To be almost saved is to be totally lost.

To be almost saved is to be totally lost.

 

And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest (storm) in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them,…

…Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?

Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marveled (astonished), saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him...Matthew 8:23-27!

 

You ever faced drear circumstances…ever been in a life-or-death situation…and be frozen…fearful…like the disciples were…yes or no?

 

These grown men were fearful and two of them were used to sea being fishermen. Can you imagine the waves being taller than the boat…this is what they were facing…Jesus being asleep. They woke Him up thinking they may have to swim or the boat would sink or break…perhaps. Jesus after seeing just tells the storm to behave. Do you have faith like Jesus…I sometimes think I would love to be able to do so…Jesus did so to teach His disciples God will protect you in the storm.

 

Are you in a storm…in a storm you think God has no control over…God can change your circumstances…prayer moves the hand that moves the universe. You are more precious than any other creature because you are one of His sheep. God will make a way for you through the storm or He can calm the sea and the winds of the storm.

 

Are you on sinking sand or is your faith built upon the rock solidness of Jesus Christ? He is the Good Shepherd and if you have been baptized then you are one of His sheep…one of His dear Children. If you have not been baptized but believe Jesus died and rose from the grave…then you are still on the sand of the shore facing a storm. There is another time Jesus upbraided (harsh) the disciples for the lack of faith…After Jesus was risen from the dead…Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned...Mark 16:14-16.

 

Prayer

Father please take control and remove the storms in my life and calm the sea of anguish and turmoil so that I can know the truth and be set free from my past...please be my way of salvation so I can be free to practice the truth in freedom…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
