The Calm After the Storm


The Calm After the Storm

September 1, 2011
I was watching the weather channel the other day after a hurricane hit the East Coast of America. They were showing video clips of the damage from this massive storm as it hit many states with huge floods, uprooted trees and caused a lot of devastation. The forecaster then said that tomorrow will be the calm after the storm. He than explained that just as there is a calm before a storm, there is always a calm after a storm. As I listened, the Lord gave me this word.

The Lord says, many of you have been going through devastating storms in your personal lives. The seas have been raging and things have been uprooted in your life, but I am bringing restoration to every area that has been ravaged by the enemy. I am the Repairer of the Breach and those things that appeared to be destroyed and lost forever will be restored and returned to you as you abide in Me.

The sickness that has attached itself to your bodies will be dismantled. The finances that have been stolen from you will be replenished. Don't fear the future of your family members but put them in My hands. The people that have brought disruption and destruction into your life will be cut off. Don't look back as Lot's wife did at what once was, but look ahead to the future that I have for you.

Do not fear what you see in the natural. Do not be shaken of what is to come. As times are changing and things are shifting, I will always keep you protected as you stay connected. Don't be concerned about how these things will come about but simply trust in Me as you abide in the Secret Place, refrain from compromise and I will bring this to pass says the Lord.

Joel 2:23-26
Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you- The former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. " So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be put to shame.

Matthew 7:24-27
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
