The Storms Of Life

~The Storms of Life~

Matthew 14:24-31
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. {boisterous: or, strong} And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

There are two types of Storms that we in the Body of Christ face. One is a Boisterous Storm, and the other is A Quite Storm. First Lets talk about the Boisterous Storm, it is Described as Strong meaning one feels pressure from the Outside in. When Peter step out of the Boat it activated a Storm that surrounded him and him only, he was tested in his members of weather he believed that he was able to walk on water as Jesus. As long as Peter stayed on the boat the Seas, his environment was safe. But as soon as he activated his faith to step out, be separated from the bunch, the attack began. We see him setting his eyes on Jesus and asking permission to come out from the ordinary into the extraordinary, to step out of the natural into the Supernatural. Notice that the men said;

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; the reason why they were troubled is they seen flesh walking on water they could not perceive the transformation of flesh to spirit through the activation of Faith. They seen Jesus as flesh they had experienced Him as Flesh and Blood, Son of Man but Jesus wanted them to see Him as Spirit, Son of God therefore, Jesus, in order to teach them "the how to" transform within a twinkling of an eye activating His Faith and stepping out of the boat to walk on the waters of the deep revelations. Peter seen this manifestation as an opportunity to separate from the normal to the extreme and said within himself, I want to do this also, I want to walk in the Deep things of God. How many of us have spoken these same words? Jesus plants the seed by allowing them to see Him do the impossible in the flesh but possible in the Spirit. Peter was the only ground on that boat that received it into himself. With his mustard seed faith he asked Jesus, "Master bid me come", and Jesus stood and replied "Come".

Once Peter stepped out of the boat, the transformation of being flesh pressed over into being spirit and the walk in the impossible became the possible. The Storm was activated and began to blow he felt the pressure from the outside in the conditions in his seasons changed to overtake him by presenting fear as a factor to his members in seeing with his natural eyes while walking with his spiritual eyes. We see the Boat being tossed, waves crashing against it the others in the boat screaming for help from fear of dyeing the Quite Storm. There faith was dead faith fear kept them hostage within the boat, bound by the what they trusted in (the boat) for protection instead of "Jesus". It is a false faith to put your trust in. This Storm is an outward pressure, it comes as a Rowing Lion, it gives off loud sounds of destruction in order to incapacitate the person who is attempting to step out. It manifests itself as being "Greater Than you", and shows you all the reasons why you cant. It troubles your waters, where you began to trouble its waters and your very members to know that you cant do this, its imposable to do. It paralyses you and keeps you looking at it until you began to sink and almost lose the blessings, the visions, one asks "Jesus", help me. We see Peter, being lifted in his faith and also rebuked by the Master for not trusting Him. This is the Boisterous Storm, it has a voice that is present and uses the elements of this Earth that surround us to present its case against us.

~The Quite Storm:~

I Samuel 16:13-23

Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him. Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul. And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer. And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight. And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

The Quite Storm troubles you from the inside out, it is when you are being tormented from within your members you want to get away from you, you cant stand your own self, you want to separate from you. It is a silent death, where you are not able to put into words what is happening to you nor can you ask for help to escape because you are a Leader in the Body of Christ and Leaders just don't have these problems they lead neither can you ask for help from another because this vessel has to be hand picked by God and sent to praise you out. Your mind is being bombarded by many things issues of this world and you are unable to process all of the thoughts at once, which give you the feeling of drowning and going crazy within your mind. You feel overwhelmed with pressure from within and it causes you to react in the flesh with rage towards others, you hear them say things like, "why are you so angry"? "Whets your problem"? "Why are you acting this way"? All very good questions however, you don't have the answers if you did you would come out from this Quite Storm and settle your flesh by commanding it to surrender to the Spirit of God in His Peace. We also find that when we are in this type of Storm we desire to be left alone, and the faintest sounds around us makes us feel like we want to screen, you are sensitive to any types of sounds around you, or strange touches to your body. Fear is a major factor again and its job is the same as with the Raging Storm to take you hostage and keep you from experiencing the stepping out in Faith.

The person becomes very picky about being with any person (s) at anytime you find that it is now hard for any to please you in helping you as they once did. You find yourself being happy and praising God one minute and the next your cursing and wanting to die, its like a yo-yo up and down. This Storm tears at your very being, it pulls your strongman down, takes the master of the house and ties him up it you find yourself held captive and it holds you in a private cell. You are placed on display for others to see you and mock you and cut you down. You can hear the voices from within and around you, there are other cells here just like the one you are in holding others captive, yet you can not speak to each other you can only hear the voices. These voices sounds just like you talking to you and the reason why is these are the voices of those in the Body with you and have been trained liken unto you to war the same as you. The sounds in this Quite Storm are very settle in attacking, it takes a period of time to fore fill its mission. Not like the Raging Storm where it just does it quickly, this one is more department to you very existence because it silent and only you can hear it although you surrounded by many who are present with you going thru the same Quite Storm.

This particular type of attack of the enemy is a close up and personal attack. It causes you to set the "Seasons" for others around you by your actions it produces a Storm with a Storm effect. Whereby, whatever you do while in this attack effects the whole Body of Christ in service as well as at home, saved or unsaved it does not matter the results are still the same they are victims to your attack and your not knowing how to get out. There is no peace in the Quite Storm until you understand that its is a Quite Storm and then discern the difference between the Raging Storm from the Quite Storm nobody else is feeling it but you and if they are, they don't know how to get out either.

In the Raging Storm we see that "Jesus" instructs us to speak;

~Peace be still~

Outwardly and the Storm will become at peace. But with the Quite Storm, one must first identify the source the feelings that are producing the tribulation from within and speak peace to ones self command your flesh to "shut up". Speak, "It is Written" Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: "It is Written" Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. "It is Written" Rom. 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. This is how Jesus defeated Satan in the desert, Mt 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. Mt 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Mt 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, Mt 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Mt 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. {tempt: or, try, or, put to trial, or, proof} Mt 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; Mt 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Mt 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. This is a battle in your mind and we must attack it with the Word as Jesus did we must also do. He was alone, separated by himself in the Quite Strom.

Turn on that praise and worship music, put that CD on play that Praise tape put it on, listen to the Winds of the Still soft voice, Put on the garment of Praise, dance your way out, dance a holy dance unto God, this takes movement on your part to break out of bondage from the pit. God sent David to Quite the Storm that was within Saul, thru David's anointing as he played Psalms Saul was rested from the attack in his mind. God always sends help when you are in this area, the thing is, will you accept who He sends or reject the sent condemning yourself to more torment? The choice is yours.

May His Blessing be upon you and your household
