6 Steps To Take When Going Through Hard Times: Step 6

6.Once Again, Have Faith
In Conclusion I would like to turn to Matthew 8:23 - 26
24 And, behold there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish
26 And he saith unto them Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
- notice in verse 24 Jesus was sleep in the midst of the storm. While the waves were crashing and pressing up against the ship Jesus had peace. Peace knowing that the Father was with Him.
- verse 25 describes how we are, in the storm we come running to Jesus saying that it's too hard, that it's going to kill us. Giving the storm more power then it actually has.- verse 26 Jesus asks why are you fearful?
- Why are you afraid, don't you know that I'm in this ship with you and my Father with me. Where is your faith in a time like this? How did you let the storm cause you to fear?
- then Jesus rebuked the wind and the sea.- Jesus said O yea of little faith because he knew that the disciples could have rebuked the wind if they believed. He knew the power that they had inside of them.
- the Bible says (talking about Jesus works)these works and greater shall you do. We have the power to rebuke the storms as they arise in our life. we have so much power that's locked inside of us. We must speak with authority and with power that God gave to us. Satan the Lord rebukes thee!!!Stay encouraged and know that Satan meant it for bad, but I'm so glad God meant it for OUR GOOD!!! Amen, Hallelujah, Good Night!
