@@jeremykiahsobyk102 Just because the movie came out in 2017, doesn’t mean that’s the year it was actually filmed. Filming began June 8, 2015. So he was 33 shortly after filing started.
Whenever I feel life getting a little too much. I watch this & remember to just keep my eyes on Jesus, who's ALWAYS there. I just got to remind myself to look sometimes
Is like the line Arthur Says to Patch Adams “You’re focusing on the problem, if you focus on the problem you can’t see the solution. Never focus on the problem look at Me!” It’s like Jesus taking to you!
This scene saves me from anxiety attacks and restlessness. Sometimes it can be a challenge to activate your faith when the chaos is crushing in on you. Being able to see and listen to this helps my mind to submit. This is a blessing for sure.
I love this scene & it helps me to stay calm. I passed a church today that always has a message. Today it read Faith Over Fear. I've been saying that to myself ever since reading it today. I think it's quite appropriate with the way things are in the world today. Bless you & stay safe 🙏
No medicine could help me, and I had jesus right infront of me. but I was blinded by sin...he cured my blindness and now I see that he is the only way to find true peace. Don't give up, have faith.
Me too! In 2018 I was suffering from severe anxiety and depression. My husband was desperate because even my faith was gone. He asked me to watch this movie with him, and this boat scene brought me to tears. It helped me to remember to take my eyes off of my fears and pain and to put my eyes back on Jesus.
My daughter passed away 1/31/18 and this was the movie she was watching the night before. Hoping she is resting and basking in the love of God and Heaven
I love how the Blackness in the water represents sin and when Jesus is walking on the water, it clears away! It reminds me that NOTHING can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ!!
That stepping out from the boat...THAT was the start of my recovery from a life-threatening addiction. Each step was an amazement that there was no way could have happened with me in charge. It blows my mind to see my encounter and leap of faith reinterpreted for the screen. I laughed as well... then and now ... out of astonishment of such grace.
me too. I was angry and carried that weight for decades. Jesus removed that pain and anger. some receive His grace instantly, and for some of us it takes years. Godspeed.
Try asking your abuser for forgiveness. I understand how that sounds. Its a complete flip from the norm. If you want to know more just ask. P.s I too was abused
I LOVE💖 THIS MOVIE!! TAUGHT ME ABOUT FORGIVENESS!! AS A YOUNG ADULT MY MOM WAS ROB & KILLED!! MY LIFE CHANGE OVERNIGHT & THE HATRED I CARRY IN MY HEART FOR THAT MAN NEVER WENT AWAY UNTIL I WATCHED THIS MOVIE!! I TRULY BELIEVE GOD WAS TALKING DIRECTLY TO MY HEART!! I BEEN MAD AT HIM FOR TAKING MY MOM AWAY!! THIS MOVIE TAUGHT ME ALOT & I THANK GOD FOR TEACHING ME WISDOM THROUGH THIS MOVIE!!
Theresa Jones I'm so glad you find the peace and the closure only God can give us. I know your mom is with our Father safe and sound and experience a everlasting life free of pain and suffering. She is happy and peace waiting for the day she will be reunite with her baby girl.
Theresa Jones I'm so glad you found peace I'm sorry for your loss but knowing you and your mom will be together again one day will help you get through one day at a time until our lord calls you home. God bless you
Amen sis Dr. Charles Stanley has a sermon titled “ Victom or Victor” it’s actually downloaded here on CZcams it’s like on a smaller screen setting but it explains if we believe and acknowledge that GOD IS SOVEREIGN we are never victims of our circumstances MAY THE LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU MAY HIS FACE SHINE HIS UPON YOU
This scene touched me from the depths of my being!! I never get tired of it because we must never stop trusting and believing no matter the circumstances. God bless us all.
I love how no matter what is bothering you in your life - heart, soul, mind and body - that when Jesus shows up, its game over. It's a wrap. You're saved. You're good... For eternity.
The Jesus in this movie is amazing! I truly believe God speaks to me through this actor's portrayal of Christ. IT shows so much realness and love through how much casual He meets Mack(and us) and the power of friendship with Christ! I think portraying Jesus as a close friend and the Best is so powerful and strong and relatable. He makes you really feel like HE is there right with you, sharing life together!
yeah.I agree, I had the same feeling when I watched this movie last night, though it has many errors in the movie..But the lesson I learned , is that LEARN to trust GOD to set our hearts to forgive those who made sin against us even its hard to do..really nice movie..GOD'S LOVE NEVER FAIL!
This, to me, represented my 11 agonizing years of anxiety... In all that time, I wanted so much to hear what Mackenzie heard in this scene... And eventually, I truly do believe that I did.
In the name of Jesus Christ command evil to leave you alone cause all things are possible in the name of Jesus Christ our Brother, Lord & Savior, Amen. If you Believe
Dont listen to your inner voice Instead LISTEN TO GOD Stop looking in the past Instead look in the eyes of GOD Dont be afraid my friend GOD is with you You are not alone ❤️
I believe god is your inner voice, you just have to learn to trust it on what it is. Life meaning is quite simple, but us as human beings have been raised and have been through situations that blind us from that. We just have to remember that our father is always with us, and us with him.
I love how McKenzie at the 3:27 steps in and wants to say, “Oh shit.” But knows who he’s with and instead says, “Oh, sh-sh-sh-sh.” 😂 I know that would be all of us in that moment.
this movie had me in tears from beginning to end, the scene that hit hard the most and should have opened EVERYONE'S eyes and have a change of perception was when he faced wisdom, oh my oh my, my tears fell so hard
This scene had a profound effect on my life and especially the 5:00 mark talking about how we as man have used organized religion to divide us when instead we should use Christ's teachings to bring us together.
