PILLOW OF FAITH< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Mark 4: 35-41

ÒOn the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, ÒLet us cross over to the other side.Ó (Mark 4:35) Your crossing over could be anytime of the year at any hour of the day. Are you ready for your time to crossing over? Just in case it comes unannounced, how will you respond? Jesus was taking His disciples on a cross over experience. Jesus knew exactly what had to be disassociated before their crossing over could begin to take place . ÒNow when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him.Ó (Mark 4:36) The number one thing that is needed in crossing over is to let go of the multitude. It does not matter how long or how much it will cost; multitude has to step out of your crossing over if you want to get to the desired destination. The multitude is the crowd and they will add unnecessary weight to your vessel. Unnecessary weight is baggage that can weigh your vessel down and not be able to face storms that show up. In this crossing over of Jesus with His disciples, windstorm actually showed up, ÒAnd a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, ÒTeacher, do You not care that we are perishing?Ó(Mark 4:37) Storms areinevitable and unavoidable if you have been destined to get through in your crossing over. The route of storms are also the route of choice by the devil. However with Jesus in the boat how long will you continue to shake and bake for the fear of storm? How long are you going to be awake and not sleep when you suppose to be sleeping? Have you carried fear into the boat, which Jesus is the captain? There is a need for the Òpillow of faithÓ The Apostle Paul encourage us, ÒImitate me, just acontinue struggling with the storm, why donÕt you do as Paul said by getting for yourself a pillow of Faith just like Jesus did. Jesus knew what would happen before He went along with the disciples and He could have ushered them to go ahead, but He went with them. Disciples s I imitate ChristÓ(1Corinthians 11:1) Instead of you to have walked with Jesus just as we are carrying the Word of God around and yet many are still sleeping without the pillow of faith, many are awake to give themselves to fear. Today, get a pillow of faith, Jesus that is with you will not leave you nor forsake you. Is Jesus with you?
