Speaker 1 (00:37):
Good morning and welcome to You are the apple of
God's eye. I hope you had a wonderful week and
we are excited and excited today for what the Lord
is going to do. Today's episode is very powerful. God
(00:59):
wants to minister to you about peace in the middle
of this store. My signature peace. You are the apple
Love God. Hi, you are the Love God. You are
(01:26):
all right. I just want to get some acknowledgments out
of the way. I want to give honor and glory
to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, my phenomenal family,
my brothers and sisters in Christ. Just want to bless
the Lord for who he is and all that He's doing.
(01:47):
I just want to throw some names out there. I
want to thank God for being the lifter up of
my head, for being my strong deliverer, my healer, my
wonderful counselor. I want to thank God for my family members,
both in the gospel and literal. So I want to
acknowledge Kenwin, Francis Peters, Hazel Richards, Junior Brown, Gwynett Brown,
(02:13):
Jerome Brown, Jillian Brown, Marlene Hamilton, and all the various
people that God has used over the years to make
and mold me for those that taught it not robbery
to share intricate parts of their life that God then
(02:33):
cultivated within me to become a counselor of compassion. Amen,
Praise Peter God. I want to talk a little bit today.
We thank you Jesus for what you're going to do
and how you're going to move. Before we get started,
I just want to remind everyone at Miss Cindy and
(02:55):
everyone that joined in last week went to shout out
to Nisha and various once to Nancy, Jenna, everyone that
is joining internationally as well. I appreciate your comments last week.
Keep coming on, keep inviting others, and we'll see what
the Lord will do. But for those that had some
(03:16):
concerns last week, I just want to say when you
click on the show, you go down to the comment box.
You can either register as anonymous. You can register either
your name or the initials, and you can feel free
to type all of your questions, comments, responses. I will
(03:39):
respond midway or endway of the program. Because remember this
is about the heart of God beating into your air
and about sating back into your heart. So if you
have a question, please do not hesitate to write your
question or your comments, praise the Lord. Okay, storms peace.
(04:05):
In the middle of a storm, the first thing that
comes to mind is the ego. And this is going
to be very profound, because we all know that in
the storm, especially the female ego. At the female, the
female eagle, sorry where especially when she has her eggs,
(04:29):
she sits on them in the storm. Now, this morning
the Lord whispered something very profound to me. As I
was being still before him, He said, to tell you
his people that pregnancy propels a storm. I'll say it again,
(04:54):
pregnancy propels a storm. Now you don't have to be
that's not a literal statement, by the way, that's a
spiritual quotation. So you can be male or female, and
God has deposited or pregnated you with a purpose and
a destiny. And sometimes that's why the storm comes because
(05:16):
of what God has pregnanated you with or given you
to carry, and He trusts you to protect it despite
the external storm, and yet shield the internal thing that
he's given you. So the ego in the storm, you
(05:38):
know that when the storm comes, they wait and they
go into the wind and they fly into the eye
of the storm. And when everyone is in a chaotic state.
They at pleast because they realize that wind from that
storm is going to take them higher. And if we
are honest with ourselves, we will see that every time
(06:03):
we have survived a storm in God, it has taken
us higher than where we were. Okay, so he's in
the middle of a storm. What is a storm? He
has my comical version of it. So today is going
(06:24):
to be serious and intense. So this is my only
opportunity to be comical, So may I have my moments?
Thank you? What is a storm? A storm? Is a storm?
Are my version? Again, winds arguing that take a violent
turn and cause humans to be at the mercy of
(06:49):
the aggression. It's comical, It's it's true. I'll repeat that.
My version of a storm, which is a comical reaction,
are winds that winds arguing that take a violent turn
and cause humans to be at the mercy of their aggression. Now,
(07:17):
on a serious note, another definition from me of a
storm a harmonic atmosphere that turns into a sudden destructive
and distructive and destructive turbulence. So a storm, I'll repeat that, also,
(07:39):
a harmonic atmosphere that turns into a sudden disruptive and
destructive turbulence. So here we are in the middle of
a storm called life. We can either fight to survive
(08:00):
or be consumed by it.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
My second category, why God permits storms. Everything that happens
happens because God allows it. Can nothing happen unless He
choose to allow it. So what would be God's purpose
(08:26):
or his reasoning for allowing a storm? He reveals himself
to you in it. The second point. It demonstrates his
(08:47):
character of being your deliverer and healer in the storm.
The third point, God reveals you're suppressed or ignored fears
(09:15):
point number four to shift you from fear to faith.
My fifth point, to unfold within you strength that was
(09:35):
dormant that only a storm will activate. I hope you
guys got that those small five points. Remember you can
always go back and listen. Powerful, isn't it? Types of storms.
(09:58):
Someone may have a health diagnosis. That's a storm because
you're faced with the normal that you were before you
were sick. You're faced with the report of the doctors,
and now you're forced to survive all of that. Some people,
based on their medical diagnosis, have to alter their diet,
(10:21):
which is a tremendous life change. They may have to
exercise or stop exercising, and if that were something they
enjoyed doing or not doing, I now have to do.
It's a complete turnaround. So then what do we do
in the storm? I want to remind you done in
John in three John one two, God says that I
(10:42):
wish among all things that my people prosper and being
good health. So you must know that if your storm
is your health, you must know that it is the
will and the desire of God for you to know
that He wants you to behold, to be he and
to be restored. It is his desire above desires. For
(11:06):
some people, their job might be a store. That's not
my testimony. I thank God for the people he had
brought in my life. Shout out to my angels. Amen,
they know who they are. The Bible says and first
Thessalonians five eighteen. In all things, gift hands, even though
(11:27):
you may not understand it. I think of and I
don't want to get off course, but as the Holy
Spirit drop things in my spread, I'm always going to
be obedient. I think of Joseph when he started working
for his uncle Layman, the scripture says, a layman changed
his wages ten.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Times, ten times.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And it was never a change that was progressive or
going towards wealth, but in actuality. And we're going to
save that lesson for another time to lucidate in the
future when we talk about that. But Jacob, my God,
Jacob's wages was changed ten times by his uncle layman,
(12:12):
who was his employer, and it was never meant to
liberate him out of bondage, but it was strategically designed
to ensnare him in economic and financial slavement. And if
that's your situation, the Word of God says, in all things,
give God thanks, because even in the midst of an unfair,
(12:35):
oppressive situation, the favor of God will intervene and intercept
and give you favor. And because of God's favor, Jacob
was able with the speckle sheep. We're not going to
go about it today. Because of the speckled sheep, he
was able to free himself out of that debt and
enter into excess and abundance. The same God of yesterday
(12:58):
today forever that change is not is the same God
that sees, that knows, and is going to move on
your behalf Maybe someone's storm is their marriage. Maybe there's
the children. Maybe the children are giving trouble. Maybe there's
(13:18):
the absence of children where you want children, or children
may have died in the marriage, or you feel that
the flame in your marriage that was there is not
there anymore. You need to refer to my book A
Woman's Emotionality Sport in the future. I'll let you know
where you can purchase it. But what I want you
(13:40):
to know that First Corinthians, chapter thirteen talks about is
the love chapter, and it says that love understand it
or things beirit or things intuit or things. I want
to encourage the couples to pray together, to ask the
Lord to show you to see each other's heart as
God sees each other, not the si ccumstance, not the
(14:01):
influences of the world. Don't let that get into your marriage.
Don't let that influence your children. And also parents, don't
let the growing stage of children, but their adolescents or
their rebellion. Don't let it make you shift permanently in
a negative. I dare you to still speak life and
(14:24):
declare the word of God over them. Finance can be
a can be a storm. Sometimes when it's too little.
It puts you in a category of poverty. I think
there's a scripture that says no one is a friend
to the poor. That's sad, but it's true. But everyone
likes the well the rich because they give gifts, and
(14:46):
for some people that might be through. So finances can
be an issue, the lack of or the cause of hmm,
something to think about. And you can can also be
a storm. Those who have it can generate envy and jealousy,
(15:08):
and those who don't have it can generate insecurity. So
education can become a storm. Remember whatever your storm is, Jesus,
is there your past. Some people have had less colorful
passes I have, which will be discussed at later programs
(15:30):
as we go through weekly. But I want you to
know that Philippians three thirteen through fourteen says, forgetting that
which is behind me, I press forward towards the mark
of the high calling we cannot the past is called
the past for a reason. We cannot be stocked there.
