If People Are Being Tossed to and Fro by Every Wind, What Wind Is in Your Sails?

This topic brings to mind a sail ship with massive sails moving across the open sea, the massive sails catching the wind as the ship is being carried about over the sea by the wind. Sailors have even given the winds their own name, hence the term trade-wind. Sometimes these winds can be very strong and can carry the ship the way they’re blowing.

In some ways I can’t help but compare this to all the people in the world today who are claiming to be Christian but their walk does not typify the life of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. While many people are claiming to be a Child of the King, why is it that all of these so called Christians don’t speak the same things or live the same way? They don’t read the same Bible or the Word of God, but they say that they are of the same belief. This alone to me seems to be an oxymoron.

The average so called Christians today are some of the most prideful, arrogant, self-absorbed, greedy, not helping the needy, condemning individuals in the world today. Yet none of the characteristic that they display are of the attributes of Jesus Christ at all. Jesus describes what a Christian should be like, not pretend to be. We are supposed to be examples for the world like Christ was. In the Bible He wants us all to be the same.

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

1 Corinthians 1:10

Its sad to say that the portrait that most of these so called Christians are painting exhibits who they really serve: their father Satan the liar. If your life is a lie and you are a pretender or perpetrating a life of someone or thing, then your life is a lie. Jesus said no liar will tarry in His sight.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

Psalms 101:77

Jesus also said the all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. These are the type of people who are easily deceived by this world or by every favorable word or doctrine. Just like that sail that is fill by strong wind, they become tossed all about. You need to ask yourself, “what wind is in your sails?”

For the real Christian or Child of God, in the book of Ephesians 4:14 it reads: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

We should know better and know our Lord and Savior’s voice and obey it. In my conclusion, I’ll leave you with James 1:1-27.

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. 9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: 10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

James 1:1-27

In Jesus name, it is So.

Are You Being Tossed?

Ephesians 4:11-16

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

I believe most of us have been on or seen a ship being tossed about by a lake or sea. It looks like whatever direction the water would move, the ship or object would move in that direction. Even if the rudder is being steered in the opposite direction, the waves will continue to drive the ship or object in the direction of the wind. Now you must understand that the waves are being directed by the force of the wind and at anytime, the wind can change it’s direction. It goes where it wants to. You can see these results with some of the outrigger sail boats with sails. One moment the sailors would lift the sails and wind and waves would move the ship in the direction of the rocky shore. The look out would sound the alarm, then the captain would tell the crew to lower the sail because the waves and wind would push them toward the rocky shore! Same way in your natural life, it is in your Christian walk. Have we even heard the voice of God say “that’s not My Word, that’s not Me,” but instead had been like a sponge so long that we had a bit of everything in us that we really can’t hear the captain say “take down your sail, you’re headed for confusion, you’re headed for some jacked up mess!” Then He tries to tell you to drop anchor so that your mind won’t be blown away!
John 3:1-8
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God:for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born    when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth:so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
We can not lean to our own understanding. We have to trust in the Lord (Proverbs 3:5).
Ephesians 4:11-16
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
You’re held accountable for every word that’s not His Word that has caused people you have talked to, to fall short of the glory God. Jesus wants us to take that sponge, which is us, and squeeze and or press that confused word out of us by being transform by the renewing our minds (Romans 12:2).

A New Wind is Blowing

In this year and time, new technology and hostilities between countries and governments has increased greatly. God is now allowing a new will to usher in a change in the hearts of people in governments and of countries to begin to prepare for what is coming next: war. I believe He is letting people see themselves, so that they can make the choice to either live for Him or live for the world and burn for an eternity. They must make the final decision now.

Last night, the wind was blowing fiercely, and as I looked at the sky the Lord placed in my heart that there is a new wind that is going to be blowing, it’s  about the change that will take place now with this country and this world, because His return is eminent. He was sharing with me that He is letting this wind blow, a fierce wind. Because of the fierceness of sin and violence of this world, He wants His people to be ready to go at anytime during this time frame. He will not let us suffer his wrath. What we are going through now, it is a testament of what is happening in Revelation. This is the time to start making up your mind up what you will do, because this wind is going to blow very strongly that mean heavy test and trials in your walk..

The Bible speaks of the East wind; it brought the plagues to Egypt with the locusts (Genesis 10:13). This East wind also parted the Red Sea. There are also multiple types of winds: the south and north wind, east wind brought the locust to egypt the west wind….it drove away the locust from Egypt (Exodus 10:19). The south wind blew Paul’s ship gently across the sea before a fierce wind demolished the ship. God used the south wind to quiet the very Earth.

