Did you know that God controls the weather? In this area of study, science continually falls flat on it’s face! That’s because our Lord uses the weather for His purposes, and the meteorologists can only be accurate in what God has shown them He will do! (Genesis 41:28) For our purposes, things like famine and earthquakes will be included with the “Weather”—in so much as most people regard them to be natural and scientifically explainable. Very few professing believers look outside of the forecasted weather (or pray) as to what will be.

            God has given me a certain measure of faith in praying for the weather. These past few years He has also been teaching me more about His involvement; how weather is affected by mankind’s spiritual condition. While it is true that rain falls on the just and unjust alike, God still uses weather as a blessing or curse, as well. Why would we still look on weather as some natural phenomena, and not a work of God? Frankly, it is another symptom of the disease of faithlessness—caused by the revised Bible translations. Let’s see what God’s Word says…

This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he showeth unto Pharaoh. Genesis 41:28

            God brought the plenty, then the famine. God used it to put Joseph in power; and to bring Israel into Egypt. He also revealed Himself to Pharaoh, that Egypt might know the one true God.

If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. Leviticus 26:3,4

            Obedience will bring rain.

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you. Deuteronomy 11:13-17

            Obedience and disobedience determine the rainfall.

Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. II Samuel 21:1

            Here a three year famine (lack of rain) is caused by sin.

When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them; Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance. II Chronicles 6:26,27

            Sin causes rain not to fall, but repentance from sin brings back the rain.

And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered. So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. Amos 4:7,8

            God is responsible for the rain—this passage reminds me so much of today.

And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. Revelation 16:9

            The end times are characterized by weather and nature plagues. God sends these as punishment, but man will not repent. Mankind is not only rebellious, but blind:  we do not even see “natural” plagues as coming from God.

            (See also Deuteronomy 28:12,24; I Kings 8:35, 17:1, 18:1; II Chronicles 7:13,14; Job 5:10, 28:26; Psalms 147:8; Isaiah 5:5,6; Hosea 6:3; Joel 2:23; Zechariah 10:1, 14:17,18; Mark 11:21-23; Acts 14:17; James 5:17,18; Revelation 9:20,21

            Weather is a key form of Godly chastening. Let us accept His ways as children of the most high God! (Hebrews 12:7,8)

WARNING:  To avoid falling away, return to the pure Word of God; which is the King James Bible. Revised translations are not small word alterations meant to bring clarity! Major doctrinal changes have occurred, which will bring doubt and destroy your faith. To follow these new “versions” of the truth, is to build your spiritual house upon sand, and become as the ones reflected in Matthew 7:21-23. Please use this entire passage, Matthew 7:21-27.

            Satan means to deceive you into sincerely following his alternate “truth.” You are really being set up to fall, and serve the antichrist.

            Pray and seek God diligently in this matter; for time is short. See also our Bible Version section and the section on Eternal Security.
