I encourage you to read Matt. 14:22-33 carefully. This is the eyewitness account of when a mere mortal, the Apostle Peter, walked on water. He did it by faith - obedience to God's Word, and his eyes fixed on Jesus. However, he got his eyes off Jesus and disregarded His Word.
Romans 10:17 says, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." So far in our series, we have learned these key elements concerning how to walk in faith and overcome doubt and unbelief: 1. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. 2. Know that the spiritual realm is more real than the physical realm, and that God's Word is spirit and life.
I encourage you to read Mt. 17:14-21. Verse 19-21 says, "Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? Jesus said unto them, "Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
It's funny how God works sometimes. Here I've been concentrating on planting my fertile ground with God's Word, looking for 'good' Scriptures to speak and meditate on each day, and I picked up a book I had begun reading months ago, by Stormie Omartian, called The Power of a Praying Woman, and I opened it to a chapter about Jesus being the true Vine.
John 15:1-5 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
