But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.” Matthew 14:24-33
1. What can you learn from George Muller’s consecrated life stories and in his prayers to God? Do you tend to want God to answer our prayers based on what we want or do you pray the prayer of consecration that involves the will of God and what is the word from God for you to anchor on?
(1 John 5:14; Mark 4:34)
2. What is the problem when we send out a fleece to God as the practice by Gideon to know the will of God? Discuss how we can move from having a knowledge of God to really knowing God and what are some practical ways to help us walk out the life style of faith.
(John 17:3; Romans 12:1-2; Matthew 14:31)
3. What is true faith to you and how is it different from the worldly views of “seeing is believing”? How would you rate your level of faith especially when circumstances seem contrary to the promise or the word given to you personally?
(Matthew 8:7-10; Hebrews 11:6; John 20:29)
