In our walk in and through Yeshua, indwelt believers often encounter the storms of life—trials and tribulations that test our resolve and trust in His beloved Father. These storms can come in many forms, such as personal struggles, spiritual battles, or external challenges. Yet, through it all, authentic believers are reminded of God’s unwavering presence and His promise to never leave nor forsake us.
Anchored in the FAITH the Holy Spirit possess within us, we find eternal strength and endurance, knowing that these storms are the birth pangs of the Father preparing for His final battle with His greatest enemy, the Antichrist, the False Prophet, and Satan himself.
Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone forth in wrath, even a whirling tempest; It will swirl down on the head of the wicked. The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has performed and carried out the purposes of His heart; In the last days you will clearly understand it. (Jeremiah 23:19-20)
Fact. Most will do a blow-by on this TRUTH and warning until it’s too late!
Sustained by Yeshua Amid Prophetic Storms
My studies of the prophetic truths of the Holy Word reflect a deep commitment to understanding God’s Divine plan and His revelations for the future. Immersing myself in the Scriptures, I seek to uncover God’s profound messages and promises woven throughout His Word. In the beginning, I viewed them as harsh and punitive. Today, I see them as love letters from Yeshua.
Storms are one of my favorite topics. Growing up under a father who was a storm-chaser, I learned a lot about the complexities of brewing storms. As nature needs the atmospheric storms to establish a strong root system, so does the authentic believer need the brewing storms of the End Times to be equipped with the wisdom and discernment needed to navigate the complexities of the of our Lord’s prophecies - for it develops a strong root system of beliefs.
In the prophetic storms of the End Times, the Bible forewarns of tumultuous events and spiritual upheavals that will punish unbelievers and test the root system of self-proclaimed believers. Authentic Bridal members of Yeshua (Jesus) are not exempt from the birth pangs of the ultimate STORM approaching humanity. As a tree must depend upon its roots to survive a vicious storm, so must the real deal indwelt believer in Christ - as He releases the brewing storms of the last hours of humanity. So…here is my question for you:
How secure is your spiritual root system?
The Nature of Prophetic Storms
The Scriptures vividly describe the End Times as a period of great tribulation and distress. Jesus Himself warned in Matthew 24:21, “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.” These prophetic storms encompass not only physical calamities but also spiritual warfare, deception, and persecution. The Apostle Paul echoes this in 2 Timothy 3:1, stating, “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.” Reader, we are IN these last days.
The Assurance of God’s Indwelling Presence
That is IF you are indeed filled with the Holy Spirit. Despite the foreboding nature of these prophetic storms, indwelt believers in Yeshua have the assurance of God’s unwavering presence - from the inside out.
In John 14:16-17, Yeshua promises, “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth.” The Holy Spirit, dwelling within each believer, provides comfort, guidance, and a strong root system. His Divine internal presence is a constant reminder that believers can be sustained through His root system in the darkest of storms. It IS what empowers us to endure to the end.
The Power of God’s Indwelling Word
First, let’s get the facts straight!
The Word of God is God.
Yeshua/Jesus became the Word of God.
The Holy Spirit is the Sword of the Spirit - the Word of Truth.
The converted humans become His Holy Temple.
The Holy Spirit possessed the believer, who is the Temple.
Thus, the Word of God dwells within the Bride of Christ.
Reality Check: The myriads of authentic believers through the ages, who did not, or could not read the written Word of God - were well equipped to release the Word without reading a single word.
Is this too mysterious for you? If so, you do not understand the power of the Word being a PERSON. Fact. Literate societies tend to congregate at the Tree of Knowledge - even in reading the Word of God in written form. However, if you read the written Word through the inspiration of the Word living within you as a PERSON, Divine and Holy wisdom will erupt.
The indwelling Word of God is a powerful weapon against the deceptions and challenges of the End Times storms. Hebrews 4:12 declares, “For the Word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” By immersing ourselves in Scripture inwardly and externally, believers can discern TRUTH from falsehood and STAND firm against the enemy’s schemes. The promises of God, such as those found in Psalm 91, offer protection and reassurance: “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.”
The Strength of Numbers
The unifying strength of fellow Bridal members of Yeshua also sustains authentic believers. Hebrews 10:24-25 encourages, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” In times of prophetic storms, the fellowship of believers provides mutual support, encouragement, accountability, and POWER. Together, they can pray, worship, and stand united against the forces of the darkest of storms.
The Believer’s Rest in Eternal Glory
My father used to say to respect the forces of nature. This was while we sat and watched horrific storms come and go throughout my childhood. You might question my father’s judgment regarding this experience, but when I was 5 years of age, I begged my father to let me stay with him as a tornado was approaching our town. Against my mother’s wishes, he tied me to the door of our storm shelter with his belt. What unfolded has remained with me until this very hour.
As the tornado entered our yard, trees were uprooted, sheds and rooftops were sucked into its fierce destruction - as my feet and legs were sucked upward toward the storm’s jaws, I watched my hero father fearlessly guard my little body. IT WAS OVER TO TOP EXCITING. That day not only marked me, but I learned a valuable lesson - the Father WILL sustain us in the fiercest storms.
Ultimately, the hope of eternal glory & protection sustains believers through the trials of the birth pangs of God’s forthcoming Judgements. Romans 8:18 reminds us, “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” The prophetic storms are temporary, but the promise of eternal life with Yeshua is everlasting. This fact/truth empowers believers to endure pre-judgment hardships with a steadfast, enduring heart, knowing that their ultimate victory is secure in being belted to the storm shelter of the Living God.
Authentic believers in Yeshua will be sustained in the prophetic storms leading up to the final End Times ultimate storm - by the assurance of God’s presence, the power of His Word, the strength of the unity of believers, and the invested hope of eternal glory.
As we navigate these tumultuous times, we can rest in knowing that God is faithful and will uphold us through every storm. With our eyes fixed on Yeshua, we WILL emerge victorious, reflecting the Light & Life of Yeshua in a world engulfed by the storms of darkness.
