That “bid me come” cry came out of the yearning to do what Jesus was doing. That cry came out of an inner knowing that he was born to walk on water. I don’t know if you are ready to hear it, but we too were born to walk on water. It is in our spiritual DNA. It is in there to do what Jesus did, to live like Jesus lived, confident that man still has dominion over the earth and its natural elements just as God originally intended in Genesis. Jesus’ answer confirms this. He said to Peter, “Come on.” “BID me COME,” was Peter saying “Let me do what you are doing. Let me walk in dominion over the sea. Lord, BID me COME,” and Jesus said, “COME ON.” Sinking was not Peter’s lack of faith in Jesus. He was thoroughly confident in who Jesus was and the authority He walked in or his feet would not have even been wet. The reason Peter sank was because he walked in dominion for a few moments but then suddenly doubted he could do that!

As the people of God assemble today, may they draw on the strength that is in one another. May they not worship God as a bunch of individuals but as the body of believers and may they leave the meeting edified and strengthened by having been participants in loving on their God together.

May the power of the Word of God and enablement of the Holy Spirit help us keep out tendencies to obsess over a judgment someone made against us in the past so that we might walk in the liberty and victory of the present.
Then I said, “God-of-the-Angel-Armies, you’re a fair judge. You examine and cross-examine human actions and motives. I want to see these people shown up and put down! I’m an open book before you. Clear my name.” (Jer.11:20, Msg)

Matthew 14 tells us that the boisterous wind didn’t die down until minutes after Peter’s request when Jesus actually got in the 
boat! Yet in the dark storminess Peter says, “Lord, if it is You, BID me COME.” (v.28) Notice his first word was “if.” That “if” indicates he was still not totally sure if this was a ghost or not! So with one leg over the side of the boat, he intends to put his life on the line to test and see if it is Jesus or a ghost. I’m thinking James and John grabbed Peter’s coattail yelling, “Peter have you gone completely mental? If a ghost came after us in the middle of this stormy darkness, don’t you think he might lie and tell you he is Jesus?” Nothing about that situation was logical. Peter’s response was not logical because that cry in Peter did not come up out of his logic. Peter was known to be rash and rambunctious, but that cry did not come out of his recklessness. That cry came up out of the destiny in Peter.

May you enjoy walking and exercising. May you walk without getting winded.
May your feet be without pain and carry you every place you are supposed
to be for all of your days.
“For You have delivered my life from death, yes, and my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God in the light of life and of the living.” (Ps.56:13, Amp)

The disciples were already tired from feeding 5,000 to 10,000 people in a long day of ministry with Jesus, and here they were still awake at 4:00 am in the morning, the fourth watch. They were in a boat, out to sea, surrounded by pitch blackness and sounds of boisterous wind and waves battering the boat. They are short of breath and their ears are tingling from an adrenaline surge because they thought they had just seen a ghost coming toward them. Their throats are stinging from screaming out in fear! In that moment, even though Jesus called out, “It’s me, don’t worry,” would it even enter your mind to answer, “Oh, then bid me come to you on the water”?

May the Lord keep His people, revive them and stretch forth His hand
to do what they cannot do in the midst of their trouble. May He stretch
forth His hand and save them from their trouble.
“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will
stretch out Your hand Against the wrath of my enemies, And Your
right hand will save me.” (Ps.138:7, NKJV)

Father, by your awesome Spirit, speak into our lives where we have forgotten your desires and purposes and have concluded that we will not have an heir (Gen.15:3-4), and certain things will be and other things will not be. Holy Spirit, come and set the Word of God in our hearts that we may call upon Him so that He may show us great and mighty things. Come and witness to us today what shall be and what you shall grant by your power from your throne. You are not subject to political schemes, monetary declines or medical limitations. You are above all those limited structures. We must know what we do not now know that the glory may be to Your Name.

As the people of God assemble today, may we allow our Lord to direct
our hearts and minds on to the matter He has for us to focus on as a
corporate body. May we give ourselves to corporate unity so that His
purposes might accomplish notable results beyond the walls of the
gathering because our hearts were given to what matters to Him.

