What does the wind have to do with it?

In Mat 14 chapter we find Peter in an interesting predicament, sinking in the water he had been walking on.
Mat 14:28 And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."
Mat 14:29 So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

Jesus gave the word to Peter… “Come” and because it was a word from God, the power of that word (and Peter’s faith in that word) cause him to defy natural law. Heb 1:3 says Jesus who being the brightness of God’s glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power…
Peter was being upheld by the power of the word!

What happened next is what happens in all our lives. Whenever you take a step of faith the enemy of your soul, Satan, stirs up circumstances to distract you.
Mat 14:30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"

Please tell me… what did the wind have to do with God’s word? Is the word He’s given you governed by outside circumstances?
What does that pain have to do with God’s word to you… “You Are Healed” (Is53:5, Ps 103:2-3)?
What does that past due notice have to do with “My God shall supply all your need’s according to His riches in glory” (Phil 4:19)?
What does a thousand lay off’s have to do with the good work He already prepared for you to do (Eph 2:10)?
What does your feeling alone have to do with His promise to you “I’ll never leave you or forsake you” (Heb 13:5)?

Stop being distracted! Remember…
Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
Jer 1:12 amp…I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.
Isa 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Look at what happened as soon as Peter got back in the place he had left.
Mat 14:32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

The enemy of our soul simply wants us to stay in the place that we are. If we get out he’s knows we will tell others that they can get out too and he can’t afford to lose people he’s been controlling by fear to wake up. When we wake up to who we are and what we can accomplish by the Holy Spirit within us we destroy (bring to nothing) Satan’s kingdom (his influence, his programs).

Jesus is asking you the same thing he asked Peter… Mat 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

Be sure to let me know if this is a blessing to you.
