GET OUT OF THE BOAT

Matthew 14:25-31: When are you going to get out of the boat.
The boat represents the natural way of doing things-that's the natural way to travel across water.

Jesus was operating in the supernatural. Peter asked Jesus to bid him to come on the water. Notice Jesus didn't say no Peter because you would drown. No, Jesus told him to come and he did walk on the water. Notice one word from Jesus was all it took for Peter to go from operating in the natural to operating in the supernatural.

His word was all it took then and it's all it takes now. He's just waiting for someone to believe it and act on it. Notice Jesus said "He that believe on me the works that I do shall he do also" John 14:12. Just like Peter walked on the water like Jesus by his word you can cast out devils by his word, you can lay hands on the sick and have them recover by his word. You can do all the things He called for you to do.

But it's not by your ability it's through Jesus ability. It makes a difference when you do something based on your faith in the word. Look at Luke 5:4-7, Jesus told Peter to launch out into the deep and Peter told him I've toiled all night and caught nothing but nevertheless AT THY WORD....
What made the difference? He had Jesus words. And it's the word that does the work. Your part is to have faith in the word and act.

Remember: Philipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ Jesus....
