Mk.4:39 – And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still.” And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm. Storms, apparently, are just a way of life. Jesus seemed to be unaffected by them; just another opportunity for a nap on the boat. This passage always …
Ps.46:5 – God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;God will help her when morning dawns. This is an amazing prophetic word about the church and a New Testament believer. David said that the Lord was in the midst of the city of God. The city of God speaks to us …
