Matthew 14:28 Lord, if it’s you, Peter replied, tell me to come to you on the water.
This verse was spoken from a boat in a terrible storm by Peter who was looking at Jesus walking on water. Quite a scene if you ask me and quite a request. Peter, had already seen plenty of miracles at this point but here he’s asking for Jesus to perform yet another miracle that would enable Peter to walk on water.
I want to point out that Peter wasn’t satisfied with just being saved from the storm or he would’ve asked Jesus to just make the storm go away. No! he asked to walk on water in the middle of a storm as Jesus did. He wanted to be delivered from the storm with high expectations. W

Well if Jesus delivered me from addiction and I did nothing but rest in my deliverance than what good would it be, what purpose would be in saving me.
The storm is just the beginning people. Think of the impact it made to the other disciples when Peter for that moment, walked on water. When and if you came to Christ it doesn’t stop at deliverance from whatever storm you were in or going thru. God wants you to walk on water out of those situations. . He wants you to ask for miracles. Don’t stop at being saved, ask each day for him to do something with your deliverance, although it was given to you freely… it came with a cost.
