These verses talk about Jesus sleeping in the boat when a storm comes up and the disciples panic and wake Jesus up. Jesus says “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!”. Then he rebuked the wind and waves and calms the water. The disciples were amazed.

There are several things I want to point out in this. First Jesus asks why are they afraid and comments on their lack of faith. This applies to life in general. Let’s make this more personal. What are you afraid of? If you have a fear in your life the second question applies. Where is your faith?

Faith involves a trust that you will be ok, that you will be taken care of and it even goes beyond that to believing that the best possible outcome will occur. Faith is required in manifesting. You have to believe that what you want to occur will occur, in fact you have to believe or know that what you expect to occur will happen. You have to do more than want, you have to expect. You may want something but expect something else to happen. Your want and your expectation must be in congruence.

The second thing is that Jesus calmed the water. When you have Faith, the turmoil in life will calm. When you put your total trust and believe in a great outcome, the troubles you are in will seem smaller.

There is actually a more practical side to these verses. Jesus implies that if the disciples had faith, they could calm the waters. We don’t realize what power we have. This is where I will get a little weird for some of you. We can control the weather. All the turmoil in the world contributes a large part to the turmoil in the weather along with earthquakes and volcanoes.

When my son was younger, we would sit on the swings and call up rain clouds. Sometimes it would take a couple days when there was no clouds and we were in the middle of a drought, but they would come. I quit doing it because it gave me a headache. Jesse however did it with ease. Try it yourself.
