Amen, There is a Bible story that
illustrates this in Matthew 14: 24-33
Matthew 14
“The disciples were in the
boat. The boat, already in the middle
of the sea, was tossed by the waves;
for the wind was contrary”
Maybe here in this room or
even
someone watching television,
Okay,
your life is being shaken
by certain winds, maybe it
‘s the winds that bring a
financial turbulence
or maybe a storm
of
sickness coming your way
Whatever it is, the
winds,
or the storms
I’m here to tell you,
in the midst of the storm
Look to Jesus
because the bible says
the The wind was contrary
It was a stormy day
in the midst of the sea
“In the fourth watch of the night.
Jesus went to them, walking on the sea”
Listen to this, in the time of Jesus the night
was divided into four watches
From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.: the first
watch, from 9 p.m. to midnight
the second watch
from midnight to 3 a.m., at
3 a.m. is the third watch
from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m.
is the darkest
time The darkest time is
always before dawn
the darkest watch
is the fourth, darkest
in life disciples.
The darkest time
of your life, Jesus does not leave
you alone, He comes to you
And look how He arrives,
He arrives walking on the waters
he walked on the waters
he walked on the waters
He walked on the waters
problems trying to overwhelm them
The sea was raging and frightened the
disciples, intimidated them to
drown them, He came overpowering the sea,
stepping on the sea
heading towards them
As if he was
stepping on the Devil’s head
heading towards you .
Walking on your
financial troubles heading
towards you
Walking over your illnesses
heading towards
you Amen, Saying
Hey, here I am, Amen.
treading on your sicknesses,
on your depression, Hallelujah, The Lord
of heaven is above the waters
Amen, Hallelujah, He does not forsake you
in your darkest moments,
” on the fourth watch of the night
He came to his disciples , when
the disciples saw it coming, they said
It’s a ghost”, It happens
when you watch too many movies
Parents, my advice to you,
Be careful of the movies
your children watch, make sure
that do not plant seeds
of horror and fear in their hearts.
Because once the fear is
in their hearts and minds,
it’s too hard to get rid of it
Even when they’re in adulthood,
at 40, 50, even 60
they still have that fear
the impression that there is
always something behind them
even if there is nothing.
Look at the images that can
enter the hearts of your children.
Parents, you are the priests
and the kings of the house,
Do not neglect this high position
Saying “no” to your children,
you help them to say “no” to others
Learn to say “no” to your children
It will help learn
the power of “No”
they won’t hate you,
or report you to social services
they won’t come to the “talk show”
and say, “I got depressed
because my parents said ‘no’ to me “, they
won’t be like that,
they will become whole, whole
Some parents are scared, afraid
to say ‘no’ to their children.
Your children need your love
They need you to say ‘no’
to them time
Sometimes they say:
“my mom told me ‘no’
, so that this
‘no’ doesn’t come from them.
Now they can say
‘no’ to their neighbors
and you will be blamed for
that. this way,
you help them to say “no”
You understand that…
Okay. other words,
“Here I am” Translated from the Greek, “this is me”
is “I am”, the name of God
“I am” Literally the name
of God of a flame of fire
Do not have not afraid “I am”,
You have a
bounced check,
what is your need?
“I am”
I am your healing,
your finances
Amen,
I am your health,
your refuge, your peace, I am,
fear not. The next verse
Peter, who else, 28″ Peter answered him
“Lord, if it be you,
command me to come to you on the waters”
Now Peter, something
good about him, he left the
reason aside, command me to
come to you, therefore, Jesus said,
come, just a word, come.
29. “And he said: Come!
Peter got out of the boat and
walked on the water to go
to Jesus. The fact that Jesus
walked on the waters, we can
say, He is the son of God
but now, Peter
an outspoken, the sinner Peter
walked on the waters
like Jesus to go to
Jesus, Because his eyes were
fixed on Jesus. Reuben, he saw Jesus.
People say things
like, see Jesus every week
How does that work in
practice? How was it?
By fixing our gaze on Jesus
He became like Jesus
Jesus was master of the storm,
Peter was too,
master of the storm. He
rejoices in the blessings
of the first born, looking at the first born.
Agreed ? “But seeing that
the wind was strong”, when Peter saw
that the wind was strong, it means
that he looked away from Jesus,
He looks at the wind now
When he saw that the wind was strong
he had scared
Reuben, stopped looking
at Jesus
and went to bed in fear.
How? ‘Or’ What? By starting to
look at its symptoms,
at the circumstances, looking at
the crisis, the
financial turmoil, the euro, looking at
all the banks and all the
problems of the world, instead
of looking at Jesus. He abdicated
his high position
He went back to reasoning,
and when you go back
to reasoning, even
reasoning out of fear,
he’s not flawless reasoning
Listen to this, He saw the turbulent wind,
what a connection there is between the wind
and walking
on water? He walked on
water. Listen to this
Let’s say the wind wasn’t
raging, and if there was perfect calm
not even a little stream
of water, Can you walk?
The wind, has nothing to do with it, so
even his reasoning
gets corrupted, Amen
What does the raging wind have
to do with walking on water?
Even in a situation of
absolute calm There is no way
Peter can walk on water
Only way is to look to Jesus for
what gave him the ability to
do supernatural things
To live the life of Jesus
a life from
above above the storm
But when he saw the wind, what
does that mean, that means
he took his gaze away from Jesus,
and he began to sink
he was afraid .
We can say
Reuben went to bed with Bilha,
the fear came, he started to
see the fear, the symptoms and the challenges
bigger than Jesus, and concerning you
today? You can look
at Reuben and say he abdicated his high
position, okay, going
to bed in fear. And about you?
Do you see your
problems bigger than Jesus? Amen
But pastor, I can’t see
any logical sequence,
You’re sinking again
Your head is your biggest
problem and some of
you have a very big one
Don’t trust your head,
your head is your servant,
not your master, Amen, Walk by faith
and faith will always
bring reasoning
after understanding, and
looking back you will say, Thank you Lord
that it happened. Thank you
because I trusted
the Lord, he knows things better.
If you tell a child of 3 or 4 years old,
don’t go there, don’t stay too
close to the water, he says “Why?
and you have to explain the way
the child understands
, okay, and the child says again
Why?
And you have to explain
to him again.
I tell you that
with such a child
the case where a danger arrives
and you shout, “Careful”
Why? How many of you understand
that one must obey easily and
understand later, okay?
obey first, Praise the Lord
Can I have a good Amen?
And God wants us to
be like
children Majority of children
are not like that
” and As he began to sink,
he cried out, “Lord, save me!
” ,
32 “And they got into the
boat, and the wind ceased”
The test is over
the exam mark 50% out of 100%
He came halfway, and the
others said, verily, He is the son of God
Com many of you understand
that he can stop the storm with a
click otherwise. We are
in training on this earth, we
are all in training in
order to rule, we are going to
rule the Universe and even if some
of us do trivial things
, but in fact,
we are called to
be kings and priests
Do you follow? So do
n’t go to sleep in fear
Keep gazing on Jesus
As long as you gaze at him,
you will be transformed into his image.
