I love this story in Luke chapter 5, I ask you to read the first 11 verses.  When you do sit down in the boat with His disciples and listen to His words to us!  Jesus needed Peter’s boat so He could preach the gospel.  After using the boat, He blessed Peter’s fishing business and brought an abundance.  Jesus first told him to launch out a little from the shore.  Then He told him to launch out into the deep.  25 years ago Jesus spoke to me to start a tape ministry. We started with just a little, passing out my testimony on the road about 25 tapes a week.  As the ministry grew we kept launching out a little deeper.  As our ministry has grown we have launched out into the deep waters.  Our ministry has grown from a tape ministry to CD’S, Podcast, to Podcast Cards, to Radio to TV programs on crossflix.  You can find us on Roku, Fire-stick with our radio programs and TV programs.  As our ministry grows it cost us more to do all that God has called us to do.  We need our partners to join with us more now than ever.  We send out over 900 Newsletters CD & Podcast cards each month. We need faithful partners to join with us every month and keep this ministry fishing in the deep waters.  The need is bigger than ever and we need you to partner with us to reach your family, friends and neighbors. 
  God is saying your next, will be greater than your now!   But if you cannot perceive it then you will not be able to acknowledge when your season of increase has come.  Not just increase in your finances, but increase in your ministry, career and other aspects of your life.  God does not just want to bless you one way or a certain aspect of your life, he wants to bless every area of your life "do you not perceive it?"
Many people are afraid to go to the next level because they think what if I fail?  We need to turn that coin over and think what if I succeed!   Philippians 4:13 says We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.  So whatever God is calling us to do, we can do it!    Let Peter be our example.  Peter surrendered all to Jesus and followed Him.  Peter was later able to walk on water!  Although when Peter got discouraged when they captured Jesus and denied Him 3 times, Jesus never gave up on Peter.   In the book of Acts after Jesus went to Heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit to give His disciples the power that they needed to be all that Jesus had called them to be.  We See God use Peter heal a man who had been lame for 38 years.  We also see people healed by the shadow of Peter.  We later see God use Peter  to Heal a man who had been bedridden for 8 years and then he raised a young girl by the name of Tabitha from the dead.  All this and more from a man who had just a few years earlier had denied Christ. No matter what your circumstances are God wants to raise you up.  He has something bigger and better for you on the next level.  God has great things in store for you. Do not settle for where you are but go to the next level...  We need to be like Peter and say "Lord if that is you, let me come to you walking on the water."  It is time to get out of the boat and go to the next level. We can have Victory in Jesus!
