In this short note, allow me to share a Praise Report with you of what the Lord recently did for my family and me.
If you had heard the national weather report for this past week, you would have noticed that there was a "Monster" hurricane by the name of "Patricia" headed toward Texas. Actually, there were two storm systems coming our way - one from the Gulf Coast and the other ("Patricia") from Mexico. This hurricane was a category 5, but the forecasters were also saying that it was the strongest system ever to be in the history of mankind. Imagine that!
On Thursday night, when the torrential rains began, water started coming into our living room (at the foundation and through the windows) - while at the same time, our backyard was a pool of water.
Seemingly, we were surrounded by "destruction," and the torrential rains kept coming.
Using a shop vac, my husband Carl was up throughout the night vacuuming any water coming in.
On Friday morning, the weather forecasters were predicting - "The WORST is yet to come." They were saying that the rains would continue until Sunday - bringing great flooding to our area.
Since we were already having problems, we knew that we needed a MIRACLE from God. This was beyond us - bigger than us!
As we went into intense intercession on Friday morning, the Lord brought to my remembrance Mark 11:23 which says - "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."
He then told me to do the same with this storm called - "Patricia."
No sooner did I "say unto this storm - be removed, and be cast into the sea" - when the SUN immediately broke out. The rains actually stopped for several hours. Hallelujah!
When I saw the SUN shining so brightly - pushing away those dark clouds - the words came to me - "Light has overcome the Darkness!" Praise God! Glory to God!
After several hours of respite, the rain started up again and lasted until Sunday. But it was only a "soft" rain. No more water came into our home. And the backyard - which was a "pool" of water - threatening to come into our kitchen - never did "swell" - and was TOTALLY gone on Sunday morning - despite the continual rain of the past days.
This was nothing short of a MIRACLE!
The amazing thing about it all is that I was prepared to do my Live Broadcast on Friday. I was going to bring forth a message dealing with JESUS as King.
Little did I know that I was missing an important point in my message - a point that never crossed my mind until this morning.
I believe that I experienced what I did in order to bring me to the "missing" point - based on Psalm 29:10 which says - "The LORD sitteth upon the FLOOD; yea, the LORD sitteth KING for ever."
I can honestly say that my family and I have experienced firsthand what this verse is talking about. We saw with our own eyes that JESUS indeed - "sitteth upon the FLOOD; yea, the LORD sitteth KING for ever."
He has the final word!
No matter what man is saying or predicting, JESUS as King can change it! He overrules!
Why? Because He is "KING"!
"And where the word of a King is, there is power!" (Ecclesiastes 8:4)
You don't want to miss my next podcast (planned, Lord willing, for Tuesday - October 27).
I pray that this testimony brings great glory to JESUS and builds your faith to believe beyond what man says or predicts for your future!
Have a Glorious Week in Jesus,
Connie
