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!
