STEPPING INTO THE SUPERNATURAL
The
Lord gave me a revelation this week that I would like to share with
you. We are all familiar with the story in the book of Matthew about
Jesus walking on the water. As the disciples were in a boat in the
middle of the sea, high waves and a tempestuous wind arose causing great
turbulence. Jesus came to them walking on the water. When they had seen
Him they greatly feared thinking that He was a ghost. Immediately Jesus
said “Be of good cheer. It is I; do not be afraid.” Peter replied, “Lord if it is You, bid me to come to You, walking on the water". Jesus said, “come”.
Peter
started to walk on the water, but then began to sink when he observed
the raging wind and waves. He then called out to Jesus to save him, and
Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. Jesus said; Oh you of little
faith, why did you doubt?” When they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
This caused those who were in the boat to worship Jesus, saying, "Truly
You are the Son of God. “In the natural it is impossible to walk on
water but because Jesus invited Peter, he would have been able to do so
if he didn’t fear.
Peter
was the apostle whom Jesus called a “rock” but he later on denied
Jesus. Peter was the only apostle who ran to the tomb of Jesus after the
women went back with reports of Jesus body being resurrected. He took
the linen cloths and left marveling to himself what had happened. He
eventually moved on to become one of the greatest apostles in history.
He was once chained and thrown into prison but God sent an angel to
release him. The chains fell off his hands and the angel led him out and
opened the Iron Gate that leads to the city.
In
the book of Acts many were healed as they brought the sick to him on
beds and couches and even his shadow healed the sick. Multitudes came to
him and were saved through his ministry. The Lord took him into trances
and visions. One time he went into a trance and saw a huge sheet with
all types of animals. Peter also wrote the two letters in the New
Testament 1 Peter and 2 Peter which encourages us to live a holy life.
Just
as Jesus invited Peter to walk on water, He is also inviting you to
lead you into a journey of the supernatural realm. The reason why some
of you are not experiencing the supernatural in your life is because you
have fear of the things that are coming against you. That very thing
that you are battling will become your greatest testimony.
Some
of you have taken your eyes off Jesus, therefore you are not walking in
the promises that He has provided for you. We are living in a time when
Jesus is inviting us into supernatural encounters. Jesus will prove His
undeniable power on your behalf as you submit to Him. The gifts of the
Holy Spirit are going to be so evident in this season.
Some of you will sense the presence of God as you are reading this to confirm His word.
Some
of you will receive the gift of discerning of spirits. Your spiritual
senses will be activated as you begin to discern spiritual atmospheres
around you. Some of you will be reading the word and you will instantly
receive revelation of a scripture. Some will be praying and as you wait
on the Lord, He will answer. For those who are asking for revelation,
His word will soon become alive to you.
Many
of you are going to become tuned to His voice throughout the day. You
will recognize when Hes speaking and be able to understand His ways. You
will know the authority that He has entrusted to you as you are seated
with Christ in heavenly places. You will be able to discern His voice
from your own thoughts, motives and intentions. The Lord is inviting you
to come and walk on the water with Him. Do not fear but only believe.
Matthew 14: 29 - 32
So
He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he
walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was
boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying,
"Lord, save me!" And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught
him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" And
when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. Then those who were in the
boat came and worshiped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God."
1 Corinthians 2:14
But
the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for
they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned.
2 Corinthians 4: 18
While
we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which
are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the
things which are not seen are eternal.
Praise the Lord.
