Commit This to Memory!

Romans 4:17

v.17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him who believed – God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.

Today I am doing something a little different. I believe that we all can receive the word in faith but if we don’t know certain scriptures that pertain to our situation it can make it a little difficult. It is hard to stand on the something when you don’t know what you are standing on. Think about it, if an acrobat came to you and was telling you about how they walked, jumped, and ran on the very thin balancing beam and asked you to get on there, would you? No you wouldn’t, because no matter how excited they were, you couldn’t trust it because you had not experienced it for yourself. Those acrobats know the tricks of the trade. They have practiced continually. They know what will make them fall and what will make them walk across the beam successfully. It is the same with the word of God. Well here are some scriptures to overcome some of your battles.

                                                              ON FAITH:               

I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:8

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but is shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

For I am watching over My word to perform it. Jeremiah 1:12

For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; Ezekiel 12:25

For no promise of God can fail to be fulfilled. Luke 1:37

ON FINANCES:

Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee. Deuteronomy 16:17

Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. II Chronicles 20:20b

Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be. Job 8:7

If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in contentment. Job 36:11

If riches increase, set not your heart upon them. Psalm 62:10b

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name: bring an offering, and come into His courts. Psalm 96:8

Here are just a few scriptures and all this week will be scriptures pertaining to different situations. Be blessed today and remember commit this to memory. (Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established. Proverbs 16:3)

Walking On Water

Matthew 14:29

"And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus"

Prayer

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus bless those who have connected here and need to walk on the water. You have designed for us to be able to walk on the water and to come to You. Help us to see you in everything. Help us to include you in everything. Help us to seek You in everything. We need Your help because we cannot walk on the water on our own. Hold us by the right hand. Lead us to You. Show us every step of the way. As we walk on the water, cause us not to be afraid ans you said for us not to be afraid. Cause us to be obedient to You when you say "come". Cause us to follow every instruction. Cause us to cast fear to the side and help us to move forward. Don't let us sink and don't let us drown. Give us the strength to get out of the boat in the name of Jesus. Let us not worry about what people say nor what they do. Just cause US to get out of the boat in the name of Jesus. Father, we humble ourselves before You asking for Your help to carry out Your will for our lives; all inclusive. Truly, we give You the praise right now and praise You even more when we Walk On Water, in Jesus name we pray. Amen

Sermon

This is going to be short and sweet. As I received this word this morning while watching Bishop Paul Morton on youtube talking about getting out of the boat, God began to minister to me with more revelation. I've read this story many times and every time there is a new revelation. What most people do not preach about concerning this story is that there was a reason, a purpose for Peter's walking on the water. He wanted to see if it was really Jesus. Previously, they said it was a ghost and was frightened but Jesus told them who he was and not to be afraid. Once that was said, Peter questioned Jesus. He said, "Lord, if it is you then bid me to come." Jesus proved himself to Peter. Jesus had to prove who he was. Mere words wasn't enough for Peter. He wanted to know, that he knew. Jesus didn't argue with him nor did he accuse Peter of lack of faith. Jesus saw this as an opportunity to prove who He is while encouraging Peter to do something that he'd never done. HALLELUJAH! I hope you got that because I sure did! Don't let anyone make you feel guilty about asking God or even Jesus himself  about proving who He is because He sees opportunity. Any time Jesus sees an opportunity to make His father's name great in the earth, He does it without question. 

There has to be a reason for your "coming". There has to be a purpose for you to walk on water. What is your purpose? What is your reason? As we see, Jesus told Peter...he told Peter to do it. God has given you instruction. Have you asked Him to reaffirm that it was Him? Has He told you to come and you are still in the boat? What will it take for you to get out of the boat? Will it take a boisterous storm? God forbid! The only time Jesus questioned Peter's faith in this scenario was when Peter began to sink because of the boisterous wind. That's not the time to sink. That's the time to believe in the One who proved Himself to you just moments before. In closing, Jesus has bid you to come...will you?

If you have said yes, then sign your name below or Facebook me your name and I will put it on here. All who is on here will be held accountable to their yes. God is going to manifest but our "yes" has to be manifested first. This will be the prayer page. If you have a prayer that you want to pray or a word (given by God) that you want to give then either Facebook or email me and I will place it on this page. We want to hear testimonies, hard times, struggles, and good reports. That is the only way we are going  to hold each other accountable. If one is having a hard time or a struggle another one can pray and give encouragement. 

Have a blessed day in the Lord!
