Zarathushtra (Zoroaster) walked on water.
Buddhists walked on water.
Jesus walked on water.
Peter the Apostle walked on water.
This Bible-verse tells you exactly how it’s done:
Here’s the Bible verse, Matthew 14:22-33:
22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.
23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.
24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”
28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
These few verses are packed with wisdom that can be inferred and extrapolated to help you.
I infer from verse 22 and 23 that he was preparing a demonstration, a lesson, for which he sent the crowds away. Disbelieving observers don’t help the cause. In parapsychology this is called “the witness effect” under which some miracle workers feats don’t work amidst observers with a negative attitude. Jesus explained the same principle in many other verses (“Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown”).
Verse 26 shows how the suspension of the “laws of physics” terrified even his spiritually advanced disciples.
Verse 28 features a wise Peter who demands proof. He realizes it could be some kind of trick or projection.
In verse 30, Peters belief falters and he starts sinking. As so often, Jesus mocks him for his lack of faith.
Verse 32 implies that the storm was caused for demonstration purposes and ceased after the lesson ended.
The story is, in my view, both actual and symbolic. I believe they actually walked on water, but it’s also stands for all the other stuff you could achieve if you believe.
