It's working great

The disciples returned to the tomb wondering what they could do as they knew the Roman guards had rolled a great stone had been rolled over the grave, but God sent a great earthquake to shift it.

“and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a great stone against the door of the tomb, and departed” “And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it”  “So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word (Mat 27:60, 28:8). 

God brings us through situations that seem closed and blocked by great stones; they are meant to seem impossible, difficult or burdensome but Jesus cannot be stopped. Stones will be moved and His great power revealed. Wherever we face trouble or a great problem it is a prelude to God stepping in and meeting that need with His great power.   The result was the disciples had great joy in their hearts! Great joy came through great trouble.

One time when Jesus was in a boat there was a great storm but after the disciples woke Him up, He rebukes the wind and there was a great calm.  “And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat so that it was already filling. Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm and they feared greatly and said to one another what manner of man is this that even the sea and the wind obey him ( Mark 4:37-41). What is placed into heart of the disciples?  Great fear or great awe of God.

Friend, our Father knows that great revelation and great personal changes are not possible without great challenges. God means the great storms in our life, to eventually become a great calm, and great barriers to become great doors. Not so we continue life unchanged, but so something of God’s greatness is deposited in our heart and spirit’s.
