God is shifting things beneath the surface even if you can’t see it right now!

The enemy may be coming in like a flood, but God has given you the power to walk on the water.

There is a story in the Bible that talks about Jesus’ disciples being caught up in a storm while they were in a boat. Jesus began walking on the water to get to them, but the disciples were afraid because they thought He was a ghost!

“But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
“Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:27-31 NIV.

Peter began to sink because he got caught up in the negativity and fear — the wind and the waves — that were happening around him.

Whenever bad things are happening around us, we must keep our eyes focused on Jesus, so we won’t sink into the negativity!

Accuser is not one of God’s names

There are so many bad situations happening in the world, it can be easy to begin blaming other people. This is playing right into Satan’s hand because “accuser” is one of Satan’s names, not one of God’s (Revelation 12:10).

We don’t want to come into agreement with the accusations Satan has for ourselves or other people. We want to come into agreement with what God says about people!

It’s important right now to step away from the negativity that judgments bring. God is not a God who curses people. He is a God of love.

Check for negativity in your life

Here are a few questions you can ask yourself in order to check for negativity in your life:

• How are you treating people behind the wheel of your car?
• How are you behaving when no one is around to see what you’re doing?
• How are you acting towards people who don’t agree with you?
• How are you treating people in your online interactions?

Step out of negativity and into God’s perfect love

God may be tweaking some things in us right now, but all of it is to set us up to succeed. Jesus told his disciples during the storm: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid!”

He is saying the same thing to you right now as you step out into the unknown.

God wants us to step out of negativity — but He doesn’t judge us if we’ve found ourselves caught up in it!

Remember when Peter began to sink, Jesus reached out and saved him. There is always grace available for us to align ourselves with God and start walking in perfect love.
