Peter never would have walked on the water if he hadn’t first stepped out of the boat. You have to get out of the boat before you can walk on the water. You can’t walk on water in the boat.
You have to get out of your comfort zone. The fear of being different, of running a risk, and the desire to be safe are all real faith killers.
Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel” (Psalm 78:41). You limit God by not having a vision, fearing the unknown, thinking small, fearing change, being unwilling to take a risk, fearing failure, not taking a step of faith, being lazy, and staying in the boat.
This limits what God can do in your life. You need to take the limits off God! My teaching entitled Don’t Limit God will show you how you can do this.
Out on the Limb, Some people just can’t transition from taking the so-called security the world has to offer to get out of the boat. However, the fruit grows out on the limb!
Most of us want to hold onto the trunk and still have all the fruit that comes from being out on the limb, but it doesn’t work that way. You need to get out there where you’re bobbing up and down in the breeze.
You need to feel that insecurity of wobbling around and wondering, Is this thing going to hold me or not? That’s where the fruit comes from.
