This is not a dream but an experience. Earlier today I ran errands to make final preparations for Shabbat. I had already stopped at the gas station, pool supply store, and my final errand was to Walmart for snacks. As my son and I approached the storefront, a sudden gust of wind passed over us, and the strangest sensation was brought to mind. You see I grew up on Amelia Island a tiny island just off of the northeast coast of Florida. When a hurricane was close by there was always a change in the atmosphere. It was something that could be felt. There is no way I can describe it, but that is exactly what I felt again today. It was so strong that I said out loud, "There is a hurricane coming."
I have a feeling that this time we are in - only hours away from the 40 days before Yom Kippur, is bringing a change in the wind, the spirit. I feel the storm is sitting slightly offshore, and it is gaining both speed and momentum. It is significant this happened outside of Walmart as it has been used to represent our entire economy before. The hurricane is only days away from landfall. Are you prepared physically and spiritually? Have you drawn near to Adonai Yeshua? The darkness is again on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moves dynamically over the face of the waters.