(15:54):
We have to push forward, propel forward. Think about it.
If we didn't grow up and enjoy ice cream, or
at least I couldn't little child there, Condemnation is a
serious prison I tangled for delivering me from that. People
look at it as a light word. It doesn't matter
(16:14):
if I know people who are in prison literal prisons,
but they are free in their spirit, They're free in
their emotions. And they're people who are not physically imprisoned,
but they're spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, and mentally imprisoned in their being.
And condemnation is that. Romance eight one says there is
(16:40):
therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus.
Now there's a condition. If you are in Christ Jesus,
and you walk not after the flesh, but fulfill the
law of the spirit, there is no condemnation. So from
this day thought, I decline the cree to those of
you that are in Christ. Given your life to Jesus Christ,
(17:01):
he is your Lord and Savior, that from this day fought,
there is no condemnation. The past is the past. Give
it to God. You've given your life to Christ. All
things are passed away, and all things are become new.
So be at peace despite the storm. Be at peace.
(17:23):
Unforgiveness the most common thing among human beings. It is
imperative that we forgive ourselves. It is easy for us
to accept that Christ has forgiven us, But we keep
the key in the prison door, another prison called unforgiveness.
(17:45):
We keep that key in that prison door by choosing
not to forgive ourselves. Jesus Christ did not come and
die and the cross for you to be free, only
for you to put yourself in a prison where you're
getting that from apostle easy. Lazarus was dead for three days, decomposed,
(18:06):
and he went in and resurrected him. Christ is all
about liberating us from dead, secure from dead circumstances. He
is the recescitator of our destinies. He is grief, something
that we don't talk about enough. Grief can be a
(18:33):
monster because there's nothing stronger I can use. People who
are in grief are hurting very deeply. There is no
life people, and the devil doesn't show any compassion to
(18:55):
someone that is hurting from grief. So if you know
someone in your life that is experiencing grief, be praying,
be supportive, and be very careful what you say, because
when a person is hurting, it's like their spirit man
is an open wound and anything you say can go in.
(19:16):
Sometimes people will say things with the intent in their
heart to be encouraging, like saying how long will you grieve?
How long are you going to keep crying? You can't
say that. You can pray for their grief to be expedient,
but you cannot tell someone how long to grief.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
For that.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
As Romance AD twenty six twenty, it said, the spirit
of God bears our infirmity with utterances that cannot that
we can't explain. So I want you to lean on
the Lord to encourage you in your grief poverty. As
a fifty five one, Jesus said, come without money. I
(20:05):
know there's a lot of institutions and organizations, both clerical
and non ministerial, that teach doctrines about payment. God specifically
says to come without money. He came for the poor,
(20:27):
and he came for the rich. He didn't come for
your substance. He came for your heart. That's it. So betrayals, deception, depression, pain,
emotional psychological torment, all these things. The whole Book of
(20:52):
Proverbs has hundreds of scriptures that you can pour in
your spirit now to bring healing. As you open the
Word of God, allow the Lord to open up your understanding.
We're coming to a close. All right, examples of life storms.
(21:18):
Some of us may say, well, prefers a possible I
read these things in the Bible. This has nothing to
do with me. Well, let's talk about a few. John
the Baptist was beheaded, and he didn't do anything wrong.
(21:38):
Even Jesus said, there's no greater profit than John the Baptists.
John the Baptist was one that was devoted to the
extreme in serving God, to the point where he sacrificed
a life of luxury and prestige. We talk about that
(21:59):
at another seid that he had qualified for It was
his inheritance to have that lifestyle. But he chose to
be in the wilderness, eaten locus and wild honey, just
so he could be in a place of no distraction,
to hear, feel and experience the voice of God, run
(22:22):
with the will of God, and demonstrate the power of God. Indeed,
and he was beheaded. So imagine his disciples. And the
scripture said that John has disciples that followed him and
saw him live this dedicated life, and then he was beheaded.
(22:48):
Imagine how disheartening it was for them to see that,
and what it must have done to their fate. So
those of you who have a walk with God and
your experiencing things in ministry, in church, and family, in life.
Where the storm is in the church or in the Bible,
or in your walk or in your faith with God,
(23:12):
there's no new thing under the sun. Let's continue with
the examples of life's storms. Mary being pregnant with Jesus
outside of marriage, before marriage, the Joseph dilemma. Then the ultimate.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
To me.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Is Jesus, right. I said this at the beginning, pregnancy
propels a storm. Jesus Christ God baptized. And this was
where the three of them came together, the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. Jesus a son was baptized, the
(24:06):
Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, and God
the Father spoke from heaven all three at the same time,
and God said, this is my beloved son, in whom
I am well pleased. Immediately after, he was taken up
to the wilderness and entered into forty to forty day fast,
(24:28):
where the devil persecuted him gave him her trials. So
when you are in the storm, that is not the
time to cry. But look within your spirit and now say, God,
what have you impregnated me? With that. I haven't I
(24:50):
haven't seen. I heard a preacher this week said sometimes
that when we cry, the tears from our humanness get
in our eyes. That closed our vision from what God
is trying to show us spiritually. How powerful is that
(25:10):
Elizabeth was pregnant in her old age? That was a storm,
being the ridicule of her community and her family in
her old age. Even though it was an answer preys,
it was still a ridicule. We could talk about Hannah
who badly wanted her child and was made of mockery
in house, mockery because Penia lived in the same house
(25:31):
with her and remind flaunted her children in front of her.
Maybe what you desire you secretly praying somebody else on
the outside. Mayo Mina know it, and they're flaunting it
in your face. That can be a storm. But I'm
here to tell you, just like no one ever talked
about Penia's children anymore, the child that God gave Hannah,
(25:55):
which was Samuel, defined the world even that we live
in today. Likewise, that which God has given you that
is brewing in that storm, that God is trusting your
faith to hold it and not abort it. That thing
that God has entrusted you to carry in the storm
(26:18):
will be a Samuel Job's friends. I see the time
is running away. Job's friends thought they were comforting him,
but their words were words of accusation and condemnation. Maybe
(26:39):
you're going through a storm where those you have been
there for when you expected them to be there for you,
and you're looking to them for comfort, it's become the opposite.
God is still on his throne. The Holy Spirit is
still your comforter. Aren't you glad Sometimes that the word
(27:00):
the crutches in our lives that we depend on, God
removes them because it brings our fate forty five Our
fate becomes fortified in God because of that. When we
look for people, God shows up who better. So if
you're going through that type of storm, know that God
(27:22):
is with you. Matthew, Chapter fourteen we're going to jump
into in a little minute, but I want to talk
about another storm. Peter was among the eleven. One of
the things that the Lord brought to light in that
(27:45):
chapter that blew my mind was this. Peter was one
of the twelve Disciples. He preached prophesies, spoke in tongues,
cast out devils, all of that. But when he was thinking,
none of them came to his rescue, none of them
(28:09):
pleaded on his behalf. That's a storm. It's a storm
to be surrounded by people that you think are your friends,
but they have an angle or agenda. It's a storm
where you figure we are all in the same boat.
(28:29):
We all carry the same title, the same office, the
same mantle, we all work for the same company. We're
all the heavenly Father's children. Hear me, people, and then
those that you think would be that support, prove to
you they are not. What a storm will do. Listen
(28:52):
carefully what a storm will do. It will reveal to
you the hearts of those in your inner circle. And
only a god ordained storm to do that. He never
(29:14):
saw that until the storm. The three Hebrew boys was
put into a storm. They were put into a fiery furnace.
And Jesus the Bible this is the old Testament where
(29:35):
God hadn't come in the flesh year. And the scripture said,
and the fourth man looked like the son of God.
How they knew what the son of God looked like.
So even if you were in a storm, Daniel was
put in the lions den. That's a storm where you're
(29:58):
maybe the storm you're in this where your enemies have
set a trap for you to fail or to fall
or their they're the lions with their palate or their
appetite to devour him. Represents you in a storm and
people are assassinating your character. Jesus karabakusan l labosa. Jesus
(30:21):
Christ is Lord. That can be hot wrenching, heart wrenching.
What do you do? Just remember that Jesus is in
the storm looking at the time. We're going to go
(30:41):
to Matthew chapter fourteen very quickly because I want to
give time to everyone's questions. Okay, Matthew Chapter fourteen, from
verses twenty two to thirty four. I'm coming from the
King James version of the Bible. Father, we thank you
(31:01):
that your word is going forward now and ministering to
every heart, every soul, and every life. And Father, we
thank you that you're giving us the antidope. You're giving
us the victory rod and how to come out of
the storm while preserving that which you have given us
in Jesus name. Verse twenty two and straight away, Jesus
(31:24):
constrained his disciples to get into a ship and to
go before him onto the other side while he sent
the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away,
he went into a mountain apart to pray. Now I
don't have time to go into this, but if you
read the beginning of the chapter, this was the same
(31:47):
day that Jesus found out his cousin John the Baptist
was beheaded, and he did the miracle with the five
loaves and tree fishes. Straight away, he went in a
mountain to pray. And when the evening had come, so
he had prayed for hours before this ship scenario, he
(32:08):
came went into the evening was come. He was there
alone verse twenty four. But the ship was now in
the midst of the sea, tossed with waves, for the
wind was contrary. We talk about things that appear to
be going against whatever your storm is. But all things
(32:31):
were together for good to them that loved the Lord,
that accord according to his purpose Verse twenty five. And
in the fourth watch this means very late, like in
the four am into six am hour, and in the
fourth watch of the night, the night, not the day,
the night. Jesus went on to them walking on the sea,
(32:58):
and when the disciples saw him walking on the sea.
They were trouble, saying, it is a spirit, and they
cried out of fear. So even though they walked to him,
they had the ability to disern what spirits would look like.
Verse twenty seven. But straight away Jesus speak unto them, saying,
(33:19):
be of good share. It is I be not afraid.
And what is God saying to you today, his peace
to you in the storm, because he changes not as
be of good cheer. It is I the I am
that I am, be not afraid. And Peter answered him
(33:43):
and said, Lord, if thou would bid me come onto
thee underwater, what did Peter do wrong? For the first
time he did something right. I'm teasing he said, bid
me to come in the water verse twenty nine. And
he said come, and Jesus said come. So maybe, just maybe,
the storm you're in is a storm that you ignited.
(34:07):
It is a storm that you called when you said, God,
draw me closer, God. I want to be used by you. God.
I want you to use me as a voice to
encourage and empower that activated the storm. And God is
still saying, be not afraid. I'm with you. He said come.
And when Peter came, and when Peter was come down
(34:30):
out of the ship, he walked on water to go
to Jesus. So as long as you have the faith
to ask God, he also has the strength to make
the impossible possible and turn the natural into the supernatural.
But there's a condition with that verse thirty. And when
(34:52):
he saw, be careful what you're seeing. When he saw
the wind voicrus, he was afraid and began to sink.
When you are walking with God, you cannot be distracted
(35:14):
by what you see, or what you hear, or the
winds you feel. You must remain focused. Your destiny and
the destiny of those connected to you are contingent upon it.
It depends on that your focus will determine whether someone
survives or dies in God. First thy I'll read again.
(35:37):
And when he saw the wind voicrus, he was afraid
and began to sink. He cried, saying, Lord, save me.
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught him,
and said, unto him, or dower of little fate, wherefore
(36:00):
did this do doubt? Again? The disciples never called out
for him, They never made a rope to save him.
They didn't say Jesus our brother is drunking. They were
just watching this scenario, and he said, oh, dou of
(36:20):
little faith, So Lord, we ask you to strengthen our
faith in our storms today. And she's a snake for
a study. Two. And when they came onto the ship,
the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship
came and worship him, saying of a truth, Thou art
(36:41):
the Son of God. And when they were gone over,
they came into the land of Genera. And when I
looked up the meaning of Jena, it means the garden
of the prince or garden of riches. God is about
to restore your peace in the storm. In my conclusion,
(37:08):
a storm, and immediately after these four points, I will
be coming into the comments and questions. A storm is
a prophetic glimpse of the purpose God created you for.
Number two, Jesus meets you in the storm and your
(37:34):
faith becomes transformed. Number three, God uses the storms of
life to come past your destiny, pivot you in a
direction you would not have chosen. You were not aware
(37:55):
you could even do, But He uses that to bring
you there exactly how He has be here today. Number four,
your fears are converted to forty five faith in God,
in Jesus that's not only unstoppable or unmovable, but unshakeable.
(38:26):
Praise the Lord. Thank you Jesus. I bless the Lord. Okay,
I see a lot of comments. Thank you Jesus. Glory
(38:48):
be to God.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus Us. Hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yes, Lord, so on fire for Jesus. We thank God
for the storms of life. One person wrote, I'm not
going to call the name for wisdom sake and timing sake.
(39:35):
Thank you Father for every storm you allowed me to
go through and giving me the strength and courage to overcome.
Hallelujah to the Most High God. Yes, we thank God
for the storms that he's bringing us through. Hallelujah. Glory
(39:57):
be to God. Thank you. She Father is speaking. Hallelujah.
We thank God that you recognize that the Lord is
ministering to you today in your storm. Hallelujah. Beautiful. I
(40:19):
love that question, Woman of God that prophetes send beyond,
I love it. It says a beautiful and blessed to you.
Apostle nicolaid, how do you manage to stay focus on
your call that Father God has called you to do?
(40:43):
You have no other choice. Someone said to me, I
don't know where he got it from. Profert David. He said,
when it comes to a store, you will either sink
(41:04):
in fear or swim in faith. I'll say that when
you're caught in a storm, Profet David said. Profet El
David said to me a couple of years ago, when
it comes to a storm, you would either sink in
fear or from fear, or swim in faith. The thing
(41:29):
is when you understand that you are not in the
storm alone, that Jesus is with you, you don't have
to worry about sinking or swimming because the spirit of
the Living God is going to come in and become
that wind for you as an ego to so, yeah, yeah,
(41:58):
you can survive this storm. Wow. Wow, the thing is Jesse,
(42:25):
imagine Jesus, Judith Jesse, imagine Peter was in such close
proximity to Jesus. Let's use the distance of here. This
is Jesus. This was Peter, and while he was watching him,
he was going straight, but a wind came between and
(42:48):
for that quick second took his attention or his ass
took his attention off of Jesus, and he began to sink.
So if Peter within close proximity had the ability to sink,
it's only natural. As humans, there would be challenges without
(43:08):
visual and not audible. When you're going through a storm,
unless the people in your life, your most welcome prophetess
and beyond to God be the glory. Unless the people
that are speaking into your storm are speaking the word
of God and the heart beat of God. Do not
(43:32):
expose your air to anyone. Don't expose your eyes to
anything that would discourage you. I remember going through many things,
but I remember going through a storm, and every time
I would try to heal without wearing a T shirt
that said I'm trying to heal, somebody would say something
(43:57):
to become like a like to pull me back cords
into the place of brokenness, and they wanted even awhere.
They said, oh, did you hear such and such? A
did you know such and such? So another way you
can avoid what you see is to even avoid those
are the enemies using to be the bearer of bad
news to take you in a place. When Jesus, when
(44:20):
Jesus was going up, I love it. When Jesus was ascended,
he said something so profound he says, my peace, I
leave with you that your joy will remain. Father, forgive me.
(44:41):
I hope I'm not saying something wrong. Imagine that God
fills a balloon of water, a small but a medium
sized balloon of water, and place it inside of you.
That's your joy. But every time something happens in life
(45:02):
that disturbs your peace, it's hitting the balloon, or based
on how bad the information or the storm is, it
turns from a hitting of the balloon to maybe a
pin that punctues the balloon, and the joy of the
(45:22):
Lord depletes. There's another scripture that says, the joy of
the Lord is your strength. You cannot allow show us.
A pregnant woman will not allow anyone to harm her baby.
