Henny-Penny The Lord uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise-1 Corinthians 1:27
She was a tiny hen. The other chickens in the yard would tease her for her size. They often termed her “Chicken Little.” While Penny surprisingly loved this name, her favorite thing to be called was “Henny-Penny,” given to her by the other fowls that lived nearby. The rhyme was perfect, it was sweet, and she liked it very much.
One morning, as Henny-Penny was plucking worms in the henyard, an acorn dropped from a tree right onto her head! She had no idea what had hit her, however, and so she started shouting:
“The sky is falling! The sky is falling!”
She ran around in circles for a while, calmed herself, and then got right to waddling—she had to alert the king!
She convinced the rooster the goose and the turkey the sky was falling even though she had no proof, and even though they had some doubts they followed her anyway in this paranoia to alert the king.
As they waddled over the last hill of the vast field, they saw a flash of reddish-brown before them. It was Mr. Fox!
None of the fowl friends had met this sly creature before, but they had heard rumors of his trickery and appetite. Henny-Penny and Rooster-Booster were oblivious, though, and desperate to keep moving. Ducky-Chucky suddenly shivered, forgetting the day’s heat, while Goosie-Brucie’s chest became even puffier; Turkey-Perky just stopped and smiled.
“Hello, hello, hello,” cooed the fox.
“Oh, Mr. Fox, the sky is falling! The sky is falling! We must alert the king!” Henny-Penny shouted.
“Oh, we must, we must!” Rooster-Booster chimed in. But the other birds stayed silent.
“Ah, yes, the sky is falling! And I know where the king is!” replied a delighted Mr. Fox. He licked his lips and gestured the birds to follow him past a large tree and back over the hill.
Henny-Penny and Rooster-Booster began to waddle and waddle and waddle in the direction of Mr. Fox. Turkey-Perky whispered something to Ducky-Chucky and Goosie-Brucie, and then the three waddled closely behind the rest.
As Mr. Fox led Henny-Penny and Rooster-Booster into a hole in the hill just under the tree, Ducky-Chucky bounded into action. There was a small patch of water beside the opening, and the duck giggled with delight as he splashed his feet loudly.
Rooster-Booster and Mr. Fox re-emerged from the hole, suddenly distracted by all the quacking and splashing. Goosie-Brucie looked at Turkey-Perky, who gave him the signal, and stood right under the tree over the hole. The goose puffed his chest out as hard as he could muster and bumped the trunk, causing the tree to shake. Several acorns fell, covering the hole and hitting Mr. Fox, knocking him out cold. Turkey-Perky pecked and pecked and pecked up the acorns until there was just enough room for the tiny hen to escape out of the hole. “Chicken Little” indeed! By now, she had seen the acorns collapse and knew what had fallen on her head earlier.
Henny-Penny, Rooster-Booster, Ducky-Chucky, Goosie-Brucie, and Turkey-Perky waddled and waddled and waddled back home to safety. Henny-Penny hugged her fowl friends and kissed Turkey-Perky on the cheek, grateful that the fox had not eaten them—and that the world was not ending! Instead, they all lived happily ever after.
PROPHECY
There is a really good reason the Lord said this to me because this is what is going on right now. People are running around sounding alarms claiming things they have NO PROOF FOR.
They know something is going on in this nation or with horrible things in this nation but they are not seeing it themselves nor do they have proof that the claims they make are true and it almost got Henny-Penny killed because they wandered out the confines of safety out from under the covering in which they were safe into areas of danger and uncertainty meaning they entered into an area where predators dwelled and they had NO CLUE they were entering dangerous territory.
Australian leadership: their life shall be required of them this year if they do not turn now from their wicked ways.
This year 2, a pair, shall fall in 3’s.
The leadership of the United States shall be sifted this year and many shall be sifted out through a series of circumstances.
This was all January 7, 2022, some of it I discussed on Grace and Glory.
I audibly heard OBAMACARE and when I searched this with injections this is what I found and look what it says.
Committed to jabbing ALL populations.
This is why they fought so hard for Obamacare in the supreme court and why a certain judge who was supposed to be conservative tipped and sided in favor because they had plans to do this way back when.
I also audibly heard the word Medirex I had no clue what this is.

Luke 8:22-38: NKJV
22 Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. 23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in [j]jeopardy. 24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!”
Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 But He said to them, “Where is your faith?”
And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, “Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
A Demon-Possessed Man Healed
26 Then they sailed to the country of the [k]Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons [l]for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!” 29 For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 Jesus asked him, saying, “What is your name?”
And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him. 31 And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.
32 Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them. 33 Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.
34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 36 They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was [m]healed. 37 Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the [n]Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.
38 Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.” And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
Now there is a relationship between the storm that occurred and the demons in the man at Gadaran who was on the other side.
