![]() When you seek, ask and knock for faith in His words, “Peace, be still,” He is always there to help you. Great conflicts in the mind can rage as the devil battles against what God has promised, what He has said He would do but Jesus said, Ask, and it shall be given you seek, and ye shall find knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7). Again and again, the Lord has brought those words to me: Peace, peace be still. Jesus has only to say, “Peace, be still,” and deliverance comes. No power can defeat you when you claim His promises. Recognize your bondage and know that through the promises of God you have liberation. They, like the disciples on the stormy sea, fail to consider that lack of faith is a bondage. Jesus, the One foretold by the prophets, the One holy men of old longed to see, came into bondage that we might be delivered from bondage, that the captives might be set free. Every word He speaks contains all might, all strength, all courage, all power to defeat whatever adversity that may come against you daily. Make sure Jesus is on board your ship make sure you really believe in Him and what He has said. The storms of life can be just as ferocious for you in this final hour as they were for the disciples. He is ready to help you do that which you cannot do for yourself-but He waits for your call. Just because the Lord is quiet, just because He does not always make Himself known, it does not mean He is not on board your ship or that He does not care. In fact, Jesus was so calm in the face of disaster that they asked, Master, carest thou not that we perish? This should teach you something. In their wildest dreams they had never imagined what they were about to see. When Jesus calmed the storm with such a great display of His mighty power, they were shocked. ![]() Seeing Jesus in action only at times, the disciples were unaware of being bound by a lack of faith. What manner of man is this? At that time there had been no Crucifixion, no Resurrection, no concrete victory over sin. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him (Mark 4:37-41)? And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. ![]() And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. ![]()
