There are times where we are not instructed to pray. Instead, we are to demand or command since FATHER has already stated HIS Will. Jesus commanded things to occur because He knew FATHER’S Will.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 14:
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.
33 Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”
Jesus was told by FATHER to go to Gennesaret on the other side so that He could minister healing and deliverance to the people. Further, Jesus was not restricted by lower laws of nature thus He was able to walk on water. He operated by the higher laws of The Spiritual realm which supersede lower laws of nature, as a result we have the term supernatural.
Peter saw Jesus and at least to some degree understood the word command when he spoke out and said “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” Peter at least walked on the water temporarily. However, fear and doubt set in with Peter and Jesus noted that when He rescued Peter, another supernatural miracle. The issue was lack of faith and walking in fear and doubt. If we want to consistently walk in the supernatural, we must walk in great faith without fear. This is only accomplished by immersing ourselves in The Word and rejecting the world’s input and impact. Faith comes by hearing and responding to The Word consistently.
There are times to pray, especially in Tongues, and there are times to command. We need to know the difference. A mature Son knows the difference so let us move to that level of maturity so that the adversary no longer is able to deceive us due to a weakness found in immature believers. He and his minions will simply move on to someone who won’t remind them of their defeat by The Blood of Christ.
