Walking On Water Series

"I can’t tell you that I don’t hurt over this, I hurt every day. But I got too much evidence to not have confidence to know that this too shall pass”

If you are currently going through a trial I suggest that you make about twelve copies of this and put in every place in your house, in your car, etc. If you are a Christian, you have too much evidence to not have confidence to know that this too shall pass. Can everyone say that right now?

This is what the Christian says. The evidence is that you have been through the trials and have seen God work through it, so you know that you will get through this current trial and be stronger because of it. And so this is an example of Walking on Water. This pastor is walking on water. He is standing in the middle of this ruined church and saying: “it is just a building, I still have my people, I still have my ministry, we will get through this, and nothing is going to keep us from our mission.”

The second example involves water. Does anyone recognize the name Bethany Hamilton? If you are a surfer you would if you are a Christian you might. In 2003 she was near her home in Kauai going out for a morning swim (or surf). It was a beautiful day, she was out in the water and her left arm was dangling over the board. Suddenly a 14ft. tiger shark came up and bit off her arm up to the shoulder. She lost 60% of her blood. Most people thought she would never get back into the water let alone surf again. As the following video shows, not only did she get back into the water she went on to place in women’s national surfing championships, proving that she can not only continue to surf but walk on water. That is she learned to overcome the thing that sought to destroy her and her vision.