Michael Wawee Jr. I think that's the problem with religion. There's not enough room in the world for more than one almighty God. And people aren't going to come together through the teachings of a god that isn't their God. Muslims probably won't come together with Christians because of Jesus but they might because of Allah, if that makes any sense
I feel like this video reminds me that all of us are going through some crazy times with COVID. Whenever I watch this video, I feel like gods telling us not to worry OR be anxious about anything (Phillippians 4) but god is telling us all to keep our eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12).
Don't let anything consume you. Sometimes we all get caught chasing over the perception of perfect and being "happy" and don't acknowledge Jesus , rather we live blindly in the influence of the universe. But here's Jesus once more saying i am here keep your eyes on me, I love you and I will always, ALWAYS walk with you. I made you with my own hands for good now walk along me and I will give you love and eternal life.
My faith is strong but I'm am still scared. I love this scene in the movie because it reminds me that it's in my mind & to focus on Jesus to help get past my fears. Prayers to all that we WILL get through this together 🙏
BEAUTIFULLY IN OVER MY HEAD! I've surrendered, lost control but am free. Will we chose the shore or land? He will bring your heart away from the shore. I AM in over my head ♡
My brother and I lost our closest cousin who was more like a brother to us in a car accident in June 2020. This movie has really helped us out with our pain in our grieving process and has reminded us that we will see him again and that we know he is with Jesus Christ right now watching over us both!!
You see, this is why people who blame God should watch this. The evil that happens in this world isn't because of God, the evil is the Devil and you let that evil consume you, you get blind that you lose your sight of God.
lorna anderson but the devil is also God, if God created and owns everything, so he created the devil, he controls the devil, therefore evrrything the devil does, it's actually God does.
@@Yuval012 God creates devil good. God does allow devil to do bad things, but by doing those bad things, devil isn't helping himself. He is only dooming himself.
I was just diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and I read that anxieties mean God wants you to get closer to him and my gf has me watching this movie and I cried...
The Christians who think this movie is not of God don't know really what this movie is about. They've read into things wrongly. This is an very well done movie.
When things get tough... I just love coming back to this scene so reassuring... As hard as it is it reminds me that God's faithfulness will not abandon me... And HE is not the mastermind behind the bad things we come across in life...
Keep your eyes on me Mac I’m not going anywhere jesus I love u this is so deep we go through so much and we lose focus with Jesus keep your faith and trust in Jesus and you will be fine
I can see that we have many judges in these comments. Some people haven't understood even one single thing. They only know how to criticize as if they were perfect people. What a pity!
jbrdbr111 I say this in LOVE. It starts with one YES, on your part. One YES. GOD'S gift of Free Will. A choice each of us have whether to turn from His Unfailing Incomprehensible Unconditional LOVE or to stop being selfish with our time and our life and stop trying to do things on our own understanding that every other avenue/direction/destructive path we take will Fail. Despite our past, despite our struggles despite our story. Everyone has a different story. GOD says Come as you are. I Will take you as you are. He is Always there with arms wide open (patiently waiting) saying, "Come child. I LOVE You. I Will walk this journey with you." So it's Free Will. Again Free Will to turn and stay stubborn stuck in our ways not open to change or say YES and watch GOD work and move in Big ways in and through our Life. Like in this clip, Mack had a concious decision to make. Free Will to Fix his eyes on JESUS, Trust Him, grab His hand and walk on water (like the story of Peter and JESUS in the bible) ... or choose to stay stuck in his mess allowing the enemy to amplify the voices in his head. Allowing the enemy to decieve him and lie to him. It would have been the most horrific nightmare if he didn't choose to Trust JESUS and grab His hand. Make this your Reality beyond the reality your currently living. I encourage you to put GOD First and say YES. 😇💯🙏 Your awesome :)
jbrdbr111 hey jb... I just wanted to pass on something to you that happened in my life. It was the day my addiction ended, and I finally gave up trying myself but instead let God guide me. It's a very long story, and I know you don't have time for it... So I'll skip over quite a bit of it. I found myself in a Barnes & Noble. So much had happened that day, and I was somewhat in a daze. I didn't even realize that I was standing in front of an Addiction and Recovery section of the store. I reached out and my hand fell upon a book. As I pulled the book off the shelf it naturally opened to a specific page. On that page was a poem. The day up to that point had been so surreal that I looked upon all of this as God directing every aspect of the universe. So what else could I do but read the poem? Here is that poem... a As children bring their toys With tears for us to mend I brought my Broken Dreams to God because he was my friend. But then instead of leaving him in peace to work alone, I hung around and tried to help With ways that were my own. At last I snatched them back and cried, "How could you be so slow???" "My child," He said, "what could I do? You never did let go." It was in that moment, just like with this man in the boat, that I took God's hand and asked him to lead the way. It hasn't been easy, but with God's help, it has been possible. I have now been in serious recovery and blessed sobriety for nearly 16 years. The Lord can do it with you... but you have to let go. It's the toughest thing ever to open up your arms and say, "go ahead. Take my life and turn it around. I'll let you take the lead." Because it's the exact opposite of everything your selfish life wants you to do... and absolutely everything you NEED to do. God bless you on this journey ahead of you. You can't imagine how beautiful it is on the other side.
