SUNDAY 27 GOD IS MY SHELTER IN THE RAGING STORMS! “For You have been a stronghold for the helpless, a stronghold for the poor in his distress, a shelter from the storm, a shade from the heat; for the breath of tyrants is like a rainstorm against a wall.” 5 Like heat in a dry land, You will subdue the noise of foreigners [rejoicing over their enemies]; like heat in the shadow of a cloud, the song of the tyrants is silenced.”
Isaiah 25 Vs 4-5 (AMP)
MONDAY 28 THERE WILL BE SUDDEN STORMS IN LIFE, BUT WHEN THEY COME, BE NOT AFRAID—THE
MASTER IS STILL IN THE BOAT OF YOUR STORMS! “Then Jesus got into the boat and started
across the lake with his disciples. 24 Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves
breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him up,
shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” 26 Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm. 27 The disciples were amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked. “Even the winds and waves obey him!”

SATURDAY 3 THERE IS ALWAYS A SOURCE THAT LEADS TO THE PROBLEM! GOD WANTS US TO EXERCISE THE AUTHORITY HE HAS GIVEN US AND REBUKE WINDS THAT CAUSE THE STORMS IN OUR LIVES! “And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves Beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38 And he was in the hinder part of The ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 And he said unto them, why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?”
