Jonah 1:4 -- But the LORD s e n t out a great w i n d into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. Jonah 4:8 -- And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God p r e p a r e d a vehement east w i n d; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

Never speak of nature as if it is deity.JONAH: We all know the s t o r y of Jonah and how he refused to go to Nineveh to preach and then The Lord God of Heaven sent a GREAT wind that caused the ship to be tossed to and fro.We always remember Jonah, the whale, his refusal to go, but seems we forget who controls the w e a t h e r!God sends the W I N D. The W I N D never acts on its own.The W I N D is a tool of God's blessings or cursing.We d e c i d e if we deserve blessings or cursing.Now, are the folks in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee bad folks? God will allow b a d things to happen in places where there are GOOD people so the world will see how GOOD people respond to help others and help those who has never seen God's goodness.The world is seeing churches coming to the rescue of their neighbours.James 2:8 If ye fulfil the r o y a l l a w according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
