Strong Arm


-Nobody lives for himself alone, God entrusted to us some things
WE ARE WOUNDED HEALERS: but as we heal others, God heals us too.

(5) Five Important Points we must understand and remember via Mk 4: 35-41:

1. "LET US CROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE" @Jesus
-only God know where he want you to bring
-take the boat, ride it, and live a life with him
? is the Lord calling you for something?

2. "RECOGNIZE YOUR FEARS BUT DO NOT FOCUS ON THEM, FOCUS ON GOD"
-via Mk 4:35-41 "Why are you terrified?"
-the recognition of one's fear is important because it enables us to know what we must do and where we must meet Christ
-remember: God is Greater, God is Stronger, God is in control of everything
-Surrender your fears


3. "DO YOU NOT HAVE FAITH?"
-Have Faith for God is with you
-short story given by Kuya Ej:

Jesus asks a little boy: "what is my address, I have 2?"
Boy: uhm. In Heaven?
Jesus: Correct! the other one?
Boy: ......
Jesus: YouWherever you go, whatever you do, my address is you :)

-BE FAITHFUL! (?) How?????? >answer is @ point #4<

4. "CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD"...and you will be saved
-via Mk 4:35-41 "They woke him........." waking up God=calling God=Prayer time
-Yes God is in control BUT sometimes he may "sleep" intentionally because he knows when we need him. He does this not because of apathy for us but because he wants us to DO OUR PART.
-THE LORD TESTS US FOR US TO LEARN, TO UNDERSTAND, TO BE BETTER AND TO HAVE FAITH.
-via Mk 4:35-41 ".......still"


5. "EXPECT TO BE AMAZED FOR THE STRONG ARM IS HERE"
-like the waves in the Gospel that terrified the apostles which made them call God, we may have our own waves in our lives too that terrifies us terribly. These waves our the problems we have on all aspects of our lives. But always remember that God is in control and expect to be amazed for nothing can ever be greater than his strength.
-Jesus calms=He gives peace in our <3 s