May the Word of God you have spoken to family, friends and strangers
continue to work in them like yeast working in dough. May it speak to
them in the quiet of the wee hours, in the middle of their work day and
in the midst of their troubles. And may they finally see that truth and
respond with a realizing “Yes!”.
“The Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a woman making bread.
She takes a measure of flour and mixes in the yeast until it permeates
every part of the dough.” (Matt.13:33, Living Bible)

There are blessings, signs, wonders and miracles about to happen in our lives, our families, our churches and our nation because God was witnessing of it before you and I were ever born—for His Name’s sake. We will not fall backward from promise in our confession. We will not say as Abraham, “Since You have given no offspring to me, one born in my house is my heir.” (Gen.15:3). Because He who is Witness responds “This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir.” (v.4)

people ask you your secret and why you are

The result of “call unto me” is “I will answer you.” That word “answer” means “to respond as a witness.” (Brown-Driver-Briggs) God is not coming to the witness stand to say, “Well, back in 600 B.C. ‘this’ happened and so-and-so did ’that’.” “But He is a witness to what is going to happen because He is going to bring it about. From the very beginning telling you what the ending will be, All along letting you in on what is going to happen, Assuring you, ‘I’m in this for the long haul, I’ll do exactly what I set out to do’.” (Isa 46:10, MSG) Jehovah is the kind of witness who does not come and say what He saw but what He sees. He declares the end of a thing before it ever gets started. He is not sitting around talking about what happened a year ago, He is already speaking of that which is in the coming year and He is requiring agreement with it.

Astonishingly, the “which you do not know” (Jer.33:3) part is not with reference to anything that has been kept secret or that has not existed here-to-fore. This is not the first time Jeremiah has 
heard of Jehovah’s desire to deliver and restore Israel. “Which you do not know” is, in fact, something Jeremiah does not now know because it is now covered up and overwhelmed with present circumstances and everyone’s conclusions. The sounds of destruction, conversation of people in dismay and the obvious presence of the enemy’s army are so loudly proclaiming destruction that Jeremiah has forgotten what he once knew and is, therefore, unable to proclaim it, let alone act on it. The desire of Jehovah has been displaced with other considerations and conclusions. But even before there is one ounce or semblance of relief, Jeremiah is required to vocally come into agreement with that which God is determined to grant, no matter appearances or opinions.

As the people of God assemble today, may hearts of fathers be turned to the coming generation. May fathers in our congregations discern the potential of the youth around them and let their hearts be turned to affirming them, encouraging them and enabling them on to their destiny in Christ. May this be the most memorable Father’s Day with fathers and children turned to each other in love and in honor, grasping the heavenly Father’s heart for the generations to glorify His intent.
“May the Lord richly bless both you and your children.” (Ps.115:14, TLB)

The word “call” can be defined and studies made of its finer nuances. But what we need to see in this context is what the Deliverer of Israel wants to get across to them in the moment 
of duress. “Call” in this instance is: “Jeremiah, pray for that which your God has determined to grant.” I don’t think it has to do with volume of voice or the ounces of tears shed. It has to do with knowing and getting into agreement with what God is determined to do in the families of Israel, in the nation of Israel. This is what God intended to do in Israel and what He intends to do in our nation: ‘Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth. 7 ‘I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel and will rebuild them as they were at first. 8 ‘I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against Me and by which they have transgressed against Me. 9 ‘It will be to Me a name of joy, praise and glory before all the nations of the earth which will hear of all the good that I do for them, and they will fear and tremble because of all the good and all the peace that I make for it.’ (Jer.33:6-9, NASB)

To focus on the redemptive work of Christ means more than considering His death on the cross. We must also grasp the far-reaching results, the fullness of what He bought back for mankind. Religion has emphasized the trauma, sentiment has stalled in drama, but we dare not ignore the bridge Jesus built back to God’s original intent. That is how God’s glory will fill the whole earth ( Psa 72:19), sons will live out His original intent in their lifetime—all over the earth.

If there is a formula anywhere in the Bible, here is one: Jer 33:3 ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ It appears that Israel, at this point, has nothing to look forward to but annihilation. But God gives Jeremiah the solution: call unto me. The formula seems to be: (1) call and (2) I will tell you great and mighty things which you do not know. We really do need to know what we do not know, so we really do need to call. What is not known at this point in time will stop the destruction when it does become known.

May the Lord grant His people abundant supply to not simply pay something on bills but to pay the bills–the total. And may He grant us the foresight and wisdom to only commit ourselves to spending what is within proper bounds for His purposes in us. May the Lord rebuke those entities that would attempt to put upon us that interest rate and that charge which is not legitimately ours to pay.
“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the Lord of hosts;” (Mal.3:11, NKJV)

Throughout the history of warfare it has been noted that when an attacker sees his enemy indicating any degree of retreat, it renews his vigor and purpose in the battle, pumping up 
even more determination to destroy. It’s like a boxer in a ring when he has his opponent at a disadvantage. Both boxers are weary from the physical exertion of the fight but when one sees the other stagger, he seems to get a renewed sense of vigor and begins punching rapidly with all his might hoping that this is the point at which his opponent falls. An offensive posture and offensive action keep the enemy at bay. Recovery from the stagger is a must, not using it as an excuse. I once heard a Navy Seal say that one of their primary doctrines of warfare is that you can only be defeated if you die or if you give up.

