Power Available - Prayer | Pastor Julian

You're listening to a message to go from ex Church.

We hope this message will light up your tea.

I'll start this morning by by telling a short story

which relates to what I'm about to share from the

Word of God today. So, so last last week, I

was I was planning to go exercise for a workout

right in the gym. So there's a small little gym

in my housing area. And as I as I walked

in the doors of the gym, first of all, I

felt it was really hot, right, kind of like how

this holidays. I mean, you're sitting right in front as

I felt like it was really hot and uh and

and I noticed like three three people sitting.

On the floor.

They look like they were there to service the air

conditioning system, right. And then there was another guy on

the treadmill working on He was like sweating profusely because

he was really hot. And I was like, this is

going to be an uncomfortable, uncomfortable workout for me this afternoon.

Uh So, so as I walk in the room, there

were ladders here.

And then I presume that this three men were there

to service the aircn and therefore the acorn wasn't working, right,

I just presumed that, assumed that, and I then proceeded

to start my exercise, my workout as they call it. Yeah,

And I was thinking, like, oh man, it's going to

be a really uncomfortable thirty to forty minutes. I was

going to do Lake's workout, which I normally was sweat

a lot and like not looking forward to it, and

so I just just proceeded to my first exercise, right uh.

And then I thought after that, like, canobila this not right?

I don't want to spend the next half an hour

in like a hot and humid environment when there's like

acorn in the room. So so I just went and

asked the tree workers that morning, like excuse me, can

I turn on the acorn?

Right?

And then they said, yes, you can't turn on the

air con in Bahasa And I was like okay. And

then the other guy working on the tram was like

he just turned and said turn on all the air cones.

I'm like, yeah, okay, it's that proceeded to turn on

all four air cons in the room, and the whole

time I was thinking, like everyone was in the room,

it was so uncomfortable.

The air cons were there ready to be used.

The guy that was working on was like sweating profusely,

and he probably wanted the aircon to be on. So

just that all four of us in the room or

five of us were like thinking, or maybe the ECT

is not working that I shouldn't on. Then the tree

workers there, we're thinking maybe like oh am, I love

to turn on the accon here and unresting, and they're

like fasting, you know.

Uh so when to throw on the econ?

Right?

When I throw a econ?

And and my my point is this, there are times

in our life right where all the power is there,

the resources is there available in the room to change

the atmosphere of our life, to change the direction of

our life.

Right, it's there, just that no one asked, No one asked, and.

And what if God says this, right, you know, in

we just go just jump to the first verse this

morning James, chapter four. Yet you don't have what you

want because you don't ask God for it. Yeah, you

don't have what you want because you don't ask God

for it. And even when you ask, you don't get

it because your motives are all wrong. You want only

what will give you pleasure. Right, So that afternoon, in

that small little room for five grown men sitting around

in hot humidity is suffering and the only difference is

just someone just said, excuse me, excuse me, sir, Can

I turn on the air coord please? And that completely

changed the hour after that. Right, So today we're gonna

talk about prayer. And my title for today is this

power available. There is power available. There is power available

in our lives. That's power available as sons and daughters

of God. There is supernatural supernatural works waiting on the

other side of prayer. There is breakthrough, there is healing,

there is restoration, there is forgiveness on the other side

of prayer and fasting. And sometimes we fall under the

category of just living in a situation where God did

not intend us for us to be in with the

only step that's a hit for us to overcome, and

that step is prayer, prayer, prayer and fast thing.

So we look into prayer this morning.

It's getting a bit quiet here, I don't know why.

Turn on the aircons where?

And we look into the word of God in just

very simple, very very simple verses of very straightforward verses

of what the Bible teaches us about prayer and fasting.

As we approach these twenty one days of prayer and fasting.

So I read one verse earlier James chapter four, which

you can you have seen, and then you know I

I want to say that prayer is often the vehicle

that drives God's power in our lives. Prayer is often

that vehicle that drives God's power in our lives. Prayer

is often the means by which God's will is done.

We pray just now God's will be done, His kingdom

Come ya, will be done on earth as it is

in heaven. That's what Jesus taught us to pray right

in the model prayer, the Lord's prayer. Prayer is the

means by which God's will is done. So the question

is today this morning, like have I been praying?

Have I been praying enough? Right? When should I pray?

How do I pray? And those are just.

