your battles every fight you go into every enemy you come up against can only do one of two things to you they can either defeat you and consume you or they can indeed make you stronger and for a child of God this means that when you face a challenge it can either drive you to despair or it will be a stepping stone for you to reach a new level when you come up against an enemy they can either destroy you and discourage you or they can be your foot stol to greater things but the thing
to remember is that you alone can decide what you want to happen God has given us many many promises in the Bible that we can hold on to and make sure that we aren't defeated the wonderful thing that happens as you come across One Challenge after another is that as you gain victory over one trial as you overcome this adversity and that challenge you'll begin to see that you develop as a Believer you gain new qualities your faith grows stronger and stronger your prayer life will develop a higher level of intensity your understanding of God's
work will increase but all of these things can only happen through the testing of your faith people who have never really had their faith tested tend to be spiritually shallow this is because you develop a depth of understanding about God when you've been through a few things the problems you face aren't always bad problems in a sense the fights you find yourself in aren't always a bad thing I say this because God's greatest Miracles always happen when his people are in trouble Moses never knew God could part the Red Sea until he was in trouble
Daniel never knew how good God's protection was until he found himself in a lion's den you see every great Act of God almost always started with a problem so here's my advice to you don't always pray for your problems to go away start praying for the Lord to show himself in the midst of your problems don't always pray for your challenges to disappear but start praying for the Lord to empower you to overcome that challenge I encourage you to begin to see your problems as opportunities begin to see the fight before you as an opportunity
for you to see God move and act in a mighty way a challenge should not intimidate you a problem should not frighten you because you Are Not Alone the Bible clearly says in Exodus 14:14 the Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace every challenge is an opportunity for you to watch God fighting for you although it may not always be easy it may not always be enjoyable but it is necessary if you want to experience the mighty hand of the Lord working walking on water when I think of Jesus Christ walking
on water I get excited because logically it doesn't make sense scientifically it doesn't make sense the Bible says in Matthew 14: 26- 27 but when the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified died and said it's a ghost and they cried out in fear but immediately Jesus spoke to them saying take heart it is I do not be afraid Jesus walking on water is an act of defiance it's him saying that the laws of nature apply to you as humans but they don't apply to me as God Jesus walking on water as
him saying physics are a boundary for you but the laws of physics don't apply to me Gravity May limit you but gravity has no impact on me Saints what I'm trying to tell you is that nothing is impossible for Jesus nothing is incurable for Jesus nothing is Out Of Reach for Jesus and I pray that this word would inspire you when you're in the middle of a tough situation it can be hard to see beyond the present but I want to encourage you to step out in faith reach out for the hand of Jesus Christ
and he will deliver you when you find that there is Darkness all around you and you find it difficult to smile you find it difficult to be happy reach out for the hand of the one who walks on water and he will save you and this message is for the ears of someone who really is going through difficult circumstances maybe you're in a dry season and you find yourself on unstable ground well Saints where we're limited the Lord is Limitless where we see challenges the Lord sees opportunities opportunities for him to demonstrate his love for
you opportunities for him to demonstrate his mind might and power to you don't ever become disheartened because you're surrounded by water and what I mean by that is in Matthew 14 when the disciples were in the boat they had nowhere to go they were essentially trapped if you got out the boat you're worried about drowning if you're in the boat you're still slightly worried about sinking or capsizing so the disciples were surrounded by water they were Bound by water but here came Jesus walking on the very thing that threatened the disciples the very thing that
restrained and limited the disciples is what Jesus used to demonstrate his Superior power so don't be discouraged because you're surrounded by water don't be frightened because you're surrounded by water call out to Jesus the one who walks on the water so even if you're battered by the waves of life you can call on Jesus now let us pray Lord Jesus I praise and I worship you I praise you because you are Unlimited in your power we may be bound by the laws of nature but you are not like man you are not bound or restricted
or limited by the things that that limit us Lord your word says in Psalms 147:4 to5 he determines the number of the Stars he gives to all of them their names great is our Lord and abundant in power his understanding is beyond measure be glorified Lord Jesus you are great and awesome I pray that you would help me step out in faith and trust you always I can't always change my circumstances but I will decide to trust in you fully Lord Jesus help me to fight and change my attitude and outlook on life so that
I will always walk by faith and not by sight James chap 1 verse 2-4 says count it all joy my brothers when you meet trials of various kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness and let steadfastness have its full effect that you might be perfect and complete lacking in nothing as I pray that you would strengthen my faith I understand that the testing of my faith produces endurance help me King Jesus to have a faith that is strong and resilient help help me Lord to have the faith that believes you
will Outlast my problem Lord Jesus you are a holy God you are a righteous God you alone are the one who moves mountains and causes walls to fall we know that regardless of everything happening around us regardless of the things going on in this world you are still in control you are still on your throne and you are still a good God one who will never leave us nor forsake us your word in Isaiah 43:16 says thus says the Lord who makes a way in the sea a path in the mighty Waters you Lord will
make a way in the desert you will create rivers in the desert you are still a God who makes a way where there seems to be no way when we are surrounded by the enemy you are a God who delivers I thank you I Praise You Lord because when it looks as though the Red Sea of the unknown will overcome us we will call out your name the name that is above every name and that name is Jesus Christ and we will ask for your help to make a way where there seems to be no
way we ask you Lord to split llit the Sea of uncertainty before us turn the unstable ground we're on into solid and steady ground Lord speak the words peace be still in the storms that we Face calm the seas in our lives Lord we trust in you to be the solution we are trusting you to be the chain breaker to be the way out for whatever it is that comes against us be with us as we continue to fight and strive to walk by faith and not by sight give us the strength to always hold
on to our Mighty savior that is Jesus Christ for in him and him alone we can find Deliverance you alone are our Rock and refuge so we run to you may the Holy Spirit help me to keep seeking things that are above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God help me Holy Spirit to set my mind above and to keep focused on everything related to the kingdom of God help me not to conform to the things of this world help me not to be distracted by things that are on the earth which
only have temporal value and for me to even do this Lord I need your Supernatural strength and so I declare that you Lord Jesus you are my source of strength that leads me to overcome the devil you Lord Jesus are my source of strength that leads me to walk in Victory you are my source of strength that leads me to defeat sin be praised and glorified King Jesus continue to strengthen our faith in Jesus name I I pray amen the Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace but when the disciples saw
him walking on the sea they were terrified and said it's a ghost and they cried out in fear but immediately Jesus spoke to them saying take take heart it is I do not be [Music] afraid he determines the number of the Stars he gives to all of them their names great is our Lord and abundant in power his understanding is beyond measure count it all joy my brothers when you meet Trials of various kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness and let steadfastness have its full effect that you might be
perfect and complete lacking in [Music] nothing thus says the Lord who makes a way in the sea a path in the mighty Waters
