Walking on water with Jesus

So, this blog post is focused primarily on faith and how to keep your eyes focused solely on Jesus. In life we have always temptations we face and some try or put our faith in Jesus on trial, and in that we face temptations that make us negate the power of Jesus. You see Peter did the same thing, if we go back to when there was the storm and all the disciples were in the boat and they see Jesus walking out and one of the disciples cried out to Jesus and said "Lord, if that is you call me out to you!" And Peter went out to Jesus walking on water to him, but you see like Peter we always look around and see the waves around us instead of focusing on light which is Jesus in front of us. Faith without works is dead, it's just a future heart attack as I put it. You see faith is the strongest weapon we as christians can obtain that and prayer, when we pray and have faith we see a shift in the situation that we are currently in because we tend to believe and trust in the Lord and everything then works out for our good, it may not be the way we want it but God always makes it work out for our good! I was thinking of the faith Peter had in Jesus and in what the Lord could do! I want to share with you this, when you go through something and we feel as if we just cannot go any farther think of Peter, he started sinking when he took his eyes off the prize and that prize was Jesus! When we take our eyes off the very prize we begin to sink in our own understanding; the bible says this, "Lean not on your own understanding but in all your ways Acknowledge him (Jesus/The father) and he will make your paths straight! I would walk with Jesus then I would see something I would think I could "fix" or make "better" meanwhile my own situation was crashing down I was like the plane in the movie the San Andreas Fault everything comes crashing down around me and I would think and ask "God, why does this keep happening, why is everything crashing down around me?" and I would hear this voice "You took your eyes off me!" Well, if that doesn't make you want to fix your eyes upon Jesus I have no idea what will happen, you need to go do some searching baby! I want you to read this passage of scripture that I think would benefit you because in the light of your faith having struggle I want to remind you that you have power the same power that rose Jesus from the grave, that very same power lives in you so you can walk in victory and wall in this life knowing that death raising power lives in you it takes just the amount of faith as small as a grain of mustard seed, for you to say unto this mountain "Be thou removed and cast into the sea, and have not a doubt in your mind that he WILL do whatever he says!" See it is already done, it is just a matter of you having faith and walking out on the water trusting in Jesus! Read this y'all, I believe when we pick up our cross and we follow Jesus, yes we go through things but we have a weapon that can kick it all back to hell.

Matthew 16:24-28 NKJV

24) Then Jesus said to his disciples, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. 25) Therefore whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26)For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27) For the Son of man (Jesus) will come in the glory of his father with his angels, and then he will reward each according to his works. 28) Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not see death till they see the son of man (Jesus) coming in His kingdom.

Picking up your cross having faith in Jesus is hard yes, because I will tell you everyone will tell you that christians have to live up to a high standard and you know what some of that maybe somewhat true, but really it is the amount of faith you put in Jesus that makes it count doing what the bible says walking in a right standing firm count with the Lord, that what christians mean it means (Christ like) notice at the first of the word Chist-ian Christ, being or walking as christ living and telling of the good news. I would assume that would've been hard for Peter at the end let's look at him chopping a roman soldiers ear off then denying Jesus, he could not live with himself. I think some of get that way when we feel like we have run away from God and he will not let us come back. BABY, that is false he will leave his flock just to find the one, he will leave the 99 and go and find you that is how amazing and loving and abundant his love is for you! I want to leave you with this quote from Reba Mcentire, because I believe it is so relevant here and I want you all to understand how important your faith is!

"Faith is something more than just believing, that's what the good book says!"

~Reba Mcentire

Keep your faith because that is the only thing that will get you through all of life's hard times, focus on Jesus when the storm is raging and feel as if the waves are going to bring you under, remember; that Jesus will and can do more than you and I and or anyone on this planet put together!