Some some questions which I ask myself. Also is like

do I pray enough? I think the answer, probably for

all of us, is like, actually, we could be praying more,

We could be praying more. So before we go into that,

let me show you a let me sure a slight.

The next light? Is it this one?

No?

Before this? The you turn after this. Okay, I don't

know why it's not there.

But uh so okay, so you turn is coming up.

Actually had a side of about you turn. Okay, we

are going through praying fasting this morning.

Right. So in ex church we call it you turn.

You know what's a EU turn? Right?

So if you're alsie, you call it ui. All the

blokes in here, a U turn is when you're going

one direction but you are going the wrong direction and

you need to make a U turn right, So we

call it uten.

Why do we call it uten?

It's a time where we intentionally set aside time to reflect,

examine ourselves, repent, and turn back to God in any

areas of our lives. That's why we call it uten. Right,

So let's just stop here all.

Before I go into praying. Okay, uh this morning?

And they shod a really good devotion in our leader's

devotion and he says something very interesting like if you

go to Australia, they ask you, they ask you, how

are you how?

How do you say it? How are you made right?

How do they do it? How's it going? Mate? And they

say that as a form of greed.

Thing like like how we say hello, have you eaten right,

or in Malaysia we normally say that right, and and

then and then Australia when they say how are you made,

they don't they don't intend to hear how are you doing?

They just say. It's a form of a greeting.

So they will say how are you mate, and then

you want to respond, They turn around, They're like, I

was about to tell you how my day you went,

what I ate for breakfast?

Why you turn your back at me?

And and I I think this is why we need

to use ten right, because sometimes our back are.

Turned against God.

Maybe not completely, but some parts of your life or

my life has my back turned against God. So how

can God communicate or connect with me when my back

is facing him?

Right?

When I'm when I'm like disciplining my kids, which happens

more often than not nowadays, they will sometimes I just

look away or they will slowly inch some like scolding them. Right,

I'm not schooling, I'm disciplining them. I'm telling them the

reason why they did wrong and how they can do better,

and what the word of God says in this situation

in his life.

Then they'll be like looking at me and you look down.

Then they'll like start to like fiddle with something on

the path.

Then they're like turning away.

Then I'll say, you don't want the three names of

my boys leave By Michael Jaden, Look at me, turn

look into my eyes.

I'm talking to you. I'm not done talking to you.

And then they connectin and then they're like theory. The

thing is if if you have your back turn against

someone that you're trying to communicate with, is very hard

to communicate, right, So if you have fighting with your

spouse and then they're like they turn on the bait

to the other side, it's communication, right. I don't want

to listen to you now. Now it's not the time

to communicate or connect. So can I say that in

the next twenty one days, we don't do that to God.

Let us you turn back face this creator, our God,

face Jesus, every part of our lives right, look him

in the eyes. Pay attention to what he's saying. Pay

attention to what the Holy Spirit is saying. With the

intention of what someone Tree nine says to to examine

our hearts, right to search me or God? Is there

any anxious thoughts? Is there anything in my life that

makes you offended pointed out to me, lead me along

the path everlasting. So that is what you turn is

from yesterday until Good Friday, Right, that is our focus.

We look at our lives.

Maybe God is speaking to you about specific habit that

you have that doesn't please him. You know that that

doesn't see it right away of God. But I just

turned that part away from God, like maybe he he

won't see that, right. Or maybe it's a lack of prayer.

Maybe it's anger. Yeah, your emotional back turn against God.

Maybe you need healing.

Right, even that healing or that sickness needs to bow

in the name of Jesus and it will not let

its back be turned against the savior of the world.

You will come under the sovereign power of Jesus. So

that's what eton is. If you haven't started yesterday, Twoday's

a good day to start or tomorrow. We want to pray,

we want to fast, We want to turn our eyes

back to Jesus, look him in the eyes, and let

him transformers over the next twenty one days.

Amen. Okay, So oh it's there.

Yeah, yeah, okay, So that's the Slash show on the

show just about U turn.

As we go on to the Word of God this morning. Okay.

So before I start about prayer and fast thing, let

me do a quick definition of just what it is

to me. Okay, So what prayer is and what fast

thing is? So prayer to me, it's very simple. It's

connecting with God.

Okay.

Prayer is connecting with God. You know when the disciples

ask Jesus how to pray. There's also the model pray

that we have in Matthew chapter six, the Lord prayer.

