You Too Can Walk on Water

Before you run down to your local river or lake, please listen to the whole message first. It might not be what you are thinking.

Today we are going to discuss how our faith can overcome fear, doubt and negative thoughts. Our thoughts control us whether they are full of faith or negative thoughts of gloom and doom. This is illustrated nicely when Jesus walked on water.

We all know the story, but let’s review. Jesus told the disciples to get into the boat and go to the other side while he got alone with the father to pray.
Midway through the journey, a storm whipped up on the lake, then Jesus appeared to them as a ghost walking on the water. which scared them. Jesus said don’t be afraid, I am here. Peter asked Jesus to invite him onto the water. Peter was doing fine until he saw the size of the waves and then he became fearful and began to sink. He asked Jesus to save him which he did and then Jesus asked him why he doubted due to his lack of faith.
However, it is not necessary to walk on natural water to follow Jesus. His walking on the water is a lesson in spiritual overcoming.
The water we walk on is all our stress, troubles and pain we experience. Jesus said, my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. If your burden doesn’t feel very light today, take out your walking shoes and put that burden under your feet. It’s time to get above all the stuff. The higher God takes you, the smaller the problems appear.

Divine Love vs Human Love Pt. 2
The biggest difference between divine love and human love is human love usually comes with conditions and divine love comes with no conditions. Depending on behavior and circumstances, human love can wane. If your spouse cheats on you or someone you care about uses and abuses you, feelings inside of us change. Whereas God’s love never changes and its not based on you and your behavior. He loves you right where you are. He so loved the world (cosmos). It doesn’t say he only loved a select group.
The key is this, the more of Christ that is formed in us, the more divine love is formed in us.
What do we need to do to have more of Christ formed in us? Spend more time with him. Don’t look at it as a task. I need to pray 1 hour a day and read my Bible 1 hour a day, no, look at it as, sitting down with your best friend and talking and sharing with one another. Make it a fun time, after all he has all the wisdom and knowledge, and you don’t have to pay a fee to get some. Some people are searching in all the wrong places for answers, when our God has all the answers to everything we need. He desires to spend time with us, we should want to spend time with him.

Divine Love vs Human Love Pt. 1
There is a huge difference between divine love and human love.
The word divine means Godlike, having the nature of God.
God is love and love is God.
Paul clearly shows us the difference between divine love vs human love. We are going to go through 10 ways we can evaluate ourselves on how much divine love has been formed in us. This is not a test, so don’t be too hard on yourselves. We all have a way to go, but this will give you thoughts and ideas to discuss with the Lord during your quite prayer time.We are going to break down 1 Cor 13 in the next two weeks.
1 Cor 13/ Many has referred to it as the love chapter.
1. Love is large and incredibly patient. Patience is one of the fruit of the spirit.

Romans 5:3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance (patience).

2. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all.

Hebrews 13:1 No matter what, make room in your heart to love every believer. 2And show hospitality to strangers, for they may be angels from God showing up as your guests.

3. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else.

Rom 12:15

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

4. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance.

Mat. 23:12 But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

5. Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Even Jesus said, I can of mine own self do nothing.
We will begin with number 6, next time.
