 Kings 4: 12-26 2 Kings 4:18–20Philippians 4:8

Life is filled with storms—moments that test our faith, strength, and endurance. The enemy’s goal is always the same: to steal, kill, and destroy. Most importantly, he wants to destroy your faith. Storms are designed to paralyze you—physically, emotionally, and mentally. They often leave you feeling helpless. But as believers, we must remember that storms are not sent by God. If Jesus rebuked the storm at sea, then we can also rebuke the storms that rise against us.

The Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4 faced an unimaginable storm when her son suddenly died. At first, she did not know what to do. But she knew one thing—the presence of God was with the man of God. She laid her son in the prophet’s room and declared, “It is well,” even before she saw the miracle. Her words reflected her faith in God’s power to turn her situation around.

Key Points to Remember:

1. The enemy targets your faith to keep you from walking in the authority God has given you.

2. Negative words and thoughts can open doors to fear and defeat—guard your words carefully.

3. Real faith rests on God’s Word regardless of circumstances or evidence.

Summary:

Storms will come, but they don’t define you—your response does. Like the Shunammite woman,

keep your confession rooted in faith and truth. Declare “It is well” even in the darkest hour, because faith always opens the door to God’s power.
