In the Storm

Storms come into each of our lives. The trick is to know where they come from. Storms may be a trial that we are going through that the Lord is wanting to teach us something. At other times storms may be something that we brought upon ourselves and yet at other times it could mean the enemy is out to snare us.
    If the storm you are facing is one of your own making, take heart to know that God will not let you flounder in the storm. He is there to guide you to the port He wants you in. Circumstances of our choosing gets us in all sorts of trouble. When that happens...IF you are a child of God...then He will  help you thru it. But only if you ask for help. You see God is not going to pull you out of something that is your fault just because He can. he wants you to ask for His help. He wants to help you get thru whatever it is. Sometimes we have to live through the storm knowing that God is in control no matter what.
   If the storm is something that the Lord is wanting to teach you, the best thing to do is wait it out. He will not let you sink. He wants to teach you something valuable, something that he wants you to understand. Not every storm comes from the enemy. Like I said last time....Satan cannnot be everywhere at once. God has plans for us, He tells us that. He has plans to make us prosper. Plans that sometimes we don't know anything about. If that is the kind of storm you are going through, let Him guide you. Don't try to do it all by yourself. He wants you to grab hold of Him and let Him be your teacher.
   If the storm is something that the enemy has thrown at you, that is the time you need to call on Jesus to help you. The only way you are going to defeat the Devil is by the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST. Period. Jesus paid the price for our sins. He paid the price for our victory. he paid the price for us to trod upon the enemy. Jesus is the only way you are EVER going to beat the enemy. Stop trying to do it all on your own. We cannot win this war for souls...and our own in particular...without the strength of Jesus to back us up. The Devil will just laugh at us like he did when soome men were trying to cast out demons...the demon said..."Jesus we know and Paul we know but who are you?" The enemy is not scared of you if you do not have Jesus Christ in your life.
   Dear friend...if you do not know Jesus as your personal Savior I ask you ask Him to forgive you of your sin and ask Him into your life as your Savior and Friend. HE will come in and give you life like you ahve never known before. Remember the storms of life are going to happen....do you want to face them all alone, or do you want the Lord to help you through them? you decide.
