God of the Storm, 6/30/16

GOD OF THE STORM

(COME TERRIFY US WITH YOUR FEARSOME POWER!!)

If you really love God, then you want to know him even when he is being absolutely terrifying!

2 Corinthians 5:11

Knowing, therefore, the TERROR of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

Psalm 18:7-15New King James Version (NKJV)

7

Then the earth shook and trembled;

The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,

Because He was ANGRY.

8

Smoke went up from His nostrils,

And devouring fire from His mouth;

Coals were kindled by it.

9

He bowed the heavens also, and came down

With darkness under His feet.

10

And He rode upon a cherub, and flew;

He flew upon the wings of the wind.

11

He made darkness His secret place;

His canopy around Him was dark waters

And thick clouds of the skies.

12

From the brightness before Him,

His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.

13

The Lord thundered from heaven,

And the Most High uttered His voice,

Hailstones and coals of fire.[a]

14

He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe,

Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.

15

Then the channels of the sea were seen,

The foundations of the world were uncovered

At Your REBUKE, O Lord,

At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

Come Lord! Come on the chariot, on the wings of the wind, on the clouds, the hailstones, lightnings and coals of fire!! Come, Lord!! Scare us spitless and have your way in the earth!! Hallelujah!!
