You raised me up to walk on stormy seas — those were the words I heard walking through the kitchen this morning. I stopped to listen and I’ve been rejoicing since.
He raised me up to walk on stormy seas.
HOLY SPIRIT, help me put on this screen what You have lavished in my spirit with the words of this song!
HE RAISED ME UP — JESUS the CHRIST has not come to put us down! He came to raise us up! Storms come. Storms come to every life. Lost or saved lives, storms come. Storms come to you. Storms come to me.
BUT JESUS came to raise us up to WALK on those tumultuous seas!
Not to drown.
Not for the life to be choked out of us but for us to WALK on those contrary waters!
Those gale-forced wind-tossed seas.
Those deep, dark, icy cold seas.
Yes, those seas!
Those very gale waters that are ripping around us right now. Look up and get up!
Right now GET UP in JESUS’ Name GET UP and Walk on them!
It’s your heritage! It’s His will for you! In JESUS Name rise up and walk, rise up and stand!
Romans 8: (New King James Version) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
But that’s not all I heard. I heard, ‘You raised me up to more than I can be.’
You raised me up to more than I can be. Yes! Yes, HE did!
He has raised us up for more than we have ever dreamed we could be! That is His heart for you. That is His heart for me – for us to be more than we alone can be!
1 Corinthians 2: (New King James Version)9 But as it is written:
“ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
Yes. Hear HIM today. He has raised you up for more than you are today! Believe it! Live it! That’s why He came! Hallelujah!
HOLY SPIRIT, I ask You to do what only You can do, make this message come alive in the heart in the spirit of each reader. Speak this song, speak this Scripture to each soul, help them believe and receive this lifting, the raising up that You so desire to do for each one of us. Peel back the darkness and show the glorious Light, the truth of this Gospel that You came LORD JESUS to raise us up. In You, we stand on mountains. In You, we walk on stormy seas. In You, we are more than we have yet to dream! In YOU LORD JESUS. In You!
Blessings and holy hugs, kt

Wow…I am so grateful for today’s devotion. We are struggling right now with some stormy seas and this was right on the mark for us! Our son with three children lost his job Friday and he is very despondent. You are right…times can be rocky but we have His assurance that He can see us through. love you and hugs back to you!
Thank you, Mabel. I am praying for you and your family — those are rough seas you described. I will stand with you as you believe Him for the calming and providing needed. And thanks for the love and hugs back. I accept. 🙂
