Why is America Suffering?

As hurricane Irma looms closer, we cannot help but ask, "Why? Why is our country getting hit with these devastating storms?"

J. D. Farag in a recent Youtube video--Special Prophecy Update Sep 3, 2017 --explains that the United States has suffered severe weather due to its efforts to divide Israel by way of giving up land for peace. From October 1991 to July 2017 there have been 126 catastrophes related to this that cannot be mere coincidences. 

In his search to understand more about this, J.D. contacted William Koenig, author of Eye to Eye--Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel. This is what Mr. Koenig had to say about hurricane Harvey:

"...The timing of White House Senior Advisor Jared Kushner, Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt, and Deputy National Security Advisor Dina Powell meetings in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Jordan, Egypt and Israel and the rapid reformation of Harvey when it looked like it was finished as a tropical threat was awe-inspiring. 

On Wednesday, August 23, the day that Kushner, Greenblatt and Powell arrived in Jerusalem after three and a half days of nonactivity, Harvey quickly became a tropical storm and within 48 hours a major record-setting category 4 hurricane. Much of Jared Kushner and his team's schedule the weekend of August 20-24 ... were somewhat secretive. I had to review some of the Arab news websites to establish the schedule. 

The bottom line, Kushner's week was focused on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. It was a serious effort on behalf of President Donald Trump. 

Meanwhile, hurricane Harvey became a major record-setting category 4 hurricane that pummeled southern Texas Friday, August 25, and into the wee hours on Saturday morning ..."

J.D. went on to report that newscasters have called Harvey a once-in-500-years storm. Fox News called it a once-in-1000-years storm; and even others are saying it is an unprecedented storm such as we have never seen the likes of before in human history.

At about the 22 minute mark, brother J.D. quotes from a Breaking Israel News August 31, 2017, article--Hurricane Katrina, Harvey, and the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process:

No sooner than the Trump trio, of White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner, Special Envoy Jason Greenblatt and Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategy Dina Habib Powell (born in Egypt and living in Texas), came to the Middle East, meeting with Israeli and Palestinian officials, then shuttling to meetings with leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Jordan, to try and restart the Israeli-Palestinian “Peace Process,” Hurricane Harvey began to hit Texas, with its G-D given power of destruction. 

In my September 2005 article, “Israel to America, I Warned You…” I wrote, “Well, it’s begun; less than a week after the Israeli army expelled thousands of Jews from their homes in Gaza and Northern Samaria, uprooting 25 communities, American troops were “evacuating” people from their homes in Louisiana and Mississippi. The greatest “natural” disaster has happened in American history. The Hand of G-D is written all over this one.”

Still in the throes of the Harvey catastrophe, America is facing Irma--a horrific storm we have yet to know for certain where it will track!

Speak to the Storm
This is NOT to say that we as Sons and Daughters of the Most High God do not have authority over the effects of severe weather in our own lives! In the midst of God's judgment remember that He has not appointed us to His retribution! 

If the Spirit of the Lord tells you to get out of your city then go! But if for some reason you end up in a predicament, speak to the storm Mark 4:35-41 and command it to dissipate in the name of Jesus Christ!

Friends of mine in Florida during hurricane Matthew evacuated their home which was in an area hit head-on by that storm. Friends and family interceded on their behalf for their safety as well as the safety of their abandoned home. I even added to my prayer, "and let their electricity be on when they return home". When they were able to go back, they found their home had not been damaged and their electricity was working!

Another inspiring true story of our authority over the earth and its atmosphere is when Henry Gruver (who has prayer walked in over 48 countries) went to Japan in 2012 after the deadly tsunami caused the Fukishima nuclear disaster: Spiritual Separation of the Sheep from the Goats. God has worked through Henry to do many miracles.

Another related story is The Dragonfly Miracle:

Henry was scheduled to speak in Taiwan. The southern part of Taiwan was being plagued by deadly mosquitoes. One mosquito bite and people would go into a painful high fever for four days and then die. Hundreds were dying every day.

He went to southern Taiwan, looked out on a field and had a vision of one dragonfly. His father had told him to never kill a dragonfly because they eat mosquitoes.

Henry prayed for clouds of dragonflies. Suddenly he and his entourage saw millions of dragonflies appear in front of them.

Take courage! We serve a merciful God who will save lives and the very spirits of unsaved individuals even in the midst of disaster! 

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. - 2 Peter 3:9 KJV
