Faith that gets you to the other side
Do you have a mandate from God on your life? Has He told you to “get into the boat and cross over to the other side?” (See Mark 4)
The disciples were obeying the Lord when they ended up in the midst of a dangerous storm. This was after a full day of parables on…. FAITH. Faith that bears fruit, faith that grows, faith that shines out. And now they’re full of thoughts that they’re going to perish while accepting God’s mandate to “cross over.”
Did they not understand the authority that comes with the mandate? Couldn’t THEY just as easily have spoken to the wind and waves and calmed the storm?
If God’s spoken a word to you, the only way you’re going to carry it out - without it turning into some humanistic “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” kind of thing - is to have faith that bears fruit and a firm belief that if the Father has spoken, He has also given the equipping and authority to get the job done.
Today - believe again - and cross over to the other side. - Laura Woodworth
