Scripture: Matthew 14:24-33; Hebrews 8:8-9

Topic: Faith

Notes:- Jesus walking on water in storm; Peter walked out to meet Him- If you only accept the logical you will never see Jesus- Nothing pleases God except your faith in Him- Miracles happen all the time; it’s not only the fantastic things- What God did for Israel: chose Abraham, lead people into Egypt, 70 grew to 2 million who became slaves... God took them by the hand and led them out- He took us by the hand and led us out. Had to be dragged out of Egypt, but thank God He did it.- Lot... God would not send destruction till he was out- If He leads you out He can lift you up- Disciples saw Jesus on the water and were troubled, cried out in fear- Peter walked out with eyes on Jesus; when your eyes are on Jesus you don’t see anything else- Peter was distracted by the winds and took his eyes off Jesus, feared filled the void of faith and he began to sink- After every spiritual victory there is a sinking- We ought to go to church to get strong- If Peter had stayed in the boat he wouldn’t have a testimony

Topic: Faith

Notes:

- The woman with the issue of blood, desperate to touch His clothes; she knew the scriptures... healing in His wings, the garment’s fringe- There was no miracle working power in the cloth but in the son of righteousness- An unclean woman touched a rabbi: 2 Jewish laws broken yet He healed her- She was healed because of her faith; she believed in the authority of Jesus- She was made whole; body, soul and spirit.- Faith is trust in God; only employed when the situation looks impossible- You’re not chasing Jesus; He already knows you and your condition. Ask, believe and receive

Scripture: Hebrews 12:14-15

Topic: Sin

Notes:- There is no quick fix; we are saved immediately but the rest of our lives we walk by faith, dealing with life, our own shortcomings, emotional distress, relationships...- Don’t believe in deliverance ministries- Living for Jesus is the Holy Spirit working stuff out of you every day- We try to deal with symptoms instead of the root cause- Even Christians can have a root of bitterness... social, racial, relational, personal...- People expect some supernatural miracle but God expects us to deal with it on our knees and in His word- You can have a root of bitterness and not realize it (others can see it)... you become accustomed, this spiritual cancer destroys the real you- The love of God is supposed to be shed abroad in our hearts... to live and love life...

Notes:- The storm has tried to steal your heart, joy, faith; take your heart back- Tempest tossed: doubt, fear, anger, misunderstanding, confusion, weariness... throwing stuff overboard trying to do what they could to survive... all hope gone- We try to do it with our own hands- The God who watched as you were born has held you up and is upholding you now- As long as you have hope, you have faith- God is going to master this storm in your life

Scripture: I Timothy 1:12: Acts9:16: II Corinthians 4:7-12; II Timothy 4:5

Topic: Faithfulness

Notes:- God has put every one of us in a ministry- God has chosen us to suffer for Him- What did Paul glory in? ...the outpouring of the Spirit when he was tested.- God will enable you because people are watching- Bad times are coming for America; this is not a time for complacency- The kingdom of heaven is a kingdom of peace- The nominal churches of America are totally ineffective now; it won’t be the church that will change the atheist or Muslim; it will be the suffering Christian- Max Helms in hospital with wife... there to pray and encourage suffering people- When you prepare by gazing then when the time comes you are able to continue...
