Explain to me, how the disciples had rowed half way between Tiberius and Capernaum on the sea of Galilee in the midst of a storm. Then receiving Christ into the boat find themselves on the shoreline of their destination? Did Jesus not only stop the storm, but reveals how He did, by fast forwarding time? Joshua 10;13? God can control time and be everywhere at the same time, then in fact He can move us where and when He wants us. If in a boat then why not on land?

Being in the spirit, we become His tools which Satan has no control! In fact we become like the Angels! "Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

13And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

14And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

Not bad,

A common point to this is when Jesus walked on water: Peter asked Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee on the water."

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

But when he saw the wind boisterous(a huge wave), he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore(why, or for what) didst thou doubt?( waver, or hesitate)

Peter, He looked at the circumstances instead of the Lord. (took his eye's off) This was the secret of his (and of our) failure.

Thinks the moral of the event is; once the disciples received Christ, in the midle of the storm, they didn't take their (eyes off Him) and they were safe and sound on the shore.

Thank you. I never thought about that, when we stay focused on him time and space may not matter, but only him, in the midst of the storm he has all control. Lord help me to remember his word.
