Let Storms Passover You

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