Thank you for your kind, well thought out reply with such an amazing story. I am trying, I really am trying my best to stop looking down at myself sinking (it's not easy for sure) I almost died due to health related issues on 3 occasions so obviously I am here on Earth for a reason, I don't know the exact reason God has chosen to give me continued life but I am struggling to fight the demons who tell me I'm worthless, who tell me to just stop trying etc. After having my wife run off on me, My employer terminate me, family pass before my eyes and Debt beyond comprehension I always try to keep my eyes away from the bad the best I can, but some days I just can't help but look at the boat and think if I'll ever stop sinking. I've wasted the better part of a year struggling and I feel frustrated with myself for not doing more than I have. The spiritual side of me says trust his word and everything is in HIS timing, the Flesh side of me feels pain and stress from not seeing any good coming my way, I am a good person who always tries my best, so at times I am on the fence wondering if I am being punished, or am I just waiting out time for something greater?
jbrdbr111.... In recovery, we call that "stinkin thinkin". Everyone is loaded with it...EVERYONE. that day that I told you about, it started to come to a boil when I was doing some stinkin thinkin. I was so angry because I saw myself as a victim. I couldn't get what I wanted. I certainly wasn't getting what I believed I deserved. And I was Furious. I'll get back to the story in a moment but I want to go to another aspect of stinkin thinkin. At one point, early in my addiction recovery, I was talking to another recovering addict who happened to work at a church. I told him how I had always looked at God and my relationship. I always saw God as disapproving of me. I would picture this man with his arms crossed just shaking his head back and forth and rolling his eyes at all of my life's fumbles. I saw myself as always apologizing to him for every step I took because of course every step was wrong. I got to a point that if I was ever having trouble or just not doing well, instead of going to God in prayer, I would say, "God you keep walking. I'll take care of this mess and then I'll catch up with you." It was my way of trying to get God not to look at the mess I had made - because in my world you never asked for help you hid when you were in need. You would only present yourself when you were perfected. Which in my case, was never. The gentleman said, "I think you don't understand what grace means. Am I right? What do you think grace is." Well, I don't think I really do know what that word means. It's a churchy word, but no I don't think I could tell you it's definition. He told me that Grace was God's love and all the blessings he had stored up for me were mine... Not because I did a good job. Not because I cleaned up my mess or didn't have a mess in the first place. Not because I smiled nicely or prayed perfectly. Grace is the fact that God loves me just for who I am. PERIOD. I scoffed. I mean, come on ... be serious. We're talking about me, and I am the epitome of a screw-up. I went on to tell this gentleman that I truly believed that God loved him, and her, and her, and him, and him... but God could not and did not love me. After all, who could? Then the man said, "I see. so you think God's an idiot." What??? Did I say that??? "Well obviously, YOU know better than God, right? Here God has been telling people throughout history that he loves them no matter what. And you think that that doesn't fit you, that there's no way God loves you. So obviously you are the one exception that calls God out as an idiot for thinking He could possibly love everyone individually." That just hit me right between my eyes. Of course God knew better than me. And if He says He loves me, and if He says He wants to grant me this grace that I absolutely don't deserve (never could earn it or pay Him back for it).... then, as crazy as it seems, I guess God loves me. (Is that possible????) Shortly after that conversation, I found my life verse in the Bible. I think it's a verse that might help you as well. It's Jeremiah 29 11. "For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. "Plans for good and not for disaster. Plans to give you hope and a future." SERIOUSLY?? If all God had planed for me was a future of one more day with Him loving me (through His AMAZING grace) ... It was one day I certainly hadn't deserved... but I'll TAKE it and be eternally grateful. - - - - Years later, I can't TELL you all the wonderful things God has put in my way. I see them each as gifts of grace that I never deserved, but were given because He loved me so much. That grace is set for you too.That grace and the wonderful future that He has planned for you ... and you simply can't see yet. Now I would like to get back to that beginning story. I told you I was furious. Actually I was in my car screaming at the top of my lungs about why wasn't I allowed to have everything I wanted? Didn't God love me? Didn't He know what I was going through? Didn't He think I deserved to be happy just a little? I tell you, I was screaming. And every inch of me was tense and angry.... and every everything in me just wanted to stomp, and crush, and protest. It was then I actually heard the voice of God talking to my soul. ..... Yes, I know.... this is the part of the story where anyone with any speck of sense would write me off as cuckoo. What in the world am I thinking that I actually heard God's voice talking to me. No it had to be my conscience, or me just debating back and forth with myself...... but I want to tell you how I knew it was God's voice that very moment. I was livid and couldn't even think straight. This voice had a calm that I have never known in my life. I was so angry that all I could see was my tiny, focused target of anger. This voice wanted me to move away from that anger and take a walk towards peace which was nothing I would have been able to do in that moment. This voice was speaking with a logic that was beyond me at the time. It wasn't this huge conversation. Actually it was only three words (no.... not "I love you." But, "are we fighting?"... it made sense for my story, but it was nothing I could have possibly come up with at the time.) I've never heard the voice since, but in that moment, I started to understand how to truly listen. Since then, I have seen God's direction in many different events and signs that He puts before me. Sometimes it's the actions of others, sometimes it's just unbelievable coincidences that happen. JB .... perhaps God is waiting to speak to you and for you to hear His voice so that he can start to show you that wonderful future He has planned for you. Make sure that you're listening. You'll know it's Him, because the grace that He's going to show you will be beyond anything you could have come up with yourself. I wish you an absolutely blessed life, but nothing I could even dream up for you will begin to touch upon the grace that is already laid out and just waiting for you to receive it.
