Please Be Still
I pray that you are well in body and spirit. In the wake of what is going on around the world, I would like to encourage you to be still. Don’t panic! He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world. I know you may have questions as to why this is happening but don’t forget that diseases have been present long before you were born. The best part is we have a savior who rose above death and diseases with healing in His wings. His word to you this morning “Be Still and know that I am God”[ Psalm 46:10 ]
Q
Jesus Calms The Storm
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. 24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.” [ Luke 8:22–25]
What manner of man is this? Even the sea and the winds obey Him! “Be Still! No matter what type of storm is blowing in your life, Jesus has the power to calm the storm. He can’t calm your storms if you don’t have faith. What is faith? Faith is the connecting power into the spiritual realm which links us with God. It is the basic ingredient to begin a relationship with God. Faith is the substance through which we receive from God, our salvation. Ephesians 2: 8-9 says for by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. We must believe and respond to the Word which then will produce in our faith as a ‘fruit of the Spirit’ (Galatians 5:22).
