Step Out on Faith

Matthew14:25-29

25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
 
 

Having support is a good feeling. People there to cheer you on, pray for you and come to your events feels good. But what if you lack support?

Imagine what it was like on a boat with support and you see Jesus walking towards you on water. Peter asked “Jesus if that is you, bid me to come” and the Lord said one word “Come”. Not “Come, your friends won’t belive in you” He just said Come. Peter stepped off the boat and started walking on something that is not designed to hold him up. When you can’t feel support, walk by faith. Your flesh wants to feel support. But if you don’t mind feeling shaky, you can step into the land fo your miracles. The guys on the boat wasn’t praying for with him every step if the way. We fail because we want someone to be in agreement with us. If the Lord told you something, you don’t need anyone else to be in agreement. So what if you don’t have support from people. Walk out on the water and stand on the Word. Keep on doing what God has told you to do. Even if you begin to sink, Jesus is there to help you.

I encourage you to increase your faith in Him, because He is all the support you need.

Step out on FAITH!!