No one walks around with all the money they have
in the bank on top of their head, or pined
(45:43):
on their clothes and walk in the street for people
to pull it, because we protect that which is valuable
to us. Likewise, your joy. When he ascended up, you
know his last thing he said on earth as he
was going up, because he knew there's enough things in
life that would challenge your peace. And the peace is
(46:06):
the gate to your house, which is joy and if
the enemy can disrupt your peace to the point where
again Jesus said that your joy will remain because if
it depletes, you need that to survive this race that
we're running in God, this race called life. Thank you, Jesus,
(46:32):
We thank you for your blood.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
God.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
Does God have a question. I'm loving the questions and
the comments. Does God rescue us from storms that the
devil sets up for us? Here's what the Word of
God says. And a nd all things work together for
(47:03):
good to them that love the Lord. And a card
according to his purpose, which means if God of yet,
the same God of yesterday today forever, that changes not
who had the ability to cause in the Old Testament,
and acts an all rusty, insignificant acts to float. Surely,
(47:31):
if he wants to pull us out or rescue us
out of a storm, he will. But if he chooses
to keep you in it, there's a bonus attached to it.
It's a bonus for you, it's a bonus for his glory.
And the bonus is a black eye to the enemy. Again,
(47:55):
if you knew the storm that the Lord put me through,
there were times if I can't be honest, and I
always will be I fear no one but God. That
I began to wonder, does God love me? You know
what that? Do you know what God had me carrying
(48:18):
in that storm? This you? He would he wouldn't say
to me when I was at my worst and my
most brokenness. He would say, you are the apple of
my eye. And he would say and tell them, And
I would say, God, tell who them? Prophetically he knew
(48:40):
this day, you, this moment, this show, this series would
be That's what that storm was about. Then I began
to you know, my human is and the scripture. I
would say, well, you know, the Lord never forsake the righteous,
so maybe I'm not righteous? Maybe the Lord that's all
those things I lie from the pit of her He
(49:01):
uses the storm to shields you from the unnecessary distractions.
People comes to air banquet. Nobody goes to a storm.
Think about it and what is found and forty five
in that storm is the voice of God and the
love of God. So yes, Prophet is sign beyond does
(49:28):
God rescue us from a storm that the devil put
us in? Maybe? But the witness I'm getting in my
spirit is that if God is allowing the storm, He's
going to meet you in it and give the enemy
a black eye from it. Next question, how do we
(49:55):
know the difference between a storm to avoid and those
that will strengthen us. That's a powerful question. I can't
wait to have you as a guess on this show.
(50:21):
There's nothing that's done on the earth that God doesn't
allow or deem to be. I think of you talk
about a storm being avoided. The thing is with a
storm that God has permitted, you'll never know until the
end when you get your reward, and then you know
(50:45):
that it was a God storm. Even though sometimes God
can be quiet in the storm where you feel He
has forgotten you or neglected you, those are lies. It's
not true. He's right there. He's right there in the
storm with you. But one thing you could know the
story of David had a friend Jonathan, and Jonathan had
(51:07):
a son named Mfiberschat and Ma Feberschat was in a
place called Lodibar, which means dry, uncultivated wilderness. Literally was
a land of impunishment, and nobody could survive. Not even
trees would grow in Lodibar. That's how patched Lodibar was.
(51:30):
And David had made a covenant with Jonathan, his friend
that was dear for him when he was going through.
Thank you Morred when he was going through. When Jonathan
was alive, and he said, you know, he did a
kinship covenant with him that wherever you go, we will
look after each other's children all the days of our life.
Per se. And Jonathan died. And then when David became king,
(51:53):
then tell somebody then, because even though you're in the storm,
there's coming at then, even though you're in a storm
where you going through, there is coming at then where
God will raise you up and God will do it
then in you and with them. And then King David said,
is there any one of the House of Saul or
(52:16):
Jonathan that he can be a blessing to? So even
though being in the storm seem quiet and you don't
hear God or feel God's voice, the fact that you
know He is with you, and the way that God
says either Lord, God will never leave you, or for
sake you, he never will. So because you are reassured
(52:37):
in that, you can know that God is with you,
he is grooming you, He's preserving you in it to
bring you through it. So because Jonathan, I'm sorry, Mafibershet
was in lordi Bar when King David called for him,
he was able to bring him. The scripture said, and
(52:57):
King David let him sit at the king's with his sons.
And we know the story that Mephibishet was crippled and
he ate with him as one of his sons all
the days of his life. Now, the custom was in
those days anyone who sat at the King's table would
be draped from their waists down with linen. So no
(53:20):
one at the table knew that Mfibershett, who was received,
who came from extreme rejection, abandonment, impurlishment, lack, poverty, the
scorn of life. This my fiber shed well yesterday. And
then he is now suddenly is at the King's table
(53:42):
and was able to talk, was able to interact, was valued.
So wherever your dishonor is, as you plug into Jesus,
he will to honor. Wherever they are shamed, God will
turn it for his glory. Wherever there is ridiculed, God
will turn it to restoration of others. And I'm not
telling you biblically. I'm telling you because God has allowed
(54:03):
me to live this. I'm telling you that God can
do anything except fail. So if you are in a
storm and God is allowing that storm, he is going
to bring you through it. And how do you get strength?
You draw closer to him. Hannah prayed aloud for years,
(54:29):
and God did not respond to her. When she cried
in her heart quietly, the scripture says, and her lips move,
but no words came out. Sometimes a storm will grip
you so hogh. They want to take your very breath away.
But what you do with that storm is you get
quiet before the Lord and let your petition in your
(54:53):
hearts be heard to God and not in the airs
of mankind. Karabakhusan di debosa, And then God will bring
you through the storm. Then God will activate his strength
through the storm. Thank you, Jesus, Cyndy, I greet you
(55:15):
in the wonderful name of Jesus. I give God praise
and tanks for you for all that is joining. Wow.
Last comment from the prophet is, make God, my father God,
continue his good work in and through you and others.
(55:36):
In Jesus' name. I receive, I receive, and I release
to you as well. You know. Wow, Mighty God, Mighty God,
be encouraged use your storm, like the eagles, wait for
(55:57):
the wind of it, and so in it. Jesus, after
his baptism, he entered immediately into the wilderness where he
was taken up the scriptures. And immediately he was taken
up into the wilderness fast at forty days and tempted
of the devil. And in that forty day, that one
(56:18):
forty day fast, when Jesus exited that fast, three years
he did miracles, signs, and wonder because what you do
in your storm will determine how far if you fly
or if you saw. The only way you can sow
(56:43):
after coming through a storm is getting connected and tapped
in to the presence, the will and the voice of God.
Sometime you come to a place where you say, God,
I just want to hear your voice. I don't want
to hear anything or anybody, just your God. And there's
(57:09):
nothing wrong with that. You get still before him, because
as you are being still, there's a wind of the
spirit of God that is taking up currency. It is
that currency is taken up currency. It is lifting you
out of these lordy bars. It is lifting you out
(57:31):
of these pain, out of these turmoils, out of it all,
and it's taking you from being a peasant and putting
you in a podium. But the secret to sowing is
the presence of God in the storm. Thank you Jasus hallelujah.
(58:10):
I want to thank you all so much. I want
to while I have a few minutes left, I want
to thank you all again for joining keep continuing to
look weekly. Of course, you know you can access by

in various aspects that has ever said even a single
word of encouragement. And for those of you that continue
to pray for me, I thank you. So as we're
ending the program, Father, I thank you God that you're
(59:41):
touching the lives of everyone that I've heard, God, that
will hear Lord, that you're ministering your strength and your
power to them. Father God, I thank you that you're
giving them the strength which is your voice, which is
your presence, which is your will God, for them to
recognize that or God that even as the caterpillar in
(01:00:02):
the cocoon, or God that is quiet being chiseled. God,
that they're coming into that quiet place in your presence
of God and recognizing God that you are the one
that created, allowing and giving them the exit from their storm. God,
and you're bringing them through greater for your glory in
(01:00:25):
Jesus' name. Amen. See you all next week. Love you,
be blessed, be encouraged. Remember as you go through your storm,
be still in the Lord. Love you, and remember you
are the apple of God's eyes.
Good morning and welcome to You are the apple of
God's eye. I hope you had a wonderful week and
we are excited and excited today for what the Lord
is going to do. Today's episode is very powerful. God
(00:59):
wants to minister to you about peace in the middle
of this store. My signature peace. You are the apple
Love God. Hi, you are the Love God. You are
(01:26):
all right. I just want to get some acknowledgments out
of the way. I want to give honor and glory
to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, my phenomenal family,
my brothers and sisters in Christ. Just want to bless
the Lord for who he is and all that He's doing.
