Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Yesterday we talked about weather forecasts. Today I would like to relate low pressure systems to sin. Have you watched a low pressure system move across the country? Bands from the storm spread out from the center of the storm and spawn high winds, damaging hail, and tornadoes. None of the damage occurs in the center of the low pressure system.
Look at a hurricane. At the center is dead calm. Nothing gets damaged in the center, calmness exists and blue skies prevail. But you can see the destructive nature of the storm clearly from within. In order for anything not to be caught up in the destruction, one must go along with the center of the low pressure system. Such is the nature of the devil that if you are going along with him in sin, all is calm, but all around you is evidence of the destruction your sin has caused.
Pride says, “It is not me that has caused this.” A haughty spirit admires the destruction and pauses just long enough to become caught up in the destruction itself.
John 10:10a The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
If you are a follower of Satan, you move along with him on his path of destruction. He will not bother you in your sins as long as you do not falter for he cares not for you any more than any of the lives he has destroyed using your sins to do it.
Nothing kills a hurricane faster than a powerful cold front which is the leading edge of a high pressure system. You know high pressure systems. Peace and calm and vast areas of clear blue skies where you can see forever.
Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Restoration of damage can only be done in high pressure systems, not the false calm of the center of lowliness where sin abides.

Matthew 16:1-3 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
The weather forecast from all three of my weather apps said it was not going to rain last night. We had a heavy storm blow thru last night. I woke up to heavy thunder and lightning and downpour. So much for forecasts. We are use to the forecast being wrong aren’t we? We do not depend on the forecast to schedule our lives. Or do we?
I for one listen to forecasts as a call to look elsewhere. I open up live radar and see for myself what is happening. I can see with a live shot what is coming with a better understanding of what is happening around me.
This is how it applies to signs from heaven. I can see the signs of the times. I know the Word and in it is a forecast. These forecasts are called prophecy but unlike weather forecasts they are 100% accurate because they are from God who sees all things from a perspective that they have already happened.
The spiritual forecast is my queue to turn on my spiritual radar and see for myself what is happening to my world around me. I do not react to the prophecy. I react to the spiritual insight, that vision given to me by God in the person of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Revelation, not forecast, is your call to obedience of faith.
