                  Know That I Will Calm The Storm

There is a storm that has begun to shake and sift God's people.  But if 
these tired souls will cry out, such as never before, the Lord will 
bring the victory.  It is a place that will cause growth the maturity, 
it is a place that as the world falls apart, God's people will be key 
instruments, to bring an undying faith, to many wrecked souls.
But unfortunately, many of God's people will find it a strain, to  reach
beyond the struggle they are encountering at the present time.   The
Lord says...

"Know that I am going to fight the battle for you. For you know that I
will calm the storm.  You will not become shipped wrecked, because I calm 
the storm.  Look ahead into your most Holy Faith. For it is a harbor of 
rest and a place of comfort and joy.  It is a place of break through. 
For I will break through the storm.  I go before you, making a way where 
there seems to be none.

Look Look! My bright clouds of glory surround you.  They brighten your 
path, they surround you and engulf My beautiful bride. My bright clouds
of glory rain upon you -- rain from heaven.  Look up, open your mouth wide
and receive refreshment.  You have been tired, but now you will be 
refreshed, and made new. O come taste and see that the Lord is good! I 
will revive you and sustain you, My beautiful bride. 

And the lost and hurt people, the unbelieving will see My sustaining
power in you.  They will see a supernatural power of joy and peace and
love that abides in My bride!  Many will be converted, transformed and 
changed. Many will become as the five wise virgins -- their lamps will 
be full.  And they too will be waiting and ready when I come to take My 
beloved bride home! O how I long to take you unto Myself. Yes I long to 
take you unto Myself.  Don't fret My beloved, I have burst the storm 
asunder for you!  Now just abide in Me and I in you."
