Grace for you today !
Beholding Jesus In The Word Transforms Your Mind To Encash Your God Moment!
Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by. And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out;” Mark 6:48-49 NKJV
Today, my beloved, lets see the second area where the disciples failed to understand the language of God :
They failed to recognize the Divine help as Jesus came walking on the sea during their struggle and attributed it to a demonic act ( How to perceive my God – moment ( Kairos) and appropriate the same to see the miracle and get rid of my struggle?)
Both the Lord and the disciples saw each other as mentioned in today’s portion of meditation. But, their reactions were different. The Lard saw them struggling and had compassion on them and reached out to help them whereas, the disciples too saw the Lord but shivered in fear wanting to hide themselves, saying that they saw a ghost! It’s sad!!
The New Testament was written in Greek and in the Greek, there are three different words for the same English word “saw”
To quote from Grace for you today 23rd February 2023:
“Dear beloved of our Lord Jesus, the world is so used to seeing (Greek – Blepo ) the factual and then reacting to it. Often time what one sees is not the truth. Our mind begins to analyze ( Greek – Theoreo) what it receives from the 5 senses. But, it is when we see through our God enlightened spiritual eyes ( Greek-Horao) then we perceive the truth , even on the face of adverse reality. This is the blessedness of the New Creation!”
Now both Jesus and the disciples had Horao sight but the reactions were different. (Horao is the spiritual vision by which one can operate in the realm of the spirits.)
The point I want to emphasize here is that if we don’t have our minds renewed in the light of the knowledge of God’s word, we may still misinterpret the vision even though we see ( horao) it right with spiritual eyes.
The disciples saw it right but supposed it wrong( used their analytical theoreo) as the minds were not renewed . Many believers fall into this category and sometimes sadly miss their God-moment ( kairos). When the opportune time comes, they use their human reasoning . Their minds are not renewed which causes transformation to grab their Kairos.
When the disciples gladly received Jesus into their boat, they saw the cessation of their struggle and reached their desired haven instantly ( Mark 6:51 and John 6:21). Let this be your portion today in Jesus name ! Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus !
