Then He Arose And Rebuked The Wind

wise seeker

On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side." Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"

Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?" And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!" Mark 4:35-41

There are many religious ones who get offended at the notion that we can do whatever Jesus did even speaking to the storms and say "Peace, be still!" until there is a calm. They get offended at the idea that we can be little Jesus running around laying hands on the sick so that they will recover or casting out devils so that they might be free. But this is exactly what Jesus said His disciples are supposed to do:

And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith." So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. "And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down to eat'? "But will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink'? "Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.
"So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.' " Luke 17:5-10

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. John 14:12-14

Christ in you the hope of glory is not being a little Jesus?

wise seeker,

Do you view yourself as a little Jesus?
Is Jesus God?
Do you view yourself as a little God?
Do you believe in the Three Angels’ Messages?

It's obvious from your reply's that you are not a little Jesus? As for the book of Revelations for the last fifty years I have heard nothing but garbage spewed out from little gods who think that they have the only corner of truth about end time revelations and it was all hog wash especially Hal Lindsey the deceiver!

What is true about the book of Revelations was the there were seven real churches in Asia minor who were arrogant and proud like many so called Christians today and refused to hear what the Spirit was saying to these churches including:

Revelations 2:19 "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.
2:20 "Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
2:21 "And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.
2:22 "Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.
2:23 "I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.

The seven churches in Asia minor became a nonexistent thing?

So what God has done before He can and will do again. He will cast unrepentant ones who call themselves Christians into a sickbed and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation. He will kill their children with death, and all the churches shall know that He is He who searches the minds and hearts. And He gives to each one of them according to their works.

Now all this is something that you can take your money to the bank with because it's true. All the rest that fools preach about the book of Revelations is garbage!

wise seeker,

A little Jesus should be a little like Jesus.

Consider that Jesus was God’s own Son, yet, being fully God, He was extraordinarily humble.

Jesus veiled His glory. You seem to exaggerate yours.
There is no text in Scripture where Jesus is ranting. Why do you rant?
Consider that you began life full of sin without divinty, omniscience and power yet we are to follow Jesus’ example. He is the divine pattern. Do you think that you have any inclination whatsoever to humble yourself to the standard of humility Jesus set?

Who say we cannot be like Jesus' especially since we are already gods according to God's word:
Psalm 82:6 I said, "You are gods,

Anyway it's no fun talking with you because you are a broken record repeating yourself all the time and have nothing to offer that is real and will produce miracles in the lives of people.
