REBUKE then SPEAK!

REBUKE then SPEAK

Mark 4:39

He got up, REBUKED the wind and SAID to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!"    
Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

In Mark 4 35-41 Jesus calms the Storm. 

The waves were so strong it caused the boat to rock and break. The waters rushed over and over the boat at the command of the wind.   The apostles allowed the spirit of fear to overtake them, even with Jesus on board. 

Jesus was asleep in the stern of the ship. The apostles woke Him, and ask Him if He cared about their circumstance. 

Jesus immediately got up, He didn’t address the apostles at the moment.

He addressed the storm.  You see, the STORM (the situation, circumstance, and problem) SPOKE louder than the apostles.   

Our problems, issues, hurts and pain speak louder than the answer.   You have to be still and get quiet to hear the answer from God. It’s a still small voice but carries much power and wisdom.  The spirit peace is attached to that voice.

So when the problems in your life seems to overtake you, STOP…REBUKE it immediately then SPEAK.

When you rebuke it you are telling it to stop it maneuvers.

When you speak to it you are telling it what to do or where to go.

God has given us the same authority. The storms in our life must obey our words.  Luke 10:19 applies to everything in your life.

SO, SPEAK THE WORD ONLY!
