Have
you ever watched storm chasers on TV or on a movie? You will notice when they
receive notification a storm is coming they track respectively, not driving
away but directly into the storm.
It sounds ludicrous, but they are storm chasers, it’s what they do and
do it well while maintaining safety.
I
want you to know when we speak the Word of God, it is the storm chaser. It chases
down the storms that come into our life and instead of taking pictures it
defuses the storm. The word of God
does not drive away from the storm but tackles it head on. The word of God does not show up to
take pictures, but shows up to defuse the storm. Storms will come in life. While they may be difficult to navigate, rest assured that
God will not give you more than you can bear and with Him, nothing is impossible.
In
the bible there were several different types of storms. One storm caused the
disciples to panic, even though Jesus had told them to cross over to the other
side. In this passage of text Jesus had finished feeding five thousand; there
were even 12 baskets left over. The disciples followed Jesus’ word and loaded
onto the ship and began to sail to the other side. No matter what is occurring
the word given to us by God will always take precedence to the opposition. So,
around 3am in the morning a great storm arose. This storm was so horrific they
began to throw out all of their belongings. Jesus saw them and came walking on
the water. He eventually loaded into the boat and said “Peace Be still,” and
they were immediately on the other side. Jesus is the storm stopper. Another
storm was when Jesus was in the boat, and He was asleep when it began. The
disciples once again were afraid and went to awake him. When he awoke, He said
o, ye of little faith and said "Peace, Be still." The third type of storm was a hurricane.
In this storm, Paul the Apostle was being transported to another city. In the
process God sent an angel and he stood by Paul and said there would be no loss
of life. In each of these storms, God was there. His Word superseded what was
occurring.
It’s
the Word that causes the storm to cease and brings into existence God’s supernatural
peace that passes all understanding. Jesus said call unto me and I will answer
you and show you great and mighty things; Jeremiah 33:3. There is not a storm
that God’s Word cannot cause to cease.
Today,
I want to encourage you to speak the Word. Find scriptures to release toward
the storm and see how one word, one scripture can cause the storm to be
peaceful and still. Speak the Word and see God’s supernatural hand calm the
storms in your life.
