Faith in God - 6

Song: Keep On Believing
Keep on believing, God will answer prayer;
Keep on believing, never despair;
Tho' you be heavy laden and
burdened down with care,
Remember God still loves you
and He answers prayer.

Jesus Calms a Storm
Matthew 8:23-27 NCV
Jesus got into a boat, and his followers went with him. A great storm arose on the lake so that waves covered the boat, but Jesus was sleeping. He followers went to him and woke, saying, "Lord save us! We will drown!" Jesus answered, "Why are you afraid? You don't have enough faith." Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the waves, and it became completely calm. The men were amazed and said, "What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"

Key verse in Matthew 8:26.
Prophetic Message from the Lord:
NCV: ..."Why are you afraid? You don't have enough faith."
AMP: ..."Why are you timid and afraid, O you of little faith?"
KJV: ..."Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?"
Jesus said: "Have faith in Me. Have faith in God because 'without faith no one can please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that He is real and that He rewards those who truly want to find Him.' [Heb.11:6]

Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank You for speaking to us that our faith is small. Enlarge our faith so that we may please You. We have sinned against You for having a little faith. Forgive our sins and cleansed us with the blood of Jesus. Set our spirits free to worship You in spirit and in truth. In Jesus' name. Amen!
