You Must Believe What God Says About YOU Part 8: YOU Can Walk On Water
Matthew 14
22And 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.
23And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
It was no excerise in walking in water
No instruction manuel
HE JUST SAID COME
LETS LOOK AT WHO YOU GOT TO LEAVE IN THE BOAT: 3 TYPES OF PEOLE YOU GOT TO LEAVE IN THE BOAT
#1 PEOPLE THAT JESUS AINT TALKING TO
26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
I KNOW JESUS NOT TALKING TO YOU WHEN YOU MESSING WITH SOMEBODY ELSE HUSBAND
#2 YOU GOT TO LEAVE IN THE BOAT THE PEOPLE WHO NOT THINKING ABOUT GOING ANY WHERE
26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
YOU TOO SATISFIED
#3 LEAVE IN THE BOAT PEOLE THAT DON’T SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OVER HERE AND OVER THERE- PEOLE THAT DON’T SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND THAT!
26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN RIDING IN AND WALKING ON
THERE A DIFFERENCE IN BEING THERE AND HANGING IN
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN BEING A FRIEND AND ACTING LIKE A FRIEND
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN BEING HOLY AND SAYING THAT YOU HOLY
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TONGUE AND A FOUNTAIN
SO WHEN YOU REALLY HEAR GOD’S VOICE FROM THE BOAT
THIS IS WHAT GOT TO HAPPEN
( SEE YOU HEARD HIM FROM THE WORLD- AND YOU MADE A MOVE BUT YOU HAVENT HEARD HIM FROM THE BOAT)
#1 MIRCALES GOT TO HAPPEN
28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
#2 MERGERS GOT TO HAPPEN-
28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
HE MERGED FROM BEING OUT THE BOAT AND INTO THE WATER- RIGHT THERE WITH JESUS!
OUR PROBLEM IS THAT WE WANT TO DO GOD’S WILL FROM THE BOAT!
#3 MATURATION WILL HAPPEN-
28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
AND HE GREW UP RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES
AND LOOK AT THE OTHER DISCILPES IN THE BOAT PREACHING AND IN THE BOAT SING IN THE CHOIR STAN CHANTING- THE THINGS I USED TO DO I DON’T DO ANYMORE; THE PLACES I USEDTO GO I DON’T GO MORE MORE
BUT PETER SAID YEAH ME TO BUT I’M I DONE WROTE ME A NEW VERSE: THE THINGS I WANT TO DO I’M DOING THEM-
THE PLACES I WANT TO GO IM GOING THERE!
3 THING YOU GOT TO DO IF YOU GONNA BE A WATER WALKING SAINT
YOU GOT TO BLOCK OUT; WIPE OUT; AND STEP OUT
#1 YOU GOT TO WIPE OUT YOUR WORRIES
25And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
#2 YOU GOT TO BLOCK OUT YOUR BEOFRES
27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
THAT’S THE SCRET YOU GOT TO HAVE JOY IN DOING WHATS NEVER BEEN DONE
#3 YOU GOT TO STEP OUT ON SCRIPTURES
John 10:4
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
