Title: Jesus Walking on Water / Matthew 14:22-33
Contents
Jesus immediately urged the disciples to get into the boat and go to the other side while he was sending the crowd away. After sending the crowd away, he went up by himself to the mountain to pray. At sunset he was alone there. In the fourth quarter of the night, Jesus came to his disciples walking on the sea. When he saw them walking on the sea, he was astonished and cried out in fear, saying, “It is a ghost.” Jesus immediately spoke to him and said, “Take care, I am. Do not be afraid.” Peter answered and said, “Lord, if it is given to you, command me to come over the water.” Then he said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and fell away. He cried out, “Lord, save me.” Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and took hold of him. "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" And when they got into the boat, the wind stopped, and the people in the boat bowed down to Jesus, saying, "Truly, you are the Son of God."
Introduction
The saints who believe in Jesus, become his people, and enjoy the life of a citizen of heaven as a new creation in Christ are those who have thrown away the glory of the world like excrement with their faith. When Moses was a young man at the age of 40, when his greed for material things in the world was most intensely radiated, he opened the eyes of faith to see that the reward for suffering with God's people and obeying God's will is much greater than all the treasures of Egypt. By having it, I was able to devote myself as an instrument of will. If you lie down on a bed due to a physical illness, all your desires will be in vain. Hope, confidence, and motivation disappear, and you lose the taste of life. In that case, what you need is the Word of God. If a single word of the power that calms the wind, storms, and even raging waves hits our souls, the disease will flee and we will be restored to peace and stability in our hearts. Those who have experienced the power of these words can transcend the greed of the world. You can devote yourself to the church as promised before the Word.
Earth 1: First you must deny yourself.
Those who do not acknowledge themselves and conquer themselves are always at risk of making themselves idols. Therefore, the Lord also said that we can follow Him only when we first deny ourselves and take up our cross (Matthew 16:24). If you are suffering from physical illness and still follow the two rabbits of the Word and the world, then you cannot expect to be freed from disease. The Bible says that this world is evil water on which a whore sits (Revelation 17:15). This water contains all the worries, worries, sighs, and even evil diseases that afflict humans. The Lord walked on this water. He commanded storms and waves like an angry lion, and even walked on them. And he has given us the power and authority to walk on this water. As long as we believe in Jesus, we too can walk on water if we receive with faith the power of victory that overcomes the world that He gives us. You can trample on every disease and get up. Faith is giving. Faith is giving up and giving yourself up. Only this kind of faith pleases God and we can experience the work of healing even our diseases (Hebrews 11:6).
Earth 2: You must hope for what you cannot hope for.
The purpose of Jesus' coming to this earth is to give freedom and liberty to humans who are suffering from disease and are captured by the power of darkness. Jesus, who came as the doctor of all, is the same yesterday, today, and from eternity to eternity (Hebrews 13:8). Therefore, please believe that the history of healing power is not meant to end as a historical fact of 2,000 years ago. Today, as long as we show the same image of faith, the same authority, the same power, and the same strength will surely appear. To believe this is faith. Therefore, we must become those who hope for the impossible. Because faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). No matter how serious your illness is, even if it is a disease that the doctors of the world have given up and turned away from, the Lord never gives up. As long as you have faith, there is nothing you cannot hope for. If you have faith, there is nothing you cannot see. Please keep in mind that it is our faith that changes, not the Lord's power.
3 Earth: If we do not have faith, we are the ones who have cast away.
Jesus is the Lord of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Therefore, if we cannot find the same faith in those of us who believe and follow Him, it is a serious problem. So we should always check whether the Lord Jesus of faith is in us. Because without Jesus, you are a forsaken person. Isn't it impossible that there will be an answer to the petitions of the forsaken? Now Jesus is looking into our hearts. There must be a history of being saved by standing on the side of faith. It is through faith that we are healed and we are saved through faith. The Lord never forsakes those who have faith. Don't let it fall over. In the end, you will definitely build it. In the end, you will definitely build it. Therefore, we must have great faith that pleases the Lord. As long as our faith is approved by the Lord, the Lord grants us the declaration of life, 'According to your faith'. In the face of the faith approved by the Lord, where is the place where disease can set foot?
conclusion
Dear brothers and sisters, at this very moment, are your hearts turbulent due to illness or other troublesome things? Without faith, we have no choice but to be engrossed in the power of the waves. However, if we only look to the Lord, we can walk proudly on the water with the Lord. All you need to do is to have Jesus as your Lord. Faith to have the Lord as master, faith to have the Lord as king, faith to have the Lord as a husband, and faith to serve the Lord as a teacher. You just need this kind of faith. I hope you will walk on the water through the strong history of faith. I hope that you step on the water of a bottle, the water of family problems, the water of children's problems, and the water of business and materials, and stand tall on them with faith. Even if we have little faith and fall into the water, if we just cry out for rescue, please remember that the Lord is with us, holding our hand and leading us. Unanswered beliefs are fake. I pray that the petition to let me walk on the water and the petition to save me will be worthy of the Lord's heart, so that everyone walks on the water and has only the history of victory.
