Learning to Ride Out the Storms (12.13.20)

My Child,
As a ship is tossed about in the ocean, some of you, too often feel tossed about by your circumstances. However, what too many of you fail to realize is this: these same waves contain the power to take the boat to its destination. Those strong, powerful winds will catch the sails and transport the vessel through the rough waters; and although it may not be comfortable, it will reach its destination. 

 

Some of you complain about the strong winds blowing and the discomfort they bring; however, these same winds hold the power to push you to your destination. Some of you are so focused on the discomfort, that you are not harnessing the power - My Mighty Power - of these situations. Instead of fighting against the storms and challenges, embrace them, and learn to ride the waves.

Learn to ride the waves and the situations that challenge you. If you learn how to use the challenging circumstances in your life, then you will surely rise above them. Then, once you do this, many of you will look up and see that I Am - and always have been - The One at the helm of your ship. I Am The One steering you. And yes, I Will - at times - steer you into the wind; so that My Sails can catch the wind; and take you where I Need you to be. 

Therefore, My Child, stop struggling.  Stop fighting.  And learn to yield to what I Am doing in your life. Learn to STAND in My Mighty Name and face these situations.  Be confident in the knowing that Your Captain Is in control of the ship. Learn to rise above fear, and use your faith - the faith I Gave you, the faith you know how to exercise - in these circumstances.

Instead of avoiding the storms,
     embrace the winds,
     STAND tall in the midst of them,
     STAND on My Word,
     while the storm rages around you,
     but not in you, not on you;
     and sail through to your destination.

And when you get to your place of victory, you will see that you are much, much stronger than when you first started on this faith journey with Me.

You will see that your circumstances pushed you
     beyond what you could have ever imagined.
You will see that only I, the Lord your God,
     could have done this thing in your life.
     And brought you through.

Therefore, I Say to you, my precious, beautiful, brilliant Child - learn to ride the storm, embrace the strong winds blowing in your life, and sail on to Victory with Me.

 

 

Read and Meditate on God's Word

Matthew 8:24-27 - And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! 

Acts 27:30-31 - And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship, Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. 

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 - For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