Every time you see storms whether in a man or otherwise the approach is the same:
You deal with the Spirit FIRST!
You see some people their prosperity was because there was no salvation in the land. The spirits were working through the people to prosper them in a way that was not of God.
Jesus was arriving at a new level.
When Jesus arrived at Gadaran it was not the leadership of the rulers who came to meet him it was a madman filled with a legion of devils.
Question: who told the madman that there were people coming from the other side? Who informed him?
To understand this we must go back to the boat with Jesus and the disciples:
Luke 8:22-25 NKJV
22 Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. 23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in [j]jeopardy. 24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!”
Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 But He said to them, “Where is your faith?”
And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, “Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
Notice what is going on there is a storm, the disciples are petrified and Jesus is asleep in the boat, He is NOT FRETTING in the storm.
Notice what Jesus does when He is woken up:
He does not address or reply to the men OR to the water.
He rebuked the wind, His focus and attention immediately goes to the wind.
Now, You cannot see the wind BUT you can see the EFFECTS of the wind, the raging waves, the rocking boat, the disciples freaking out.
The wind represents the Spirit so Jesus’s attention on that boat was focused on the source of the storm not the EFFECTS of the storm.
All this storm to free 1 man in Gadaran who may have been equal to 10 cities.
You know in scripture it is interesting Jesus’s ways: One moment he would be teaching and dealing with a crowd and the and in the next moment, you would see Jesus with the same attention and focus dealing with 1 person.
You see Jesus looks at things from a will of God, outcome perspective.
With the Gadarene's men were prospering because there was oppression in the land, the madman of Gadaran is your proof there was oppression in the land, that storm was proof there was oppression in the land.
That madman that satan was attempting with such force to keep in bondage was going to become the evangelist for that whole land to free it!!
And Almighty God intending to invade that land decides to send His Son Jesus to invest this time and power in this man, and satan being aware that in freeing this man it would save a city, seeing salvation coming to that city that he had a hold on.
And the enemy knew if the spirits were driven out the people's possessions would go down!
The economy of the Gadarene's was rising because the purposes of God were bound.
And Jesus intending to save an entire city made the bold move to cross over knowing the enemy was going to cause a storm to try and stop them.
Think about something for a moment: maybe Jesus is so intentional about YOUR PURPOSE because it is BEYOND YOU.
Every time satan comes to you he comes because of what is connected to you!
There are attacks that have no business happening to you if you were not connected to the kind of purpose for the kingdom you are connected to.
The attacks have nothing to do with you do not take them personally because the enemy is fighting many people through you to stop your purpose that will change the lives of many!
The Lord looked at you and saw an evangelist, a prophet, a teacher, a businessman or woman who finances, one like Luke who is going into the medical arena for Christ.
So the enemy attempts to stop you from going forward.
You need Spiritual intelligence that helps you look beyond your understanding.
Ephesians 1:17-18
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your [a]understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
Storms happen to all men, storms are a verification and a confirmation that you are going to the other side.
If you did not intend to grow you would not be met with such challenges.
Here is a very important point to understand: Even Jesus himself being in that boat did not stop the storm from happening. However with Jesus in the boat, He had the authority to stop the dominion of the storm during the journey.
There is a mind of Christ mentality that allows men and women to rest in the middle of storms.
(Psalm 23- though I may walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for you Oh Lord are with me, thy Rod and Thy Staff they comfort me)
That divine presence of Jesus being in the boat should be consoling, however, the disciples were not resting like Jesus was in that boat in the storm, they were downright panicked!
Jesus woke up he ignored their panicking, he ignored the waves and he rebuked THE WIND, and it was calm.
The first way to deal with storms is to rebuke the wind which represents the spirit.
Satan does not attack failures, he does not attack that which is not a threat to him and his interests.
The Word of God says that satan knows his time is short, so it would be a complete waste of time for him to attack that which is not a threat.
It is better to forget your battles than to ever forget that Jesus is in that boat.
There are times in your life that all your skills and training and schooling cannot help you, you need Jesus.
In your praise and your rest, there is a prophecy that you will arrive even if it's years later. You arrived, you stepped out onto the other side.
I do not know what storms you are facing or the ones you will face but I know 1 thing for certain: If Jesus is in the boat rejoice because the storm will be still and you will arrive.
17 plus years of living in a broken home in a broken family being raised by a single parent plus years of unemployment with Jesus equals 1 year of victory that supersedes all the years you thought you lost, all the years you struggled.
Let me give you an example:
If someone is battling depression. Depression is the storm depression is the physical manifestation of a spiritual root so the depression is the manifestation of the storm but the spirit behind I could be rejection, abandonment, being told as a child you were worthless, that is what you want to rebuke in the name of Jesus Christ go after what is giving the depression its waves and capabilities