But essentially prayer is connecting with God. So it could

be direct conversational conversations you have with with Jesus, communion

that is very intimate connection you have with with Him,

between us and God. So in some models you can

see the word acts x adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplications. Right,

So that's the thing that you want to do when

you're actually praying. Can actually just pray the model prayer

like I often do that almost every day. Just pray

to the model prayer and as you go through you're

following the model of what Jesus gave us. But essentially

prayer is just connecting with God.

Okay. And fast thing fast thing is giving up food.

So there's food there involved or other things can be

social media can be Netflix, can be sugar or something

you give up something to focus on seeking God, thrue prayer. Okay,

so we went through this in homes. Won't go through

in detail, but not just to start. Let's set these

definitions in place. So this morning, I'm talking about the

availability of power that is in our lives for all

of us through Jesus, right, and how do we tap

into that power of prayer?

How do we tap into that power of prayer? I

have three easy.

Easy points this morning, which is A, B and C

for tapping onto the power of prayer today. Okay, Uh,

so let's get into it.

The first A.

Is always always always. It means continuously, continually, constantly without seizing.

So we know in first Tessalonians five seventeen, or we

can actually just go into the verse right now one

Testonians five seventeen, it says this. It has two of

the shortest versus in a Bible, alongside Jesus webb, which

is rejoice always, pray, continually, give thanks in all circumstances,

for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

So you're gonna memorize two verses today rejoice always. Number two,

pray continually. Some versions say pray without ceasing, give thanks

in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you,

for you in Christ Jesus.

Wow.

So the first point is always pray, continually, pray without ceasing.

What does that mean. Let's go to another verse verse.

We can go to Ephesients chapter six. So these verses

are after the encouragement by the armor of God. Right,

we see this, and pray in the spirit on all

occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

Pray in the spirit on.

All occasions, always, with all kinds of prayers and requests.

With this in mind, be alert and always keep on

praying for all the Lord's people.

Right.

So we see in the Bible there's this encouragement to us,

to all of us, that we must pray continually, we

must pray without ceasing, we must pray always. Okay, how

do we do that? How do we do that? Eight

hours in the day. I'm like sleeping, can be praying

when I'm sleeping, right, Or maybe you know someone that

talks a lot ah NonStop. The guys always talking can

be a bit annoying. How do we pray always? I

will I will suggest that that as a foundation of prayer.

Right, It's about relationship.

Okay, So this concept of praying constantly, praying without seizing,

praying continuously, praying always is a reflection of our relationship

with Christ.

Okay.

You know in John chapter fifteen, the verse about being fruitful, Right,

what does he say, abide in me? If you abide

in me and my words abide in you, you will

ask what you desire and it shall be done for you.

So that illustration that Jesus gave was we are the

branch and he's the true vine.

Right.

Can you imagine like a branch connected to a main tree,

and the branch.

Is constantly connected.

We remove the branch, then the branch will eventually die, right,

So the branch is always connected, always abiding, always being there,

constantly being connected to the true vine. And that's what

Jesus was trying to tell us, right when we yes,

pray is very important. But the foundation of pray actually

stems from our relationship with Christ.

Right.

And when you're in relationship with someone, there's a constant connection,

there's a constant uh, there's a constant connection with them, right,

there's a constant understanding of I know, okay, I know

what Laura likes, right, I know that she has the preferences.

I know what she's doing today.

I know that she's serving on ex kids or on

a Monday, she'll be here.

I mean, not be.

Communicating with her constantly, but I am constantly connected to her, right,

especially when we're going through good times, right, and when

there's like valleys, then maybe the connection a bit a

bit fuzzy, a bit fuzzy which happen with us and

God let me walk with him, right. But our role

is to always try and maintain the best possible connection

with Christ.

Right.

So this this comes from a few things which I

would like to propose to you this morning. But understand

that the foundation of prayer, and when when the Bible

teaches us in the First Thessalonians five seventeen to pray continuously,

to pray without seizing what the Bible is talking about,

it starts with our relationship with Christ. Right, Because when

we understand who God is, when we're connected to him,

we can also pray according to his to his will.

We can pray according to his word. And then what

you ask you will receive. Okay, So that what that

that is what A stands for always? And but how

do I do that practically? And how do I motivate

myself to do that practically? The first thing is Jesus

tells us to have child like faith, right, to have

child like faith. And if if you've ever been with

a child before, like now we have. We have one child, Jaden,

which is uh, which is for this year, turning for

this year.