you were already forgiven when Jesus died on the cross. No human is free of sin. But it is Jesus and His blood that washes away our sin. If not for Jesus, the Father would never accept a single one of us. We are flesh and living in a cruel world. All we can do is fight the temptations of this world and never stop trusting Jesus. See you on the other side :)
Jesus forgives you already (if you're a Christian), however, everybody sins; being a Christian doesn't mean we're perfect. We still sin daily... but God's grace covers the Christian's sins when we sincerely ask Him to forgive us
Growing up in a divorced home was my first heart break as a child, I held onto all the good memories which were very little I failed terribly in school because I could never let go of my problems at home and was overall depressed and would have a lot of anxiety at school because when I was a freshman a group of people I thought were my friends helped my gf cheat on me and then my close friend laced me with K2 this sent me into a very bad state of mind to where I didn’t trust anyone and wouldn’t open up about anything so this scene meant a lot to me and truly opened up my eyes I understand now that I can’t hold onto that stuff and I have to continue to love like I did before and stop judging people based off looks clothes and all this other stuff because we all have a story I just need to let go of my pain so I can help someone else with theirs
You're talking about your story, that's brave & a very big step. We all do have a story & sometimes you'll find that people have maybe give through some of the same things you have. Faith Over Fear, I tell myself that to help me get by at times
I’ve given my life to god recently went to church 3 times and drove myself to youth night where I was surrounded by a bunch of positive teens, god has been changing me since I’ve watched that movie I see my wrongs and everyday I’m trying to fix them and just be the best version of myself I can possibly be.
@@Joho22 Amen to that! I'm say that I'm a work in progress. If you haven't seen the series on DVD, Restoring The Shack, I recommend it. The author who wrote the book, takes you into each part of the movie. It's really AMAZING & help me further in my journey with God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit. God Bless you 🙏❤️
Is like the line Arthur Says to Patch Adams “You’re focusing on the problem, if you focus on the problem you can’t see the solution. Never focus on the problem look at Me!” It’s like Jesus taking to you!
I lost both my brothers in the same year. I’ve been feeling tormented and depressed everyday. When I watch this scene I feel Jesus speaking to me as if I was in the boat
OMG so happy they have just this clip😱😱😱😱. My favorite scene in the movie. Watched this scene at least 10x. 2nd fave scene was when he decided to walk on water by himself and was told 'it's easier with Me'- so true. Another fave scene was with Lady Wisdom in the mountains, when he was told to choose one of his children and he said, 'i will take their place' that was heartbreaking...made me understand what Jesus did for us.
In the gospels when the disciples where in the boat an in a storm an they thought they saw a ghost an they were afraid an JESUS said "don't be afraid" an peter said is that you LORD!!!! An JESUS said "if you believe it is me step out the boat onto the water an keep your eves on me an peter stepped onto an started walking on the water an a noise distracted peter!!!! An peter started sinking an peter said LORD don't let me die an JESUS grabbed peter an put him back on the boat an the moral of this true story is even when you don't keep your eyes on JESUS HE still has HIS EYES on you to teach to keep your eyes on HIM!!!! When you take your eyes off JESUS an onto your circumstances the circumstances will deal with you but when you keep your eyes on JESUS you will be able to deal with the circumstances!!!! GOD is not a religion but a relationship thru JESUS CHRIST it is not a religion of rules we couldn't keep anyway that was the whole purpose of the LAW that GOD sent thru Moses to point out are sins an we couldn't keep HIS LAW an sent us a SAVIOR that kept it for us!!!! An far as being changed was an addicted to alcohol an drugs an a broke heart trying to mend with a relationship looking for love to fill an emptiness in my heart!!!! An by the GRACE of GOD delivered from drugs an alcohol an filled an mended heart an it took eighteen years after SALVATION an jail to experience that was always there after SA;VATION!!!! But it wasn't GOD fault i didn't let the ONE who saved me do it for me but now this 3/18 6 years sober an clean from alcohol an this 9/18 8 years from drugs, and the WORD of GOD it says " not in your might but in MY MIGHT" !!!! An also in the WORD it says " don't rely on yourself but the ONE WHO raised JESUS from the dead" an also " if anyone is in CHRIST JESUS is new creation an creature the old is past the is new is here or come"!!!! The old is drugs an alcohol an the new is free from whatever that is it is universal it goes with anything thru JESUS CHRIST GOD changed you not perfect but changed!!!! The perfection is GOD when you let GOD be GOD in that moment you will act perfect in the WORD of GOD it says " you don't know when but when I reveal MYSELF you will act just like ME"!!!! So GOD BLESS everyone comments an have a very BLESSED everyday an NEW YEAR to a new beginning that's never ending an have a very BLESSED Dads an Moms Day an by GODS GRACE we are!!!! So GOD will be HIS example thru us for HIS an our children children ETERNAL SALVATION because when that is on lock there future is secured!!!!

The Jesus in this movie is amazing! I truly believe God speaks to me through this actor's portrayal of Christ. IT shows so much realness and love through how much casual He meets Mack(and us) and the power of friendship with Christ! I think portraying Jesus as a close friend and the Best is so powerful and strong and relatable. He makes you really feel like HE is there right with you, sharing life together!
yeah.I agree, I had the same feeling when I watched this movie last night, though it has many errors in the movie..But the lesson I learned , is that LEARN to trust GOD to set our hearts to forgive those who made sin against us even its hard to do..really nice movie..GOD'S LOVE NEVER FAIL!
