BIBLE STUDY with Marsha L Floyd
Matthew 14:30 (KJV)
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
I was listening to a man of God recently and he was speaking on faith. He expounded upon the story found in Matthew 14(22-32) in which Jesus was walking on water and Peter asked if he could too. Our Lord told Peter to come and he began walking on water! But, Peter began to sink because he started focusing on his circumstances, the waves. The speaker I was listening to was encouraging the listener to not focus on our circumstances but on our Lord.
Isaiah 26:3-4 (KJV)
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
Many church goers are focused on the government concerned about the state of the union. They have submitted to the demand that hey not gather with like believers and have spiritually distance themselves under the guise of ‘social distancing’. Christians have taken their eyes off of Jesus and are focused on the waves, the circumstances of the world.
The profits have spoken, many believers have rejected the prophecy. People are crying out “false prophet” thus rejecting the word spoken because the government has declared what they want the people to believe.
Romans 3:3-4 (KJV)
3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
To many people believe that God is impotent when it comes to the things of the government. They doubt His ability to, within the confines of natural laws, change the circumstances this nation finds itself in- I speak of the United States of America. “God forbid! Let God be true, and every man a liar.”
Ruach Hakodesh, the Spirit of God, moves according to the Word, by faith. The Angels respond to words of faith (see my ebook BEFORE YOU PRAY FOR ME). And the children of God, the just, should live by faith.
Romans 1:17 (KJV)
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
We are living in a time when many do not understand the power and purpose of the Spirit of God even though our Lord spoke of Him (John 14:15-21). It is interesting and noteworthy to read that our help from Him is tied to our obedience to the Word.
2020 revealed the heart of many Christians. They declared their belief in Jesus and then allowed the words of the government have priority over the Word.
James 2:18 (KJV)
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
It is not just the works of men that are troubling but the words of men that I find dumbfounding. I am always amazed at how people will defend their church leaders, and the church they affiliated with but will not stand firm on the God they say they believe in.
James 2:18-20 (KJV)
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
If you are on social media complaining about the government you are practicing a faith that is dead. If you wear a mask on your face when you are in the car alone- you have dead faith. If you are afraid to go to church because of one particular virus- your faith is dead. If you are focused on other people’s church doctrine while you sit at home waiting for some person to tell you what to do- your faith is dead.
The prophet’s have spoken, the prophecy will come to pass.
Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV)
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
YHWH in his mercy has delayed the manifestation of His promise. But, He will not wait much longer. His plan is simple: “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4 KJV) The time is coming and will be upon us soon in which the words of the prophets will manifest. At that time you will see how He rewards those who believed and not seen versus those who did not believe until they saw.
Matthew 14:30-31 (KJV)
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
What a merciful God we serve. “He cried, saying, Lord, save me.” “And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand.” Know this, my brothers and sisters in the Lord, the Spirit of God is with us and is moving. The United States of America is delivered from evil and we are about to partake of a great awakening, a mighty move of the Most High. Are you going to be sitting at the table or gathering the crumbs?
Romans 8:15-16 (KJV)
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
