JESUS AND THE STORM.
When I was a little girl, my mum raised me on my Bible Friends stories. My favourite was Jesus and the Storm, and my mum tells me I used to know it all off by heart and recite it while I was looking at the pictures! I was immensely comforted the other day to learn that Jesus comes to us in the middle of the storm! "And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea and he alone on the land.  And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them; and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed them by.

But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit and cried out: For they all saw him and were troubled. And immeadiately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And he went up unto them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure and wondered. Mark 6:46-51

It is in the midst of the coming storm that Jesus will come to us, in the latter rain, for "he will come unto us as the rain." Jesus doesn't want us to be afraid for He will be with us, as we make way for Him, by repentance, confession and overcoming. But if we reject Him or His salvation we will be very afraid. Wherever Jesus is and His wonderful love, it casts out all fear! We can be overcomers through and in the coming storm!

URGENT WARNING. For those who haven't plowed through Towards Eternity, the Vatican/US alliance forged in April 2008 and the beginnings of a total US economic collapse heralds the arrival of the mark of the beast and seal of God issue; Sunday versus the Sabbath. "A storm is coming relentless in it's fury, are we prepared to meet it?" We have a very short time to prepare for it's onslaught. Everything the prophets have warned of, is about to come to pass. 

It will be very frightening without Jesus. But Jesus is the one who calms the storm. He is the one who tells us don't be afraid. Don't forget Jesus will come to us in the storm, to comfort, encourage, empower and embolden us by his presence! With Jesus in the storm, it's ok. His presence makes all the difference, he will help us through, and help us to keep our eyes on Him and off the waves and wind all around us! He comes to us and says, "it is I, don't be afraid!"
When your storms arrive, never forget Jesus is the master of the storm and He is our shelter, our refuge in the storm!

What kind of garbage are you feeding people on your site?

You have a link to site talking aliens with blue crystals!

You are unwittingly perhaps giving fodder to those who think all of us Seventh-day Adventists are kooks or conspiracy theorists.

Please stay true to the Three Angels' Messages.

This girls writings are a rehash of similar stuff she wrote about in the mid 1990's. She comes across as very religious, but in truth her private life is a sham. I knew her very well when she lived in Sydney. What she doesnt tell you on her website is that the guy she is married to is not the father of her children. In 1999 she had a complete nervous breakdown, mostly as a result of her predictions not coming true. She blamed her first husband for everything wrong in her life, then divorced him, and made all sorts of false accusations against him. While she was still married to him, she had a sexual relationship with Greg, the guy she is marrie to now, but then to cover her tracks she claimed it was her first husband who cheated on her. She hates her first husband, and wont let the children see him. Would a christian behave like that? I dont think so!! Beware this false prophet who is living a big lie!!
