Hi laura, you indicated that there is not much we can do about it.......YES there is, IF youhave the guts ( sorry John if this is too heavy ) to do it ! Has anyone amongst The Dovesever had the Lord tell you to do actions to prevent earthquakes ? Ever read Psalm 60, vs 2where David asks God to " HEAL THE BREACHES THEREOF, " as in " Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast broken it, heal the breaches thereof, for it shaketh ." It dothappear to me that we can do alot about it. Last week I raised the issue of Deut ch 32 vs 22 and no one bit on it. " For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase and SET ON FIRE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE MOUNTAINS. "Ever knelt before or stood before the Lord, holding HIS WORD in His Face, asking, maybedemanding that He do as is shown in His Word, and do as David did in this verse in Psalm 60 ?? Most believer are afraid to do it, but we are instructed to do so. Ever asked the Lordto please defer His anger ??Ever looked at an ancient volcano, and asked the Lord what do you have to say about thisvolcano Lord ?? I did repeatedly in Quezon Province, Luzon, Phillippine Island back in 2006 and 07, finally He said to me : " Tell it to STAY ASLEEP. " I did and shared it withthe local church nearby, " Tell it to stay asleep. " In Jesus Name of course. Mt Benahaw,huge volcano, asleep for 400 years, Stay Asleep Mt Benahaw.Now this will seem incredulous to some, but back in the middle 90's driving home from SFO to Antioch Calif we were nearing Lake Temescal, just at the edge of the Oakland Hillswhich sits exactly on top of the Hayward Fault, when the Lord directed me to stop there.Next to take off my shoes and socks and walk about the near edge of the lake, and tellthe Hayward Fault to BE STILL in Jesus name. So I did and left for home. No big deal, Ijust did as I was instructed.We can do something about these things I believe.Dewey
