Has anyone felt overwhelmed in the last few weeks? I have. Three years ago or so, several friends and I were regularly receiving visions and words of a coming flood; like a tsunami. The connotation was that it was going to feel overwhelming, but God would be in it. And the results would be good. I remember seeing, in a vision, people thrashing in the water, fighting it, thereby nearly drowning. Others tried swimming upstream, wearing themselves out in the rising torrent.
