// Supernatural Response//

When faced with an irrational faith challenge (definition: something that makes you go “How in the world do you expect me to believe under these circumstances), your only response that will push you forward is a supernatural response.

It is where you are fully aware that you are not able to do it, but in God you can. It is where you are aware that He who is in you is greater than He that is in the world. And that He [God] has enabled you. 

He has been the faithful God in the Bible, the one who sees the need then, and He is still the same faithful God today - He sees your needs now.

Think woman with the blood issue, Noah, Joshua, Daniel and even Jesus who was fully human but was able to do everything He did through the faithfulness of His Father. These people’s faith were challenged, but their response were supernatural.

Then there’s Peter. There was a huge storm and the disciples were all on the boat without Jesus. Facing the storm was a faith challenge - What to do without Jesus? - but when Jesus appeared out of no where walking on water, the irrational faith challenge surfaced - Coming out of the boat and walking to Jesus.. on water no less.

Peter responded supernaturally by taking that step out of the boat. His faith in Jesus enabled him. That’s great right? NO! Because he eventually starting sinking. But stick with me now, you see, what Peter should have done but didn’t was continuing to fix his eyes on Jesus after taking the first step. He got overwhelmed by the waves beside Him after that first step and it became His fall. Jesus eventually came to him and pull him up. What impressed me though, was his supernatural response.

See, you may need to make a supernatural response to take the first step out of the boat for something in your life today, and all it takes is that first step. But when you step out, remember to keep focused on Jesus who is our guide, to know where your next step is, because if you don’t, your distractions will be your fall. Fix your eyes on Jesus and He will keep you steady, balanced, with enough faith for the next step and unafraid to complete the challenge.
