They all got into a boat and began to cross over to the other side of the lake. And Jesus, exhausted, fell asleep. Suddenly a violent storm developed, with waves so high the boat was about to be swamped. Yet Jesus continued to sleep soundly. The disciples woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We’re going to die!” But Jesus reprimanded them. “Why are you gripped with fear? Where is your faith?” Then he stood and rebuked the storm, saying, “Be still!” And instantly it became perfectly calm. The disciples were astonished by this miracle and said to one another, “Who is this Man? Even the wind and waves obey his Word.” Matthew 8:23-27 TPT
I was challenged this morning with these verses. We’ve become so influenced by our senses. What we see and hear in the natural have become our reality. We’ve forgotten that He set the example and gave us all power.
What would happen if the believers would use the power given to displace storms? Heal the sick and raise the dead? At some point, we should be that, right?
Remember that song, “It only takes a spark to get a fire going.” You are that one spark. What are you waiting for? Your words are as powerful as Jesus’ words because He gave us all power and authority over all the power of the enemy. (Luke 10:19)
It’s time we use what’s been given and show the world by example. You’re to follow Jesus, not man. Don’t wait for a group to do it. Show the world around you that the Jesus in you is still alive in you.
