WEATHERING THE STORMS
Spiritual Storms
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the Kingdom of God (Acts 14:22).
Spiritual storms are part of every Christian’s life. It is the firm conviction of many that a day of unprecedented spiritual storms is upon us. The spiritual warfare raging in and around us continues to intensify. Both the dealings of God and the harassment of Satan are becoming more pronounced. In this article, we will examine the various kinds of storms that break in on us and offer some advice for dealing with them. First of all, let’s define the term “spiritual storm.” By that, I mean those conditions, situations, and experiences that we know to be abnormal or out of balance and which place us under such physical, emotional, and spiritual pressure that we find it difficult to function normally. The spiritual storms we encounter seem to fall into three major categories, and our awareness of these distinct categories is essential. If we fail to distinguish the kind of storm we are in, we may have great difficulty for each of the three types of storms calls for a different response.
Let us go forward in this battle fortified by conviction that those who labour in the service of a great and good cause will never fail.
