God Is In Control

Beverley September 6, 2018 11 Comments

Today is the 1st anniversary of hurricane Irma, which tore through our islands in the BVI and literally crushed us.

Last year at this time, the entire BVI were battened in and shut down waiting for the approaching tempest.

Many of us, especially the children, who have never experienced a hurricane were more curious than fearful.

Some of us older folks who had been through many storms both spiritually and physically were anxious, but prepared.

The hurricane came and shook the very foundation of the islands. It battered, it ravaged, it tore, it shook and then it left us exposed and in shock.

Fear, confusion, anger, sorrow and pain filled the atmosphere. The world outside thought we were all dead.

But God!

The tempest took our possessions and crushed our pride, but we crawled out of the rubble, ALIVE!

God was in control!

Last year, destruction was all around us.

Today we have peace.

Peace and calm over the BVI

Last year the apartment where I lived was totally destroyed.

Today God gave me a view of peace from a new apartment.

Thank you, Lord!

Check out these sobering and spectacular before and after photographs of BVI after Hurricane Irma published by the BVI Beacon.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.

You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
