REBUKE THE WINDS!
Are these devastating hurricanes truly natural or manipulated by men for evil purposes? Worse yet, are they being demonically driven in order to hinder and stop God’s purposes in this nation?
When Jesus dealt with the storm on the Sea of Galilee in Mark 4, He didn’t just speak to the winds – He rebuked them. His rebuke was the same rebuke He spoke just 2 chapters earlier to the demonized man with the unclean spirit. He was speaking not just to sickness, but to the demons causing the sickness. He knew the true source of the problem and rebuked the demonic presence fueling it.
At the time of this unexpected storm on the sea, Jesus was headed to deliver a man possessed by a legion of demons who had taken control of a territory (Mark 5).
A major breakthrough in that region was about to occur because a demonic host was about to be expelled. Is it any wonder that the enemy would try and stop this breakthrough by stirring up a storm to deter Jesus’s mission?
Is it any wonder that these hurricanes are devastating specific regions that are not only key in an upcoming election, but contain valuable resources the enemy seeks to control? Could the devil actually cause storms to stop God’s redemptive purposes? Of course he could. But regardless of anyone’s conclusion about such “conspiracies”, we need to follow Jesus’s example. His immediate instruction to the disciples following His command was to exercise their faith. He expected them to do as He did and not allow fear or doubt to neuter their authority.
We don’t need to get hung up on whether or not the hurricanes are natural. All we need to know is that Jesus gave us authority over the works of darkness. He empowered us to defeat any scheme of the enemy that seeks to steal, kill, or destroy. Let’s agree together that these winds and waves must cease and desist, in Jesus’ name. Let’s believe that we carry the same authority as the Prince of Peace and command the storms to be still. The Lord is about to finish a major work of deliverance in this nation and He needs us to rise in faith and render these storms null and void.
