God Will Sustain His Children In The Storm!

1 John 4:2, “Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”

The things that we are seeing and experiencing are all an attack by Satan and his demons from hell. But, greater is He that lives within me than he that is in the world. All our strength comes from God through His Holy Spirit. And Jesus said when the Holy Spirit comes, He will testify of Me. His meaning is that the Holy Spirit in us will stand for and exemplify the TRUTH, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Anything otherwise is the spirit of antichrist which was at work in the world then and even more so at this present time. However, the Holy Spirit within us is greater than the spirit of antichrist which is in the world.

If our relationship in Christ remains vibrant and healthy, He will sustain us through any storm. Otherwise, the storm will break us! Matt. 7:24, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” Whoever will hear and embrace the TRUTH, the gospel of Jesus Christ is compared to those who reject the TRUTH. When the storm comes, the TRUTH will provide a sure foundation and guarantee victory. Those who reject the TRUTH will end in a catastrophic conclusion and great will be their fall as they succumb to the ensuing storm.

Our response to the events just ahead will determine our end! Those who are not rooted and grounded in the TRUTH will be broken off, torn loose and carried away in the wind. The writings of Jude give us some insight into the coming judgment on the ungodly. Jude 1:12, “These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.”

We cannot be carried about with every wind of doctrine and stand in this cataclysmic upheaval! God has promised to shake this earth once again and not the earth only but the heavens also. That shaking is even now in process. Hebrews 12:26, “...Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29For our God is a consuming fire.” 

If our relationship in Jesus Christ remains healthy and vibrant, He can and will sustain us through any storm. We will want to walk close to our Good Shepherd! He will protect us from Satan and his horde of demons as he seeks to establish himself for the take over of the whole world and the plunder and decimation of its inhabitants. Jesus said in John 14:6, “...I am the way and the truth and the life...” He is our Shepherd, our strong foundation, our ROCK, and our Way out of the storm! Look to Him and Live today! God Will Sustain His Children In The Storm!
