Storms on every Side

I was meditating on many words - for both blessing and destruction coming upon the land.

I said, "Lord, You are warning of storms on every side"

He said: "Yes, My child, some are judgments (results) as in 'The wages of sin is death" - I am not sitting on my Throne looking down on people sinning and sending death to them! I warned them that the judgment or result of sin is death, both physical and spiritual.. They ignored My warning and the result is in process. I AM allowing it to occur at this time. My hand has been lifted so that some will see and turn. Others will only curse and continue. But in the midst of this, you are experiencing attacks from the evil one so that many are confused and thinking that his attacks are my judgment. You need not worry which are attacks and which are results - they both originate from sin. You fend off both with the same armor of LIGHT (the understanding, or revelation, or rhema) of My Word - and spoken as a command out of your mouth!

For I have said that I will cause you to walk upon the high places. I have ordained that My people walk above the judgments and above the attacks, and I have provided the way of escape, but each must be 'doers' of way of escape and not just 'hearers'. "
