"Man it sure looks Stormy"

Jeremiah
23:19
“Look
the
Lord’s
anger
burst
out like
a storm,
a whirl
wind
that
swarms
down on
the
heads of
the
wicked!
The
biggest
burden I
carry in
being a
husband
and
father
of 3
school
age kids
at a
time
when it
seems
the
world is
going
mad, is
how to
prepare
my
family
for what
I see
happening!
How to
steel
the mind
of my
kids
without
stealing
their
joy? If
I'm
being
honest I
ask that
same
question
in child
like
faith to
My
Heavenly
Father.
Dear
Father,
it's
getting
really
dark and
stormy
outside?
Living
in or
near
Tornado
Alley
one of
the
routines
during
stormy
nights
that I
feel so
blessed
by is to
see all
my kids
run to
me for
assurance
that we
are
going to
be
alright.."right
dad?"
It
usually
goes
down
something
like
this.
The day
starts
out with
its
normal
routines
but you
go about
your
business
with one
eye to
the sky
because
the
weather
stations
from our
area
have
told us
that
today's
weather
pattern
and
conditions
are ripe
for
"stormy
conditions."
So with
that in
the back
of your
mind you
go
through
your
day, as
day
pushes
towards
the
evening,
you
become
more and
more
aware of
the dark
clouds
forming
off to
the
southwest.
One by
one,
from my
wife
calling
on her
cell
phone on
her
drive
home for
work "is
it
storming
yet?" to
each kid
taking
notice
and the
questions
will pop
up.."Is
it going
to be a
bad
storm?"
"Ya
think
it'll
miss
us?"
My job
that I
take
seriously
as a dad
is to be
full of
faith,
pointing
to
scripture
and
remind
them of
the
Shelter
we have
in God
and the
storm
shelter
in our
home!
Then it
happens,
an
annoying
sound(s)
go off,
the
weatherman
interrupts
BREAKING
WEATHER
ALERT "A
Tornado
Warning
has been
issued
for
parts of
southern
Lawrence
County"
Your
heart
races,
"Kids,
hurry
up"
"what "
The
anxiety
rises in
their
minds
"Is it
going to
hit us?"
We all
hurry
along
down
into our
storm
shelter
..so
thankful
we are
in a
safe
place
but very
unsettled,
listening
to the
wind and
cracking
thunder,
you sit
in an
uncomfortable
position,
enduring
this
dark and
stormy
moment
in time
..Our
kids
clinging
to us
parents
with
their
eyes
glued to
our
countenance
looking
for and
hoping
for the
calm and
assurance
that
everything
is going
to be
just
fine.
Then
finally
the
storm
passes......
On New
Year’s
Eve I
sat down
my 3
kids
along
with my
wife
using
this
very
scenario
as I
shared a
devotion
of
preparation
for
2013.
I asked
all 3
kids
"what do
you
think
when you
see
super
duper
dark
clouds
to the
southwest?
And hear
the wind
begin to
howl?
And see
the
lightning?
And hear
the
thunder?
"Is it
going to
tornado?
Do we
need to
go to
the
shelter?"
And on
on those
night
kids if
you turn
on the
TV and
flip
channels
what do
you see
n hear?
Weathermen
on EVERY
channel
describing
and
warning!!
Well
kids as
your
Father/Shepherd
I'm
telling
you that
according
to the
bible
2013 is
a year
to "take
shelter"
and as a
family
we need
to be
closer
to our
Heavenly
Father
than
ever
cause He
has
written
us a
letter
warning
us that
when we
see the
nations
unite to
divide
Israel
to not
be
scared
but
prepared!!
GREAT
TRAVAIL
I have a
friend and
He studied
Meteorology/Storm
Chasing at
the
University
of Oklahoma.
I remember
one
particular
day we were
hanging out
and that
particular
day was ripe
for a "Big
one" and he
was so
alert, we
were sitting
"watch"then,
suddenly ...
while we
were talking
his
countenance
changed and
He got all
serious and
said
..."LOOK,
LOOK" and I
was like
"WHAT??"
..."what do
you see,
that I
don't?" I
mean it did
look stormy
...but he
saw
something in
the clouds
that he
recognized
that caused
his demeanor
and voice to
grow much
more
urgent...."He
saw the Wall
Cloud and
it's
circulation..and
then it
happened....a
Tornado
dropped from
the sky" He
picked up a
phone and
reported it
to a local
weather
station and
then called
friends in
the path...
