You who have Jesus: Put down your umbrella!
That storm you are in, with the rain coming down like torrents, you are protected by that big umbrella of yours. Put it down! There is a Lord who has the ear of God. God hears him and grants his wish. You do not need that umbrella. You have Jesus. Put that umbrella down, fold it up, put it away. And as you do, not a drop of rain will touch you because the Lord commands the rain to stop. You too can command the rain, if you believe in God and do not doubt. Then the umbrella is redundant. Learn to believe like this. Learn to use your faith in situations you find yourself in. Do greater things than even this. Jesus is with the Father now. The Father gives him immediate answers. These answers can come to you too, through Jesus. Ask so that you will receive. Meet Jesus in the storm like this and he will show you how he is truly Lord, with all power in heaven and earth given to him by the Father. The Father loves him and gives him this teaching to give to us. Use it. Obey it. Then pass it on. This Lord is Jesus. Let him prove it to you personally so you can be sure. Let him show you who is your Master, and your helper in the storms. Do not doubt. He is alive forever, alive from the dead, and active in our situations. He is human who can be touched, not a ghost. Yet by spirit he can reach out to you. And he represents you before the Father in heaven. He died for you. The one anointed by God has died for you.
