Walking On Water

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit;and they cried out for fear. But Jesus spoke to them saying, Be of good  cheer; it is I; be not afraid.  

 And Peter answered him and said, Lord if it is you, allow me to come to you on the water.  Jesus said , Come.  Peter got out of the boat and he walked on the water.  A strong wind came upon the water , it was boisterous and Peter became afraid. 

Peter's fear caused him to sink.  Peter cried , Lord save me. How often are we filled with confidence when we place our total faith in God.  We know that we can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens us. 

Confidence elevates to great heights of hope when we trust God. As long as we focus on Christ we are more than conquerors.  It is that moment,... when the wind becomes boisterous that we sink into the slippery abyss of hopelessness and helplessness.   We become overwhelmed by what is happening around us instead of focusing on the power that holds us in provision and deliverance. 

So Peter began to sink...we all sink sometimes and we all have our moments where our faith is challenge when things seem hopeless.  However, the power in all of our sinking, the power in all our difficult life challenges, the power in all of our helpless moments, is  when we sink  into the waters of life because of  circumstances beyond our control...this hand that reached forth for Peter reaches for you.  This strong hand, this anointed hand, this healing hand, this guiding hand, this hand of grace and mercy reaches forth for you.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him... (caught you)...and said unto him ...(you),... O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 

Can you walk on water?  What are the storms that surround you?  The hand of God is stretched forth towards you! The miracle is when you extend your hand toward his.

I must need go through Samaria

God never avoids the needs of humanity. It is the inability of people to understand the unconditional love that God has for them, for you and I. God has unconditional love for us. The world is so small and God so big! God's immensity exceeds the imaginations of men and women. We are trapped in worlds of our own making . Prophetically...God does not desire to see any of us trapped or see any perish.

So Jesus, tells his disciple in the Gospel (John,4 and verse 4) that he needs to go through Samaria.

In Samaria, a woman approached the well where Jesus sat. (Jacob's well.) Jesus was tired from his journey. He was wearied. The human side of Christ was weary. But the Spirit side of Christ was not. Jesus made a request of the woman. He said, Give me a drink of water.

But, the woman wanted to know why a Jew would ask a Samaritan for a drink of water. Sometimes, we separate ourselves from the blessing before God has an opportunity to bless us. That's why it is important to know who is speaking to us , who wants our attention, who wants our mind, God or the world? The words of truth or the deceptions of the Great Dragon.
The woman was about to miss an opportunity for a blessing. The world will miss an opportunity for God to manifest his power. Why? We are not listening to God.

Jesus answered and said to the woman, if you only knew who you were talking to,..we don't receive the blessings we so richly deserve because we don't listen to God.

The woman was talking to God in the flesh and she didn't know...she didn't
know it. He look just like another person. How often has judging, perceptions, attitudes, opinions, twisted creeds, personal apprehensions, and fear kept us from giving Jesus a drink of water. He gives us water... if we drink it we will never thirst again. Can you imagine, never thirsting again. That's not humanly possible but divine. What does truth look like? Truth does have an image. God comes to us in many ways but we must be able to see the revelations for our lives.

And Jesus said, I must needs go through Samaria...the world awaits the truth.
The world awaits the truth of theGospel. We, the people of God have slept too long. God is able. Will you give Jesus a drink of water by serving him. We bring more light to the world when we serve others and set the captives free. Why does the world wait for truth when it is already manifested. We must realized that God is sovereign,not nations, not man, not world conferences, not stimulus plans, not politicians, and the list could go on. God is sovereign!

No hatred, no separation,no war, no genocide, no suicide, no deceptions, twisted perceptions, perverted truth, injustice, inequality, no prejudice, no homelessness, no... no...no..Just God! Just God! No racism, classicism, sexism, militarism...Just God! Just God! God is Able...and we must
needs go through Samaria. The church must go, we must go now!

Prayer

Gracious God, I surrender to you today. The world needs light. There is much suffering, hurt, chaos, pain and confusion... allow me to become an instrument in your hands. God, I know that you know what I need, but it's not what I need...it's what your will is for me. God, I thank you for my journey here today. I pray that these anointed words of truth empower me today...today, I forget myself and embraced the power of the resurrected Jesus...empower, lift, hold, guide, lead, and allow me to become a foot soldier of truth.

God is able!

God Is Able

There is nothing impossible for God. God is able. Many times we forget that God can perform miracles. God is able to do abundantly what we expect and do for us beyond our imagination. God can do anything. There isn't
anything God cannot do.

Christians must believe that God can do what he says he will do. God is able. God can work the impossible in the those moments of our lives that seem the darkest, those moments when the storms of life are raging. We Christians must keep the faith knowing that God 's high purpose must be manifest in our lives. This will take a surrendering of our will.

Believing that God is able will allow us to rise above the storm, rise above the temptation, the difficulty. God is a liberator and God is able to help us stand in the faith. One may falter and faint but one must keep the faith in a God who is able to work miracles.

To love God is to love Christ, and to love Christ is to trust the Holy Spirit. The circumstance, the crisis, the moments with out light in our lives are nothing more than an opportunity for God to come in and fellowship with us and we with him. Our lives could only be better, our world a better place. The miracle happens when with faith we realize that nothing is impossible with God. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The Psalmist ask the question , who is this King of Glory? He utters in the same voice, ' The Lord of Host', he is the King of Glory. Friend of God, remember God is able.

Prayer

Gracious Father Eternal, giver and sustainer of life, we pray for our world today, we pray for peace , we pray that we may learn to understand one another. We pray to become the people that seek you, that seek your face. Help us now with the power of your grace , guide us with your love, for we know God that you are able.
