The Power of God in the Church

 “And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14‬:‭31‬-‭33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus immediately stretched out His hand and lifted him up and said, “What little faith you have! Why would you let doubt win?” And the very moment they both stepped into the boat, the raging wind ceased. Then all the disciples bowed down before Him and worshiped Jesus. They said in adoration, “You are truly the Son of God!”  The disciples worshipped Jesus.  Worship means to bow, to kiss and to pay homage to.  The disciples did all three as they declared Jesus being the Son of God.  The power of God exuding from Jesus was incredible, that the raging wind ceased.  Earlier the same power multiplied the loaves and fishes.  Later the same power healed the woman who touched Jesus’s prayer shawl.  The same power is available to the Church today, for Christ, the Provider, the Deliverer, the Healer, lives in every believer.  As David believed, “You answer our prayers with amazing wonders and with awe-inspiring displays of power.”  Let the Church believe and move in that power.  Amen!