(01:47):
I just want to throw some names out there. I
want to thank God for being the lifter up of
my head, for being my strong deliverer, my healer, my
wonderful counselor. I want to thank God for my family members,
both in the gospel and literal. So I want to
acknowledge Kenwin, Francis Peters, Hazel Richards, Junior Brown, Gwynett Brown,
(02:13):
Jerome Brown, Jillian Brown, Marlene Hamilton, and all the various
people that God has used over the years to make
and mold me for those that taught it not robbery
to share intricate parts of their life that God then
(02:33):
cultivated within me to become a counselor of compassion. Amen,
Praise Peter God. I want to talk a little bit today.
We thank you Jesus for what you're going to do
and how you're going to move. Before we get started,
I just want to remind everyone at Miss Cindy and
(02:55):
everyone that joined in last week went to shout out
to Nisha and various once to Nancy, Jenna, everyone that
is joining internationally as well. I appreciate your comments last week.
Keep coming on, keep inviting others, and we'll see what
the Lord will do. But for those that had some
(03:16):
concerns last week, I just want to say when you
click on the show, you go down to the comment box.
You can either register as anonymous. You can register either
your name or the initials, and you can feel free
to type all of your questions, comments, responses. I will
(03:39):
respond midway or endway of the program. Because remember this
is about the heart of God beating into your air
and about sating back into your heart. So if you
have a question, please do not hesitate to write your
question or your comments, praise the Lord. Okay, storms peace.
(04:05):
In the middle of a storm, the first thing that
comes to mind is the ego. And this is going
to be very profound, because we all know that in
the storm, especially the female ego. At the female, the
female eagle, sorry where especially when she has her eggs,
(04:29):
she sits on them in the storm. Now, this morning
the Lord whispered something very profound to me. As I
was being still before him, He said, to tell you
his people that pregnancy propels a storm. I'll say it again,
(04:54):
pregnancy propels a storm. Now you don't have to be
that's not a literal statement, by the way, that's a
spiritual quotation. So you can be male or female, and
God has deposited or pregnated you with a purpose and
a destiny. And sometimes that's why the storm comes because
(05:16):
of what God has pregnanated you with or given you
to carry, and He trusts you to protect it despite
the external storm, and yet shield the internal thing that
he's given you. So the ego in the storm, you
(05:38):
know that when the storm comes, they wait and they
go into the wind and they fly into the eye
of the storm. And when everyone is in a chaotic state.
They at pleast because they realize that wind from that
storm is going to take them higher. And if we
are honest with ourselves, we will see that every time
(06:03):
we have survived a storm in God, it has taken
us higher than where we were. Okay, so he's in
the middle of a storm. What is a storm? He
has my comical version of it. So today is going
(06:24):
to be serious and intense. So this is my only
opportunity to be comical, So may I have my moments?
Thank you? What is a storm? A storm? Is a storm?
Are my version? Again, winds arguing that take a violent
turn and cause humans to be at the mercy of
(06:49):
the aggression. It's comical, It's it's true. I'll repeat that.
My version of a storm, which is a comical reaction,
are winds that winds arguing that take a violent turn
and cause humans to be at the mercy of their aggression. Now,
(07:17):
on a serious note, another definition from me of a
storm a harmonic atmosphere that turns into a sudden destructive
and distructive and destructive turbulence. So a storm, I'll repeat that, also,
(07:39):
a harmonic atmosphere that turns into a sudden disruptive and
destructive turbulence. So here we are in the middle of
a storm called life. We can either fight to survive
(08:00):
or be consumed by it.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
My second category, why God permits storms. Everything that happens
happens because God allows it. Can nothing happen unless He
choose to allow it. So what would be God's purpose
(08:26):
or his reasoning for allowing a storm? He reveals himself
to you in it. The second point. It demonstrates his
(08:47):
character of being your deliverer and healer in the storm.
The third point, God reveals you're suppressed or ignored fears
(09:15):
point number four to shift you from fear to faith.
My fifth point, to unfold within you strength that was
(09:35):
dormant that only a storm will activate. I hope you
guys got that those small five points. Remember you can
always go back and listen. Powerful, isn't it? Types of storms.
(09:58):
Someone may have a health diagnosis. That's a storm because
you're faced with the normal that you were before you
were sick. You're faced with the report of the doctors,
and now you're forced to survive all of that. Some people,
based on their medical diagnosis, have to alter their diet,
(10:21):
which is a tremendous life change. They may have to
exercise or stop exercising, and if that were something they
enjoyed doing or not doing, I now have to do.
It's a complete turnaround. So then what do we do
in the storm? I want to remind you done in
John in three John one two, God says that I
(10:42):
wish among all things that my people prosper and being
good health. So you must know that if your storm
is your health, you must know that it is the
will and the desire of God for you to know
that He wants you to behold, to be he and
to be restored. It is his desire above desires. For
(11:06):
some people, their job might be a store. That's not
my testimony. I thank God for the people he had
brought in my life. Shout out to my angels. Amen,
they know who they are. The Bible says and first
Thessalonians five eighteen. In all things, gift hands, even though
(11:27):
you may not understand it. I think of and I
don't want to get off course, but as the Holy
Spirit drop things in my spread, I'm always going to
be obedient. I think of Joseph when he started working
for his uncle Layman, the scripture says, a layman changed
his wages ten.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Times, ten times.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And it was never a change that was progressive or
going towards wealth, but in actuality. And we're going to
save that lesson for another time to lucidate in the
future when we talk about that. But Jacob, my God,
Jacob's wages was changed ten times by his uncle layman,
(12:12):
who was his employer, and it was never meant to
liberate him out of bondage, but it was strategically designed
to ensnare him in economic and financial slavement. And if
that's your situation, the Word of God says, in all things,
give God thanks, because even in the midst of an unfair,
(12:35):
oppressive situation, the favor of God will intervene and intercept
and give you favor. And because of God's favor, Jacob
was able with the speckle sheep. We're not going to
go about it today. Because of the speckled sheep, he
was able to free himself out of that debt and
enter into excess and abundance. The same God of yesterday
(12:58):
today forever that change is not is the same God
that sees, that knows, and is going to move on
your behalf Maybe someone's storm is their marriage. Maybe there's
the children. Maybe the children are giving trouble. Maybe there's
(13:18):
the absence of children where you want children, or children
may have died in the marriage, or you feel that
the flame in your marriage that was there is not
there anymore. You need to refer to my book A
Woman's Emotionality Sport in the future. I'll let you know
where you can purchase it. But what I want you
(13:40):
to know that First Corinthians, chapter thirteen talks about is
the love chapter, and it says that love understand it
or things beirit or things intuit or things. I want
to encourage the couples to pray together, to ask the
Lord to show you to see each other's heart as
God sees each other, not the si ccumstance, not the
(14:01):
influences of the world. Don't let that get into your marriage.
Don't let that influence your children. And also parents, don't
let the growing stage of children, but their adolescents or
their rebellion. Don't let it make you shift permanently in
a negative. I dare you to still speak life and
(14:24):
declare the word of God over them. Finance can be
a can be a storm. Sometimes when it's too little.
It puts you in a category of poverty. I think
there's a scripture that says no one is a friend
to the poor. That's sad, but it's true. But everyone
likes the well the rich because they give gifts, and
(14:46):
for some people that might be through. So finances can
be an issue, the lack of or the cause of hmm,
something to think about. And you can can also be
a storm. Those who have it can generate envy and jealousy,
(15:08):
and those who don't have it can generate insecurity. So
education can become a storm. Remember whatever your storm is, Jesus,
is there your past. Some people have had less colorful
passes I have, which will be discussed at later programs
(15:30):
as we go through weekly. But I want you to
know that Philippians three thirteen through fourteen says, forgetting that
which is behind me, I press forward towards the mark
of the high calling we cannot the past is called
the past for a reason. We cannot be stocked there.
(15:54):
We have to push forward, propel forward. Think about it.