Dude, Jesus was so chill in this movie x)
Yes!! that is so true.

This scene is a most powerful meaningful scene in this movie.
Keep your focus on Jesus!!!
Trust on HIM!!!
Let go, Let God...
Anita B along with the Wisdom scene... Probably my all-time favorite
This, to me, represented my 11 agonizing years of anxiety... In all that time, I wanted so much to hear what Mackenzie heard in this scene... And eventually, I truly do believe that I did.
"Dont look at it, Mack, look here!" So true!! Never let the past consume you, cause Jesus is stronger!
Julia Eileen Polzer amen
Juls. I saw this yesterday
In the name of Jesus Christ command evil to leave you alone cause all things are possible in the name of Jesus Christ our Brother, Lord & Savior, Amen.
If you Believe
Juls amen
Amen!
I must continue to keep my eyes on Christ not Satans lies
Amen
Don't look at the darkness look at the light where Jesus is in your heart ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dont listen to your inner voice
Instead LISTEN TO GOD
Stop looking in the past
Instead look in the eyes of GOD
Dont be afraid my friend
GOD is with you
You are not alone ❤️
Dontmindme amen 🙏🏾
I believe god is your inner voice, you just have to learn to trust it on what it is. Life meaning is quite simple, but us as human beings have been raised and have been through situations that blind us from that. We just have to remember that our father is always with us, and us with him.
I love how McKenzie at the 3:27 steps in and wants to say, “Oh shit.” But knows who he’s with and instead says, “Oh, sh-sh-sh-sh.” 😂 I know that would be all of us in that moment.
This movie is the most powerful peice of art and belief i've ever seen
This is my favorite scene. I could watch it over and over again.
this movie had me in tears from beginning to end, the scene that hit hard the most and should have opened EVERYONE'S eyes and have a change of perception was when he faced wisdom, oh my oh my, my tears fell so hard
The shack always makes me cry😭😭 the book is good too
I consider myself to be a mans man, but I watched this last night and it moved me to tears. Guess that means I belong to Jesus now.
This scene had a profound effect on my life and especially the 5:00 mark talking about how we as man have used organized religion to divide us when instead we should use Christ's teachings to bring us together.
Michael Wawee Jr. I think that's the problem with religion. There's not enough room in the world for more than one almighty God. And people aren't going to come together through the teachings of a god that isn't their God. Muslims probably won't come together with Christians because of Jesus but they might because of Allah, if that makes any sense
Alan Ortega k
Michael Wawee Jr. wow never thought it like that but yea religion is stupid I rather focus on Jesus and what he teaches
Michael Wawee Jr. same revelation happened to me today!!!!
@@alanortega3481 allah is the same as jesus, they wont come together because of the expectations that and rules that religion comes with .
This was probably my favorite scene in the movie. And when they race across the water :)
I feel like this video reminds me that all of us are going through some crazy times with COVID. Whenever I watch this video, I feel like gods telling us not to worry OR be anxious about anything (Phillippians 4) but god is telling us all to keep our eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12).
Great lesson about trusting Jesus
What a most realistic representation of Jesus ever.
COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE....
this is how I see Jesus.
Don't let anything consume you. Sometimes we all get caught chasing over the perception of perfect and being "happy" and don't acknowledge Jesus , rather we live blindly in the influence of the universe. But here's Jesus once more saying i am here keep your eyes on me, I love you and I will always, ALWAYS walk with you. I made you with my own hands for good now walk along me and I will give you love and eternal life.
Lex Bugarin true
AMEN sis
Amen
Hits home!
My faith is strong but I'm am still scared. I love this scene in the movie because it reminds me that it's in my mind & to focus on Jesus to help get past my fears. Prayers to all that we WILL get through this together 🙏
This was one of the most incredibly touching movies I have ever seen. Outstanding hardly describes it. It changed my life forever.
Im wrecked 😭reading all these testimony in the coments. Praise God
Looking into Jesus the author and perfector of our faith. Beautiful portrayal!!
Thanks for posting this ! POWERFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Dont forget what you've learned"
My favorite line
This movie helped me to forget the past pain of my life.
When all you see is your pain, you lose sight of me.
BEAUTIFULLY IN OVER MY HEAD! I've surrendered, lost control but am free. Will we chose the shore or land? He will bring your heart away from the shore. I AM in over my head ♡
My brother and I lost our closest cousin who was more like a brother to us in a car accident in June 2020. This movie has really helped us out with our pain in our grieving process and has reminded us that we will see him again and that we know he is with Jesus Christ right now watching over us both!!
You see, this is why people who blame God should watch this. The evil that happens in this world isn't because of God, the evil is the Devil and you let that evil consume you, you get blind that you lose your sight of God.
lorna anderson but the devil is also God, if God created and owns everything, so he created the devil, he controls the devil, therefore evrrything the devil does, it's actually God does.
@@Yuval012 God creates devil good.
God does allow devil to do bad things, but by doing those bad things, devil isn't helping himself. He is only dooming himself.
I completely disagree Lorna god is both evil n good that’s why God
Hallelujah, yes JESUS
@@Yuval012 God is keeping Satan on a leash. Anything he allows him to do is for a purpose.
