Luke 10:19 ‘Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.’

DAILY READING; • 1 Corinthians 7:25-40; 1 Kings 21; Amos 5

In 2019, prayers from believers in Florida stopped Hurricane Dorian from coming onshore. The monster Category 5+ storm of Hurricane Dorian was originally forecast to hit Florida because the city was directly in its path as it approached. Meteorologists had announced that they were pretty sure the major storm would hit Florida around Labor Day. However it didn’t happen because believers took authority over the storm.

Christians had gathered at the Jacksonville Beach Pier and prayed to keep the storm away. They stood in a circle and prayed and sang praises to God. They declared God as the Lord over the wind and the waves and the storm. Also the rabbis in Florida were praying as well. At this time the Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, who was visiting Israel had gone to the Western wall and prayed to God to deliver Florida. And God did answer their prayers.

Miraculously Hurricane Dorian stopped dead in its tracks, as the steering winds ceased. This was unusual because hurricanes typically don’t suddenly completely come to a stop. The storm then turned, took a hard right turn and started going north and spared Florida from a direct hit. It was just as if a wall had been erected against the storm that caused it to turn and stay off of the coast of Florida until it was gone away from them. As the hurricane watch was called off, believers praised God for this miraculous answer to prayers.

God has given us the power as believers to rise up and stop any storm that comes against us. In Mark chapter 4 when Jesus and His disciples were in a boat crossing the Sea of Galilee, a great and fierce storm suddenly hit them. The windstorm was so great that the waves were beating the boat and breaking over it filling it with water. And the disciples became fearful and thought they would perish.

This seems like what is happening now globally. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, an unexpected storm of pandemic has come that is suddenly changing structures and halting systems and filling many hearts with fear.

However, during the storm in Mark 4, while the disciples were afraid, Jesus was asleep! And as the disciples called on the Lord to save them, He simply got up and rebuked the wind and the waves saying, “Peace be still.” And the winds and waves were calmed. This is an amazing picture of the power Jesus has over the elements. And he has given us this same power today.

In Luke 10:19 Jesus says ‘Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.’

We have been given power through Christ to overcome every demonic storm . Every child of God can exercise spiritual authority to stop plagues from accessing their environment. The Holy Spirit is able to raise a standard against every flood sent by the enemy. In Revelation 12;16, when the enemy sent a flood to swallow up the man child representing the Church, the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the water.

Indeed God is able to protect His people and defend His Church. Therefore as He has given us power and authority, let us begin to use it. Do not keep quiet and watch events unfold, draw a spiritual boundary and tell the plague ‘thus far and no more!’ And what you say, is what you will see. Remember, you have nothing to fear when Jesus is in your boat!

PRAYER Lord, I know that You are able to deliver me from every storm of these end-times. Thank You Lord for the divine protection I have in Christ Jesus, indeed no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper in Jesus’ name.
