I read with
serious concern this evening the news of threats to Tampa and other
Florida cities posed by the approaching storm. These are truly serious
situations. The good thing is that the Lord Jesus has equipped the
Church with the necessary spiritual tools to avert these and other
serious threats of nature.
I encourage everyone, particularly those
from the Tampa/St. Pete and surrounding areas to stand against these
storms in faith and rebuke them, just like Jesus did.
Some may wonder how I can say this. Well,
I happened to be in Tampa during two hurricane threats of the past. The
first being in 1985 (don't recall which one now) much prayer went up to
God and the then storm could not come inland. Winds and some rain were
experienced, but nothing major, as the forecast had warned about.
The second was August 1992, when Andrew
was slated to bring it's predicted devastation through. I remember
taking authority over the storm and having the witness of the Spirit
that it wasn't going to hit the area. I am sure that many saints all
had their faith ti God as well for the averting of the danger.
Well,Tampa never got a wiff of andrew, but unfortunately, Other parts
of Miami were devastated.
I have learned many lessons about attacks
of nature over many years, including earthquakes. The bottom line is
that if we can exercise the authority that Christ delegated to His
followers we will be spared these things.
Just a reminder to us that Jesus said that
whatever we bind or loose (forbid or allow) on earth will be so
bound/loosed in heaven. We therefore must press in and believe that
when we speak to the mountain (hurricane) that threatens our safety God
will act on our behalf, and that we can have what we say.
America is attacked by many natural
disasters, and often I've wanted to share these thoughts on TT, but
have refrained until now. In my country of Trinidad and Tobago, I do
this very often, indeed. God really is faithful in this.