Job 37:15-17

 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

 

The wind is described so often to do some many different things. It also says in the Word on the day of Pentecost that the Holy Ghost came rushing in as a mighty rushing wind; an awesome thing (Acts 2:2-4).

The east wind is also equated for war, due to the violent nature of itself (Jeremiah 18:16-17). In other words, there is a wind that is blowing from the east of violence and of war. It came to me strongly last night that war is upon us. We need to be mindful, gathering food water, whatever we need to do to make sure we are sustained. Everyone one is looking at the presidency, but I am sensing something stronger than that is going to happen this year. So it behooves us to be more mindful of what we are doing. The Bible tells us never to give up, no matter how bad things get. We want to see more happen for this ministry, but I am not giving up on the ministry or any of these things. I believe God is going to cause people that you never would have thought to come into the house of God. He will open His heart to all those individuals and they will hear. Those who have been in Church the ones who came to church…they know too much about Church to their own understanding. The Lord wants a clean and fresh heart, not an old stale one that has been stale from their own mentality. The bible tells us lean not to thy own understanding, but in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path. Well we don’t do that, we direct our path and then blame God. The Lord wants a humble Spirit.

This war coming on this Earth, I’m hoping and praying that the message gets out as the Bible says choose ye this day who you will serve, whether it be God or man. Don’t let this things come upon you unaware. I had a dream where I saw myself in a building. One side of me there was a table and chair, and there was a storm outside. A person was telling me  there is a storm you need to get out. But I said no I’ll just get underneath the table. Someone I knew had gone to another table across the way, and they looked and said it would be better if you came this way, you’d better come this way. So I said no the table I’m under is sturdy. But something told me “go to the other side of the room.” The moment I did, a tornado came and wiped the whole side where I was under the table  away. So the Lord was trying to teach me to listen to Him when He speaks when God say to move, move and if he say stop then stop.

No matter how hard the winds blow in your life, you can never give up. Change what God wants you to change. This new wind that is coming up is no joke. This is the wind of violence that is coming. Violence is going to take place more and more everyday, to the point where all you hear about is violence. The Bible says you’ll hear of wars and rumors of wars, but don’t be soon shaken. Realize that you need to get yourself together. There is no more doing what you want to do, but doing what God wants you to do; to do His will and to do His work.

There was a strong emphasis last night when the Lord shared with me on the new wind. The wind is about getting yourself ready as well as get prepared for Him. I feel an unction in my Spirit that His return is not going to be too long from now. Its no more playing church. When the wind comes, it will test you as to whether you are a Child of God, or not. Whatever is in your life that is causing a hindrance with your walk with God, it will be tested. This time your life is going to be very shaken and not stirred, harder than before many times over.

 

James 1:6-8 talks about how this wind with cause you to make a certain decision.

 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

 

This wind is going to test the very fiber of your salvation. Sure you’ve had tests and trials, but this wind that is coming is of a higher magnitude. Is the love you have for money or spouse more than your love for God? If so, when the wind comes, you will fail. Do you want to live for Christ, or do you want to die for the things you love in the world? When the East wind comes upon you, it will bring things up in your life that you won’t be able to stand. This wind will determine whether you are a saint or an aint.

We need to focus totally on our walk in Christ. The Word says, blessed is he who when he returns finds him so doing. Are you trying to win souls or trying to get them to like you? Are you doing God’s will or no. God wants a pure heart that is going to serve Him without doubt. People want to come to God in their own and with their own preconceived notions that it has to be “my way.” God is saying when this wind blows it will blow away all of those mentalities and reveal the real and raw you. Most people don’t want to let go of their carnal ways to serve God. But all those carnal things are not really you. They have just been pressed upon you because of your surroundings. God has made you to love people. But most people think serving God takes away from their freedom. You need to make a choice.

People take spiritual books that people write to be completely true. They are not 100% true. Speakers are not 100% true. But when the man of God speaks, it will prick something in you, then you’ll know that what he said was true.

Who you allow to be around you, teach you and talk to you; to dominate your life will be a part of who you are. If you allow Satan to be your guide, you life will be dark and controlled. If you allow the light through Jesus (Yeshua) then he will not control you, but guide you. When the wind comes, your false lifestyle will be blown away, your true emotional stand point will be revealed. When the clothes, and the images and the dress, and the lifestyle you lead are blown away and all that remains is you standing there, can you go through a test?

Be prepared for the storm ahead. Prepare for the war ahead. The war does not have to be between nations but it could be your personal war. As God to prepare you for that time.
