Scriptures: Mark 4:35-40, Matthew 14:20-32
Jesus told his disciples to cross to the other side but they encountered a problem (the storm)
Problems do not dictate what the will of God is or is not
The key issue is, what is your first response to the situation that arises
Your first response to situations always determines where you are (whether in the natural or in the spirit)
By the time the disciples began to control the storm in their natural ability, they became developed in unbelief and groomed in fear.
When you respond to a situation in the natural, you develop the spirit of fear
When you respond in the natural, if an answer comes from your natural response, it hardens you in responding to God
If the answer doesn’t come… you grow in unbelief.
A spiritual first response develops your faith and takes life out of the negative situation you are dealing with.
(From Matthew14:20-32)
Doubt came when Peter shifted his eyes from Jesus and began to look at the storm, He should have remained steadfast on the Word.
You have to walk in the Spirit over everything
To walk in the Spirit:
-Stay in what the Word says and be unmovable
-Pray in the Holy Ghost
When you begin to do these things, most times the LORD grants you the realm of the Spirit, and lets you know, what it is and then what to do and then how to do it.
Don’t just have a natural perception on what you are dealing with, and rely on what men say. Rely on what God says about it, be unmovable and pray in the Holy Ghost. In most things, the answer is not in the natural so you need to walk in the Holy Ghost over it by the Word and by the Spirit.
See the answer as the Word and the Spirit
