YOU Can Do IT

Luke 8:22-25
Now it come to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciple; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto other side of the lake.  And they launched forth. But as they sailed he fell asleep; and there came down a storm of wind on the lake and they were filled with water, and in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awake Him saying, Master, Master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the rage going of water; and they ceased and there was calm. And he said unto them, where is your faith?...
   John Alexander Dowie was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and moved to Australia as a young man. About 1875, while Downey was Pastoring a congregational church in Newton, Austrialia, a terrible plague swept through that part of the country. It was during this plagued that Dowie  first received light on divine healing and the authority that believers possess.
   I read that Dowie once said, "I have crossed the ocean  fourteen times by ship. During those fourteen crossing, many storms arose. But every time a storm came  up, I always did like Jesus did: I rebuked that storm.  And every single one ceased."
   Dowie knew that Jesus had said, "He that believe on me, the works that I do shall he do also..." Dowie knew that he was linked up with God. You and I are linked up with God just as much as Dowie or anybody else ever was.
