TROUBLED WATERMark 6:45-56

Multitudes or crowds represent on lookers, mockers, agents of delay or those that are interested in seeing, but are not positioned to receive. Once in one of JesusÕ journeys with His disciples, Jesus made His disciples to cross over, while turning away the multitude. Mark 6:45, ÒImmediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away.Ó Jesus sent them away because they were not part of the crossing over team. Also, crossing over is not for everyone that calls Him Lord. Are you part of the multitude or the multitude is part of you? Jesus made the ones that He had called to follow Him, His disciples, to go ahead and cross over in the journey. In the journey of life, there are some crossings that have to come in order to get to the next level of assignment. The cross over journey is not to destroy, but to build you up for the fulfillment of your divine assignment. Jesus knew it was a late hour too. He must have seen the storm in the cross over, yet He made them cross over so He can make them up for His glory. Since the time you gave your life to Jesus, by His grace, have you encountered any troubled water before or you are in the middle of any troubled water? Be of good cheer. He is aware of your present location in the troubled water and He will not forsake you. Jesus will show up at the right time and the troubled water will not overtake you. Jesus wants us to cross over and the way to cross over is very challenging. Noah had his troubled water subsided when the Lord remembered him. Genesis 8:1, ÒThen God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.Ó The children of Israel on their way to the Promised Land had their troubled water and they cried to the Lord and the Lord moved through Moses, Ò Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.Ó (Exodus 14:21) Go ahead and ask the Lord because He asked us to ask, seek and knock for Him to move on our behalf. He remembered Noah; He caused the sea to give way. Jesus will make you to walk on your troubled water.
