What does the Bible say about God and storms?
Job speaks about "The portion of a wicked man with God", in it he says "terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest (tempest means "a violent wind storm") stealeth him away in the night, the east wind carries him away, and he departs...and as a storm hurls him out of his place" 27:20-21
This passage is similar to Psalm 1:4 - "The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff (worthless matter, refuse) which THE WIND DRIVES AWAY".
Isaiah reveals this about our God who resists and despises the proud - "Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, WHICH AS A TEMPEST of hail and a DESTROYING STORM, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand...the crown of pride..." Isaiah also says this about a time of visitation from the Lord - "You shall be visited of the Lord of Hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, WITH STORM AND TEMPEST and the FLAME of devouring FIRE".
The USA is getting hit right now on all sides with storm and fire and Mexico just got hit with a magnitude 8:1 earthquake...this verse says all three can be the result of "The Lord's visitation"...
yet numerous false prophets and pastors are editing these verses out of their Bibles, practicing "cafeteria Christianity", picking and choosing which verses they like and ignoring the rest, crying "peace, peace" when there is no peace, telling us "storms are not God's judgment" or rebuking the storm because it's demonic, sent from Satan, or telling us, and I quote "it's just a weather pattern".
DO NOT HEED THEM! Nahum 1:3 - "The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: The Lord hath his way in the whirlwind AND IN THE STORM, and the clouds are the dust of his feet".
Oh my people, we should be crying out prayers of repentance from truly broken hearts over the wickedness of our nation - we should be asking for mercy. Trump's election was not a validation from God that we are a righteous nation but rather a merciful moment given to us in which we may repent of our many sins and turn to him. Crying out to God for mercy does no good unless we "turn from our wicked ways", words alone mean nothing, we need action. We must truly desire to change...not take the freedom and liberties we've been granted for an occasion to sin...and the greatest sin of all is spending our lives on ourselves...thinking we've been given this life so we can get as much pleasure and comfort as we can...God has had enough.. Judgment is beginning in the House of The Lord.. The American Church says "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing, and does not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked". This passage perfectly describes the Church in America today - preaching a carnal gospel that advocates a lifestyle centered on self "believing that gain (worldly wealth and riches, possessions, things) is godliness" , not seeking Heavenly riches, not dying to self daily, crucifying self from off the throne of our hearts, not living lives of sacrifice on behalf of others, as God directs. Indeed 2 Peter 2:1-3 has come to pass in our generation. We are in "the day of vengeance of our God" make no mistake..it is now upon us...pray for mercy, pray for safety but do not rebuke a storm if God has sent it. Do not believe the false pastors and prophets who speak what they think will be pleasing to you, who tell you these storms and fires and earthquakes have nothing at all to do with God. I would love for Hurricane Irma to turn away from us and do no harm but not at the expense of our Nation's soul...not at the expense of the wicked continuing in their wickedness unabated....If God's judgments result in eyes (of their understanding) being opened to the truth of our nation's condition before God, if real repentance results and people set their hearts on things above, then I thank God for the storms and whatever else he sends our way. For truly, all judgment from God is an act of love on his part...the worst thing he could ever do to people on a path to hell is .....nothing...
