Authority, Permission, & Attention

"Jesus said, 'Come.' And when Peter obeyed the command... he walked on water." — Matthew 14:29

What if the impossible things in your life — the financial breakthrough, the wayward child, the calling that feels like too much — are already within reach, waiting for you to understand how authority actually works? The Centurion in Matthew 8 saw it: a command is only as powerful as the authority of the one commanding, and a command from the right authority in the right domain carries the power to make it happen.

In Part 2 of Doing the Impossible, Pastor Mark draws from Matthew 14, John 5, and Matthew 10 to unpack two revelations from Peter's experience on the water: that Jesus has complete, unmatched authority — and that His command carries the power to perform what He commands. But Peter's story also holds a critical lesson: your attention is the link to your faith. When Peter shifted his focus from Jesus to the wind, he stopped walking on water. You'll learn why the enemy fights so hard to redirect your attention, why doubt is simply entertaining a contrary voice, and how keeping your eyes fixed on Jesus makes His reality your reality.