URGENTLY.
Why am I
so
confident
that
2013 is
going to
be a
year of
“Greater”
Travail?
Just as
when
it’s a
stormy
night
and you
turn on
the TV
and ALL
of your
local
weatherman
on duty
are
warning
of the
storm at
hand so
is it
that
many
Watchman
are even
now
doing
that
very
thing!
WHY? Not
because
of some
feeling,
but
because
of God’s
Word.
Joel 3
speaks
of a
time
that God
will
cause
the
nations
of the
world to
come
under
His
Judgment
because
they
have
divided
HIS
LAND. We
see
those
very
clouds
forming
now as
talk of
a plan
to
divide
Israel
is even
in the
works.
It makes
you want
to
scream
“DO NOT
DO
THAT!”
But
God’s
word
says it
is going
to
happen,
so we
must
warn
those
who will
hear to
be
prepared
for what
is
coming
in
response!
On May 19,
of 2011
President
Obama
addressed
the issue
and declared
his desire
to see
Israel
concede land
back to
“1967
borders” In
light of the
recent UN
resolution
to recognize
Palestine’s
right to
state hood
the big push
will be for
them to have
their “own
land” and of
course if
you pay
attention it
will be
nothing less
than Israel
and
specifically
Jerusalem
that they
will demand.
Post US
Elections,
President
Obama is
emboldened
to see this
issue
resolved and
undoubtedly
will begin
to make this
his center
of
attention.
Its obvious
from Joel 3
that God
does NOT
take this
lightly.
Whether
during this
age or
dispensation
God sends or
God allows
Hurricanes,
Earthquakes,
Tsunami’s or
disasters of
the like. I
will not
debate, but
this I will
warn; Be
prepared to
witness
greater
travail in
this coming
year than
what you
have seen in
the past
because of
mans evil
plan to
divide God’s
land!
I’m telling
you “it sure
looks
stormy”
Darkness
and even
gross
darkness
is
covering
this
earth at
such an
alarming
rate.
People
are on
edge
everywhere
and the
recent
increase
in sales
of
weapons
and
ammunitions
speaks
to man’s
innate
desire
to seek
to save
their
own
life!
And yet
there
are
those
who are
hell
bent on
taking
those
weapons
and
using
them to
steal,
kill and
destroy.
Even to
the
point of
killing
elementary
kids
like
sitting
ducks.
It is
hear
that I’d
like to
take a
moment
and
speak to
this
very
thing!
Hebrews
11:7
By
faith
Noah,
being
divinely
warned
of
things
not yet
seen,
moved
with
godly
fear,
prepared
an ark
for the
saving
of his
household,
by which
he
condemned
the
world
and
became
heir of
the
righteousness
which is
according
to
faith.
BEING
DIVINELY
WARNED
Sometimes
we do
NOT want
to
really
“stop n
think”
but that
is
exactly
what I’m
about to
ask
every
one who
is
reading
this
message.
I want
us to
take a
moment
and stop
and
think of
“what
if” What
if the
weathermen
on duty
just
prior to
the
Joplin
Tornado
of 2011
could
have
known of
the
devastation
they
were
warning
about? I
mean if
those
weathermen
could
have
known
that
when
they
were
looking
at their
maps and
computer
models,
if they
knew
BEFORE
that
hundreds
of souls
would be
lost and
could
have
known
how
truly
big the
storm
was that
they
were
warning
of
...what
impact
would
that
have
made on
their
urgency
in their
warning?
Knowing
they
were
looking
at
something
on a map
that
would be
one of
the
deadliest
tornados
on
record,
IF they
would
have
known as
one
Doctor
reported
of
hearing
someone
sucked
out of
the
Joplin
hospital
“wailing
and
screaming”
for
“HELP”
of what
impact
would
that or
should
that of
had upon
the
weathermen?
I
remember
watching
one of
the most
renowned
Storm
Chasers
working
that
storm
arriving
upon the
scene
after
the fact
and
breaking
down in
tears
wishing
he could
have
warned
the
people!!
It
showed
him
arriving
into the
Joplin
area
about
the same
time as
the
tornado
and
screaming
at
police
officers
to SOUND
THE
SIRENS..PLEASE
SOUND
THE
SIRENS!!!
But it
was too
late.......
