Can you sleep in a ship that is tossed and turned in the midst of a storm? Can you keep your peace? Do you have confidence of Me being in you (1 John 4: 4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.) Can you calm the storm? Can you restore faith to the faithless? All these are possible to them that believe.
As a general visiting his troops, the Lord (your God) visits before a battle. He knows your victory is assured, but wounds may occur. He is faithful and just to heal and give wisdom.
Why do the righteous turn? Why do these who hear by My Spirit return to the strength of their own arm? Wait on Me, in patience, remaining in peace no matter how the battle wages or the sea is tossed. Victory is not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit. In Me you are more than victorious. Remain in Me. Do not let your heart be troubled, for it is a seed (being troubled) to fall. Live in My Spirit.
What is the difference between the wise and the foolish (Matt. 25 virgins)? Faith! For it is by faith you please Me. The snare of knowledge keeps us from faith. It holds you back, keeping you from going where you would. Wisdom is the application of knowledge by faith. The difference may seem slight, but the proof is the light, the fire (the Baptism of the Holy Spirit evidenced by tongues), not the lamp. Do not be zealous for knowledge without wisdom. The wise in their own eyes will fall in their darkness.
Faithless and perverse generation. Appolos, a man mighty in word, knew not the Holy Spirit but when instructed humbled his knowledge to faith. Recognizing the force without (outside of himself) and allowed it to enter in, became obedient to it (the Holy Spirit), and spoke by the Holy Spirit. Is a greater than Appolos here this day? Recognize My Spirit and receive it with joy. Enter in. Love has no fear. Doubt has no peace. Perfect love casts out all fear. Doubt is unbelief.
Note: Sometimes I think about adding commentary. Then I hear, “if My (Gods’) words are Spirit, Truth and Life it’s not unto you (me) to explain, it’s up to the hearer to seek understanding”, or reject. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Amen, Dave.
The part about calming the storm and restoring faith to the faithless stirs me deeply.
The Lord has been ministering similar things to me, and I am sure all of His, the past few days. Wisdom is what we should desire from God, for He will pour out liberally upon those who ask sincerely.
There is a storm coming and we must be as Jesus was in the midst of all that is going to happen.
God be with you,
Ryan
