The Prophecy:

Luke 5:4 KJV

Now when He had left speaking, He said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

The Fulfillment:

Luke 5:6 KJV

And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

The Story:

Luke 5:1-11 KJV

1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon Him to hear The Word Of God, He stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

3 And He entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that He would thrust out a little from the land. And He sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

4 Now when He had left speaking, He said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

5 And Simon answering said unto Him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy Word I will let down the net.

6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed Him.

(Dear Christian friend, we are about to embark on a journey of some 52 prophetic (predictions) teachings of our dear Savior, The Lord Jesus. Let us take a firm grasp together as we travel along with

The Master, and hear what He has to tell us.)

Having left Capernaum, Jesus went on to the shores of Galilee (Matthew 4:12-25).

There at the Sea of Galilee, multitudes of people pressed upon Him to hear the Word of God. .

Peter and Andrew, his brother as well as their partners James and John were there on the sea shore, washing their nets. Their empty boats were docked there. Jesus because He knew these men, thought it OK to ask Peter to cast off some short distance from the shore, in his boat, so as to be able to speak to the many people.

Jesus was “always,” eager to preach The Word, as so should His servants be.

Luke 5:4 KJV
Now when He had left speaking, He said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

Luke 5:5 KJV

And Simon answering said unto Him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing...”

Oh, how many times do the people of God, argue with The Living God.

“No, sorry Lord, that doesn't make any sense to me!” So they refuse, and miss His blessing.

Isaiah 40:13,14 KJV

13 Who hath directed The Spirit Of The Lord, or being His counsellor hath taught Him?

14 With whom took He counsel, and who instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of judgment, and taught Him knowledge, and shewed to Him the way of understanding?

Isaiah 46:9,10 KJV

9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me,

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure:

Isaiah 55:8,9 KJV

8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith The Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Romans 11:33,34 KJV

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!

34 For who hath known the mind of The Lord? or who hath been His counsellor?

Luke 5:5-11 KJV

5 And Simon answering said unto Him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy Word I will let down the net.

Dispondent today, because your net is empty? Without success because, you are fishing waters,

The Lord has not called you to. You cannot catch a multitude of fish, in shallow waters.

Obey the voice of The Lord...

I Samuel 15:22 KJV

And Samuel said, Hath The Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying The Voice Of The Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

Luke 5:4 KJV

“... He said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

Hebrews 11:6 KJV

But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

Luke 5:6-11 KJV

6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed Him.

I Corinthians 2:9-16 KJV

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for The Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but The Spirit Of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but The Spirit which is Of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which

The Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of The Spirit Of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of The Lord, that he may instruct Him? but we have the mind of Christ.

Friends, if we as Christian people would only “Trust,” The Lord, what great accomplishments we would see done!