By
Faith,
we can
all open
up The
Word of
God and
read,
being
divinely
warned
that
there is
coming
an hour
that is
going to
be so
devastating
to the
lives
around
us that
will
render
the
Joplin
tornado
a
distant
memory,
that
will be
so
violent
that
Newtown
Connecticut
will
seem
like an
act of
mercy to
those
who are
still
here. In
fact the
Bible
says it
will be
so evil
and
wicked
that
“unless
God
shortens
the days
no flesh
will
survive”
Psalms 9
says
that
“the
nations
that
forget
God
shall be
turned
into
Hell”
Jesus
said the
reason
it is so
dark
outside
is that
“they
love the
darkness
but hate
the
light
because
their
deeds
are
evil”
Because
of this
very
thing
there is
a major
cry to
tell GOD
to “get
out” or
in other
turns
please
“turn
off the
light”
and that
is
exactly
what is
about to
happen,
God is
going to
call out
of this
earth
all
those
who are
His and
let man
reap
what
they
have
sown in
a time
of such
Great
Travail
that as
shocking
as this
may
sound it
will
even
make the
Holocaust
pale in
comparison.
And You
and I
have
been
divinely
warned
of this
very
thing!
We are
the
weathermen
before
the
storm
who
should
realize
what
will be
happening
and
being
“moved
with
godly
fear”
prepare
an ark
for the
saving
of the
household!
Please
stop and
think of
the for
warned
time at
hand
that
says
there is
coming a
real
moment
when
“people
will
seek
death
and find
it not”
people
we
know!!!!!
Our lost
friends
and
neighbors
and
co-workers
will be
wishing
they had
heard,
wishing
they had
listened
and will
be
dealing
with a
time of
such
wrath
and
despair
that
they
will be
suicidal
but
can’t
die!
We don’t
believe
this!
Not
really.
The
Bible
says it
but we
don’t
believe
it or
prayer
meetings
of
groans
and
wails
would be
popping
up
everywhere,
pleading
with God
for
boldness,
asking
God for
forgiveness,
asking
God for
Mercy!!
We would
be so
broken
in our
gatherings
that
Preachers
shouldn’t
even be
able to
stand up
and
minister.
I say
“shame
on us”
SHAME ON
ME! I
pray
even now
..in
this
time
that God
in His
Mercy
tarries,
that He
will
pour out
His
Spirit
upon Us
and
BREAK US
for the
time at
hand.
That we
WILL be
divinely
warned
and
sincerely
be moved
with
compassion
and
Godly
fear and
fall our
faces in
greater
prayer
and
travail
than the
Church
has ever
seen and
it will
produce
the
greatest
urgency
and
boldness
to share
the
Gospel
unlike
the
world
has ever
seen
....because
“Man it
sure is
looking
Stormy”
Heavenly
Father,
please
please
please
pour out
a Spirit
of
Prayer,
Repentance
and
Intercession
upon all
who are
alive
and
remain.
Romans
13:11
This is
all the
more
urgent,
for you
know how
late it
is; time
is
running
out.
Wake up,
for our
salvation
is
nearer
now than
when we
first
believed.
If you
have
read
this
message
and you
are
asking
“what
must I
do to be
saved
from the
time I’m
warning
about?”
Realize
that you
are
alive
because
you were
created.
That
Your
Creator
gave You
life and
His Laws
to Live
by, but
You have
broken
His laws
and
right
now
stand
before
Your
Creator
GUILTY
as a
“law
breaker”
and
deserve
to die,
and
dying
you
are...with
each
beat of
your
heart
you are
dying
but God
in His
Goodness
and
Mercy
didn’t
make You
to do
so.
He
wants
You to
live
eternally
and
because
of this
very
fact,
just
over
2,000
years
ago He
sent His
Only
begotten
Son,
Jesus
Christ
to “take
your
place”
and
because
of You
and For
You, He
willingly
allowed
mankind
to
Crucify
Him on a
Cross
for Your
Sins and
My Sins
and then
promised
to prove
that He
is God
would
rise
from the
grave
and 3
days
later He
did that
very
thing
and
today an
empty
tomb
shout to
the
whole
world He
is
alive! in Order
for You
to be
Saved
from the
Wrath to
Come.
Romans
10:
9
that if
you
confess
with
your
mouth
the Lord
Jesus
and
believe
in your
heart
that God
has
raised
Him from
the
dead,
you will
be
saved.
10
For with
the
heart
one
believes
unto
righteousness,
and with
the
mouth
confession
is made
unto
salvation.
13
For
“whoever
calls on
the name
of the
Lord
shall be
saved.”
In
Christ,
