Matthew vs Matthew: ‘Be Lifted Up and Thrown Into the Sea’

“I assure you: If you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you tell this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done. And if you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Ever since Hurricane Matthew was announced and was projected to be a devastating Category 5 monster, we have been praying that it would veer off into the ocean and dissipate.

We watched and prayed as Hurricane Matthew shattered records, according to Weather.com:

Matthew first intensified to a Category 4 hurricane by the 5 p.m. EDT National Hurricane Center advisory on Sept. 30, topping the previous record-long eastern Caribbean Category 4-plus streak of 66 hours set by Flora (1963), David (1979) and Ivan (2004)…

Matthew’s Category 4-plus longevity also set a record for the entire month of October anywhere in the Atlantic Basin, according to Klotzbach…

In fact, before all is said and done, Matthew may be one of the longest-lived Atlantic major hurricanes – defined as Category 3 or stronger – in the past 50 years of satellite records…

Not only did Hurricane Matthew end a nine-year streak without an Atlantic Basin Category 5 hurricane, but it did so at an unusually far south latitude…

This was the first Category 4 landfall in Haiti in 52 years and was only the fourth such Cat. 4 or 5 hurricane to pass near the western Tiburon Peninsula in records dating to the early 1960s…

Matthew first became a Category 3 (major hurricane) on September 30, and has now maintained that status for a remarkable one-week stretch…

Not only is it an anomaly for this late in the season, but it’s also climbing the overall major hurricane longevity charts, according to Klotzbach…

Nearly 250 Miles Wide, a 3,000-Mile Journey, And It’s Not Over…

As I was praying, the Lord gave me this Scripture:

Early in the morning, as He was returning to the city, He was hungry. Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He went up to it and found nothing on it except leaves. And He said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” At once the fig tree withered.

When the disciples saw it, they were amazed and said, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”

Jesus answered them, “I assure you: If you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you tell this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done. And if you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Please join with us, believing that proclaiming this passage in Matthew 21:18-22 will quickly drive out Hurricane Matthew, and this “mountain” of water will ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea’
