“As Paul is on his way to Rome, the multi-day, hurricane-like storm he was facing was not a normal storm.
You are going to go through storms…Jesus himself went through storms. Paul went through storms, Peter went through storms, the disciples went through storms, Jonah went through storms, the Bible is clear, you are going to face storms in your life. The question isn’t how strong is the storm, the question is how spiritually strong are you?
I want you to look at this storm a little differently…I believe this storm was a battle between good and evil.
God was sending Paul to Rome on a mission to speak the name of Jesus to Caesar, And the devil was trying everything he could to stop him….why? Watch this….
Because the devil knew that if he allowed the Gospel of Jesus to spread to gentile ears in Rome, that he would NEVER be able to stop the spread of the gospel again. Once the Gospel of Jesus hit Rome, it spread like a wildfire.
The devil had to try everything he could to stop Paul from reaching Rome, so he sent a multi-day hurricane storm to sink the ship to cause chaos and confusion, to cause fear. But Paul knew. Paul listened to God’s words. My question to you is this…are you listening to God’s word or are you listening to the storm around you?”