I was just diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and I read that anxieties mean God wants you to get closer to him and my gf has me watching this movie and I cried...
The Christians who think this movie is not of God don't know really what this movie is about. They've read into things wrongly. This is an very well done movie.
This is my favorite scene in any movie
Also I cry every time I watch this movie
Me too! It gives me strength when I'm feeling like everything is getting too much ♥️🙏
Why dont you just command him to bite your hook? Wheres the fun in that. 🎣💙💙
When Jesus returns and ruling for 1,000 years. I hope I have the chance to walk on water with him! 🙏
Amen
I love this movie! And this scene is so powerful!
This scene hits me so hard. This made me realize a lot of things. 🙂😭
The boat scene resembles anxiety perfectly at times
When things get tough... I just love coming back to this scene so reassuring... As hard as it is it reminds me that God's faithfulness will not abandon me... And HE is not the mastermind behind the bad things we come across in life...
the first time I saw this scene I freaked out when josh Phillips (Mack's son) was screaming underwater LOL.
this movie was awesome
lol the book depicts Jesus as ugly , but this movie shows a gorgeous Jesus lol i love it
I always watch this when I’m having a panic attack, works every time :)))) Bless the Lord of my soul.
I don't care what you call me I just want people to be changed by knowing me ❤❤
Keep your eyes on me Mac I’m not going anywhere jesus I love u this is so deep we go through so much and we lose focus with Jesus keep your faith and trust in Jesus and you will be fine
I love this move!❤️
BTW this is beautiful
I can see that we have many judges in these comments. Some people haven't understood even one single thing. They only know how to criticize as if they were perfect people. What a pity!
I've seen this movie before. I didn't understand it at first. But I watched it again then I understood what the movie was about.
Excellent movie n recommended. God bless.😇😁
I'm still sinking in the boat at this point in my life :(
jbrdbr111 I say this in LOVE. It starts with one YES, on your part. One YES. GOD'S gift of Free Will. A choice each of us have whether to turn from His Unfailing Incomprehensible Unconditional LOVE or to stop being selfish with our time and our life and stop trying to do things on our own understanding that every other avenue/direction/destructive path we take will Fail. Despite our past, despite our struggles despite our story. Everyone has a different story. GOD says Come as you are. I Will take you as you are. He is Always there with arms wide open (patiently waiting) saying, "Come child. I LOVE You. I Will walk this journey with you." So it's Free Will. Again Free Will to turn and stay stubborn stuck in our ways not open to change or say YES and watch GOD work and move in Big ways in and through our Life. Like in this clip, Mack had a concious decision to make. Free Will to Fix his eyes on JESUS, Trust Him, grab His hand and walk on water (like the story of Peter and JESUS in the bible) ... or choose to stay stuck in his mess allowing the enemy to amplify the voices in his head. Allowing the enemy to decieve him and lie to him. It would have been the most horrific nightmare if he didn't choose to Trust JESUS and grab His hand. Make this your Reality beyond the reality your currently living.
I encourage you to put GOD First and say YES. 😇💯🙏 Your awesome :)
jbrdbr111 hey jb... I just wanted to pass on something to you that happened in my life. It was the day my addiction ended, and I finally gave up trying myself but instead let God guide me. It's a very long story, and I know you don't have time for it... So I'll skip over quite a bit of it.
I found myself in a Barnes & Noble. So much had happened that day, and I was somewhat in a daze. I didn't even realize that I was standing in front of an Addiction and Recovery section of the store. I reached out and my hand fell upon a book. As I pulled the book off the shelf it naturally opened to a specific page. On that page was a poem. The day up to that point had been so surreal that I looked upon all of this as God directing every aspect of the universe. So what else could I do but read the poem? Here is that poem... a
As children bring their toys
With tears for us to mend
I brought my Broken Dreams to God
because he was my friend.
But then instead of leaving him
in peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
With ways that were my own.
At last I snatched them back and cried,
"How could you be so slow???"
"My child," He said, "what could I do?
You never did let go."
It was in that moment, just like with this man in the boat, that I took God's hand and asked him to lead the way.
It hasn't been easy, but with God's help, it has been possible. I have now been in serious recovery and blessed sobriety for nearly 16 years. The Lord can do it with you... but you have to let go. It's the toughest thing ever to open up your arms and say, "go ahead. Take my life and turn it around. I'll let you take the lead." Because it's the exact opposite of everything your selfish life wants you to do... and absolutely everything you NEED to do.
God bless you on this journey ahead of you. You can't imagine how beautiful it is on the other side.
Thank you for your kind, well thought out reply with such an amazing story. I am trying, I really am trying my best to stop looking down at myself sinking (it's not easy for sure) I almost died due to health related issues on 3 occasions so obviously I am here on Earth for a reason, I don't know the exact reason God has chosen to give me continued life but I am struggling to fight the demons who tell me I'm worthless, who tell me to just stop trying etc.
After having my wife run off on me, My employer terminate me, family pass before my eyes and Debt beyond comprehension I always try to keep my eyes away from the bad the best I can, but some days I just can't help but look at the boat and think if I'll ever stop sinking. I've wasted the better part of a year struggling and I feel frustrated with myself for not doing more than I have. The spiritual side of me says trust his word and everything is in HIS timing, the Flesh side of me feels pain and stress from not seeing any good coming my way, I am a good person who always tries my best, so at times I am on the fence wondering if I am being punished, or am I just waiting out time for something greater?
jbrdbr111.... In recovery, we call that "stinkin thinkin". Everyone is loaded with it...EVERYONE. that day that I told you about, it started to come to a boil when I was doing some stinkin thinkin. I was so angry because I saw myself as a victim. I couldn't get what I wanted. I certainly wasn't getting what I believed I deserved. And I was Furious. I'll get back to the story in a moment but I want to go to another aspect of stinkin thinkin.
