Why Jesus Walking On Water Is More Important Than You Think

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Did you know that Jesus walking on water is more than just a display of divine power? 

This well-known event carries an underlying message that can aid you in elevating your faith.

Often, when we think about Jesus walking on water, we marvel at the spectacle itself.

However, a deeper look into this event reveals a remarkable interaction between Jesus and His disciple Peter.

An interaction that underscores a fundamental truth about faith and our focus.

When Peter sees Jesus walking on the water, he is compelled by his faith to join Jesus. 

Filled with fervor and trust, Peter steps out of the boat and starts walking on the water towards Jesus. For a brief moment, Peter defies the natural laws just like Jesus.

But then something occurs that alters everything.

Peter shifts his focus from Jesus to the fierce wind around him. Fear creeps in, and doubt replaces his initial faith. As a result, he starts to sink.

This moment is essential for our faith.

Peter began by walking on water, an impossible feat, but lost this ability the moment he let fear and doubt cloud his faith.

What can we glean from this mighty instance?

It is a clear reminder for us that our focus determines our reality.

When Peter was focused on Jesus, he was able to walk on water.

But right when his focus shifted to the wind around him, he began to sink.

In our journeys, we often face stormy seas and strong winds. 

Problems arise, difficulties occur, and we may feel like we’re being tossed around in a relentless storm.

During such times, where is our focus? Are we fixated on our concerns, or are we focusing on Jesus, our source of support and salvation?

Just as Peter was able to walk on water by keeping his eyes on Jesus, we too can overcome our challenges by focusing on Him.

He is our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer.

When we look to Him, our fears dwindle, our faith strengthens, and we find the courage to face our storms.

Jesus walking on water is more than a testament to His divine power.

It is a lesson about the importance of keeping our gaze fixed on Him during tough times. 

The storm around us may be terrifying,

But the Savior before us is infinitely more formidable.

May this profound understanding guide us through our journey, and aid us in navigating our personal storms with unwavering faith and focus on Jesus.

A Necessary Reminder To Christians

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

I look around lately, and I am disappointed.

Disappointed in how the media is always talking about doom and gloom…

Disappointed in how pessimistic everyone has become…

And disappointed in how people have forgotten that their lives are a gift from God.

As Christians, we have to remind everyone (and ourselves) that no matter how bad things might seem, we always have things to be grateful for.

We are blessed with the love and grace of God, and that alone is something to keep us going. 

We have a purpose and a plan, and we can trust that God is guiding us on our journey. 

As the Bible tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I am conscious of my thoughts about you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope at the end..”

We also have the gift of salvation, which will forever give us hope.

As the Bible tells us in Romans 10:9, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” 

We have the ability to forgive and be forgiven.

We have food to eat, a roof over our heads, and the love and support of our family and friends.

It’s easy to take these things for granted, but when we pause to reflect on them, we realize how truly blessed we are.

It’s important to remember that we are not alone in our struggles. God is always with us and He is in control.

He has a plan for our lives and we can trust that He will see us through any hardship.

So, let’s take a moment to give thanks for the blessings in our lives. 

Say it with me:

“Thank you, Lord, for everything you have given me.”

Let’s be grateful for the small things, as well as the big things. 

And let’s be a light in this world, proving good morale and support in these trying times.

Say This Prayer To Acquire Abundance (Takes 30 Seconds)

Matthew 7:7 says “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

The Lord helps those who ask for help.

When we are faced with difficulties, we should always seek guidance.

God knows what’s best for us.

But it’s up to us to reach out to Him and receive His gracious help.

If you want to acquire wealth and prosperity, then before you do anything else, you should first ask for it.

Let us say this prayer together:

“Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You in humble gratitude for the blessings and provisions You have given me. I acknowledge that everything I have comes from You, and I am deeply thankful for Your love and generosity.

I ask, Lord, that You guide me in making wise decisions, and help me to be a faithful steward of the resources You have entrusted to me.

Teach me to prioritize Your Kingdom and to use my wealth for Your glory. Let me be a channel of Your blessings, sharing Your love and goodness with those around me.

I claim Your promises of abundance and prosperity, trusting that You will provide for my needs according to Your riches in glory. Help me to walk in faith and obedience as I seek to align my actions with Your plans and purposes.

Amen.”

You might be wondering, why does this prayer work? 

There is nothing special about it

Anyone could have thought of it.

But that’s the point!

It’s not what you say.

It’s how you feel when you say it.

The key lies in the goodness in our hearts.

When we pray with sincerity, faith, and gratitude, we make ourselves receptive to the blessings He has in store for us.

This prayer works as a tool to remind us that God is our provider and that we should be faithful stewards of His resources.

God’s ways are higher than ours, and His timing is flawless.

Sometimes, the blessings may not come in the way we expect or when we expect them, but God always knows what’s best for us.

We must always remain grateful for the blessings He bestows upon us. 

Cultivate a heart of thankfulness for everything that God has given you.

And you’ll find that your faith and trust in Him will grow, paving the way for the miraculous to take place.

May your prayers lead to abundant blessings.
