To Do What Jesus Did

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!
