Storm Issues

There was a time in my life to where I had fear of storms. I would not sleep in my bed, if I know that there was a storm going on. I would seem to sense a storm when they were there. I would wake up in the middle of the night in fear.


This was at the other place where we lived. My bed was by a very big picture window. I use to be afraid that the window would break or something. When there was lighting, the flash would light up my whole room. That would woke me up, if the thundering didn't.


Then through this storm issue came another issue in my life. For about 2 1/2 the months of May, June and parts of July of 2005, I had another issue in my life that was going on. I thought that it would never end. I was worried about it.

There was a time in the early morning hours, I was laying in my bed. The storm woke me up. I was thinking to myself about my other issue. It does not matter. The issue that I had at that time seemed to be worst than the fear that I had about storms. So I just laid in bed.


For some reason, I did not worry about the storm or what would happen to me. I face that fear as I laid in my bed. If I would die, I would die. I had a fear if I would be struck by lighting. Any way the other issue made me think that I was in a dying situation. Either way I would have been with the LORD.

With both of this issues going on that the same time, I felt something was leaving me. What left was the fear of the storms. Thank You Jesus! I did conquer both of those issues. I did overcame the fear of storms. I began to sleep in my bed without no problems.

In our new place, I can sleep through the storms. My bed is away from my window. There have been a lot of times when I didn't know that we had a storm. What joy I have that I can sleep through loud thundering and flashing lighting.
But in emergencies may the Lord woke me up. Some times I am awaken at nights. There are "storms" going on in the spirit as well as in the the natural. In either storm may I hear the alert to awake from my sleep.

Storm Issues in life seem to cloud up and bring fear into our days, but we don't have to let them. Yes, I have other fears that I need to conquer. May I and other have the courage to overcome our weakness in life as we are going through to get to the other side of them.

I will leave you with this thought that has been with me since 1994. It was in my weakest times in life and during my weaknesses in fear, that I believe by knowing that God is with me. That's how I receive this revelation...Maybe you can relate to this....

The STRONGEST POINT in your life is
when you know, that you know.
