Matthew 14:24-32 (KJV) But the ship was now in the midst of the sea,

tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

[25] And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on

the sea.

[26] And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled,

saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

[27] 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?

[32] And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

WE ARE LIVING IN A DAY AND TIME

WE`RE A LOT OF US WHO ARE PROFESSING TO BE

CHRISTIANS

ARE PASSING UP FUTURE BLESSING FOR RIGHT

NOW OBSTACLES

AND IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD

THERES SOMEBODY SITTING IN YOUR ROW

SITTING IN THE SAME SEAT THAT YOU ARE

SITTING IN

WHOSE LIFE IS IN LIMBO

AND IT`S NOT BECAUSE YOU TRIED AND FAIL

SHORT

BUT YOUR LIFE IS IN LIMBO BECAUSE YOU ARE

TO SCARED TO START AND WALK BY FAITH

BUT YOU RATHER FOCUS ON THE HERE AND NOW

AND WALK BY SIGHT

THAN THE THERE AND THEN AND WALK BY FAITH

AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE WE DON`T

WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE PAIN OF THE PAST

BUT I STOP BY ON MY WAY TO HEAVEN TO TELL

YOU

NO PAIN NO GAIN AND IN ORDER TO GET

SOMEWHERE IN THIS LIFE YOU HAVE TO GO

THROUGH SOMETHINGS

BECAUSE PAST PAIN BRINGS SPRITUAL GROWTH

IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD

SOME OF YOU HERE THIS MORNING ARE AFRIAD

TO GET MARRIED

BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID THAT YOU MIGHT

END UP IN DIVORCE COURT

AFRAID TO START A BUSSINESS BECAUSE YOU

ARE SCARED OF BANKRUPTY

AFRAID TO APPLY FOR CERTAINS JOBS BECAUSE

YOU OR AFRAID OF BEING REJECTED

BUT IF YOU WILL LET ME PULL OVER RIGHT NOW

AND PUT SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND

AND THAT IS

A LOT OF US WILL NEVER WILL NEVER MOVE

BEYOND OUR PRESENT SITUATIONS

BECAUSE WE SPEND MORE TIME FOCUSING ON

HOW THE ENEMY MIGHT HURT US

RATHER THAN HOW MUCH GOD WANTS TO HELP

US

AND THER COMES A TIME IN EACH OF OUR LIVES

THAT WE HAVE TO GROW TO LEVEL OF SPIRITUAL

MATURITY

AND THEN WE WILL REALIZE THAT

SUCCESS IS NOT BASED UPON HOW MANY

FAILURES WE HAVE IN LIFE

BUT SUCCESS IS DETERMINE BY HOW MANY

OBSTACLES WE OVERCOME IN LIFE

WE MEASURE FAILURE BY HOW MANY TIMES A

PERSON GET KNOCKED DOWN

BUT GOD MEASURE FAILURE BY HOW MANY

TIMES A PERSON STAYS DOWN

BECAUSE THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF STORMS WE

FACE IN LIFE

STORMS OF CORRECTIONS

AND STORMS OF PERFECTIONS

STORMS OF CORRECTIONS DISCIPLINES US AND

CORRECTS US AND GETS US BACK INTO THE WILL

OF GOD

BUT STORMS OF PERFECTIONS ELEVATES US TO A

LEVEL OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY

CAN I TELL YOU WHAT I`M TALKING ABOUT

IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IN THE BOOK OF JONAH

JONAH FINDS HIMSELF IN A STORM OF

CORRECTION

(TELL STORY)

BUT WHEN YOU GO REV DR PAUL 2ND LETTER TO

THE CHURH AT CORINTH

REV DR PAUL FINDS HIMSELF IN A STORM OF

PERFECTION

(TELL STORY)

BUT IN THE TEXT BEFORE THE DICIPLES ARE

GOING THROUGH A STORM OF PERFECTION

THE 14TH CHAPTER OF MATTHEW REVEALS THAT

AFTER JESUS FED THE 5000 MEN PLUS WOMEN

AND CHILDREN WITH 2 SARDINES AND 5 BISCUTS

Matthew 14:22 (KJV) And straightway Jesus constrained

his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto

the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

SO THE 1ST THING THE TEXT REVEALS TO US IS

THAT JESUS COMMANDED HIS DICIPLES TO GO TO

THE OTHER SIDE

WHICH MEANS THAT THAT THEY WE`RE IN

APPOINTED PLACE AT THE APPOINTED TIME

DOING WHAT THE LORD HAD COMMISSIONED

THEM TO DO WHEN THE STORM ROSE UP

AGAINST THEM

THE BIBLE SAYS IN VERSE 24

THAT WHEN THE STORM CAME THEY FOUND

THEMSELVES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA

STRUGGLING AND STRAINING TO GET TO THE

OTHER SIDE

AND THE 1ST SPIRITUAL NUGGET I WANT TO LIFT

UP IS

IN SPITE OF FEAR WE MUST LEARN HOW TO DEAL

WITH EXTERNAL CONFLICT

THE DICIPLES WE`RE IN COMPLINCE WITH THE
