Let Storms Passover You
Doug Addison      
October 28, 2012
I posted a prophetic word a while back about the power of standing against coming storms both literal and in the form of difficult times.  Just last week I had a prophetic dream of a terrible tornado coming towards my house. I decided not to try to outrun it or hide, and I stood in the dream and the storm took different route and missed my house completely. I shared this concept of praying that bad things “passover” us and a friend of mine prayed and his house was one of the few left standing in some of the storms of last year. This is a time to stand and watch God move.

The power of a “Spiritual Passover”
Passover is a Jewish festival that reminds us of God’s greatness when He gave
instructions to the Israelites in Egypt that would cause the spirit of death
to “pass over” their houses (Exodus 11–12).

The spiritual aspect of “Passover” is still available to us today. When
judgment or tragedy comes in any form- whether economic, spiritual,
environmental, or whatever- God will most often let His people know how to
avoid it or at least how to suffer minimal damage. In some cases God will even show His people how to profit during a downturn (Genesis 41). The key is to listen to God’s voice as He speaks to us and follow the instructions that He gives.

I prophesied over a businessman from South Africa that some type of disaster
would come to his area but it would result in God blessing his business
four-times. He listened to God and bought a stockpile of raw material. When
the economic disaster hit and prices went up, he was able to sell his products
and make a million dollars in eight months (exactly four times the amount he
invested).

My dream of a bad storm
I had a dream earlier this year that a fierce storm (maybe the worst ever) was
coming. It appeared that we were going to suffer great losses and maybe even die. Everyone was panicking and running to take cover. Faith rose up in me and I felt an anointing from God to stand and watch this storm. I saw a consuming fire in the storm and, just as it approached my house, it passed over and immediately it was a bright sunny day with a rainbow in the sky. I was amazed that there was no damage at all to my property or my loved ones.

I awoke from the dream realizing that we need to stand in the midst of the
storms coming against us personally and as a nation. God will give us
instructions on what to do and when to do it. The key is to remain at peace
and do not be afraid.

No matter what comes at you remember to stand and ask God for a strategy!  Be at peace

Resources, Provision, Solutions

God has resources we know nothing about,

solutions outside our reality,

provisions  outside our possibility.

We see problems; God sees provision.     Quote by Max Lucado

Isaiah 30:19 “Oh yes, people of God your time of tears is over. Cry for help and you'll find it's grace and more grace. The moment God hears, he'll answer.”

Joy

Georgian and Winnie Banov have been labelled with the title "Apostles of Joy".
Here is the reason why. They write:

Joy comes from a deep and intimate, all-sustaining love relationship with Jesus. He is the one who was "anointed with the oil of gladness" and He is the one who makes our hearts glad. The joy of the Lord is an actual substance; it's the core strength that sustains & enables us to supernaturally endure hardships. In His presence there is fullness of joy. As we are ruled by & so possessed by the love of Christ, no matter what happens, joy always spills over.

Sickness is not the will of God.

I cannot base my view of healing on my experience (or lack of experience) but on what God says in His word. My experience will be conformed to that Word if I put my faith in the Lord of that Word. Jesus healed all who came to him for healing. Bob Lipsys, Australia.

More than enough Grace

"God has enough grace to solve every dilemma you face, wipe every tear you cry, and answer every question you ask.......You have God’s  Spirit within you. Heavenly hosts above you. Jesus Christ interceding for you. You have God’s sufficient  grace to sustain you." by Max Lucado.

Covenant of Blessing

Orpheus Island last year. Gorgeous sunset! :)"

Grace

Lord, I crawled across the barrenness to you with my empty cup. . . . If only I had known you better, I’d have come running with a bucket.

—by Nancy SpieGelberg

Behold the fruit of grace: saved by God, raised by God, seated with God. Gifted, equipped, and commissioned. Farewell, earthly condemnations: Stupid. Unproductive. Slow learner. Fast talker. Quitter. Cheapskate. No longer. You are who he says you are: Spiritually alive. Heavenly positioned. Connected to God. A billboard of mercy. An honored child. This is the “aggressive forgiveness we call grace” (Rom. 5:20 MSG).

The Holy Spirit Search Engine

According to First Corinthians, one of the Holy Spirit’s main job descriptions is to search out the deep things of God (His mysteries) and make them known to the redeemed. As we engage the Holy Spirit through praying in the Spirit, we are actually being filled with the things that are burning on His heart. We have been given the Holy Spirit so that God might take us on a guided tour of Himself. The Holy Spirit is the search engine—the Spirit that searches all things, even the deep things of God—and we have received Him so that we might know the things that have been freely given us by God.

Quote by Corey Russell see Corinthians 2:10b-12

Create a highway of blessing.

This word by Kris Vallotton will break chains and set people free. KVMinistries.com

Many people live with a foreboding spirit. (Foreboding means an impending sense of doom). This spirit makes you feel like something is always about to go wrong. Even on a good day you feel like a bad day is coming. The apostle Paul talks about this spirit in 2Cor. 10:4 The weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.5 We are destroying speculations... Speculations are the "what ifs" caused by this spirit. What if your husband leaves? What if your children get kidnaped, raped or molested? What if you can't pay your rent? What if the doctor says you have cancer? When this spirit is working in you the "what ifs" are NEVER positive. You never think...what if my wife is an hour late getting home because her boss pulled her in the office to give her a big raise! NO WAY! Paul tell us that we have mighty weapons against this spirit. But first we must reject this spirit by understanding the source of these thoughts...this is a foreboding spirit and it is not our own thoughts! Tell that spirit to go to hell! The truth is something is about to go right (Romans 8:28)! Believe it and create a highway of blessing.

Be healed in Jesus' Name

Matthew 4:23-24 (NLT)

Jesus traveled throughout the region of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. News about him spread as far as Syria, and people soon began bringing to him all who were sick. And whatever their sickness or disease, or if they were demon-possessed or epileptic or paralyzed—he healed them all.

1 Peter 2:24-25 (NLT)

He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.

Where the Holy Spirit flows life explodes

Ezekiel 47:9 There will be swarms of living things wherever the water of this river flows. Fish will abound in the Dead Sea, for its waters will become fresh. Life will flourish wherever this water flows.