If we didn't grow up and enjoy ice cream, or
at least I couldn't little child there, Condemnation is a
serious prison I tangled for delivering me from that. People
look at it as a light word. It doesn't matter
(16:14):
if I know people who are in prison literal prisons,
but they are free in their spirit, They're free in
their emotions. And they're people who are not physically imprisoned,
but they're spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, and mentally imprisoned in their being.
And condemnation is that. Romance eight one says there is
(16:40):
therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus.
Now there's a condition. If you are in Christ Jesus,
and you walk not after the flesh, but fulfill the
law of the spirit, there is no condemnation. So from
this day thought, I decline the cree to those of
you that are in Christ. Given your life to Jesus Christ,
(17:01):
he is your Lord and Savior, that from this day fought,
there is no condemnation. The past is the past. Give
it to God. You've given your life to Christ. All
things are passed away, and all things are become new.
So be at peace despite the storm. Be at peace.
(17:23):
Unforgiveness the most common thing among human beings. It is
imperative that we forgive ourselves. It is easy for us
to accept that Christ has forgiven us, But we keep
the key in the prison door, another prison called unforgiveness.
(17:45):
We keep that key in that prison door by choosing
not to forgive ourselves. Jesus Christ did not come and
die and the cross for you to be free, only
for you to put yourself in a prison where you're
getting that from apostle easy. Lazarus was dead for three days, decomposed,
(18:06):
and he went in and resurrected him. Christ is all
about liberating us from dead, secure from dead circumstances. He
is the recescitator of our destinies. He is grief, something
that we don't talk about enough. Grief can be a
(18:33):
monster because there's nothing stronger I can use. People who
are in grief are hurting very deeply. There is no
life people, and the devil doesn't show any compassion to
(18:55):
someone that is hurting from grief. So if you know
someone in your life that is experiencing grief, be praying,
be supportive, and be very careful what you say, because
when a person is hurting, it's like their spirit man
is an open wound and anything you say can go in.
(19:16):
Sometimes people will say things with the intent in their
heart to be encouraging, like saying how long will you grieve?
How long are you going to keep crying? You can't
say that. You can pray for their grief to be expedient,
but you cannot tell someone how long to grief.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
For that.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
As Romance AD twenty six twenty, it said, the spirit
of God bears our infirmity with utterances that cannot that
we can't explain. So I want you to lean on
the Lord to encourage you in your grief poverty. As
a fifty five one, Jesus said, come without money. I
(20:05):
know there's a lot of institutions and organizations, both clerical
and non ministerial, that teach doctrines about payment. God specifically
says to come without money. He came for the poor,
(20:27):
and he came for the rich. He didn't come for
your substance. He came for your heart. That's it. So betrayals, deception, depression, pain,
emotional psychological torment, all these things. The whole Book of
(20:52):
Proverbs has hundreds of scriptures that you can pour in
your spirit now to bring healing. As you open the
Word of God, allow the Lord to open up your understanding.
We're coming to a close. All right, examples of life storms.
(21:18):
Some of us may say, well, prefers a possible I
read these things in the Bible. This has nothing to
do with me. Well, let's talk about a few. John
the Baptist was beheaded, and he didn't do anything wrong.
(21:38):
Even Jesus said, there's no greater profit than John the Baptists.
John the Baptist was one that was devoted to the
extreme in serving God, to the point where he sacrificed
a life of luxury and prestige. We talk about that
(21:59):
at another seid that he had qualified for It was
his inheritance to have that lifestyle. But he chose to
be in the wilderness, eaten locus and wild honey, just
so he could be in a place of no distraction,
to hear, feel and experience the voice of God, run
(22:22):
with the will of God, and demonstrate the power of God. Indeed,
and he was beheaded. So imagine his disciples. And the
scripture said that John has disciples that followed him and
saw him live this dedicated life, and then he was beheaded.
(22:48):
Imagine how disheartening it was for them to see that,
and what it must have done to their fate. So
those of you who have a walk with God and
your experiencing things in ministry, in church, and family, in life.
Where the storm is in the church or in the Bible,
or in your walk or in your faith with God,
(23:12):
there's no new thing under the sun. Let's continue with
the examples of life's storms. Mary being pregnant with Jesus
outside of marriage, before marriage, the Joseph dilemma. Then the ultimate.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
To me.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Is Jesus, right. I said this at the beginning, pregnancy
propels a storm. Jesus Christ God baptized. And this was
where the three of them came together, the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. Jesus a son was baptized, the
(24:06):
Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, and God
the Father spoke from heaven all three at the same time,
and God said, this is my beloved son, in whom
I am well pleased. Immediately after, he was taken up
to the wilderness and entered into forty to forty day fast,
(24:28):
where the devil persecuted him gave him her trials. So
when you are in the storm, that is not the
time to cry. But look within your spirit and now say, God,
what have you impregnated me? With that. I haven't I
(24:50):
haven't seen. I heard a preacher this week said sometimes
that when we cry, the tears from our humanness get
in our eyes. That closed our vision from what God
is trying to show us spiritually. How powerful is that
(25:10):
Elizabeth was pregnant in her old age? That was a storm,
being the ridicule of her community and her family in
her old age. Even though it was an answer preys,
it was still a ridicule. We could talk about Hannah
who badly wanted her child and was made of mockery
in house, mockery because Penia lived in the same house
(25:31):
with her and remind flaunted her children in front of her.
Maybe what you desire you secretly praying somebody else on
the outside. Mayo Mina know it, and they're flaunting it
in your face. That can be a storm. But I'm
here to tell you, just like no one ever talked
about Penia's children anymore, the child that God gave Hannah,
(25:55):
which was Samuel, defined the world even that we live
in today. Likewise, that which God has given you that
is brewing in that storm, that God is trusting your
faith to hold it and not abort it. That thing
that God has entrusted you to carry in the storm
(26:18):
will be a Samuel Job's friends. I see the time
is running away. Job's friends thought they were comforting him,
but their words were words of accusation and condemnation. Maybe
(26:39):
you're going through a storm where those you have been
there for when you expected them to be there for you,
and you're looking to them for comfort, it's become the opposite.
God is still on his throne. The Holy Spirit is
still your comforter. Aren't you glad Sometimes that the word
(27:00):
the crutches in our lives that we depend on, God
removes them because it brings our fate forty five Our
fate becomes fortified in God because of that. When we
look for people, God shows up who better. So if
you're going through that type of storm, know that God
(27:22):
is with you. Matthew, Chapter fourteen we're going to jump
into in a little minute, but I want to talk
about another storm. Peter was among the eleven. One of
the things that the Lord brought to light in that
(27:45):
chapter that blew my mind was this. Peter was one
of the twelve Disciples. He preached prophesies, spoke in tongues,
cast out devils, all of that. But when he was thinking,
none of them came to his rescue, none of them
(28:09):
pleaded on his behalf. That's a storm. It's a storm
to be surrounded by people that you think are your friends,
but they have an angle or agenda. It's a storm
where you figure we are all in the same boat.
(28:29):
We all carry the same title, the same office, the
same mantle, we all work for the same company. We're
all the heavenly Father's children. Hear me, people, and then
those that you think would be that support, prove to
you they are not. What a storm will do. Listen
(28:52):
carefully what a storm will do. It will reveal to
you the hearts of those in your inner circle. And
only a god ordained storm to do that. He never
(29:14):
saw that until the storm. The three Hebrew boys was
put into a storm. They were put into a fiery furnace.
And Jesus the Bible this is the old Testament where
(29:35):
God hadn't come in the flesh year. And the scripture said,
and the fourth man looked like the son of God.
How they knew what the son of God looked like.
So even if you were in a storm, Daniel was
put in the lions den. That's a storm where you're
(29:58):
maybe the storm you're in this where your enemies have
set a trap for you to fail or to fall
or their they're the lions with their palate or their
appetite to devour him. Represents you in a storm and
people are assassinating your character. Jesus karabakusan l labosa. Jesus
(30:21):
Christ is Lord. That can be hot wrenching, heart wrenching.
