The Miracle Series: Walking On Water (The Catch Of The Day)

The Miracle Series: Walking on Water. “The Catch of the Day” Matthew 14:22-33. Wouldn’t you like to be......

Have you ever ask God to let you do something seemingly impossible—— in the midst of a storm?

That’s were true leaders are born. That’s Peter,

It’s one thing to be in a storm, but it’s another thing to have faith to try the impossible while your in the storm!

Today we have to many people waiting on God when God is waiting on Them!

A storm is often in the form of a Struggle: a story of an Olympic runner

it’s 1968, during the Mexico City Olympic marathon, 26.2 miles, the leader finished in 2:20:26

43 runners finished in the next 30 min. Far behind them was a runner from Tanzania, John Stephen Akhwari

he fell, had a gash in his leg and injured his joint. 1 hour later, most had left he limped across the finish line

Why? He said my Country did not send me 11,000 kilometers to start the race but to finish the race.

by the way, 17 runners did not finish at all. Every born again believer is running for others in your life.

Keep this in mind, Do you think that Peter was identified as the leader of all the men in the Boat this day?

The Sending across the Sea—

Why did He make them get into the Boat? He Could see what they could not!

“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” James 4:10

Why so Urgent?

God may need to lift you up today, to rescue you from a storm or deliver you from a crowd that you don’t know about

The Crowd—This crowd was not an angry crowd, it just wasn’t a safe crowd

The Focus of the crowd was all wrong—

Jesus knew he did not need to put the Disciples in a confusing situation.

V22 ~You will always know when Jesus is sending you for whatever reason.....look at verse 22

He will give you A Command (Go), —Gods plan for you involves the Gospel and People

A Vehicle (Boat), —God will make a way for you to be where He wants You.

A Destination (The Other Side)—It’s possible in 4 years for every people group to be reached

Jesus uses and rewards the Focused.........

The Crown—The crowd was not focused on Jesus, They were focused on a Crown (perishable) Temporary

"The Multitude were pressing upon Jesus, to lead a revolt against Rome and be there earthly King

Jesus did not want His Disciples to become Distracted by Politics, Wrong Motives or distorted views!" Butler

V23 Why? Because Jesus was not protecting them from a Crown, but For a Crown.

Church the Miracle of Salvation is not only Eternal Life, But the Rewards for Living it!

bottom of Page. Each Born Again Believer has an Opportunity to not only Saved by God but

Rewarded by God for an Amazing Life lived in Amazing Grace!

Why is it important to Obey God? Because the other side holds a Powerful Movement of God!!!

All of us wants to experience a Powerful Move of God, but truth be known many were stalled by a storm

The Storm in the Sea—V24

Has a Storm in your Life prevented you from reaching the other side? The Place of Peace,Service, Shelter

~A Storm is nothing more than an opportunity to experience God at Work and Join Him.

a Storm can effect us Spiritually & Physically—physically stalled, Spiritually sick

We can learn from Peter’s Miracle the value of being able to ask God the impossible in the midst of a storm.

V24 The Contrary—just because life gets Contrary you’ve got to know the one who sent you is coming.

How can you know? Because your going in the Direction God told you to go.

If you are in a Storm today you have to ask;

Is it a storm of Correction or a Storm of Persecution. (Am I Spiritually Sick?)

If your in a storm of correction you better Repent. David, Elijah, Nation of Israel, lives are at stake

If your in a Storm of persecution just keep going to the other side. Finish your Race, Crowns

A Fallen world does not become a friend to a Faithful Servant, but it does become an opportunity to

reveal God’s Power if we are CONSISTENT

The Consistency-Just because your in a Storm you never stop rowing. WHY? Physically/Spiritually Stalled

Mk 6:48 When your in a kayak and a big boat comes you have to square up and face the coming wave.

When a boat is on the open sea, that boat has to fight the wind and current to be ready for a wave.

V25 Why? You do not want to be blindsided. (If you will Fight the good Fight God will Show up)
