A MIGHTY WIND

Here it comes again, the mighty Taku winds whip over the mountains and across the channel crashing into our house on Douglas with astonishing velocity.   Deenie repeats her mantra:   “I hate the wind!”, as we watch our windows flex and feel the force of 60 mile an hour wind gusts buffeting our walls.   The thick salt spray residue from the channel on our windows testify of the power of these winds.

I have had ample time to reflect on the Taku’s because they have been our constant companion several days this week.   A couple of weeks ago when the winds (clocked at 88 miles an hour) hit our house, Deenie and I braced ourselves waiting to hear sounds of damage.  We Thank God for His protection knowing that hurricane force winds can wreak havoc on homes.

How amazing that on the Day of Pentecost the Spirit’s entrance came with the sound of a roaring mighty wind.   It should be no surprise because wind has been a type of the Holy Spirit throughout scripture.   When the believers in the upper room braced themselves from the sound of the wind, they had a marvelous surprise.

Acts 2:2,4 state:

Suddenly, there was a sound from Heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.   And everyone was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.

How awesome, when God flexes his powerful force He brings blessings not curses, provision not destruction, life not death, hope not despair and He gives mercy not judgment.

Even more awesome, this same power from Almighty God is available for us today!

BRACE YOURSELF FOR GOD'S BLESSINGS AND FAVOR.
THE WIND OF GOD IS BLOWING!
