Hurricane Katrina

The awful devastation in New Orleans and the states around it have shown how vulnerable and weak we human beings really are.

We like to think that we are invincible but one storm has shattered that illusion.

It is interesting that at the beginning of 2005 Louisiana pastor and prophet John Mark Poole posted the following prophecy as a part of a much longer description of God's plans for 2005:

What I saw in this vision:

This morning, I heard the abundance of a mighty earthquake having just occurred in the heavenlies. A major shift is taking place in God's realm of the spiritual and the supernatural. Yet again, I was overwhelmed when I felt that He impressed, during this time, that our country will experience soon what I saw in the spiritual -- major earthquakes and extreme flooding.

Flooding was seen in the central and the southern United States. I saw New Orleans, literally, 20 feet underwater across the main downtown area. At this time of flooding in New Orleans, I saw it as a sewer full of debris, and every form of garbage was floating around and swirling in the flood. The French Quarter will be wiped out in the flood. Bourbon Street will be abandoned. Alligators will be swimming where dens of iniquity once abounded . . . -- John Mark Pool, January 2005

Rick Joyner has posted in his latest bulletin that he believes that the reason why the authorities have been so slow in responding to the emergency is that a spirit of confusion has been released over the land. As a distant observer, I think he is right.

No matter how comfortable or prosperous or how powerful we might believe ourselves to be, our lives really are fragile and temporary. It is God who holds our lives in His hands. He controls the winds and the waves. He also controls our destinies.

If you know the love of God, this can fill you with great peace even when all around you is in turmoil.

If you are reading this and Jesus is not the King of your life, then you need to turn to Him today. Ask Him to forgive you for the things you have done wrong, and to show you how to turn your life around.

For each one of us eternity is just a heart-beat away.

Are you ready?