And and the thing about Jaden, right is every morning.

When he wakes up, he'll be like, you know, want

the first words to come out with his mouth, where's mommy? Yeah,

where's mommy? Where's And he's still in the same room

as us, so so sometimes when Laura's not there in

the morning, then he like, Mommy's not.

Here, where's mommy? Daddy? Wake up? Where's mommy? Uh? This

morning was quite funny.

I woke up early, you're still dark that I wanted

to creep out the room to go downstairs and prepare.

Then I heard a little voice say, dirty Diddy, Uh,

where are you going? I want dirty? I'm like, oh man,

this is my time. I dropped my laptop and I went.

Then I hug.

Him, but yeah, but there's this there's child like faith

is is knowing that you cannot survive without the parent, right,

It's not being childish.

Childish is like, oh, don't get what I want. That

like mutual at tantrum.

But child like faith is this complete dependency on the parent,

and the older you get, right, the less you have

of that, which is kind of normal.

I don't go to my dad, I don't wacome in

the morning. Is it, oh my mom, mommy, where are you? Know?

If you just grow up in maturity as we grow.

But the faith should still be childlike. The faith should

still be like what Jayden goes through in the morning.

When I wake up in the morning, I'm not going

to think like, man, this is my day. I do

what I want, I go where I want, I say

what I want. But the posture I have in my

faith in the morning is like God, I need you.

Where are you? God? I need you in my life today?

And yes, you have given me the gifts the abilities

to provide for myself and my family, but I still

need you. And we pull ourselves into that position and

posture of being a child of God in needing him.

It's very important in prayer. It's very important in prayer.

So how do we pray continuously? How do we pray always?

Need to remember to have childlike faith okay, which means

having total reliance on God.

Okay.

Praying continually shows our dependence on God always. Praying continually

shows our dependence on God always. We need God continually.

We should not become arrogant and think we can live

life independent of God. We should not become arrogant and

think we can live life independent of God, because what

I find is every time I reach that place, God

will start to pull me back and show me like

it is not the right direction to go. You know,

you need to rely on me. That's what the Israelites

went through right when they were when they receive breakthrough

out of Pharaoh and and the of that people's group

Pharaoh and the Egyptians right and they were, they were

taught by God to rely on on on God every

day the manner every day there was the cloud by

day and the pillar of fire by night on a

daily basis, so that they would train to rely on

God on a daily basis.

Childlike faith. That's how we pray continuously.

Number two is we need to remember that God is

the center of every.

Part of my life. Okay.

God is the center of every part of my life,

and that's why I pray continually. So there is no

compartment in my life without God. There is no compartment

in my life without God, and the awareness of God's

presence in my life at every moment makes me live

my life to the fullness.

As a child of God.

He must be part of every major decision in our lives,

and that's why we pray. God must be part of

every major decision in our lives. So there's no part

of my life with should be protected for myself. But

to pray continually, I need to first of all, have

childlike faith in my total dependence on Him and knowing

that every part of my life is visible to Him

and I want Him to be part of it.

Okay, So how do we tap onto the power of prayer?

First point A always be breakthrough. Breakthrough and this is

where we really need prayer.

Right, So, if you're in a situation of hopelessness, or

when you need victory, you need healing for a relationship,

or I feel like you're stuck. You know, sometimes in

life you feel like we're stuck. That is when we

need to tap onto the power of prayer and ask

God for a breakthrough.

So, do you believe that our God is a.

God of breakthrough, a God of miracles, a God that

can make away? Do you believe that our God Jesus

is a God of breakthrough, a God of miracles, and

a God that can make away in your lives? We

need to first believe that. If yes, then we go

to him in prayer. In there's two scriptures here. Let's

go through Mark chapter nine. Mark chapter nine, verse twenty nine.

It says this. If you remember this story in context,

it was about a dad who wanted to He brought

his son to the disciples of Jesus, and he had

a demon in him right, and he couldn't talk, he

was mute, and the disciples couldn't cast out the demon,

and so.

And so they brought him.

To Jesus and Jesus prayed over him, cast out the demon,

and the boy was healed immediately. And the disciples then

asked Jesus, why couldn't we cast out the demon? And

Jesus responded with this, So you say to them, this

kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting. Right,

this kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.

