February 5: Expand Your Vision for Miracles
Luke 5:1-11
Luke 5:1-11
The Temptation of Jesus
(Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13)
1And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 3And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 4And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6And the devil said unto him, All this power (demonic powers) will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 8And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
10For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Luke 5:4,5
Let down your nets… I will let down the net.
Pastor Andrew Wommack teaches on "Expand Your Vision For Miracles"
Jesus had just used Peter’s boat to preach to the people, and He wanted to bless him for this. He also wanted to show Peter how He could meet all of his needs. Jesus told Peter to let down his nets for a catch. At that moment, all the fish in the lake started swimming for Peter’s boat. (Note: If He promised it, He will do it)
Unfortunately, Peter couldn’t believe Jesus’ promise over the fact that he had been fishing all night and had caught nothing. He certainly wasn’t going to have better luck now. Jesus was a wonderful preacher, but what did He know about fishing? Peter was the expert there. It’s to his credit that he obeyed, but he didn’t do exactly what Jesus asked him to do (Note: obedience is key). Jesus told him to cast his nets, and Peter only threw in one net. He obeyed, but he wasn’t expecting much. (Note: it seems here that the key is to obey and expect)
As a result, all the fish Jesus sent to fill many nets jumped into Peter’s one net. The net wasn’t able to handle all the fish, and it began to break. This was the biggest catch of Peter’s life, yet it could have been even bigger! The fish were actually fighting to get into his net, but his vision was too small.
We often miss some of God’s supply because we do not embrace God’s vision for our lives. The widow in 2 Kings 4:6 could have had more oil, but she ran out of vessels to fill. Joash, the king of Israel, could have completely destroyed his enemies, but he wasn’t aggressive enough. (2 Kings 13:18,19 "18And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. 19And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice..") Likewise, we often limit what God wants to do for us because we don’t fully embrace all He promises us in His Word. (Ps. 78:41 "Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel..)
