Speak To The Storm
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto
the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and
there was a great calm
(Mk 4:39)
God doesn’t want you to go through life as
though you’re helpless and handicapped.
Rather, He wants you to take charge and do something
with your life, and about your situation. You should
make things happen in your life.
You might be crying, “Lord, don’t you see my
situation? Do something!” No, you’re the one to do
something, because He’s given you the power. Act
like Jesus. He calmed the storms with words. He said
to the raging tempest, “Peace, be still” and there was
a great calm.
Perhaps for some reason, you find yourself
agitated and fearful about a situation, what you should
do is simple: Put your right hand on your chest and
say, “Calm down in the Name of Jesus,” and His peace
will overwhelm your soul.
The disciples were sore afraid when the winds
became boisterous, and the water was getting into
the boat. They came to Jesus and said, “Master, don’t
you care that we perish?” Jesus said to them, “Where
is your faith?” In other words, “Why are you terrified?
I’m right here. I’m your peace.” They had “Peace” with
them in the boat, for He’s the peace of Israel, and He’s
our peace today.
Refuse to fear. Christ is your peace, and He lives
in you. He’s God’s Word. He’s the “Logos” of God.
When you speak, Jesus—the Word—is manifested. So
when you need to calm any storm, you don’t have to
try to “wake Him up,” like the disciples did; you speak
His Word.
No wonder the Bible says, “Let the Word of Christ
dwell in you richly...” (Colossians 3:16). Jesus said, “If
ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall
ask what ye will…” (John 15:7). What do you want?
Don’t complain; don’t beg; speak the Word. Ask and
receive. Hallelujah!
Prayer
Precious Father, I thank you for the blessing and authority I
have in Jesus. Christ is my peace; even now, I declare peace over
my life, my job, my business, my family, and on everything that
concerns me. I’m overwhelmed by the glory and tranquility of
the Spirit. My path is one of success, joy, and victory forever,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