Prayer and fasting was the answer to this boy's breakthrough. Okay,

so just partner there for a while. We go to

the next verse, verse Matthew seven to seven. This is

the amplified version, and I like them five version because

he says, ask and keep on asking, and you will

be given to you. Seek and keep on seeking, and

you will find Knock and keep on knocking, and the

door will be open to you. There is breakthrough on

the other side of prayer and fasting. So let's go

through Mark nine.

First.

Why did Jesus say this kind can come out by

nothing but prayer and fasting?

Right? Indeed, the boy had break through.

The boy received this answer, the boy's life was completely changed.

Jesus also said.

That there was unbelief and faith as well, and that

that in fact, asked Jesus to help him believe.

So why is this verse here?

You know, it isn't that prayer and fast thing makes

us small worthy to cast out demons. So it's not

it's not that prayer and fast thing makes us more worthy,

because I didn't say this earlier. But remember that prayer

and fast thing is not a transactional action. Right, What

a trans actual action is God, I do this for you,

and you do that for me. Right, Prayer and fasting

is not that as we started in point A. Prayer

and fasting is it starts from a relationship we have

in Christ, in Christ, abiding in him and asking along

his will. So but it is that prayer and fasting

draws us closer to the heart of God, and they

put us more in line with His power. So is

that again an expression of our total dependence on Him?

Because if you think about it, right, the thing about fasting,

especially fast thing is you cannot fast for one minute?

Right?

You can pray for one minute, lah, can't I pray

for healing upon my brother, and in the name of Jesus,

he'd be made well.

He will be.

Completely healed according to the word of God, prayer and faith.

But you cannot fast for one minute? Right? Fast thing

is a time period.

Lord I set aside three days too fast from food

and pray to seek you a Lord, I said aside

the next twenty one days too fast and pray. So

the thing about fast thing that this time period. And

why is there a time period? Because it takes time

to change our hearts. It takes time for us to

be transformed and renewed in our mind to.

Be aligned to God's word. Right.

And for this bunch of people with Jesus, they needed that.

They needed to not just speak that the demon be

gone from the boy, but they needed to be aligned

to God's word to fall in place in their faith,

to have their unbelieved drop away, to believe in with

all their hearts that Christ can deliver. And for some

of our breakthroughs, we need that, right. So how do

we pray for breakthroughs? Number one, we need to be

persistent because it sometimes takes time, right. And number two,

we need to be very specific.

In what we pray.

A few recently I got taught me this about being

specific and having faith when I was having a work situation, right.

And the bottom line is, in this situation, I I

couldn't get approvals for one of our projects by by authorities,

local authorities, and uh, it was a very long process. Right,

So we pray, we pray, I mean even now been

very upfront about my faith with my team as well.

Uh, And and we.

Just try our bass and we pray. And we were

reaching a certain point where like it was just too

long and like I didn't know what to do, and

and in fact, for that particular situation, I actually call

out the local authority to ask for this for the

status of our project, and they just told me negative

news again right on the phone.

So it was like even more down right.

And I woke up one morning in the same week,

and I felt the Holy Spirit tell me to pray,

pray again for this situation. And I'm thinking in my head,

like why.

I already got the bad news.

Really, you know, you might receive bad news about you know,

I don't know whatever situation you're in. But I just

obeyed and I prayed and I believe and I had faith,

and and on the way to a meeting, I felt

Holy Spirit say, okay, just just go and check that

morning itself. And to be honest, I was kind of

like putting it off because I ready know it's gonna

be bad news, Like I just let it be bad

news for another day. I don't want to go and

talk to the officer that day. But that morning I prayed.

That morning I went in obedience, and that morning I

also receive a breakthrough, like immediately, and I don't know why.

I already asked them on the phone, like it's bad news.

How did the bad news become good news?

I don't know.

All I know is I prayed, I believed, and God

did something for me that was miraculous in my life.

So when we pray, we need to be persistent. Recently

or so as a family, we we especially Laura's been

going through something very difficult, very difficult and uh and

because we I feel it is an attack from the enemy, right,

an attack from the enemy and from the powers of

darkness of people who are being evil in her life.

Right.

So just not going through details, but you can think

about it as that. So when I describe that to you,

it's like I don't even know what to pray for

because someone is someone is uh not doing right in

her life and and I don't even know who, and

I don't know how. So we pray, we pray, and

I've been praying, uh And after a while it seems

to be okay. Then I stopped praying, right, and then

it came back again, that oppression, that attack from the enemy.

