Don’t Fear the Storm, Part 2

Introduction

I ministered in TN this past weekend; another one of the speakers was Lance Wallnau. Lance delivered an insightful, prophetic message about the recent elections and the coming season in America, using Acts 27-28. This is the account of Paul being shipwrecked by a mighty storm while en route to Rome.

As Lance began his message, I recalled that this was the exact passage God gave me in January of this year when I sought Him regarding what to expect in 2026. Using this account, the Lord said to me, “It will not be smooth sailing; it’ll be very turbulent. But it will also be very fruitful. Don’t fear the storm!”

I hadn’t thought of the word in months. But when Lance began speaking, I realized that when I received the word in January, I shared three GH15 posts regarding it. I am condensing them into 2 posts and re-sharing portions with you today and tomorrow. You’ll be encouraged! Here is some of what I shared in January:

As I have been praying about 2026, the Lord gave me Acts 27-28, the account of Paul shipwrecked by a great storm while en route to Rome. God, however, transformed the ordeal into tremendous victories. As I read the passage, I heard Holy Spirit say, “2026 will not be smooth sailing; it will, however, be victorious, fruitful sailing. Don’t be alarmed by the ‘storms’.”

Although we can always experience peace internally, this will not be occurring externally. The confrontation of evil strongholds and the people operating them must and will continue here in America and around the world. Likewise, resistance from those losing their hold will continue. This ideological and spiritual conflict cannot be avoided. While the battle must be waged righteously and redemptively, it must be waged. Truth and justice cry out for it; righteousness demands it; reformation awaits it.

The greed, deception, dishonesty, ineptitude, and evil intentions of many in our government are both shocking and alarming. The number of Americans who have been deceived is, as well. In today’s post, time does not allow me to elaborate on the seeds of Marxism, Islam, and other ideologies that are now firmly planted and growing in the soil of America. However, the confrontation of these strongholds must and will continue in America and throughout the world in 2026. Jeremiah said that rooting out, pulling down, destroying, and overthrowing evil must happen before building and planting can occur (Jeremiah 1:10). This is all part of reformation. And as the enemies of this cleansing process see their hold slipping away in America and other nations, they will intensify their fighting, making 2026 a stormy and turbulent year.

Leading up to Acts chapters 27 and 28, Paul had been experiencing persecution by the non-Messianic Jewish leaders, who brought him before the Roman government, in hopes that they would execute him (lawfare). During the trial, Paul, as a Roman citizen, appealed to Caesar (Acts 24-26).

He was sent to Rome by ship under the custody of a Roman centurion, accompanied by Luke and another disciple named Aristarchus. This was no small boat; in total, 276 people were aboard. Due to fierce storms, they were shipwrecked near the island of Melita, present-day Malta, where they spent 3 months.

The Shipwreck

Acts 27:14 tells us a typhoon-force wind called a “Nor’easter” caused the shipwreck. The wind was so powerful that the sailors could no longer control the ship and had to allow the storm to carry it wherever the winds blew. They were driven by the storm for 14 days, and they eventually lost all hope of survival (verse 20). At this point, Paul delivered a remarkable message to the crew and passengers:

“...Paul stepped before them all and said, ‘Men, you should have obeyed me and avoided all of this pain and suffering by not leaving Crete. [Paul had warned them prophetically of the storm, in verse 10, which they ignored.] Now listen to me. Don’t be depressed, for no one will perish—only the ship will be lost. For God’s angel visited me last night, the angel of my God, the God I passionately serve. He came and stood in front of me and said, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You are destined to stand trial before Caesar. And because of God’s favor on you, He has given you the lives of everyone who is sailing with you.’ So men, keep up your courage! I know that God will protect you, just as He told me He would. But we must run aground on some island to be saved.’” ‭‭(Acts‬ ‭27‬:‭21‬-‭26‬ ‭TPT‬‬)

Several incredible and important facts can be seen in this statement:

• The prisoner on the ship had become the ship’s prophet and pastor! Never underestimate the power and favor of the Lord.

• God dispatched an angel to support and direct Paul, telling him not to be afraid. We can expect God’s supernatural help in storms.

• The angel said the ship would be lost, but everyone on board would survive.

• He also stated that an upcoming period of ministry in Rome was part of God’s destiny for Paul, including him standing before Caesar.

• The angel added that God’s favor on Paul meant the entire crew and passengers would be saved. (Who you travel with matters!)

• Then the angel told Paul that, before arriving in Rome, they would need to stop on a particular island, though He did not share the name. God used the storm and its winds to get Paul to an important assignment!

They were, indeed, shipwrecked on the rocky coast of an island named Melita, now called Malta (Acts 28:1). The name Melita means “honey;”(1) God was about to turn what looked like disaster into honey!

But I’ll save that for tomorrow. Today I want to make an application regarding this year we have entered, 2026 [Remember, this post was released in January.] The Lord has told me the year would be turbulent, but victorious. We can be certain that whatever transpires on our journey toward revival and reformation, God will not be caught off guard. He is Lord over the storm and can cause its power to be harnessed, becoming His - and our - servant. Without question, satan has some storms planned for our nation and the nations this year. And also without question, God has already planned how He will be victorious over them. He will show us His strategy, just as He did to Paul. Angels will be sent to help us, direct us, and protect us.

Rest assured that God has placed Donald Trump in office. His favor is on our President. In His mercy, the Lord has protected him from two assassination attempts, two phony impeachments, a corrupt election, savage lies by many in the media, and the most vicious and corrupt “lawfare” in the history of our nation. Nothing like it has ever happened in America.

And yet, God has sustained President Trump and, through all of this, further awakened him to his destiny, strengthened his resolve, and increased his wisdom. Trump has now become a sword in the hand of the Almighty. Don’t allow his brazenness and personality to distract you: God has raised up and empowered President Trump as a reformer!

And the Lord’s favor is on us, the Ekklesia. Storms will come this year, but we are called to rise above every storm and soar as eagles with our God (Isaiah 40:30-31). We will accomplish our destiny - as individuals and as a nation - releasing the authority of the Kingdom of God here and around the world. The Ekklesia will not fail, because God is leading and empowering us. We’re part of the glorious church emerging throughout the earth, and God will finish in us and through us what He has started.

Tomorrow, we will see the amazing victories that occurred at Malta.

Pray with me:

[Continuing to quote from January of this year] Father, on this journey to America’s salvation and a worldwide revival, we will experience opposition. This is to be expected. Paul told the Corinthians he was experiencing a great door of opportunity, along with great opposition (1 Corinthians 16:9). The same is true today. Reformation requires faith, fortitude, and determination in order to be accomplished. Spiritual warfare is part of the process. If growing weary and becoming faint of heart were not real possibilities, You would not have said: “Let us not become weary in well doing, for in due season we will reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9).

We will not yield to weariness or faintness of heart this year. We will be strong with Your strength and the power of Your might (Ephesians 6:10). We will rise above every storm, soaring with You like eagles (Isaiah 40:30-31).

We ask for great tenacity and unwavering commitment in our government leaders as they confront evil. Deliver America from leaders who refuse to prosecute corruption, allowing it to fester in our government. Give President Trump and others continued determination to clean up the defilement rooted so deeply in our government. Cause them to prosper as they do so. Give them Your strategy and tremendous wisdom.

You have begun a good work in America and the nations, Father. We ask You to finish this work of reviving and reforming. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our decree:

We decree that we will not fear the storms in 2026, but will rise above them in victory. Though storms come and go, God’s purposes stand strong!
