MASTER of wind and water

 Isaiah 40:29

King James Version

29 He giveth power to the faint; 

and to them that have no might 

he increaseth strength.

Do you believe in JESUS?

What will it take for you to believe?

How much do you believe in Him?

What do you think is He able to do?

How much power has He got?

Here are FOUR gospels telling much.

About two types of miracle the LORD did.

Taking away fear from His apostles.

As He challenges their faith.

CALMING the storm:

Matthew 8:23-27

King James Version

23 And when he was entered into a ship, 

his disciples followed him.

24 And, behold, 

there arose a great tempest in the sea, 

insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: 

but he was asleep.

25 And his disciples came to him, 

and awoke him, saying, 

Lord, save us: we perish.

26 And he saith unto them, 

Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? 

Then he arose, 

and rebuked the winds and the sea; 

and there was a great calm.

27 But the men marvelled, saying, 

What manner of man is this, 

that even the winds and the sea obey him!

Mark 4:35-41

King James Version

35 And the same day, 

when the even was come, 

he saith unto them, 

Let us pass over unto the other side.

36 And when they had sent away the multitude, 

they took him even as he was in the ship. 

And there were also with him other little ships.

37 And there arose a great storm of wind, 

and the waves beat into the ship,

so that it was now full.

38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, 

asleep on a pillow: 

and they awake him, 

and say unto him, 

Master, 

carest thou not that we perish?

39 And he arose, 

and rebuked the wind,

 and said unto the sea, 

Peace, be still. 

And the wind ceased,

 and there was a great calm.

40 And he said unto them, 

Why are ye so fearful? 

how is it that ye have no faith?

41 And they feared exceedingly, 

and said one to another, 

What manner of man is this, 

that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Luke 8:22-25

King James Version

22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, 

that he went into a ship with his disciples: 

and he said unto them, 

Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. 

And they launched forth.

23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: 

and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; 

and they were filled with water, 

and were in jeopardy.

24 And they came to him, 

and awoke him, saying, 

Master, master, we perish. 

Then he arose, 

and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: 

and they ceased, and there was a calm.

25 And he said unto them, 

Where is your faith? 

And they being afraid wondered, 

saying one to another, 

What manner of man is this! 

for he commandeth even the winds and water, 

and they obey him.

WALKING on water:

John 6:16-21

King James Version

16 And when even was now come, 

his disciples went down unto the sea,

17 And entered into a ship, 

and went over the sea toward Capernaum. 

And it was now dark, 

and Jesus was not come to them.

18 And the sea arose 

by reason of a great wind that blew.

19 So when they had rowed 

about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, 

they see Jesus walking on the sea, 

and drawing nigh unto the ship: 

and they were afraid.

20 But he saith unto them, 

It is I; be not afraid.

21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: 

and immediately the ship was at the land 

whither they went.

These were the miracles the Catholic nuns told me about.

It is only now, as born again, can I truly appreciate it.

If you are born again, you cannot fear.

JESUS is in the boat with you.

Verses from Bible Gateway

Who is GALILEAN?

 

Acts 2:7

King James Version

7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, 

saying one to another, 

Behold, are not all these which speak 

Galilaeans?

It's wonderful being taught by SPIRIT.

He teaches me many things.

He reveals many things.

It's wonderful being "childlike".

It's exactly what JESUS commands.

That we have fresh minds, as born again.

It's wonderful being born again.

SPIRIT and Scripture teach me many things.

Such as these things I'm about to tell you.

I say all that only because I got tickled by something.

When I learned who the Galileans were.

Christian Answers tells me these:

-- It was used as a "name of contempt" as applied to the LORD's disciples.

-- All the apostles, except for Judas Iscariot, were Galileans.

-- It was one of the "names of reproach" given to the early Christians.

-- The last pagan Roman emperor, Julian the Apostate, made a law that branded Christians, "Galileans".

-- At the time of JESUS, the primary dialect of Galilee, was the Galilean dialect of Aramaic.

-- The accusers of JESUS detected Peter to be "Galilean":

When I read these, all the more I wanted to create this blog.

If you are Galilean, consider it a deep honor.

Anything that pertains to JESUS is an honor.

JESUS knew what believers would face.

He did say:

John 15:18-19

King James Version

18 If the world hate you, 

ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, 

the world would love his own: 

but because ye are not of the world, 

but I have chosen you out of the world, 

therefore the world hateth you.

Where is Galilee?

The next post will tell us more.

The GALILEAN chronicles

 

Acts 10:37

King James Version

37 That word, I say, ye know, 

which was published throughout all Judaea, 

and began from Galilee, 

after the baptism which John preached;

Welcome to our 103rd blog!

I started with one, not knowing there'll be another 102 blogs.

All on Scripture.

My latest discovery?

The Sea of Galilee.

Where it "all began".

And that's the objective of this blog.

To know more about JESUS.

To know more about GALILEE.

To know more about the LORD's ministry.

To better understand GOD, ourselves, and salvation.

Who better to teach me, than SPIRIT?

JESUS said so Himself:

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:

I also noticed most of the verses were from Luke.

SPIRIT led me to those verses last night.

I let it simmer in my heart, and this morning, here we are.

But first, another thing intrigued me today.

Setting my resolve even more firmly.

That I pursue this blog, through and through.

And you'll find out why, on the next post.

MIRACLES in GALILEE

I photographed a photo I tore from an old Catholic Bible.

I've had it for about five decades now.

Yes, I'm that ancient.

So, why not look at ancient Galilee?

During the time of CHRIST.

I feel this is going to be a real adventure.

People can have their trips.

I only need to look into Scripture.

And I'm right there when, and where JESUS was born.

Witnessing everything else that came after that.

I have the prophets, JESUS, and His apostles to tell me.

I did tell you it's going to be an adventure!
