Take Authority Original

The wind howls and the waves crash violently against the boat. Fear tries to tighten its grip as the storm rages around you. But then, through the darkness, you see Jesus walking on the water as if the tempestuous sea was solid ground beneath His feet.  

"Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid."

In that moment, Jesus isn't just defying nature; He is revealing something far greater. He is showing that no storm, no chaos, no fear could ever separate you from His power and presence. He is proving that faith is not just about believing when the waters are calm, but about trusting when everything seems impossible. He is demonstrating that we have access to more in the Spirit realm than we ever thought possible, even to the point of defying the Law of Gravity itself. 

With trembling steps, you begin to step out until fear overtakes faith, and you begin to sink. But before the waves can swallow you, Jesus reaches out, catches you, and holds you fast.  

You fix your eyes on Him and step out once again... And this time, you make it. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, you travel upon the very waters that once sought to drown you. You take authority over every tempest, every power and principality of darkness that tried to overtake you, and you experience the taste of freedom. Boldly you march on, a wave of Glory in your wake. 

Can you see it? Lord, bring us faith to walk upon the waters today.
