You Can Trust the Father
“On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.” Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him. A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled. He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?” He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?” They were greatly afraid, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”” (Mark 4:35-41 WEB)
If God has given you a personal rhema word, then it should settle your heart, no matter what storms come between now until the fulfillment of His word.
Jesus could sleep through the great wind storm because He had complete faith in the Father’s word.
“Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.” (John 5:19 WEB)
Jesus never did anything unless He first saw His Father doing it. He was guided through visions from the Father.
“How can you tell me to sleep through this storm?? It looks so bad. I guess God’s word to me cannot be true. I must have heard wrongly or misinterpreted it.”
If that is what you are thinking, calm down first.
Did you realize how easy it was for God to turn the great storm into a great calm?
Jesus only spoke a word, probably “shalom” in Hebrew, and the life-threatening situation turned around as if it never existed.
No attack from the enemy or from wicked ones can ever destroy you when your faith is in God’s word.
During the wind storm, the disciples had fear, and no faith.
If only they had faith in the rhema word which was “Let’s go over to the other side,” they could have declared shalom to the great storm and seen it turn into a great calm.
If there is a stormy situation in your life and you feel afraid, remember the rhema words that have been declared over you, and begin to agree with them.
“who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.” (Colossians 1:15 WEB)
Feed on Jesus’ love for you because the way Jesus showed His love in the four gospels reveals how Abba God is like. Jesus is the perfect image of the Father.
Jesus healed all who came to Him, and provided food for the hungry. He helped those who were the outcasts of society, and offered them love, forgiveness, a heavenly calling, and total redemption.
“He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.” (1 John 4:8 WEB)
This is how Abba God is like because Jesus only did what the Father showed Him to do. Our God is love. We have such a good heavenly Father. When we trust Him, we shall not lack any good thing!
In the 37 recorded miracles worked by Jesus Christ, we can see the Father’s heart of love and Grace towards us.
