Reach For What’s In Reach
We are being equipped so that the Kingdom of our God can advance in us and through us. It’s going to involve taking dominion and bringing God’s order into all the mountains of culture and into individual lives and into circumstances and into history. Not every act of dominion is going to be as quick as stopping the wind and waves because changing the powers-that-be may take a while in some cases, but let’s do this. Let’s be sons that reach for what’s in reach. Let’s be the sons that bring the order that creation is groaning for. It starts with crying out, “Bid me Come, Lord.”

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!

Bid Me Come
That “BID me COME to You on the water,” was a cry of DESTINY coming up from Peter’s spirit . . . An inner YEARNING to do what JESUS was doing. An inner KNOWING he was born to walk on water.
That “BID me COME” (Matt.14:28) is in the heart of all of us. It’s DEEP calling unto DEEP. It’s in our spiritual DNA because . . . God created us to be SONS that walk in Dominion.
There is no need for us to live a watered-down version of what God had in mind for our lifetime. The only way we will leave a wimpy or skimpy heritage, is if we ignore or suppress that which is inside us . . . “LORD, BID me COME to You on the water.”
I’m obviously no 20-something, so why am I talking about taking dominion at my age . . Because “BID me COME” will trump age. “BID me COME” will trump sickness & disease. “BID me COME” will trump past failures & defeats. And every disorder we bring into Heaven’s order is the Kingdom of God advancing in the earth.
We were born to walk in the authority that trumps all things. “You don’t understand what I am up against.” No, I don’t, but I know His “COME ON” is bigger . . . Besides, when you’re walking on water, it doesn’t matter if it’s 2ft. deep or 20ft. deep.
