Sermon Notes:
Main Point: We will advance, Totally Dependent on Jesus: Expect the Supernatural.
Intro:
- Last Week, we covered how as we Advance, totally dependent on Jesus; God will turn it around.
- Not only will God turn it around, God will do it with Power. Supernatural Power.
Peter walked on Water: Matthew 14:22-33.
- Why? Did Peter already know that Jesus was God incarnate? Did Peter want to test this miracle out to make sure Jesus was God incarnate?
- Regardless what Peter was thinking? Outside of the Boat, Peter was totally dependent on Jesus.
- As long as Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he was experiencing a supernatural event.
- Once he looked at the circumstances around him his faith was weakened.
Pastor’s Thoughts:
- Don’t look at the circumstances around you.
- God will turn it around.
- And He will do it with supernatural power
- Once you are dependent on something else for your joy and peace, your faith is weakened.
- Let your faith arise, by being totally dependent on Jesus.
- Keep your eyes on Jesus. Be totally Dependent on Jesus and you will see God’s Supernatural Power in your circumstance.
The Woman with the Issue of Blood. Luke 8:43-48.
- The woman tried everything until she had no other hope but one. The miracle worker was in town.
- The woman was totally dependent on Jesus. Desperation.
- Jesus was on his way to attend to an urgent situation but he stopped because he perceived great faith.
Pastor’s Thoughts:
- Reach out to Jesus with great faith, with desperation. Jesus will stop and answer with supernatural power.
- Who touch me?
- Do not wait until your circumstance is unbearable. Cry out to Jesus and be totally dependent on His mighty name in all things.
- Wise is the man who is desperate for Jesus, before calamity falls.
