In what Heaven is calling the

 Key!

⁴⁵And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the crowds.⁴⁶ And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

⁴⁷ And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.⁴⁸ And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

⁴⁹ But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

⁵⁰ For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

⁵¹ And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.

⁵² For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their hearts were hardened.⁵³ And they crossed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.  

YHVH Kingdom

 Is marking& highlighting by the Holy Spirit the key In Mark 6;

1st-I want you to notice they were constrained by Jesus!   

 Jesus Was;

Strongly Directing Them!

Unmistakably Leading Them! 

Jesus was being very purposeful like there was something very important in what they were about to experience! 

Jesus Instruction

 Was to enter a Boat and go to the opposite side of the Sea of Galilee

 To Bethsadia!  

Bethsadia Means;

"House of the Fisherman"

Peter and Andrews home town was Bethsaida.

2ndly- Notice what they were instructed to do, they were very well experienced In doing! 

 In fact no one was more equipped then these guys!  

This was old school stuff something they probably did a thousand times

3rdly-  very important to see this,  Jesus left them to fend for themselves! 

4th- Notice They Did Exactly What Jesus  Guided, and Instructed Them To Do!

Yet, found themselves caught in a perilous situation, where even their lives were now threatened.

  The storm they were now confronted with placed them in a situation that no human training or human strength,  or any amount of experience was going to be able to help them.

5th- Notice in spite of the life threatening situation they continued to toil in their own strength and ability!

 Very important to see yourself in the story!

*Your well trained in church growth, prayer strategy, evangelism technique you've  been to every possible training seminar you got  all the keys to success memorized, it's sure to seceded in spite of the lack of present progress!

So like the disciples your still  toiling , struggling, you continue  working the plan,  following all the keys to success, Yet you now find yourself like the disciples  quickly coming to a point of complete exhaustion!

6th- Ask yourself why? Why did Yeshua constrain them? There is no doubt looking back that he strongly directed them, and unmistakably lead them in this path! 

Looking back there is no doubt that Jesus led you and directed you Pastor Henry and Pastor Michelle to Pastor  in Roodepoort/Johannesburg!

South Africa!

Thinking of The Perils of

 Cape Horn!

 Jesus has been very purposeful,  there was something very important that He must teach you through what you have experienced!

7th-  Notice Suddenly Jesus appears on the scene

Yet when the disciples are faced with this supernatural occurrence ( Jesus walking on the sea in its turbulent state ) they cannot rationalize with their natural minds what they are experiencing. 

They have no grid for this unnatural event in their lives, it does not fit in their personal paradigm or reality.

 There training and life experience did not prepare them for this unpredictable, unfathomable, unprecedented event.

Their  fathers who were life long fisherman!

Never ever had a experience like this!  

 They were not taught  in any seminar how to respond  to a supernatual occurance like what they were now witnessing!

8th-  Notice Jesus would have passed them by in verse 48?

The Question is why?  

Now They were faced with a very serious choice to make! 

A) Continue with what you know as a human solution, and Jesus would  have passed them by!

OR

B) Embrace what was supernatural and unknown to them previously as the solution!

The 2 on the road to Emmaus were faced with the same Crisis in Luke 24:28. 

Continue in your natural understanding of events concerning Jesus 

OR

Embrace what was unknown to them previously in any experience before.

 A resurrected man from the dead speaking to them claiming He was the Messiah the Christ!

²⁸ And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

²⁹ But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 

³⁰ And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave to them.

³¹ And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

They stepped into the Realm of the Spirit  and now carried Jesus in a new powerful way in their lives.

This was the New Wineskin of  

Luke 5:37-39

9th- Notice they thought they saw a spirit in verse 49!

But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit 

2  Corinthians 3:17-18

  In their receiving Him they are now experiencing a new reality in their lives the 

(Realm of the Spirit) 

As they Cry out to Jesus they are now stepping into a new Revelation and reality!

As they do so, the natural life crisis  they were dealing with quickly changed and they found themselves in a whole 

New Paradigm 

A whole new reality they never experienced before!  

In this transitional Season we must choose to continue to live in the past!

 Old Wineskin

OR 

Allow our hearts❤ to be circumcised  Afresh!

And Receive the 

New Wine of Heaven

 That brings in the last glorious harvest!
