amen now we have a story that
illustrates this in Matthew Matthew 14
the disciples were in the boat and the
boat was now in the middle of the sea
tossed by the waves for the wind was
contrary perhaps there's somebody here
in this service or watching this on
television all right your your life is
right now being tossed by by certain
winds maybe it's Winds of financial
turbulence maybe is the a storm of
sickness that has come into your life
whatever the winds are whatever the
storm is I'm here to tell you at the
midst of the storm look out for Jesus
because the Bible says that the wind was
contrary it was a stormy uh uh day uh
night rather in the sea and now in the
Fourth Watch of the night Jesus went to
them walking on the sea now watch this
in those days they divide the night into
four watchers from 6:00 p.m. to 9900
p.m. first watch 900 p.m. to 12:
midnight second watch 12 midnight to 300
a.m. all right facing you 3:00 a.m. all
right is the Third Watch from 3:00 a.m.
to 6:00
a.m. is the darkest time is always
darkest before Dawn right The Darkest
Hour is the fourth watch in The Darkest
Hour of the disciples lives in your
darkest hour Jesus does not leave you
alone he comes to
you and look at the style in which he
comes
he comes walking on the
sea walking on the sea walking on the
very problem that was that was
threatening to overwhelm them the sea
was threatening all right to overwhelm
the disciples to drown them and he comes
above the sea walking on on the sea
towards them it's like walking on
Satan's hate towards you walking on your
financial trouble towards you walking on
your disease towards you amen and says
yo I'm here here amen walking on your
sickness walking on your depression
Hallelujah the Lord on high is above the
waters
amen hallelujah he does not abandon you
in your darkest hour in the Fourth Watch
he comes to the disciples when the
disciples saw him walking on the sea
they were troubled saying it's a ghost
now that's what happens when you watch
too much too many movies
okay parents I advise you watch the kind
of movies your children are are exposed
to okay make sure you don't s seeds of
horror or fear in their hearts because
once there's a fear in in their hearts
and Minds it's very hard to eradicate
that even when they are adults 40 50 60
years old they still have that fear all
right a mad man will come up with
chainsaw some you know behind the when
there's nothing there okay watch the
image you put in the hearts of your
children okay parents you are the the
priest and the king of the home don't
abdicate your high position all right
saying no to your children will help
your children say no to the
peers learn to say no to your children
it will help your children to learn the
power of no they won't hate you they
won't report you to oprera all right
they won't appear on this talk show
saying my my parents you know you know
said no to me that's why I today I'm
like this depressed you know they won't
turn out like way okay they'll turn out
whole they will turn out complete some
parents are so scared so afraid to say
no to their children your children Need
Your Love they need you to say no
sometimes sometimes they will say my
mother says no actually they they do not
know how to say no to their peers
because you said no they'll say no to
their now they able to say no to their
peers and blame you for it at least you
helping them you understand or
not all
right immediately Jesus spoke to them
saying be of good cheer it is I Be not
Afraid in other words
I am here actually in the Greek it is I
I am literally the name of God at the
burning bush I am don't be afraid I am
blank check what do you need I am I'm
your healing I'm your
financier amen I am your help I am your
Refuge I am your peace I am don't be
afraid the next verse Peter who
else answered him and said said Lord if
it's you command me to come to you on
the
water now Peter one thing good about him
is that he throws reason completely
aside command me to come so Jesus says
come just one word come when Peter had
come down out of the boat he walked on
the water to go to Jesus now Jesus
walking under the water we can say he's
a Son of God but now Peter loud
mouth fisherman Peter is walking on the
water like Jesus to go to Jesus that
means what his eyes is on Jesus Ruben
he's seeing Jesus people say things like
Pastor Prince you talk about seeing
Jesus every week and all that how how is
that practical how is this practical by
looking at Jesus he became like Jesus he
Jesus was above the storm now he's above
the
storm okay he's enjoying the firstborn
blessings by looking at the firstborn
okay but when he saw when Peter saw that
the wind was boisterous that means what
he took his eyes of Jesus he looking at
the wind
now when he saw that the wind was
boisterous he was afraid Reuben he
stopped looking at Jesus and went to bed
with
fear how by starting to look at his
symptoms look at the circumstances look
at grease look at the financial ulans
look at Europe look at all the banks and
problems around the world instead of
looking at
Jesus he abdicated his high position he
went back into
reasoning and when you go back to uh
when you fall back to reasoning even
your reasoning out of fear is not
healthy reasoning watch this he saw the
wind
boisterous what in the world has that
guy to do with walking on the
water he was walking on the water watch
this if the wind wasn't
boisterous and the lake was a perfect
Cal with not even a ripple of water can
you
walk the wind has nothing to do with it
so even his reasoning became
corrupted amen what has the boisterous
wind got to do it walking under water
even in a
calm situation there's no way Peter can
walk on on the water all the while is
looking at Jesus that gives him the
ability to do the
supernatural to leave the life of Jesus
that high life above the storms amen but
when he saw the wind that means what he
took his eyes off Jesus he began to sing
he was afraid so you can say Ruben went
to bed with
BHA fear came in he started to see fear
and the symptoms and the challenges
bigger than Jesus how about you today
all right we can look at Ruben and say
he abated his high position all right by
going to bed with fear how what about
you do you magnify your your problems
bigger than
Jesus amen but Pastor I can't see any
logical way how there you go again your
hate is your biggest problem and some of
you got big ones you
know all right do not turn on your head
your head is your servant not your
master amen go by fa faith and faith
will always bring reason afterwards you
understand you look back say my thank
God man that happened amen thank God I
trusted God God knows the way better if
a a four-year-old or three-year-old you
tell the child don't go here all right
watch it don't go nearby near the water
and I
why and you have to explain in a way the
child understand all right the child
want to say why must explain again I
tell you this a child like that all
right you see some danger coming you
shout Duc why all right next thing you
know how me understand that you got to
have quick obedience understand later
all right obey first amen praise God can
I have a good amen and God wants us to
be childlike okay and most children are
not like this
okay and beginning to sing he cried out
saying Lord save me and the Lord
stretched out his hand and caught him
and said to him oh you of little faith
why did you doubt now watch this when
the they got into the boat the wind
ceas the test is
over
exam 50 over 100 you walk
halfway and they all said truly this is
a Son of God how many understand he can
stop the winds like this if he wants
to we are being
trained you know on this Earth we all
undergoing training for
raining we're going to rule the
universe and some us we settled for
small small things but actually you're
called to be a king called to be a
priest are you with me so don't go to
bed with fear all right keep on looking
at Jesus as long as you keep on looking
at Jesus you be transformed like
him
