Water Walking Disciples (Part 5/6)

When you stay in the boat, everything around you is over your head. When you get out of the boat, everything around you is under your feet. Jesus is calling to you and me as surely as He called out to Peter that night.

“Come on, boy! Attempt the impossible! Get impossible results!”

Do you want to be debt free?

You can be out of debt in a week if you believe God and step out of the boat of manmade possibilities. The first thing you have to do is realize that we were made in God’s image and set here on earth to attempt impossible things, to do impossible tasks, and to bring to pass impossible results.

That’s the truth. We’re here to do the impossible.

Everything God has ever told me to do in my ministry was impossible.

Whatever He has called you to do is impossible, too, unless you step out of the boat.

I want you to notice something. Peter was walking on water by faith. Yet the minute his faith failed, he sank. The results of your faith will not last one moment beyond your faith.

But that’s not the end of the story.

The next statement after Peter sank was, “And immediately.”

Look at verse thirty-one again: “And immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?”

When Peter’s faith failed and when Peter’s faith-results failed, he cried out to God, and immediately Jesus’ faith caught him. Isn’t that good news? When you come to the end of your own faith, call out to God. Jesus will keep you from sinking, too.

This is my philosophy in life. When Jesus says, “Come.” He intends for you to come all the way, not part of the way. Once you understand our Covenant, you’ll realize that there is nothing partway about it. All you have to do is link up to the Friend who sticks closer than a brother.

I’ve told employees as much. “You’ve got a job,” I said. “I didn’t say you have a job for a year. You’ve got a job. Hook yourself up to this train- we’re moving forward.”

That doesn’t mean we won’t have mountains to climb.

What if we slip?

We’ll climb back up.

I can guarantee you that we’re going over, not under.

Grace is an amazing thing. God will give you not only the grace to go through a bad spot, but He’ll give you the grace to go beyond it. If you don’t think so, just cry out to God. Immediately, Jesus will pick up the slack.
