Faith...
Lord, what can you teach us about faith?
One Night During Worship Jesus took me away to the Sea of Galilee again, my favourite place to be. It was just near Capernaum and I breathed in the moment of being there.
Jesus then asked me: “ What are you thinking?” And I answered Him that I am just in awe of what I see.
The next moment I was on a little fishers boat in the night on the Sea of Galilee and a huge storm, as I have never seen before was raging with lightning over the Sea. Then I saw Jesus walking on the water towards the boat and I saw Petrus…
But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
Then when Jesus and Petrus were back on the boat I thought to try and walk on the water too and was sitting on the side of the boat and carefully lowered my one leg only (‘just to make sure) and immediately my foot sank to my ankles and I knew that I don't have the faith I thought I had.
I turned around to Jesus and asked:” Lord, what can you teach us about faith and then He answered me:
In Afrikaans:
Geloof is om volkome in My staande te bly te midde van hoe hoog die storms om jou lewe woed.
Voete volkome bo die hoogste golwe wat teen jou lewe kan woed.
Faith is to be able to stand completely in Me despite of how great the storms is around your life.
Feet above the highest wave that can come your way, this is how we must trust God.
Note what Jesus is saying: “ Despite how great the storms are around your life” When Jesus is in your life then the storms are around your life and not in your life. When Jesus is not in your life then the storms will be in your life.
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
Mark 11:22 - 11:24
