A Christian Never Forgets That Jesus Can Do This.

Luke 8:23-24 - But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger. They came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm.
  • He Allows Storms To Come Into Our Lives 
The disciples were in the boat with Jesus. A fierce storm comes upon them while they are in the boat. Four of these disciples were experienced fishermen. This was not the first storm they had ever encountered, but it is so fierce they had given up all hope.
 
They go to Him and say, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" 
 
In other words they are telling Him, we are all going to die. They were frightened by this storm. They were in a panic. 
  • When Jesus Is In Your Boat 
Some Christian make the mistake of thinking that once they have accepted Jesus into their lives every day will be smooth sailing. When Jesus is in your life what this means is your faith will be tested.
 
When Jesus is in your life you must never forget that storms are going to come and threaten you. Some storms may be so severe your thought process says, "Jesus has abandoned you."
 
There isn't anything further from the truth.
 
Once you accept Jesus into your life the devil declares war against you. He is now determined to destroy your faith. One way he does this is by trying to make you believe Jesus doesn't care about you.
 
Jesus not only cares about you. He died for you. 
  • He Can Calm The Storms In Your Life 
Jesus gets up and rebukes the winds and the waves. We must never forget that Jesus is in charge of everything. If He wants the wind and the waves to cease they will cease and in this case they did cease.
 
If He wants your cancer to be gone, it will be gone. The doctors may say, "We can't explain it. This x-ray shows the cancer very clearly and this one shows no cancer."
 
Jesus can calm the storms in your life if you will let Him. 
​
  • Take Aways 
As a Christian you will experience trials while sailing through life with Jesus.
 
As a Christian it will be your faith in Jesus that will get you through the storms of life.
 
As a Christian don't ever forget that Jesus is the one who can rebuke any storm in your life.
 
Think On These:
 
Feed Your Faith and Doubt Will Starve To Death
 
All men need a faith that will not shrink when washed in the waters of affliction and adversity.

Stay Pumped,
