatever else the Holy Spirit guides you to speak, all in Jesus’ name.
The miracles we have seen in this ministry have all happened because we take Jesus at his word.
So what are you waiting for?
May you live in the blessings of God always.
Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!

* LISTEN TO GOD

Simple to say.  Wonderful Advice.  The key is to do it! 

We all know every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ should pray regularly and should keep his spiritual ears open to hear the Lord.  God will speak through the words of the Bible certainly.  He will speak through circumstances and events, and even through other people.  And he will just speak to you in real words.  My experience is that most of this occurs in that famous still small voice of God that you alone will hear.  Sometimes though he might speak to you in an audible voice, or at least a voice that to you is bold and audible whether it really is or not.

What else can you do of more importance than to truly live a life of prayer and always, always be in an attitude of listening expectantly for God’s word, for his guidance?

Anyone who has followed us has heard or read of instances in my life where the Lord has spoken.  I only write or speak about a few as appropriate to what I am writing.  And too, some of God’s words are just for me, or for Cathy and me.

Let me present one great example of the Lord’s speaking to me.  It occurred in August and September of 2001.  Cathy and I had an important meeting scheduled near New York City for September 11 of that year.  It involved many people and had been fixed for some time.

About six weeks prior to that date, one day while sitting quietly in prayer about that upcoming meeting, God spoke:  “No need to make airline or hotel reservations…”  That’s what he said.

Then in succeeding weeks he spoke again and again on this.  Always the words contained advice about taking no airplane.  Sometimes they included no hotel and no car.

All in all, he spoke about five or six times on this.

Needless to say Cathy and I were concerned about these words from God and about the meeting.  We even invited over the minister of the church we were attending and his wife.  They were obviously amazed.  One said “You can’t go!”  The other said “You have to go!” 

So we pondered and prayed.

Finally we made what seemed sensible from a human standpoint.  We flew to the area early, before September 11.  And then we took a hotel quite a few miles away and rented a car. 

So on September 11 we were there, in a city outside New York City, and we drove to the place of our scheduled meeting.  We parked in a garage, got out and walked through a tall hotel on the way to the building of the meeting.  While walking through the lobby we encountered a television set blaring in the lounge in the bar, and one or more people standing rapt in attention watching.  We stopped.  The television was showing an airplane flying into the World Trade Center.  It was quiet.  A man at a nearby table prayed out loud.  The moment was overwhelming.  Cathy and I looked at the television and at each other.

Soon quietly we stumbled on to the place of our meeting.  A few minutes there and we heard another plane had hit the World Trade Center and one had hit the Pentagon.  The meeting was postponed.
Cathy and I left.  Later in the day I telephoned the minister back home.  Simple comment.  “Did you see what happened?”  Of course he had.  No words fit.

God had warned Cathy and me over and over about 9/11.  He never told me what was to happen, but he told me what we needed to do to protect ourselves.  In terms of the gifts of the Spirit, this could be called a gift of knowledge, and perhaps also a gift of prophecy.  It was a warning to us about an event to happen, and thank God we at least adjusted our travel plans. 

In these difficult days leading up to the Lord’s return, we all need as much of God’s guidance as he will give us.  Listen to God.  Ask him to speak.  Seek him.  He will be found by those who seek him.

Who knows the truth but God?  Who knows the future but God?  Who cares more for you than God?

Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!
