Message: THE STORM IS OVER!
Ministering: Pastor Dr. Raf Otono
Bible Text: Mark 4:35-41 KJV
This is a MESSAGE OF HOPE & TRANSFORMATION SERVICE! I came here today for that brother, for that sister that is going through a STORM. I came anointed by God to tell anyone that believes that THE STORM IS OVER!
In John 6:63 – Jesus said the words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life” – that means words are spiritual and can transform your life. JUST BELIEVE!
Listen: The presence of a storm does not validate the absence of God! And the silence of God is not the absence of God! (Jesus was in the ship, yet there was a storm!) – GPS illustration
Hear me: Even when you can’t TRACE HIM in the storms of life, TRUST HIM!
Listen: If you know and understand WHEN & WHY storms come – you will survive and manage them well.
So, the question is: WHEN DO STORMS COME?
- In the evening of life and destiny – Mark 4:35 – (When you’re close to entering a new season)
- When you want to cross over to the other side, to greatness & fulfill prophecy
Listen: Every time you want to cross over to the other side – a storm will emerge. DO NOT FRET! It is a sign you’re on track! There was no storm until Jesus said let us go to the other side! WHY?
Hear me: IN EVERY STORM, THERE IS A HIDDEN STOCK (GOODS) TO COLLECT
I PROPHESY AS AN APOSTLE OF LIGHT – EVERY EVIL STORM STOPING YOU FROM GETTING YOUR BLESSINGS – THEY ARE OVER X2
The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall, I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for God is with me
And if God be for me, who can be against me?
He is the same yesterday; He is the same today, He is the same forever
He said let there be light and there was light
He wraps Himself in light as of with a garment
He shineth in darkness and darkness couldn’t comprehend
He is my light! My salvation! My law giver! My way maker! My refuge! My fortress! My Strong tower! My Helper! In Him I live, I move and have my being
SOMEBODY HOLLA – THE STORM IS OVER!
WHY DO STORM COME?
- Storms come to create fear – Mark 4:40 – they come to attack your faith in God!
Listen: Those that do not fear the storms of life will storm into their destiny!
Fear is an insult to God! Fear fear those that do not fear fear! God has not given us the spirit of fear!
In the midst of the storm, Jesus was sleeping! Why? He knew how it was going to end, He knew it won’t kill Him because He’s destined to die on the cross! (Watching a movie illustration)
- They come to make you forget who you are and the promises of God – Isa 43:2 NKJV
- Storms come, so you forget who God is and how powerful He is – Mark 4:38
They suddenly forgot who Jesus was and all the miracles He did in Mark 3:1-11 before they entered the ship. Just like the children of Israel forgot all the acts and mighty power of God that delivered them in Egypt from the hands of Pharaoh because they faced a storm – Ex 14:10-12
- Storms come so that you can forget how much God loves you, they are distractions – Isa 49:15-16 NLT
- Storms come to make you forget the word of God – Mark 4:35 (Let us cross over to the other side)
They suddenly forgot that God cannot lie – Heb 6:17-18 NKJV (Baba Adeboye inside the aircraft)
REPEAT THIS LOUDLY AFTER ME:
I KNOW WHO I AM & WHOSE I AM
I KNOW WHO GOD IS & REFUSE TO FEAR
I KNOW GOD LOVES ME
AND BECAUSE HE LOVES ME
THE STORMS OF MY LIFE ARE OVER!
RISE ON YOUR FEET!
PRAYER:
Every storm stopping me from entering my new season and promotion, your time is up in the name of Jesus!
Every storm stopping me from crossing over to my greatness and influence, in the name of Jesus be terminated now!
