Answer to the Storms of life(1)

Text: Mark 4:35-41, John 15:5 The answer to the storm in your life is as follows 1. Continuously be in an attitude of rest like Jesus did.Jesus was asleep on a pillow.Rest does not mean complacency or inaction. By rest we mean strong and unshakeable confidence in God's ability to deliver you because your faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ had saved you and brought you nigh to God.You are in Christ(2 Corinthians 5:17, 1 Corinthians 12:13),and your life is hid with Christ in God(Colossians 3:3) and nothing can happen to you without happening to Christ. Whatever storm is challenging you is challenging Jesus Christ.Rest is the result of your faith in God, His Word and the Blood of Jesus Christ,the finished work on the Cross, the help of the Holy Spirit; and is the opposite of fear and despondency. Job was robbed of victory because he was afraid.Job said the thing i greatly feared is come unto me;I was not in safety, neither had I rest,.......and trouble came.(Job 3:25-26). In Mark 40 Jesus asked the disciples after He calmed the storm "why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?".So fear is equivalent of zero or no faith! Remember faith is the shield that quenches the fiery darts of the wicked(Ephesians 6:16), that is quenches storms in our life.When God sees our faith, the Holy Spirit and innumerable company of angels encamping around us, as followers of Jesus Christ, Alleluia. Fear or no rest or lack of confidence in the omnipotent God-Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will steal your faith. In Exodus 14:13-14, we learn that God will fight for us, when we hold our peace. The battle against the storms in your life is not yours, but God's , Alleluia( 2 Chronicles 20:15).Remember you have chariots of fire and horses of fire that is angels surrounding you and your family(Psalm 34:7, Matthew 18:10,2 Kings 6:16-17).God the Father, God, the Son and God , the Holy Spirit will never leave you nor forsake you(Hebrews 13:5-6, Matthew 28:20). Jesus Christ has paid the price for your redemption from that storm. The Holy Spirit, The Word of God and The Blood of Jesus, are in control of this world and bear witness that you are the redeemed of the Lord(1 John 5:8).God is a wall of fire around you and your family(Zechariah 2:5). The Name of Jesus is a strong Tower surrounding you(Proverbs 18:10).Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are interceding for you continually(Hebrews 7:25, Romans 8:26). These provisions will not work for you unless you acknowledge them in your mind and consciousness and speak them out every time, the wicked one suggests sometime to create fear for you. Your faith is released and made stronger or effective as you acknowledge all these wonderful provisions from God Almighty because you believe in Christ , and you are in Christ. So do well to internalize this blog. It will help a great deal,Alleluia. Your philosophy or perspective in life determines what dominates in your life. The direction of your thoughts and feelings is the direction of your destiny. Let this post change your perspective, thoughts and feelings towards our Lord Jesus Christ. Look at Him, His Word, His Blood, His Finished Work, His triumph over the world, the wicked and all things,remembering you are a member of His Body, of His Bone , of His Flesh(Ephesians 5:30) and your life will begin to change, Alleluia.Your thoughts, feelings, words and actions determines the direction of your life and destiny. Your decision follwed by your choice is yours!Choose life, blessing and good all in Christ today, and the storm will cease, Amen.
