(26) But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O
you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there
was a great calm. (27) So the men marveled, saying, "Who can this be, that even
the winds and the sea obey Him?"

have no faith?" (41) And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, "Who
can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!"
(25) But He said to them, "Where is your faith?"
And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, "Who can this be? For
He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!" New

This reveals what the full measure of God's
Spirit can accomplish through a faithful human being. Jesus explains to His
disciples in Mark 11:23-24:
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, "Be removed and
be cast into the sea," and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those
things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to
you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and
you will have them.
We should understand that this promise stands firm for us too, if we ask
according to the will of God
(I John 5:14-15).