At one point, early in my addiction recovery, I was talking to another recovering addict who happened to work at a church. I told him how I had always looked at God and my relationship. I always saw God as disapproving of me. I would picture this man with his arms crossed just shaking his head back and forth and rolling his eyes at all of my life's fumbles. I saw myself as always apologizing to him for every step I took because of course every step was wrong. I got to a point that if I was ever having trouble or just not doing well, instead of going to God in prayer, I would say, "God you keep walking. I'll take care of this mess and then I'll catch up with you." It was my way of trying to get God not to look at the mess I had made - because in my world you never asked for help you hid when you were in need. You would only present yourself when you were perfected. Which in my case, was never.
The gentleman said, "I think you don't understand what grace means. Am I right? What do you think grace is."
Well, I don't think I really do know what that word means. It's a churchy word, but no I don't think I could tell you it's definition.
He told me that Grace was God's love and all the blessings he had stored up for me were mine... Not because I did a good job. Not because I cleaned up my mess or didn't have a mess in the first place. Not because I smiled nicely or prayed perfectly. Grace is the fact that God loves me just for who I am. PERIOD.
I scoffed. I mean, come on ... be serious. We're talking about me, and I am the epitome of a screw-up. I went on to tell this gentleman that I truly believed that God loved him, and her, and her, and him, and him... but God could not and did not love me. After all, who could?
Then the man said, "I see. so you think God's an idiot." What??? Did I say that???
"Well obviously, YOU know better than God, right? Here God has been telling people throughout history that he loves them no matter what. And you think that that doesn't fit you, that there's no way God loves you. So obviously you are the one exception that calls God out as an idiot for thinking He could possibly love everyone individually." That just hit me right between my eyes. Of course God knew better than me. And if He says He loves me, and if He says He wants to grant me this grace that I absolutely don't deserve (never could earn it or pay Him back for it).... then, as crazy as it seems, I guess God loves me. (Is that possible????)
Shortly after that conversation, I found my life verse in the Bible. I think it's a verse that might help you as well. It's Jeremiah 29 11. "For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. "Plans for good and not for disaster. Plans to give you hope and a future." SERIOUSLY?? If all God had planed for me was a future of one more day with Him loving me (through His AMAZING grace) ... It was one day I certainly hadn't deserved... but I'll TAKE it and be eternally grateful. - - - - Years later, I can't TELL you all the wonderful things God has put in my way. I see them each as gifts of grace that I never deserved, but were given because He loved me so much.
That grace is set for you too.That grace and the wonderful future that He has planned for you ... and you simply can't see yet.
Now I would like to get back to that beginning story. I told you I was furious. Actually I was in my car screaming at the top of my lungs about why wasn't I allowed to have everything I wanted? Didn't God love me? Didn't He know what I was going through? Didn't He think I deserved to be happy just a little? I tell you, I was screaming. And every inch of me was tense and angry.... and every everything in me just wanted to stomp, and crush, and protest.
It was then I actually heard the voice of God talking to my soul. ..... Yes, I know.... this is the part of the story where anyone with any speck of sense would write me off as cuckoo. What in the world am I thinking that I actually heard God's voice talking to me. No it had to be my conscience, or me just debating back and forth with myself...... but I want to tell you how I knew it was God's voice that very moment.
I was livid and couldn't even think straight. This voice had a calm that I have never known in my life.
I was so angry that all I could see was my tiny, focused target of anger. This voice wanted me to move away from that anger and take a walk towards peace which was nothing I would have been able to do in that moment.
This voice was speaking with a logic that was beyond me at the time. It wasn't this huge conversation. Actually it was only three words (no.... not "I love you." But, "are we fighting?"... it made sense for my story, but it was nothing I could have possibly come up with at the time.) I've never heard the voice since, but in that moment, I started to understand how to truly listen. Since then, I have seen God's direction in many different events and signs that He puts before me. Sometimes it's the actions of others, sometimes it's just unbelievable coincidences that happen.
JB .... perhaps God is waiting to speak to you and for you to hear His voice so that he can start to show you that wonderful future He has planned for you. Make sure that you're listening. You'll know it's Him, because the grace that He's going to show you will be beyond anything you could have come up with yourself. I wish you an absolutely blessed life, but nothing I could even dream up for you will begin to touch upon the grace that is already laid out and just waiting for you to receive it.
jbrdbr111 I'll be praying for you 🖤
Best scene in the movie. It's kinda funny that he's freaking out, when he was so afraid to put his foot in the water.
Faith
I hope to walk with Jesus some day ❤❤
This is a really good movie! 🦋
"You are imagining a future without me and that future does not exist.I promise to be with you always right. And I'm right here."
I love this scene
This scene makes me cry Everytime 🙏🏻 love you Jesus!!!
