I Am the God who quiets the storm and stills the sea. Wind and weather obey My command. Creation and all the elements of nature bow to My orders. There is no storm too mighty; no earthquake too heavy; no flood too strong; no fire too raging for Me that I would not be Lord over it. I Am the Master over the elements! Trust My authority and trust the authority I gave you.
Remember when I was on the boat with my disciples and suddenly a furious storm came up.
They were so afraid while I was still sleeping. They woke me up in despair. Fear in their eyes; no faith or confidence. They cried: Lord, save us! And I just got up and rebuked the winds and the waves and it was completely calm. My disciples were so amazed and exclaimed: “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him.” (Matthew
8:23-27)
And I tell you: If you believe and trust Me, you will do the same works that I have done and you will do even greater things than I did. Therefore, let me challenge you into the greater things, into greater trust and into greater possibilities. Trust ME, the Master over the elements and the Lord of the impossible, and you will see mountains moved, storms calmed, fires quenched, people healed and freed. You have watched me do it, now YOU do it!

Read Matthew 8:23-27. As you read it, imagine yourself in the boat. See Me getting up and commanding the wind and the waves. Experience the absolute calm afterwards.
Now, read it a second time. But this time I command You that You get up and calm the wind and the waves. Do my actions! Speak my words! Do it in my authority! I have given you this authority. You have to get used to doing what I did, under My command and under My control. You have to learn to do things My way, in absolute trust in Me.
You might have to act the passage out a second and third time – I want you to see, hear, feel and experience what it does in the spiritual realm, in the natural realm, and in yourself when you use My authority over the elements of nature.
Matthew 8:23-27 (NIV)
Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
John 14:12 (ESV)
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
