Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.

All right, welcome back to the Daily Blade. We'll pick it up in Matthew 14.

Once again, immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other

side while he dismissed the crowds. And after he dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain

by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone. Hopefully now, you're one for one on

spending some time alone with the Lord. Verse 24, but the boat by this time was a long way from the

land beaten by the waves, for the wind was against him. And in the fourth watch of the night,

he came to them walking on the sea, but when the disciples saw him walking

on the sea, they were terrified and said, it is a ghost. And they cried out in fear. Fear is a

concept that is talked about all throughout the Bible. One of the things that fear will cause you to do

is fear will cause you to see things that aren't even there.

They think it's a ghost. It's not a ghost. It's Jesus. You see, I've talked about this a million times. The opposite of faith does not doubt. The opposite of faith is fear. You see, if you've got doubts and you've got unanswered questions, I got really good news. You can make a great disciple. And what we're told to do in the

Bible is if we've got doubts and unanswered questions, you just pick up your doubts and you follow

after Jesus. I get this from John chapter 6. Peter does not understand what Jesus is talking about

in John chapter 6 when Jesus says, unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no part with me.

And so the crowds begin to leave. And he looks at Peter and says, do you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no part with me. And so the crowds begin to leave.

And he looks at Peter and says, do you want to leave too?

And Peter looks around at his life and says, to where else will we go?

You're the only one that offers eternal life.

And even though Jesus doesn't explain himself, what Peter does is pick up his doubts and follow after Jesus.

And one day, your faith will become

sight and all of your doubts and confusion will go away. So the opposite of faith is not doubt.
