![]() Matthew 14:28-33NKJV And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”Ģ9 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. I’ll follow you, I’ll walk on some water with you!” It’s your faith that pleases God! It’s when you take your misplaced values, and even your good old fashion horse-sense, your knowledge, your intellect, and place it at the altar of God, and speak boldly with confidence-“God, I’ll trust you. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who passionately seek him. For before he was translated to the heavenly realm his life had become a pleasure to God.Ħ And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. By his faith, Abel still speaks instruction to us today, even though he is long dead.ĥ Faith translated Enoch from this life and he was taken up into heaven! He never had to experience death he just disappeared from this world because God promoted him. ![]() 3 Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen.Ĥ Faith moved Abel to choose a more acceptable sacrifice to offer God than his brother Cain, and God declared him righteous because of his offering of faith. 2 This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. Listen to, Hebrews 11:1-6TPT Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. Refuse to be moved by a few bitter unmotivated people-Say yes to God! ![]() In other words, Jesus speaks, fear not, be of good cheer! The Greek words-Be of good cheer mean, “to pull up your spirit!” Matthew 14:27NKJV But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I do not be afraid.” Fear will always give you a front row seat. They cried out for fear-Fear wants to be first seat, front row. Jesus’ disciples had been out in the sea for quite a while now, the fourth watch would be 4-6AM, they were frighted and tired from rowing in this long storm. 26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. Matthew 14:25-26NKJV Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. You ever gotten in the middle of something and everything goes wrong? We all have. Matthew 14:24NKJV But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. Remember this word, “When you’re in prayer you’re never alone.” Jesus’ prayer life is seen by men from the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5, 6 and chapter 7, and John chapter 17, just to name a few. God’s word say’s in verse 23b, “When evening came He was alone in prayer.” In Matthew 14, Jesus takes a young lads lunch and divinely multiples it to feed 5,000 men, let alone women and children.Īnd then we read in Matthew 14, that Jesus compels His disciples to get into a boat and to cross to the other side, While Jesus goes by Himself, and prays up in the mountains. And Elisha Otis pronounced, all safe, ladies and gentlemen. Then Otis, who had positioned and axman above the elevator, cued hi-to cut the rope! He stood on an elevator platform hoisted high enough for everybody in the exhibition hall to see him. Otis was the inventor of the safety elevator break, but he was having a hard time selling his idea to safety-first-skeptics. This is also where a man named Elisha Otis pulled off one of the most remarkable stunts in the history of the Worlds Fair. This is where the latest and greatest inventions were showcased. The organizers built a beautiful exhibition Hall called the Crystal Palace. In 1853, America hosted its first Worlds Fair in New York City.