As the people of God assemble today, may they be filled and overflowing with His grace and His empowering Holy Spirit and hope like they were at Pentecost and may His Spirit overflow into every area of their lives and into the areas of responsibility they have and the relationships they have.
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:4, KJV)
“May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!” (Rom.15:13, Msg)

That “bid me come” cry came out of the yearning to do what Jesus was doing. That cry came out of an inner knowing that he was born to walk on water. I don’t know if you are ready to hear it, but we too were born to walk on water. It is in our spiritual DNA. It is in there to do what Jesus did, to live like Jesus lived, confident that man still has dominion over the earth and its natural elements just as God originally intended in Genesis. Jesus’ answer confirms this. He said to Peter, “Come on.” “BID me COME,” was Peter saying “Let me do what you are doing. Let me walk in dominion over the sea. Lord, BID me COME,” and Jesus said, “COME ON.” Sinking was not Peter’s lack of faith in Jesus. He was thoroughly confident in who Jesus was and the authority He walked in or his feet would not have even been wet. The reason Peter sank was because he walked in dominion for a few moments but then suddenly doubted he could do that!
boat! Yet in the dark storminess Peter says, “Lord, if it is You, BID me COME.” (v.28) Notice his first word was “if.” That “if” indicates he was still not totally sure if this was a ghost or not! So with one leg over the side of the boat, he intends to put his life on the line to test and see if it is Jesus or a ghost. I’m thinking James and John grabbed Peter’s coattail yelling, “Peter have you gone completely mental? If a ghost came after us in the middle of this stormy darkness, don’t you think he might lie and tell you he is Jesus?” Nothing about that situation was logical. Peter’s response was not logical because that cry in Peter did not come up out of his logic. Peter was known to be rash and rambunctious, but that cry did not come out of his recklessness. That cry came up out of the destiny in Peter.
May you enjoy walking and exercising. May you walk without getting winded. 
The disciples were already tired from feeding 5,000 to 10,000 people in a long day of ministry with Jesus, and here they were still awake at 4:00 am in the morning, the fourth watch. They were in a boat, out to sea, surrounded by pitch blackness and sounds of boisterous wind and waves battering the boat. They are short of breath and their ears are tingling from an adrenaline surge because they thought they had just seen a ghost coming toward them. Their throats are stinging from screaming out in fear! In that moment, even though Jesus called out, “It’s me, don’t worry,” would it even enter your mind to answer, “Oh, then bid me come to you on the water”? 
Father, by your awesome Spirit, speak into our lives where we have forgotten your desires and purposes and have concluded that we will not have an heir (Gen.15:3-4), and certain things will be and other things will not be. Holy Spirit, come and set the Word of God in our hearts that we may call upon Him so that He may show us great and mighty things. Come and witness to us today what shall be and what you shall grant by your power from your throne. You are not subject to political schemes, monetary declines or medical limitations. You are above all those limited structures. We must know what we do not now know that the glory may be to Your Name. 
May the Word of God you have spoken to family, friends and strangers
There are blessings, signs, wonders and miracles about to happen in our lives, our families, our churches and our nation because God was witnessing of it before you and I were ever born—for His Name’s sake. We will not fall backward from promise in our confession. We will not say as Abraham, “Since You have given no offspring to me, one born in my house is my heir.” (Gen.15:3). Because He who is Witness responds “This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir.” (v.4)
May your skin be without irritation and may it be
The result of “call unto me” is “I will answer you.” That word “answer” means “to respond as a witness.” (Brown-Driver-Briggs) God is not coming to the witness stand to say, “Well, back in 600 B.C. ‘this’ happened and so-and-so did ’that’.” “But He is a witness to what is going to happen because He is going to bring it about. From the very beginning telling you what the ending will be, All along letting you in on what is going to happen, Assuring you, ‘I’m in this for the long haul, I’ll do exactly what I set out to do’.” (Isa 46:10, MSG) Jehovah is the kind of witness who does not come and say what He saw but what He sees. He declares the end of a thing before it ever gets started. He is not sitting around talking about what happened a year ago, He is already speaking of that which is in the coming year and He is requiring agreement with it.
heard of Jehovah’s desire to deliver and restore Israel. “Which you do not know” is, in fact, something Jeremiah does not now know because it is now covered up and overwhelmed with present circumstances and everyone’s conclusions. The sounds of destruction, conversation of people in dismay and the obvious presence of the enemy’s army are so loudly proclaiming destruction that Jeremiah has forgotten what he once knew and is, therefore, unable to proclaim it, let alone act on it. The desire of Jehovah has been displaced with other considerations and conclusions. But even before there is one ounce or semblance of relief, Jeremiah is required to vocally come into agreement with that which God is determined to grant, no matter appearances or opinions.
