“Walking on water” is a call for us to do that which we hitherto considered as impossible with the help of the God who considers all things possible. It all starts with what we see and its effect on our system of belief/thinking pattern. In the story of Peter (Matthew 14) Peter saw Jesus on the water and figured that he could attempt it. What we see often determines our faith or belief system. If Peter did not see Jesus walking on water, it would never have occurred to him to desire the walking-on-water-experience. His system of belief/thinking pattern would never have been able to accommodate such a feat.
HE SAW – his mind analysed it – then his system of belief/thinking pattern changed in response to what he saw. There was a period of processing the image of Jesus walking on water, the initial response was fear, which progressed to a desire to walk on water (which he eventually did). There are various levels of ‘seeing’. Some see physically, some see mentally, some see spiritually, some see psychologically. However you see (or want to see), that which you see affects your system of belief/thinking pattern.
What are you seeing? Are you seeing victory through God’s word or defeat through the societal decay around us? Are you seeing healing as pronounced in the word of God or sickness & death as reported by the doctors? Are you seeing success through the grace and strength of Jesus or failure through your feeble effort? WHAT ARE YOU SEEING? Switch your lenses if you have to, but you must see right as a first step to walking on water. God bless You!