What do you do? Just remember that Jesus is in
the storm looking at the time. We're going to go
(30:41):
to Matthew chapter fourteen very quickly because I want to
give time to everyone's questions. Okay, Matthew Chapter fourteen, from
verses twenty two to thirty four. I'm coming from the
King James version of the Bible. Father, we thank you
(31:01):
that your word is going forward now and ministering to
every heart, every soul, and every life. And Father, we
thank you that you're giving us the antidope. You're giving
us the victory rod and how to come out of
the storm while preserving that which you have given us
in Jesus name. Verse twenty two and straight away, Jesus
(31:24):
constrained his disciples to get into a ship and to
go before him onto the other side while he sent
the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away,
he went into a mountain apart to pray. Now I
don't have time to go into this, but if you
read the beginning of the chapter, this was the same
(31:47):
day that Jesus found out his cousin John the Baptist
was beheaded, and he did the miracle with the five
loaves and tree fishes. Straight away, he went in a
mountain to pray. And when the evening had come, so
he had prayed for hours before this ship scenario, he
(32:08):
came went into the evening was come. He was there
alone verse twenty four. But the ship was now in
the midst of the sea, tossed with waves, for the
wind was contrary. We talk about things that appear to
be going against whatever your storm is. But all things
(32:31):
were together for good to them that loved the Lord,
that accord according to his purpose Verse twenty five. And
in the fourth watch this means very late, like in
the four am into six am hour, and in the
fourth watch of the night, the night, not the day,
the night. Jesus went on to them walking on the sea,
(32:58):
and when the disciples saw him walking on the sea.
They were trouble, saying, it is a spirit, and they
cried out of fear. So even though they walked to him,
they had the ability to disern what spirits would look like.
Verse twenty seven. But straight away Jesus speak unto them, saying,
(33:19):
be of good share. It is I be not afraid.
And what is God saying to you today, his peace
to you in the storm, because he changes not as
be of good cheer. It is I the I am
that I am, be not afraid. And Peter answered him
(33:43):
and said, Lord, if thou would bid me come onto
thee underwater, what did Peter do wrong? For the first
time he did something right. I'm teasing he said, bid
me to come in the water verse twenty nine. And
he said come, and Jesus said come. So maybe, just maybe,
the storm you're in is a storm that you ignited.
(34:07):
It is a storm that you called when you said, God,
draw me closer, God. I want to be used by you. God.
I want you to use me as a voice to
encourage and empower that activated the storm. And God is
still saying, be not afraid. I'm with you. He said come.
And when Peter came, and when Peter was come down
(34:30):
out of the ship, he walked on water to go
to Jesus. So as long as you have the faith
to ask God, he also has the strength to make
the impossible possible and turn the natural into the supernatural.
But there's a condition with that verse thirty. And when
(34:52):
he saw, be careful what you're seeing. When he saw
the wind voicrus, he was afraid and began to sink.
When you are walking with God, you cannot be distracted
(35:14):
by what you see, or what you hear, or the
winds you feel. You must remain focused. Your destiny and
the destiny of those connected to you are contingent upon it.
It depends on that your focus will determine whether someone
survives or dies in God. First thy I'll read again.
(35:37):
And when he saw the wind voicrus, he was afraid
and began to sink. He cried, saying, Lord, save me.
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught him,
and said, unto him, or dower of little fate, wherefore
(36:00):
did this do doubt? Again? The disciples never called out
for him, They never made a rope to save him.
They didn't say Jesus our brother is drunking. They were
just watching this scenario, and he said, oh, dou of
(36:20):
little faith, So Lord, we ask you to strengthen our
faith in our storms today. And she's a snake for
a study. Two. And when they came onto the ship,
the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship
came and worship him, saying of a truth, Thou art
(36:41):
the Son of God. And when they were gone over,
they came into the land of Genera. And when I
looked up the meaning of Jena, it means the garden
of the prince or garden of riches. God is about
to restore your peace in the storm. In my conclusion,
(37:08):
a storm, and immediately after these four points, I will
be coming into the comments and questions. A storm is
a prophetic glimpse of the purpose God created you for.
Number two, Jesus meets you in the storm and your
(37:34):
faith becomes transformed. Number three, God uses the storms of
life to come past your destiny, pivot you in a
direction you would not have chosen. You were not aware
(37:55):
you could even do, But He uses that to bring
you there exactly how He has be here today. Number four,
your fears are converted to forty five faith in God,
in Jesus that's not only unstoppable or unmovable, but unshakeable.
(38:26):
Praise the Lord. Thank you Jesus. I bless the Lord. Okay,
I see a lot of comments. Thank you Jesus. Glory
(38:48):
be to God.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus Us. Hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yes, Lord, so on fire for Jesus. We thank God
for the storms of life. One person wrote, I'm not
going to call the name for wisdom sake and timing sake.
(39:35):
Thank you Father for every storm you allowed me to
go through and giving me the strength and courage to overcome.
Hallelujah to the Most High God. Yes, we thank God
for the storms that he's bringing us through. Hallelujah. Glory
(39:57):
be to God. Thank you. She Father is speaking. Hallelujah.
We thank God that you recognize that the Lord is
ministering to you today in your storm. Hallelujah. Beautiful. I
(40:19):
love that question, Woman of God that prophetes send beyond,
I love it. It says a beautiful and blessed to you.
Apostle nicolaid, how do you manage to stay focus on
your call that Father God has called you to do?
(40:43):
You have no other choice. Someone said to me, I
don't know where he got it from. Profert David. He said,
when it comes to a store, you will either sink
(41:04):
in fear or swim in faith. I'll say that when
you're caught in a storm, Profet David said. Profet El
David said to me a couple of years ago, when
it comes to a storm, you would either sink in
fear or from fear, or swim in faith. The thing
(41:29):
is when you understand that you are not in the
storm alone, that Jesus is with you, you don't have
to worry about sinking or swimming because the spirit of
the Living God is going to come in and become
that wind for you as an ego to so, yeah, yeah,
(41:58):
you can survive this storm. Wow. Wow, the thing is Jesse,
(42:25):
imagine Jesus, Judith Jesse, imagine Peter was in such close
proximity to Jesus. Let's use the distance of here. This
is Jesus. This was Peter, and while he was watching him,
he was going straight, but a wind came between and
(42:48):
for that quick second took his attention or his ass
took his attention off of Jesus, and he began to sink.
So if Peter within close proximity had the ability to sink,
it's only natural. As humans, there would be challenges without
(43:08):
visual and not audible. When you're going through a storm,
unless the people in your life, your most welcome prophetess
and beyond to God be the glory. Unless the people
that are speaking into your storm are speaking the word
of God and the heart beat of God. Do not
(43:32):
expose your air to anyone. Don't expose your eyes to
anything that would discourage you. I remember going through many things,
but I remember going through a storm, and every time
I would try to heal without wearing a T shirt
that said I'm trying to heal, somebody would say something
(43:57):
to become like a like to pull me back cords
into the place of brokenness, and they wanted even awhere.
They said, oh, did you hear such and such? A
did you know such and such? So another way you
can avoid what you see is to even avoid those
are the enemies using to be the bearer of bad
news to take you in a place. When Jesus, when
(44:20):
Jesus was going up, I love it. When Jesus was ascended,
he said something so profound he says, my peace, I
leave with you that your joy will remain. Father, forgive me.
(44:41):
I hope I'm not saying something wrong. Imagine that God
fills a balloon of water, a small but a medium
sized balloon of water, and place it inside of you.
That's your joy. But every time something happens in life
(45:02):
that disturbs your peace, it's hitting the balloon, or based
on how bad the information or the storm is, it
turns from a hitting of the balloon to maybe a
pin that punctues the balloon, and the joy of the
(45:22):
Lord depletes. There's another scripture that says, the joy of
the Lord is your strength. You cannot allow show us.
A pregnant woman will not allow anyone to harm her baby.
No one walks around with all the money they have
in the bank on top of their head, or pined
(45:43):
on their clothes and walk in the street for people
to pull it, because we protect that which is valuable
to us. Likewise, your joy. When he ascended up, you
know his last thing he said on earth as he
was going up, because he knew there's enough things in
life that would challenge your peace. And the peace is
(46:06):
the gate to your house, which is joy and if
the enemy can disrupt your peace to the point where
again Jesus said that your joy will remain because if
it depletes, you need that to survive this race that
we're running in God, this race called life. Thank you, Jesus,
(46:32):
We thank you for your blood.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
God.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
Does God have a question. I'm loving the questions and
the comments. Does God rescue us from storms that the
devil sets up for us? Here's what the Word of
God says. And a nd all things work together for
(47:03):
good to them that love the Lord. And a card
according to his purpose, which means if God of yet,
the same God of yesterday today forever, that changes not
who had the ability to cause in the Old Testament,
and acts an all rusty, insignificant acts to float. Surely,
(47:31):
if he wants to pull us out or rescue us
out of a storm, he will. But if he chooses
to keep you in it, there's a bonus attached to it.
