I’m sure most of us have heard the incredible testimonies about people who have homes in areas where there were earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, and were protected. For instance, the family whose home stood in the middle of a devastating, all-consuming forest fire and the fire went right up to the wood fence and stopped. Everything around the whole house burned – but not their home! God is awesome. What about the family whose home was in an earth quake? Every house near them was greatly harmed, but their home stood with only one small crack, which was easily repaired. The stories go on and on about believers who were protected in devastating situations.
Jesus counsels His people on what protects them – “Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them,” Matthew 7:24 KJV. It is to read, hear, listen, be taught His Word and then go forth and do His Word in your life. These are likened to be as a wise men. No matter how the winds blow, rains descend, or floods come, they will find their protection. These are believers who put Psalm 91:1 KJV into action. “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” They understand that when the winds of diversity blow, the rains of illness descend, the floods of business reversals come, they are safe under the shadow of the Almighty God. Why is this? It is because they have built their home and their life on the rock – the revelation knowledge of God's Word. This is supernatural faith in action. It does protect. It does lead you away from harm’s way. It does reach out and pull you to safety. It does work miracles in a diseased body. It does restore a business or guide you into something far better. When you establish your life on The Rock, Jesus Christ and His Word, there is nothing that can burn you up (note: the three Hebrew boys in the furnace - Daniel 3:13-25 KJV): There is nothing that can cause you to drown in debt: There is nothing that can blow apart your life, family, marriage, or business. The only requirement Jesus gives us is to know His Word and DO it. YOU can do it! Just hang around people of like mind and let their faith rub off on you. Then you go out and let your faith rub off on someone else. Hey! We’re a family! Let’s do it together! And remember, we are still on that wonderful "narrow path" with the Lord. We win!