And one day I was running and the whole spirit

reminded me.

Like, like some things you just have to keep praying,

and the only way, the only thing that can move

is when God moves in the spirit. So I need

to be diligion and persistent in my prayer, asking God

for protection over our family, speaking against the work of

the enemy upon our lives, speaking the word of God

in our lives, speaking speaking that in darkness God's light

will shine right. Keep bringing this over my family, over

my life, and the life of the people around me,

because in many situations, it really takes persistent, specific prayer

over a time for us to be aligned in our

faith to what God is doing before we receive the breakthrough.

So again Matthew seven seven asks, keep on asking and

it will be given to you. Seek, Keep on seeking

and you will find knock. Keep on knocking and the

door will be open to you. A always be breakthrough.

And see is the word crisis, crisis, So this is

often where we pray the most. Right when there's moments

of crisis, when there's a tight deadline, when you have anxiety,

when you have worry, then we pray. And yes, that

is correct. We need to come to God in moments

of crisis. Even even Jesus before he went on the

cross in the Garden of get seventy.

He also went aside to pray. Right.

He prays so profusely until you know there was sweat,

blood and tears. So in moments of crisis, we need

to pray. When the whole world is falling apart, we

need to pray. When things seem to be against we

need to pray. James Chapter five says this, James Chapter five,

verse thirteen, is anyone among you suffering? Is anyone among

you suffering? Are you that person today? Let him pray?

Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms? Is anyone among

you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church,

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil

in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of

faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise

him up. And if he has committed since he will

be forgiven. So in times of crisis, is in the

times where we totally need to come to Jesus in prayer.

And how do we do that? How do we do that?

According to God's word Philippians four, verse six.

Always know this.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication,

with thanksgiving. Let your requests be made known to God

and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding. Well, God,

your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. In times of crisis,

when you feel like you feel so depressed and anxious,

we need to go to Jesus. Push away anxiety. Let

the peace of God that surpasses understanding God our hearts

and minds, true Christ Jesus. That's the first step, and

shortly can get the band to also come up, the

ministring team.

In times of crisis.

You know, last night God reminded me about this, this

story in a Bible when Jesus asked the disciples to

get into a vote, right, and then he proceeds to

take a nap in the boat. He went and sleep,

and then you know what happened, Right, the winds and

the waves came. There was a great storm. There was

a great storm that was shaking the whole boat. And

Jesus was still asleep. But the disciples were panicking. They

they said this it's not in the slides, but you

see look chapter eight. If you're taking notes, look chapter eight,

verses twenty two to twenty five. The disciples went and

walked him up, saying, Master, Master, we were going down.

We're going to drown. And he got up and rebuilt

the wind and the raging waters, and the storm subsided

and all was come. Then he asked the disciples, where's

your faith? Where's your faith? In fact, before that, the

disciples declared, like, oh man, we're going to die, going

to drown. This is not good. But do you know

that all along Jesus was in the boat. All along,

Jesus was in the boat. So remember the story I

told you about earlier. Five men in the room, all sweating. Proviously,

all along, the air cons were there in the room.

The power was connected. The only difference is someone had

the faith. Do we say, excuse me, sir, can I

turn on the air cons today? Right?

Thank God?

The disciples said, excuse me, Jesus, can you calm the

storms this morning? God, you are in the boat. I

need you to come the storms this morning. I'm going

through a crisis. The last light says this, come to Jesus,

for he is in the boat with you. So you

may be going through a crisis in your life this season,

maybe a time where anxiety is high, uncertainty is constantly there,

worry wakes you up in the middle of the night.

But I declare that Jesus is in a boat with

you in this season and to overcome this crisis. To

receive our breakthrough, we need to have faith in asking him. Man,

can we just take the next couple of minutes to

respond to Jesus, to.

Commit our lives again to him.

If you can close your eyes, if you can bow

your heads, you were able to just in the next

few minutes, quiet down your thoughts and minds and focus

your hearts on Jesus, Jesus being in the boat with you,

Jesus being that ever present help in time of need.

Because when the storms were raging, when the winds were blowing,

when the boat was being shaken, even then, he was

still there in the boat, and as the disciples came

to him, all it took was that word from Jesus

to rebuild the winds, to command the way.

Yes, and the storm ceased.
