P. 32

So, the first thing He wants you to know is that He is there.  The
        second thing He wants you to know is that the storm is under
        His feet.  He is in control.

        If you fail again and say, “It’s not enough that You are there
        and You are in control,” or,  “Get in the boat and do a miracle.,”
        or  “I want to see a miracle,” I promise you that in your struggle,
        the Lord will not forsake you.  If you struggle at the oars He’ll
        come walking by.  He doesn’t want to get on the boat.  He wants
        you to know that it’s Him and that it is under control.  If you
        still fail and say, “Get on the boat,” He will not fail you.  He
        will get on board and do a wonderful miracle.

        Some of you might be in a position where you said, “I failed.  I
        invited Him on board to do a miracle and He didn’t come.  I
        asked Him to heal my loved one.  I needed a miracle and He
        didn’t come.  I didn’t want that person to die.  I asked the Lord
        how come He didn’t come on board and do a miracle.  I didn’t
        want to lose my job and I didn’t want to go bankrupt and I asked
        Him for a miracle.”

        If you need it, He will always come on board and do a miracle.
        If He didn’t come on board, you might have more faith than you
        think  you  have.    Maybe  you  didn’t  need  it.    You  went  on
        without it.  He doesn’t want to come on board but if you need it
        to go on with Him, He’ll come on board and do that miracle.
        So, perhaps you have more faith than you think you have.

        When He comes aboard, because it’s sight, He will do a miracle
        and He’ll calm the storm and He’ll take you to your destination.
        He’ll do one more thing; He’ll mildly rebuke you for your little
        faith (Mark 6:52).  Where is your faith?  You didn’t learn the
        lesson of the loaves.  So, that’s the first story and now I want to
        wrap it up with the second one.  I can relate to Him on the
        mountain or I can relate to Him going by and letting me know
        He is there and He has it under control or I can relate to Him on
        the boat; faith, sight, or mixture.
