“Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

Subject: “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” (Luke 5:4b NKJV)

Some of us have limited vision and we only base our future plans and hopes on our own abilities, desires, and past experiences. This sometimes makes us reluctant to “By Faith” follow God. And we as humans sometimes don’t like demands being placed on us that are beyond our control and resources. However, remember it is written in (1 Cor. 2:5 KJV) “That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”

While moving out “By Faith” to a deeper place can sometimes be uncomfortable and an unpleasant place to be, however, if we are obedient to God’s instructions, this will be the place where the Blessings will be. And it will always involve us going “By Faith” beyond our own limited vision and resources. Where I believe God is sending Zion requires us to depend 100% on Him and His power (and not ours). So, if you feel a little helpless, and it looks like we are in over our heads, always remember who it was that created Zion and put us in Israel! (Josh. 1:8-9)

God also has now put us in position to have our own drilling rig in Israel, and this to me only means one thing: it is a confirmation that Zion will be drilling many more wells in Israel. And I’m expecting (“By Faith”) to drill our Megiddo Jezreel #1 well soon and to discover oil just like the Bible says “on the head of Joseph” and the tribe of Manasseh. (1 Chron. 5:1-2) (Gen. 49:8-22) (Deut. 33:13-16)

For we believe “By Faith,” (Heb. 10: 36-37) because “…without faith it is impossible to please him.” (Heb. 11:6 KJV)