It's a bonus for you, it's a bonus for his glory.
And the bonus is a black eye to the enemy. Again,
(47:55):
if you knew the storm that the Lord put me through,
there were times if I can't be honest, and I
always will be I fear no one but God. That
I began to wonder, does God love me? You know
what that? Do you know what God had me carrying
(48:18):
in that storm? This you? He would he wouldn't say
to me when I was at my worst and my
most brokenness. He would say, you are the apple of
my eye. And he would say and tell them, And
I would say, God, tell who them? Prophetically he knew
(48:40):
this day, you, this moment, this show, this series would
be That's what that storm was about. Then I began
to you know, my human is and the scripture. I
would say, well, you know, the Lord never forsake the righteous,
so maybe I'm not righteous? Maybe the Lord that's all
those things I lie from the pit of her He
(49:01):
uses the storm to shields you from the unnecessary distractions.
People comes to air banquet. Nobody goes to a storm.
Think about it and what is found and forty five
in that storm is the voice of God and the
love of God. So yes, Prophet is sign beyond does
(49:28):
God rescue us from a storm that the devil put
us in? Maybe? But the witness I'm getting in my
spirit is that if God is allowing the storm, He's
going to meet you in it and give the enemy
a black eye from it. Next question, how do we
(49:55):
know the difference between a storm to avoid and those
that will strengthen us. That's a powerful question. I can't
wait to have you as a guess on this show.
(50:21):
There's nothing that's done on the earth that God doesn't
allow or deem to be. I think of you talk
about a storm being avoided. The thing is with a
storm that God has permitted, you'll never know until the
end when you get your reward, and then you know
(50:45):
that it was a God storm. Even though sometimes God
can be quiet in the storm where you feel He
has forgotten you or neglected you, those are lies. It's
not true. He's right there. He's right there in the
storm with you. But one thing you could know the
story of David had a friend Jonathan, and Jonathan had
(51:07):
a son named Mfiberschat and Ma Feberschat was in a
place called Lodibar, which means dry, uncultivated wilderness. Literally was
a land of impunishment, and nobody could survive. Not even
trees would grow in Lodibar. That's how patched Lodibar was.
(51:30):
And David had made a covenant with Jonathan, his friend
that was dear for him when he was going through.
Thank you Morred when he was going through. When Jonathan
was alive, and he said, you know, he did a
kinship covenant with him that wherever you go, we will
look after each other's children all the days of our life.
Per se. And Jonathan died. And then when David became king,
(51:53):
then tell somebody then, because even though you're in the storm,
there's coming at then, even though you're in a storm
where you going through, there is coming at then where
God will raise you up and God will do it
then in you and with them. And then King David said,
is there any one of the House of Saul or
(52:16):
Jonathan that he can be a blessing to? So even
though being in the storm seem quiet and you don't
hear God or feel God's voice, the fact that you
know He is with you, and the way that God
says either Lord, God will never leave you, or for
sake you, he never will. So because you are reassured
(52:37):
in that, you can know that God is with you,
he is grooming you, He's preserving you in it to
bring you through it. So because Jonathan, I'm sorry, Mafibershet
was in lordi Bar when King David called for him,
he was able to bring him. The scripture said, and
(52:57):
King David let him sit at the king's with his sons.
And we know the story that Mephibishet was crippled and
he ate with him as one of his sons all
the days of his life. Now, the custom was in
those days anyone who sat at the King's table would
be draped from their waists down with linen. So no
(53:20):
one at the table knew that Mfibershett, who was received,
who came from extreme rejection, abandonment, impurlishment, lack, poverty, the
scorn of life. This my fiber shed well yesterday. And
then he is now suddenly is at the King's table
(53:42):
and was able to talk, was able to interact, was valued.
So wherever your dishonor is, as you plug into Jesus,
he will to honor. Wherever they are shamed, God will
turn it for his glory. Wherever there is ridiculed, God
will turn it to restoration of others. And I'm not
telling you biblically. I'm telling you because God has allowed
(54:03):
me to live this. I'm telling you that God can
do anything except fail. So if you are in a
storm and God is allowing that storm, he is going
to bring you through it. And how do you get strength?
You draw closer to him. Hannah prayed aloud for years,
(54:29):
and God did not respond to her. When she cried
in her heart quietly, the scripture says, and her lips move,
but no words came out. Sometimes a storm will grip
you so hogh. They want to take your very breath away.
But what you do with that storm is you get
quiet before the Lord and let your petition in your
(54:53):
hearts be heard to God and not in the airs
of mankind. Karabakhusan di debosa, And then God will bring
you through the storm. Then God will activate his strength
through the storm. Thank you, Jesus, Cyndy, I greet you
(55:15):
in the wonderful name of Jesus. I give God praise
and tanks for you for all that is joining. Wow.
Last comment from the prophet is, make God, my father God,
continue his good work in and through you and others.
(55:36):
In Jesus' name. I receive, I receive, and I release
to you as well. You know. Wow, Mighty God, Mighty God,
be encouraged use your storm, like the eagles, wait for
(55:57):
the wind of it, and so in it. Jesus, after
his baptism, he entered immediately into the wilderness where he
was taken up the scriptures. And immediately he was taken
up into the wilderness fast at forty days and tempted
of the devil. And in that forty day, that one
(56:18):
forty day fast, when Jesus exited that fast, three years
he did miracles, signs, and wonder because what you do
in your storm will determine how far if you fly
or if you saw. The only way you can sow
(56:43):
after coming through a storm is getting connected and tapped
in to the presence, the will and the voice of God.
Sometime you come to a place where you say, God,
I just want to hear your voice. I don't want
to hear anything or anybody, just your God. And there's
(57:09):
nothing wrong with that. You get still before him, because
as you are being still, there's a wind of the
spirit of God that is taking up currency. It is
that currency is taken up currency. It is lifting you
out of these lordy bars. It is lifting you out
(57:31):
of these pain, out of these turmoils, out of it all,
and it's taking you from being a peasant and putting
you in a podium. But the secret to sowing is
the presence of God in the storm. Thank you Jasus hallelujah.
(58:10):
I want to thank you all so much. I want
to while I have a few minutes left, I want
to thank you all again for joining keep continuing to
look weekly. Of course, you know you can access by
going to Ssradio dot Live to see the weekly program.
It will be every Sunday from nine thirty to ten
(58:34):
thirty am. I want to specially acknowledge Miss Marlenny Cruz,
the CEO of so SOS Radio Live. I want to
thank the Lord for what he did today. I had
a situation as I was coming the tire in my
vehicle became deflated and a special angel by the name
(58:58):
of Blair Crest loan me her vehicle to drive to
the studio and just all the accommodations. I want to
also acknowledge missus Mary Anne Spirits and her family that
I love so much. I love you all. I want
to acknowledge doctor Danny, he knows who he is. I
(59:19):
want to tell God for doctor George, she knows who
she is. And all of you that God have used
in various aspects that has ever said even a single
word of encouragement. And for those of you that continue
to pray for me, I thank you. So as we're
ending the program, Father, I thank you God that you're
(59:41):
touching the lives of everyone that I've heard, God, that
will hear Lord, that you're ministering your strength and your
power to them. Father God, I thank you that you're
giving them the strength which is your voice, which is
your presence, which is your will God, for them to
recognize that or God that even as the caterpillar in
(01:00:02):
the cocoon, or God that is quiet being chiseled. God,
that they're coming into that quiet place in your presence
of God and recognizing God that you are the one
that created, allowing and giving them the exit from their storm. God,
and you're bringing them through greater for your glory in
(01:00:25):
Jesus' name. Amen. See you all next week. Love you,
be blessed, be encouraged. Remember as you go through your storm,
be still in the Lord. Love you, and remember you
are the apple of God's eyes.
