God's Will?

 Why do so many Christians think that hurricanes and natural disasters are the will of God? “The thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy.” Jesus rebuked the storm sent to kill Him and it wasn’t sent by God! If the Father is sending and the Son rebuking, then their house is divided. No! The Prince and Power of the Air is the culprit. Rebuke that devil sent hurricane! As of this writing (Saturday, Aug 31st) Dorian is headed for central Florida, USA. In Cambodia, on the USA's Saturday evening, the church will be in united prayer: “We command Hurricane Dorian to dissipate, break-up, turn and die! In Jesus’ Name, Amen!"

It would be so easy to just give up, and attribute whatever happens to God’s will.  But, not everything that happens on this earth is God’s will. Regardless of the adversities orchestrated by the “Prince and Power of the Air” and whatever evil he throws in our path, Solomon says, "[we must] push on!”

“He who observes the wind (and waits for all the conditions to be favorable) will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap. As you know not what is the way of the wind, or how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a pregnant woman, even so you know not the work of God, Who does all.” (Ecclesiastes 11:4 AMP)

We can't just roll over and allow the destructive events in this world (hurricanes, floods, droughts, tornadoes, earthquakes) to create fear and stop us from fulfilling the purpose for which we are called: “Build the Kingdom of God.” It is when we don't face opposition we should be questioning our call.
