(John 1:13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Was this storm sent by God to correct us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or was it sent by the enemy to try and harm us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different types of God\u2019s will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sovereign Will &#8211; God\u2019s perfect will. <br>Preferred Will- God\u2019s preferred will. <br>Permissible will &#8211; God gives us free will. <br>Personal will &#8211; God\u2019s personal will over our life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storm Of Correction<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 \u201cArise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.\u201d 3 But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. (Jonah 1:1-3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are fleeing away from God\u2019s will.. there are unnecessary fares you will pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jonah ran from the presence of God\u2026 and a storm was sent to take him where the Lord originally asked him to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storm Of Perfection<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>35 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, \u201cLet us cross over to the other side.\u201d 36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, \u201cTeacher, do You not care that we are perishing?\u201d 39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, \u201cPeace, be still!\u201d And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, \u201cWhy are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?\u201d 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, \u201cWho can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!\u201d (Mark 4:35-41)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do we know this is a storm of perfection?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Jesus rebuked the wind! We only rebuke devils<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is the enemy attacking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you keep reading, Jesus delivers a man that was dealing with a demon named legion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side of this storm, there is deliverance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The enemy sometimes will hinder us to help others and a deliverance that is taking place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now when we discern storms\u2026 we audit this 3 things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price (correction) &#8211; Jonah had to pay an unnecessary expense. <br>Price (perfection) &#8211; Us to be bold &amp; rebuke winds! People (correction) &#8211; is my storm effecting people negatively? <br>People (perfection) &#8211; is my storm effecting people positively? deliverance took place. <br>Patterns (correction) &#8211; Need to be broken if not God\u2019s will. <br>Patterns (perfection) &#8211; Need to be trusted if it is God\u2019s will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Romans 12 talks about patterns. there are patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cycles vs. Seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cycles that are toxic, need break. Seasons we must go through or in other words breakthrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How God speak throughout the bible is a pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How the world speaks is a pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must discern the patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 Keys around storms. <br><br>#1 Storms build our faith <br>#2 Storms often reveal God <br>#3 Storms expose our trust in God <br>#4 Storms bring balance in our walk with Christ<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some things don\u2019t always require prayer.. you been praying. Now just be disciplined and become better with your habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to know I\u2019m in God\u2019s will?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#1 You must decide in your heart &amp; mind. <br>#2 You must plan. &amp; make sure it\u2019s God\u2019s plan. <br>#3 Commit. When you\u2019re committed, there is no other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcf9<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/IuYARKN2tSA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch the podcast here<\/a><br>\ud83c\udf3f<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/simplyuncagedgifts.com\/products\/anointing-oil-kit\" target=\"_blank\">Grab the Anointing Oil Kit here<\/a><br>\ud83d\udd4a\ufe0f<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/simplyuncagedgifts.com\/collections\/forgiven-collection\" target=\"_blank\">Shop the Forgiven Collection<\/a><br>\ud83c\udf31<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/simplyuncagedgifts.com\/products\/21-day-sow-what-you-desire-soul-fast-pdf-downloadable-edition?_pos=1&amp;_sid=710b10eed&amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\">Grab the 21 Day Sow What God Desires Soul Fast<\/a><br>\ud83c\udfa7<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/simplyuncagedgifts.com\/podcast\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe to our podcast<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why does God allow storms?
