SCRIPTURE:

And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. (Mark 4:35)

DEVOTIONAL:

Jesus said to them, “Let us go over to the other side.” Now some people think that what He was simply saying was, “Let’s go over to the other side.” And that’s true…but He was also making a declaration. He was declaring the victory. You see, once Adam sinned, part of Adam’s sight was lost. It’s called revelation or discernment. Revelation is advanced knowledge from God. Jesus had a full spectrum of reality. Adam could see the natural world, and he could also look into the unseen world. Adam could see things and Jesus could see things. 

Jesus taught His disciples to pray to the Father, and He would show them things to come. So Jesus knew there would be demonic resistance as they journeyed across to the other side, but He decreed it and fell asleep as the disciples began the journey. He said, “We are going over to the other side.” And they succeeded in their journey.

PRAYER:

Father God, I praise You—I believe that through Jesus Christ in me, I can see things because You give me revelation into the natural and spiritual realm. I will succeed in my situation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
