Shelter In The Time Of Storm
Testimony for the glory of God
I really felt the need to spend some time in prayer today. I decided to do a prayer walk around the hospital, especially to pray for Kumari. As I started to walk towards the back entrance of Merlin Park hospital, I a piece of paper fell out of my coat pocket, I picked it up, it was an envelope, but what was written on the envelope caught my attention. The words I read were “IN THE STORMS OF LIFE, YOU STAND ON THE ROCK!” I could n’t believe what I read; it was definitely a message from God for our specific need. I thank God for the wonderful way He spoke to me, His presence didn’t leave me, as I continued with my prayer walk, I was reminded of a Tamil Christian song ( kaatharin karangal), even though the recording was not that great, I felt the powerful presence of God, I was singing the words in Tamil in my spirit, the words of the song was from Isaiah 59:1 and from Ephesians 3:20.
Isaiah 59:1 Behold the LORD’S hand is not so short that it cannot save, nor is His ear so dull that it cannot hear.
Ephesians 3:1-20 …and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,
The above covenant promises of God enabled me to come near to Jesus, and poured out my heart unto God. I knew my brothers and sisters in the Lord were praying for us. I felt the power of prayer.
I realised that the power of prayer should not be underestimated. James 5:16-18 says, “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. “God most definitely listens to prayers, answers prayer, and moves in response to prayers.

This video shows God’s protection over us, a lovely representation of our heavenly Father's love and protection over His children.
It says in Psalm 145:18-19 'The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them'.
It says also in Jeremiah 20;11 ' But the LORD stands beside me like a great warrior. Before him my persecutors will stumble. They cannot defeat me. They will fail and be thoroughly humiliated. Their dishonour will never be forgotten'.
Remember, it's not you; it's God. Even when we wander away from Him, He's still there behind us calling us to come back home. There is no place on earth too far for God's love to reach us.
What love! Most of us have been beaten up by life, people have failed us, circumstances have got the better of us but the Good news is God's got us in the palm of His hands. He'll never leave us nor forsake us.
I know who goes before me; I know who stands behind: the God of angel armies, He's always by my side.'
