A few days ago, a tornado began forming in my backyard. Debris was flying, and water was being sucked out of the pool.

The confirmed EF2 tornado touched down less than a mile from my house before making an almost direct line to my parents’ 5 miles away.

It veered off just enough to miss my parents by less than half a mile and then dissipated.

The next day, when I saw the confirmed path, I knew who was behind the storm. It became very obvious that the enemy had a specific plan in mind.

My parents started the church that I now lead. We’ve experienced every test and trial as the enemy has tried to destroy the church. But each one just makes us stronger.

The enemy tried his best to take us out with that storm, but he couldn’t pull it off because we know something.

Jesus has given us authority over ALL the power of the enemy.

So, the next time one shows up, do what Jesus did. Recognize the source as the enemy, then command the storm.

Your authority in Christ trumps the power of the enemy’s storms.
