Testimonies

When you get a blessing, make noise about it. Especially if it is particularly supernatural. When the woman who had the never-ending menstrual cycle got healed by touching Jesus’ clothes, it apparently made the local papers: when Jesus appeared in Gennesaret after Peter walked on water, everybody wanted to touch Jesus’ clothes. Anybody who did got healed!

Make His praises known. Open doors for others’ faith when yours grows.

Immediately Jesus spoke to them. “Have courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

“Lord, if it’s You,” Peter answered Him, “command me to come to You on the water.”

“Come!” He said.

And climbing out of the boat, Peter started walking on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid. And beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Immediately Jesus reached out His hand, caught hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. Then those in the boat worshiped Him and said, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

Once they crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. When the men of that place recognized Him, they alerted the whole vicinity and brought to Him all who were sick. They were begging Him that they might only touch the tassel on His robe. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.
