" The Chokehold Of Fear!!"
[38] Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” [39] He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. [40] He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
Mark 4:38-40 NIV
BELOVED,
You can have peace in the midst of whatever is going on. There is no reason you should lose sleep over a storm that is not even yours.
Jesus wasn’t losing any sleep over the storm the disciples found themselves in.
As a matter of fact, If they hadn't called Jesus and woke Him up and got Him involved in what was going on....The same way, your family members call you and get you involved in stuff, JESUS WOULD HAVE REMAINED SLEEP.
And they had the nerve to ask Him, if He cared....YES, HE CARES, but there comes a time when (like the disciples) we must trust what He has taught us, trust His Holy Spirit that lives in us, and do what we know to do.
But STILL they proceeded to wake Jesus up and what did Jesus do?
Verse [39] He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
Something the disciples could have done themselves, but they let fear get the best of them.
Jesus even said to them, Verse [40] “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
You see, By now, the disciples should have had crazy, radical faith, but they didn't. They were still walking by sight and not by faith and what they saw in the natural happening had them in a choke hold of fear?
What has you in a choke hold, a choke hold of fear?
Remember:
👉God has not given us the spirit of fear. 2 Tim 1:7 NKJV
Remember:
👉The bible says, As He is, so are we in this world.
1 John 4:17 NKJV
So, Why are you STILL calling on Jesus for EVERYTHING? Some things He has given you the authority to handle.
Until Next Sunday.
