*UNDERSTANDING THE ACTS AND WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST (168)*
Around three in the morning, He came toward them walking on the sea. When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. "It's a ghost!" they said, and cried out in fear. Immediately Jesus spoke to them. "Have courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." "Lord, if it's you," Peter answered Him, "command me to come to You on the water." "Come!" He said. And climbing out of the boat, Peter started walking on the water and came toward Jesus. (Matthew 14:25-29).
These men are not accustomed to seeing such bazaar things. In their little corner of the world people don't just walk on water. This is something completely out of the ordinary and unexplainable. It causes them to be afraid and unable to accept or understand what is taking place right before their eyes. The Lord understand that these men have a finite and limited view of things and in His compassion, He immediately says to them _"Don't be afraid, it is Me."_ Notice though that He offers no explanation for what they just saw.
For an All-powerful and Omnipotent God, walking on water is not unusual behavior. God expects us to move in the same way and with the same attitude of the unusual to be _"usual."_ Peter, the risk taker not only believes that Jesus, God incarnate can do all things even walk on water and rule over the elements of nature, he believes that with God's help and power he too can walk on water. So when he asks Jesus to call him out, it is the same as when we ask God to use us or call us out into ministry. Jesus said "Come" and without hesitation or checking to see if he was ready to do this, Peter stepped out in faith with all abandon, believing that he didn't have to be ready, but only willing.
Too many times we ask for a direction almost in passing. Peter asked and listened. When Jesus said "Come" He was giving Peter permission to explore his freedom in the spirit realm; to jump out of his mundane circumstances and to do the impossible. Notice, God doesn't just sit back and watch us drown, He responds immediately; and if our eyes and ears are on Him, and not the arm of flesh, we are rescued. Peter didn't cry to those in the boat to help him, but to Jesus.
*EXCELLENCE KEY* 🗝️
_When you know that God is speaking to you about a certain act of obedience, take the risk and obey. Step out of your boat._