God forgive all my sins. I will stop.
you were already forgiven when Jesus died on the cross. No human is free of sin. But it is Jesus and His blood that washes away our sin. If not for Jesus, the Father would never accept a single one of us. We are flesh and living in a cruel world. All we can do is fight the temptations of this world and never stop trusting Jesus. See you on the other side :)
Jesus forgives you already (if you're a Christian), however, everybody sins; being a Christian doesn't mean we're perfect. We still sin daily... but God's grace covers the Christian's sins when we sincerely ask Him to forgive us
"Religion is WAY too much work." - Jesus, ladies and gentlemen.
This was my favorite scene.
Growing up in a divorced home was my first heart break as a child, I held onto all the good memories which were very little I failed terribly in school because I could never let go of my problems at home and was overall depressed and would have a lot of anxiety at school because when I was a freshman a group of people I thought were my friends helped my gf cheat on me and then my close friend laced me with K2 this sent me into a very bad state of mind to where I didn’t trust anyone and wouldn’t open up about anything so this scene meant a lot to me and truly opened up my eyes I understand now that I can’t hold onto that stuff and I have to continue to love like I did before and stop judging people based off looks clothes and all this other stuff because we all have a story I just need to let go of my pain so I can help someone else with theirs
You're talking about your story, that's brave & a very big step. We all do have a story & sometimes you'll find that people have maybe give through some of the same things you have. Faith Over Fear, I tell myself that to help me get by at times
I’ve given my life to god recently went to church 3 times and drove myself to youth night where I was surrounded by a bunch of positive teens, god has been changing me since I’ve watched that movie I see my wrongs and everyday I’m trying to fix them and just be the best version of myself I can possibly be.
@@Joho22 Amen to that! I'm say that I'm a work in progress. If you haven't seen the series on DVD, Restoring The Shack, I recommend it. The author who wrote the book, takes you into each part of the movie. It's really AMAZING & help me further in my journey with God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit. God Bless you 🙏❤️
Each time I see this it ministers to me. A future without me doesn't exits.
This is the best scene in the whole movie. I love this scene. 👍
Love this scene! 🥺🥺
I’d seen this movie before but it happened to be on just the other day. My heart has been breaking lately so this scene hit hard.
Wonderful scene
AWESOME
😂🕊🕊
I just love to this scene.
Is like the line Arthur Says to Patch Adams “You’re focusing on the problem, if you focus on the problem you can’t see the solution. Never focus on the problem look at Me!”
It’s like Jesus taking to you!
I always have to remind myself over and over again that JESUS IS ON MY BOAT
oh and praise you too Farther.
So powerful 😭
“I don’t want slaves. I want family.” That is how people should see Jesus
this scene change my life into a whole new perspective (He is greater than our religion)
This is the best part in the movie
This is my favorite scene in the movie.
I lost both my brothers in the same year. I’ve been feeling tormented and depressed everyday. When I watch this scene I feel Jesus speaking to me as if I was in the boat
Jesús is bae in this film
Amen !
OMG so happy they have just this clip😱😱😱😱. My favorite scene in the movie. Watched this scene at least 10x. 2nd fave scene was when he decided to walk on water by himself and was told 'it's easier with Me'- so true. Another fave scene was with Lady Wisdom in the mountains, when he was told to choose one of his children and he said, 'i will take their place' that was heartbreaking...made me understand what Jesus did for us.
In the gospels when the disciples where in the boat an in a storm an they thought they saw a ghost an they were afraid an JESUS said "don't be afraid" an peter said is that you LORD!!!! An JESUS said "if you believe it is me step out the boat onto the water an keep your eves on me an peter stepped onto an started walking on the water an a noise distracted peter!!!! An peter started sinking an peter said LORD don't let me die an JESUS grabbed peter an put him back on the boat an the moral of this true story is even when you don't keep your eyes on JESUS HE still has HIS EYES on you to teach to keep your eyes on HIM!!!! When you take your eyes off JESUS an onto your circumstances the circumstances will deal with you but when you keep your eyes on JESUS you will be able to deal with the circumstances!!!! GOD is not a religion but a relationship thru JESUS CHRIST it is not a religion of rules we couldn't keep anyway that was the whole purpose of the LAW that GOD sent thru Moses to point out are sins an we couldn't keep HIS LAW an sent us a SAVIOR that kept it for us!!!! An far as being changed was an addicted to alcohol an drugs an a broke heart trying to mend with a relationship looking for love to fill an emptiness in my heart!!!! An by the GRACE of GOD delivered from drugs an alcohol an filled an mended heart an it took eighteen years after SALVATION an jail to experience that was always there after SA;VATION!!!! But it wasn't GOD fault i didn't let the ONE who saved me do it for me but now this 3/18 6 years sober an clean from alcohol an this 9/18 8 years from drugs, and the WORD of GOD it says " not in your might but in MY MIGHT" !!!! An also in the WORD it says " don't rely on yourself but the ONE WHO raised JESUS from the dead" an also " if anyone is in CHRIST JESUS is new creation an creature the old is past the is new is here or come"!!!! The old is drugs an alcohol an the new is free from whatever that is it is universal it goes with anything thru JESUS CHRIST GOD changed you not perfect but changed!!!! The perfection is GOD when you let GOD be GOD in that moment you will act perfect in the WORD of GOD it says " you don't know when but when I reveal MYSELF you will act just like ME"!!!! So GOD BLESS everyone comments an have a very BLESSED everyday an NEW YEAR to a new beginning that's never ending an have a very BLESSED Dads an Moms Day an by GODS GRACE we are!!!! So GOD will be HIS example thru us for HIS an our children children ETERNAL SALVATION because when that is on lock there future is secured!!!!
JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU
