- for a few momentsabout this story,
- 00:00:24.971 --> 00:00:26.439
- about this story,because it's interesting
- 00:00:26.439 --> 00:00:27.474
- because it's interestinghow that they go from
- 00:00:27.474 --> 00:00:29.709
- how that they go fromone miracle to a storm.
- 00:00:29.709 --> 00:00:31.311
- one miracle to a storm.They go directly from
- 00:00:31.311 --> 00:00:34.047
- They go directly fromJesus feeding the 5.000,
- 00:00:34.047 --> 00:00:36.249
- Jesus feeding the 5.000,right into the greatest test
- 00:00:36.249 --> 00:00:37.884
- right into the greatest testand storm that they
- 00:00:37.884 --> 00:00:38.985
- and storm that theywould ever face.
- 00:00:38.985 --> 00:00:41.454
- would ever face.5.000 men gathered, women,
- 00:00:41.454 --> 00:00:43.256
- 5.000 men gathered, women,and children besides,
- 00:00:43.256 --> 00:00:44.691
- and children besides,in a desert place,
- 00:00:44.691 --> 00:00:46.993
- in a desert place,in desperate need
- 00:00:46.993 --> 00:00:48.094
- in desperate needof the Word of God.
- 00:00:48.094 --> 00:00:48.728
- of the Word of God.As a matter of fact,
- 00:00:48.728 --> 00:00:49.929
- As a matter of fact,Deuteronomy said:
- 00:00:49.929 --> 00:00:50.763
- Deuteronomy said:"Man does not live
- 00:00:50.763 --> 00:00:51.831
- "Man does not liveby bread alone,
- 00:00:51.831 --> 00:00:53.133
- by bread alone,but by every word."
- 00:00:53.133 --> 00:00:54.834
- but by every word."So they didn't have food,
- 00:00:54.834 --> 00:00:56.669
- So they didn't have food,they had the Word of God.
- 00:00:56.669 --> 00:00:57.871
- they had the Word of God.Jesus was teaching.
- 00:00:57.871 --> 00:00:58.872
- Jesus was teaching.Listen to this,
- 00:00:58.872 --> 00:01:01.040
- Listen to this,and these people had rather have
- 00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:04.177
- and these people had rather havehad the Word than bread.
- 00:01:04.177 --> 00:01:05.745
- had the Word than bread.If they had to choose,
- 00:01:05.745 --> 00:01:07.313
- If they had to choose,they said, "I'll take the Word
- 00:01:07.313 --> 00:01:10.150
- they said, "I'll take the Wordover to bread to eat."
- 00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:11.951
- over to bread to eat."Shows a tremendous hunger
- 00:01:11.951 --> 00:01:13.286
- Shows a tremendous hungerfor the Word of God.
- 00:01:13.286 --> 00:01:14.120
- for the Word of God.If you've got a hunger
- 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:14.988
- If you've got a hungerfor the Word of God,
- 00:01:14.988 --> 00:01:15.989
- for the Word of God,God will always
- 00:01:15.989 --> 00:01:17.490
- God will alwayssupply your needs.
- 00:01:17.490 --> 00:01:20.693
- supply your needs.And the Bible said that when
- 00:01:20.693 --> 00:01:22.462
- And the Bible said that whenthe disciples told them
- 00:01:22.462 --> 00:01:23.596
- the disciples told themhow they weak they were,
- 00:01:23.596 --> 00:01:24.664
- how they weak they were,how hungry they were,
- 00:01:24.664 --> 00:01:25.899
- how hungry they were,the people hadn't eaten,
- 00:01:25.899 --> 00:01:27.300
- the people hadn't eaten,and they were concerned.
- 00:01:27.300 --> 00:01:28.334
- and they were concerned.Jesus said:
- 00:01:28.334 --> 00:01:29.969
- Jesus said:"They need not depart."
- 00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:31.404
- "They need not depart."They don't have to leave Me.
- 00:01:31.404 --> 00:01:32.939
- They don't have to leave Me.They came for the Word,
- 00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:34.040
- They came for the Word,but I can give them Word
- 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:35.642
- but I can give them Wordand bread.
- 00:01:35.642 --> 00:01:36.910
- and bread.And Jesus said to them,
- 00:01:36.910 --> 00:01:38.545
- And Jesus said to them,"What do you have?"
- 00:01:38.545 --> 00:01:39.913
- "What do you have?"Point number one,
- 00:01:39.913 --> 00:01:42.415
- Point number one,the miracle always begins
- 00:01:42.415 --> 00:01:44.584
- the miracle always beginswith what you have.
- 00:01:44.584 --> 00:01:45.552
- with what you have.When you recognize
- 00:01:45.552 --> 00:01:46.920
- When you recognizewhat you have,
- 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.089
- what you have,then God can multiply it.
- 00:01:50.089 --> 00:01:52.759
- then God can multiply it.It's not in what you don't have,
- 00:01:52.759 --> 00:01:54.627
- It's not in what you don't have,you have to recognize --
- 00:01:54.627 --> 00:01:55.562
- you have to recognize --notice the pattern
- 00:01:55.562 --> 00:01:57.230
- notice the patternthat Jesus is showing us.
- 00:01:57.230 --> 00:01:59.098
- that Jesus is showing us.He's saying, "The first key
- 00:01:59.098 --> 00:02:01.201
- He's saying, "The first keyto receiving My provision
- 00:02:01.201 --> 00:02:02.068
- to receiving My provisionfor your life,
- 00:02:02.068 --> 00:02:03.536
- for your life,no matter what kind of storm
- 00:02:03.536 --> 00:02:05.405
- no matter what kind of stormor season you're going through
- 00:02:05.405 --> 00:02:06.406
- or season you're going throughor facing,
- 00:02:06.406 --> 00:02:09.242
- or facing,is recognize what you have."
- 00:02:09.242 --> 00:02:10.677
- is recognize what you have."Because when you recognize
- 00:02:10.677 --> 00:02:11.878
- Because when you recognizewhat you have,
- 00:02:11.878 --> 00:02:14.414
- what you have,then God can multiply it.
- 00:02:14.414 --> 00:02:15.848
- then God can multiply it.And the Bible said that it's
- 00:02:15.848 --> 00:02:18.451
- And the Bible said that it'sironic that they did not count
- 00:02:18.451 --> 00:02:20.420
- ironic that they did not countthe women and the children.
- 00:02:20.420 --> 00:02:22.155
- the women and the children.I think it's very ironic,
- 00:02:22.155 --> 00:02:24.123
- I think it's very ironic,because the one that they didn't
- 00:02:24.123 --> 00:02:26.726
- because the one that they didn'tcount was the one that God used
- 00:02:26.726 --> 00:02:27.927
- count was the one that God usedto bring the miracle.
- 00:02:27.927 --> 00:02:30.496
- to bring the miracle.No -- they counted 5.000 men,
- 00:02:30.496 --> 00:02:31.864
- No -- they counted 5.000 men,and in their mind, they said,
- 00:02:31.864 --> 00:02:32.932
- and in their mind, they said,"The women and the children
- 00:02:32.932 --> 00:02:34.567
- "The women and the childrendon't count."
- 00:02:34.567 --> 00:02:35.768
- don't count."But notice something about
- 00:02:35.768 --> 00:02:36.569
- But notice something aboutyour God.
- 00:02:36.569 --> 00:02:38.137
- your God.God uses people
- 00:02:38.137 --> 00:02:40.573
- God uses peoplethat other people don't count.
- 00:02:40.573 --> 00:02:42.141
- that other people don't count.God uses people
- 00:02:42.141 --> 00:02:44.310
- God uses peoplethat other people discount.
- 00:02:44.310 --> 00:02:46.579
- that other people discount.God uses people that other
- 00:02:46.579 --> 00:02:48.381
- God uses people that otherpeople say are unimportant,
- 00:02:48.381 --> 00:02:49.515
- people say are unimportant,so unimportant,
- 00:02:49.515 --> 00:02:50.683
- so unimportant,they don't even count.
- 00:02:50.683 --> 00:02:52.218
- they don't even count.But that's the very one --
- 00:02:52.218 --> 00:02:53.786
- But that's the very one --the little lad that had five
- 00:02:53.786 --> 00:02:55.154
- the little lad that had fiveloaves and two fish,
- 00:02:55.154 --> 00:02:56.723
- loaves and two fish,he was the one
- 00:02:56.723 --> 00:02:57.824
- he was the onethat nobody counted,
- 00:02:57.824 --> 00:02:59.525
- that nobody counted,that everybody discounted.
- 00:02:59.525 --> 00:03:01.661
- that everybody discounted.He's just a kid with five slices
- 00:03:01.661 --> 00:03:03.563
- He's just a kid with five slicesof bread and two fish,
- 00:03:03.563 --> 00:03:05.231
- of bread and two fish,but the one that people
- 00:03:05.231 --> 00:03:07.133
- but the one that peopledidn't count was the one
- 00:03:07.133 --> 00:03:08.668
- didn't count was the onethat God counted.
- 00:03:08.668 --> 00:03:09.569
- that God counted.I want to tell you,
- 00:03:09.569 --> 00:03:12.071
- I want to tell you,that's the truth about our God.
- 00:03:12.071 --> 00:03:14.407
- that's the truth about our God.He counts people
- 00:03:14.407 --> 00:03:17.143
- He counts peoplethat other people discount.
- 00:03:17.143 --> 00:03:18.745
- that other people discount.People may look you --
- 00:03:18.745 --> 00:03:20.346
- People may look you --look at you as unimportant,
- 00:03:20.346 --> 00:03:21.414
- look at you as unimportant,may write you off
- 00:03:21.414 --> 00:03:23.983
- may write you offas unimportant, but God says,
- 00:03:23.983 --> 00:03:25.918
- as unimportant, but God says,"I count people
- 00:03:25.918 --> 00:03:28.321
- "I count peoplethat other people don't count."
- 00:03:28.321 --> 00:03:31.057
- that other people don't count."What do you have?
- 00:03:31.057 --> 00:03:32.458
- What do you have?"When you recognize
- 00:03:32.458 --> 00:03:34.027
- "When you recognizewhat you have,
- 00:03:34.027 --> 00:03:36.062
- what you have,I can multiply it.
- 00:03:36.062 --> 00:03:37.430
- I can multiply it.And always remember
- 00:03:37.430 --> 00:03:39.065
- And always rememberthat I count people
- 00:03:39.065 --> 00:03:40.199
- that I count peoplethat other people
- 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:41.401
- that other peopledon't see anything
- 00:03:41.401 --> 00:03:43.036
- don't see anythingworth counting in."
- 00:03:43.036 --> 00:03:45.972
- worth counting in."That's the kind of God we serve.
- 00:03:45.972 --> 00:03:47.206
- That's the kind of God we serve.Jesus then gives
- 00:03:47.206 --> 00:03:48.608
- Jesus then givesa strange command,
- 00:03:48.608 --> 00:03:50.677
- a strange command,when they bring the boy's food.
- 00:03:50.677 --> 00:03:52.011
- when they bring the boy's food.Jesus said to them,
- 00:03:52.011 --> 00:03:55.515
- Jesus said to them,"Separate into groups of 50."
- 00:03:55.515 --> 00:03:56.182
- "Separate into groups of 50."Now, this is going
- 00:03:56.182 --> 00:03:56.949
- Now, this is goingto take awhile.
- 00:03:56.949 --> 00:03:58.384
- to take awhile.You've got 5.000 men,
- 00:03:58.384 --> 00:03:59.686
- You've got 5.000 men,plus women, plus children,
- 00:03:59.686 --> 00:04:02.355
- plus women, plus children,a minimum of 15, 20.000 people.
- 00:04:02.355 --> 00:04:03.690
- a minimum of 15, 20.000 people.You got to count out 50 people,
- 00:04:03.690 --> 00:04:04.424
- You got to count out 50 people,separate 'em,
- 00:04:04.424 --> 00:04:06.492
- separate 'em,put 'em over here,
- 00:04:06.492 --> 00:04:07.393
- put 'em over here,in a small group,
- 00:04:07.393 --> 00:04:08.194
- in a small group,and then do another
- 00:04:08.194 --> 00:04:08.995
- and then do anotherin a small group,
- 00:04:08.995 --> 00:04:09.896
- in a small group,and then another,
- 00:04:09.896 --> 00:04:10.763
- and then another,and then another,
- 00:04:10.763 --> 00:04:11.631
- and then another,and then another.
- 00:04:11.631 --> 00:04:12.432
- and then another.Do you know how long
- 00:04:12.432 --> 00:04:12.999
- Do you know how longthat would take?
- 00:04:12.999 --> 00:04:14.100
- that would take?The people are already fainting.
- 00:04:14.100 --> 00:04:15.835
- The people are already fainting.The people are already hungry.
- 00:04:15.835 --> 00:04:16.669
- The people are already hungry.The people haven't eaten
- 00:04:16.669 --> 00:04:18.204
- The people haven't eatenall day, in the sun,
- 00:04:18.204 --> 00:04:19.806
- all day, in the sun,and the sun is setting,
- 00:04:19.806 --> 00:04:21.474
- and the sun is setting,and why in the world
- 00:04:21.474 --> 00:04:22.542
- and why in the worldwould you take the time
- 00:04:22.542 --> 00:04:23.710
- would you take the timeto separate them
- 00:04:23.710 --> 00:04:25.044
- to separate theminto groups of 50?
- 00:04:25.044 --> 00:04:26.579
- into groups of 50?Because sometimes,
- 00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:30.650
- Because sometimes,the best miracles take time.
- 00:04:30.650 --> 00:04:33.019
- the best miracles take time.Sometimes, we need to understand
- 00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:34.587
- Sometimes, we need to understandthat God's best miracles
- 00:04:34.587 --> 00:04:36.589
- that God's best miraclesare not driven by need
- 00:04:36.589 --> 00:04:39.192
- are not driven by needor necessity or hunger.
- 00:04:39.192 --> 00:04:41.494
- or necessity or hunger.That when God is doing something
- 00:04:41.494 --> 00:04:43.496
- That when God is doing somethingbig in your life,
- 00:04:43.496 --> 00:04:45.231
- big in your life,you can't rush
- 00:04:45.231 --> 00:04:46.499
- you can't rushwhat God is doing.
- 00:04:46.499 --> 00:04:47.467
- what God is doing.That's why the Bible said:
- 00:04:47.467 --> 00:04:49.335
- That's why the Bible said:"You have need of patience,
- 00:04:49.335 --> 00:04:50.403
- "You have need of patience,that after you have done
- 00:04:50.403 --> 00:04:51.437
- that after you have donethe will of God,
- 00:04:51.437 --> 00:04:53.539
- the will of God,you might obtain the promise."
- 00:04:53.539 --> 00:04:54.607
- you might obtain the promise."The Bible said in James,
- 00:04:54.607 --> 00:04:58.344
- The Bible said in James,you've heard of Job's patience,
- 00:04:58.344 --> 00:04:59.178
- you've heard of Job's patience,and one of the fruits
- 00:04:59.178 --> 00:05:01.147
- and one of the fruitsof the Spirit is patience,
- 00:05:01.147 --> 00:05:02.048
- of the Spirit is patience,and what I've learned,
- 00:05:02.048 --> 00:05:03.116
- and what I've learned,and what you're going to learn
- 00:05:03.116 --> 00:05:04.917
- and what you're going to learnis God's best miracles
- 00:05:04.917 --> 00:05:07.019
- is God's best miraclestake time.
- 00:05:07.019 --> 00:05:08.221
- take time.Sometimes, you have got
- 00:05:08.221 --> 00:05:10.356
- Sometimes, you have gotto have order and structure.
- 00:05:10.356 --> 00:05:11.624
- to have order and structure.He said, "Divide them up
- 00:05:11.624 --> 00:05:12.658
- He said, "Divide them upinto 50.

- into 50.Give Me some order
- 00:05:13.893 --> 00:05:15.228
- Give Me some orderout of this mass crowd.
- 00:05:15.228 --> 00:05:16.662
- out of this mass crowd.Give Me some structure,"
- 00:05:16.662 --> 00:05:17.997
- Give Me some structure,"because it takes order
- 00:05:17.997 --> 00:05:19.632
- because it takes orderand structure to receive
- 00:05:19.632 --> 00:05:21.768
- and structure to receivethe magnitude of the blessing
- 00:05:21.768 --> 00:05:23.336
- the magnitude of the blessingthat God wants to give you.
- 00:05:23.336 --> 00:05:24.670
- that God wants to give you.Many times, we're saying,
- 00:05:24.670 --> 00:05:26.139
- Many times, we're saying,"God, bless me with more,"
- 00:05:26.139 --> 00:05:28.040
- "God, bless me with more,"and we're mishandling
- 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.443
- and we're mishandlingwhat we have.
- 00:05:30.443 --> 00:05:32.645
- what we have.God doesn't give you more
- 00:05:32.645 --> 00:05:34.347
- God doesn't give you moreaccording to what you ask for,
- 00:05:34.347 --> 00:05:35.648
- according to what you ask for,He gives you more according
- 00:05:35.648 --> 00:05:37.750
- He gives you more accordingto what you can manage.
- 00:05:37.750 --> 00:05:38.651
- to what you can manage.And if you can't manage
- 00:05:38.651 --> 00:05:40.386
- And if you can't managewhat you've got right now,
- 00:05:40.386 --> 00:05:41.421
- what you've got right now,why would God give you
- 00:05:41.421 --> 00:05:43.556
- why would God give youmore to squander?
- 00:05:43.556 --> 00:05:44.824
- more to squander?And He said, "I want you
- 00:05:44.824 --> 00:05:46.092
- And He said, "I want youto have a structure
- 00:05:46.092 --> 00:05:48.528
- to have a structurethat can maintain the magnitude
- 00:05:48.528 --> 00:05:50.430
- that can maintain the magnitudeof the blessing that I want
- 00:05:50.430 --> 00:05:52.799
- of the blessing that I wantto pour into your life."
- 00:05:52.799 --> 00:05:54.100
- to pour into your life."And the Bible said that they
- 00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:55.668
- And the Bible said that theybrought Jesus the bread,
- 00:05:55.668 --> 00:05:58.704
- brought Jesus the bread,they gave Him what they had,
- 00:05:58.704 --> 00:06:00.039
- they gave Him what they had,and Jesus took it,
- 00:06:00.039 --> 00:06:02.108
- and Jesus took it,the Bible said,
- 00:06:02.108 --> 00:06:04.877
- the Bible said,and He blessed it.
- 00:06:04.877 --> 00:06:06.379
- and He blessed it.He's blessing
- 00:06:06.379 --> 00:06:08.548
- He's blessingwhat is not enough.
- 00:06:08.548 --> 00:06:10.616
- what is not enough.He's blessing five loaves
- 00:06:10.616 --> 00:06:13.386
- He's blessing five loavesof bread, and two fish.
- 00:06:13.386 --> 00:06:14.887
- of bread, and two fish.It's obviously not enough
- 00:06:14.887 --> 00:06:17.089
- It's obviously not enoughto feed 5.000 men,
- 00:06:17.089 --> 00:06:18.090
- to feed 5.000 men,plus the women,
- 00:06:18.090 --> 00:06:18.825
- plus the women,plus the children.
- 00:06:18.825 --> 00:06:20.393
- plus the children.It's not enough,
- 00:06:20.393 --> 00:06:21.727
- It's not enough,but He's giving thanks
- 00:06:21.727 --> 00:06:24.430
- but He's giving thanksfor what is not enough.
- 00:06:24.430 --> 00:06:25.832
- for what is not enough.When you learn to be grateful,
- 00:06:25.832 --> 00:06:27.934
- When you learn to be grateful,even when what you have
- 00:06:27.934 --> 00:06:29.368
- even when what you haveis not enough,
- 00:06:29.368 --> 00:06:32.205
- is not enough,then God can begin to multiply
- 00:06:32.205 --> 00:06:33.272
- then God can begin to multiplynot enough
- 00:06:33.272 --> 00:06:35.241
- not enoughinto more than enough.
- 00:06:35.241 --> 00:06:36.843
- into more than enough.Until you can be thankful
- 00:06:36.843 --> 00:06:38.578
- Until you can be thankfulfor something
- 00:06:38.578 --> 00:06:40.179
- for somethingthat is not enough,
- 00:06:40.179 --> 00:06:42.048
- that is not enough,you cannot be multiplied
- 00:06:42.048 --> 00:06:44.083
- you cannot be multipliedinto more than enough.
- 00:06:44.083 --> 00:06:45.351
- into more than enough.You'll never see
- 00:06:45.351 --> 00:06:46.652
- You'll never seethe multiplication
- 00:06:46.652 --> 00:06:48.254
- the multiplicationas long as you're ungrateful,
- 00:06:48.254 --> 00:06:50.022
- as long as you're ungrateful,but when you become thankful
- 00:06:50.022 --> 00:06:52.391
- but when you become thankfulfor what He has given you,
- 00:06:52.391 --> 00:06:54.327
- for what He has given you,as little as it is,
- 00:06:54.327 --> 00:06:56.128
- as little as it is,little is much
- 00:06:56.128 --> 00:06:57.330
- little is muchwhen God is in it.
- 00:06:57.330 --> 00:06:58.331
- when God is in it.I wish somebody would just,
- 00:06:58.331 --> 00:06:59.599
- I wish somebody would just,right now, say,
- 00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:00.600
- right now, say,"Lord, I'm thankful.
- 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:01.367
- "Lord, I'm thankful.I don't have everything
- 00:07:01.367 --> 00:07:02.602
- I don't have everythingthat I wish I had,
- 00:07:02.602 --> 00:07:03.903
- that I wish I had,but I'm thankful for
- 00:07:03.903 --> 00:07:06.639
- but I'm thankful forwhat I've got."
- 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:09.475
- what I've got."That's when the miracle starts.
- 00:07:09.475 --> 00:07:10.543
- That's when the miracle starts.And the Bible said
- 00:07:10.543 --> 00:07:13.179
- And the Bible saidthat when He took it,
- 00:07:13.179 --> 00:07:15.114
- that when He took it,and He blessed it,
- 00:07:15.114 --> 00:07:18.818
- and He blessed it,gave thanks for it, blessed it,
- 00:07:18.818 --> 00:07:19.619
- gave thanks for it, blessed it,that He had
- 00:07:19.619 --> 00:07:21.354
- that He hadthe correct inventory.
- 00:07:21.354 --> 00:07:25.091
- the correct inventory.Two fish, five loaves.
- 00:07:25.091 --> 00:07:27.260
- Two fish, five loaves.Nothing had multiplied.
- 00:07:27.260 --> 00:07:29.829
- Nothing had multiplied.Nothing had increased.
- 00:07:29.829 --> 00:07:30.463
- Nothing had increased.It wasn't until
- 00:07:30.463 --> 00:07:32.198
- It wasn't untilhe did something,
- 00:07:32.198 --> 00:07:33.232
- he did something,the Bible said He then
- 00:07:33.232 --> 00:07:34.033
- the Bible said He thentook the bread,
- 00:07:34.033 --> 00:07:35.234
- took the bread,after He blessed it.
- 00:07:35.234 --> 00:07:37.436
- after He blessed it.He broke it.
- 00:07:37.436 --> 00:07:40.139
- He broke it.And when He broke it,
- 00:07:40.139 --> 00:07:41.173
- And when He broke it,and started handing it
- 00:07:41.173 --> 00:07:45.044
- and started handing itto the disciples to distribute,
- 00:07:45.044 --> 00:07:47.413
- to the disciples to distribute,as He broke it,
- 00:07:47.413 --> 00:07:49.882
- as He broke it,He began to lose count.
- 00:07:49.882 --> 00:07:52.952
- He began to lose count.The blessing is in the breaking.
- 00:07:52.952 --> 00:07:55.621
- The blessing is in the breaking.It wasn't until it was broken,
- 00:07:55.621 --> 00:07:57.890
- It wasn't until it was broken,that it began to multiply.
- 00:07:57.890 --> 00:08:00.126
- that it began to multiply.That which refuses to be broken,
- 00:08:00.126 --> 00:08:03.362
- That which refuses to be broken,refuses to be blessed.
- 00:08:03.362 --> 00:08:05.298
- refuses to be blessed.It is in the breakings of life
- 00:08:05.298 --> 00:08:07.400
- It is in the breakings of lifethat produces the blessings
- 00:08:07.400 --> 00:08:09.035
- that produces the blessingsof life.
- 00:08:09.035 --> 00:08:10.736
- of life.Some of the most blessed people
- 00:08:10.736 --> 00:08:12.338
- Some of the most blessed peoplethat you will ever meet,
- 00:08:12.338 --> 00:08:13.773
- that you will ever meet,have gone through
- 00:08:13.773 --> 00:08:15.174
- have gone throughsomething that broke them
- 00:08:15.174 --> 00:08:17.743
- something that broke thembefore they got to the blessing.
- 00:08:17.743 --> 00:08:20.746
- before they got to the blessing.Because it's the blessing
- 00:08:20.746 --> 00:08:23.382
- Because it's the blessingis hidden in the broken.
- 00:08:23.382 --> 00:08:25.985
- is hidden in the broken.The more that He broke it,
- 00:08:25.985 --> 00:08:28.955
- The more that He broke it,the more it multiplied.
- 00:08:28.955 --> 00:08:30.423
- the more it multiplied.The more He broke it,
- 00:08:30.423 --> 00:08:31.824
- The more He broke it,that's when it would multiply.
- 00:08:31.824 --> 00:08:32.892
- that's when it would multiply.He would break it,
- 00:08:32.892 --> 00:08:34.994
- He would break it,and break it, and break it,
- 00:08:34.994 --> 00:08:36.762
- and break it, and break it,and it would multiply.
- 00:08:36.762 --> 00:08:38.331
- and it would multiply.Every time He broke it,
- 00:08:38.331 --> 00:08:41.500
- Every time He broke it,it multiplied in His hands.
- 00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:44.337
- it multiplied in His hands.Now, that's a spiritual law,
- 00:08:44.337 --> 00:08:45.538
- Now, that's a spiritual law,that if God allows you
- 00:08:45.538 --> 00:08:47.206
- that if God allows youto go through breaking,
- 00:08:47.206 --> 00:08:50.009
- to go through breaking,it is not to destroy you.
- 00:08:50.009 --> 00:08:52.044
- it is not to destroy you.It is to bless you,
- 00:08:52.044 --> 00:08:54.380
- It is to bless you,because the breaking is what
- 00:08:54.380 --> 00:08:56.315
- because the breaking is whatbrings the blessing.
- 00:08:56.315 --> 00:08:57.049
- brings the blessing.Now, I want to ask you
- 00:08:57.049 --> 00:08:58.484
- Now, I want to ask youa question: have you thanked
- 00:08:58.484 --> 00:08:59.652
- a question: have you thankedthe Lord for every time
- 00:08:59.652 --> 00:09:00.953
- the Lord for every timeHe broke you?
- 00:09:00.953 --> 00:09:02.755
- He broke you?Every time He snapped you?
- 00:09:02.755 --> 00:09:04.223
- Every time He snapped you?Every time He put you through
- 00:09:04.223 --> 00:09:05.925
- Every time He put you througha season of brokenness?
- 00:09:05.925 --> 00:09:07.393
- a season of brokenness?He wasn't killing you.
- 00:09:07.393 --> 00:09:09.128
- He wasn't killing you.He was blessing you,
- 00:09:09.128 --> 00:09:12.832
- He was blessing you,every time He was breaking you.
- 00:09:12.832 --> 00:09:15.034
- every time He was breaking you.Every time you were rejected.
- 00:09:15.034 --> 00:09:17.336
- Every time you were rejected.Every time you were alienated.
- 00:09:17.336 --> 00:09:18.070
- Every time you were alienated.Every time
- 00:09:18.070 --> 00:09:19.338
- Every timeyou were disappointed.
- 00:09:19.338 --> 00:09:21.173
- you were disappointed.Every time you were cursed.
- 00:09:21.173 --> 00:09:23.242
- Every time you were cursed.Every time you were told no.
- 00:09:23.242 --> 00:09:24.510
- Every time you were told no.Every time your heart
- 00:09:24.510 --> 00:09:25.478
- Every time your heartwas broken.
- 00:09:25.478 --> 00:09:27.813
- was broken.Broken homes, broken hearts,
- 00:09:27.813 --> 00:09:28.914
- Broken homes, broken hearts,broken families,
- 00:09:28.914 --> 00:09:30.316
- broken families,broken hopes.
- 00:09:30.316 --> 00:09:31.784
- broken hopes.The greatest blessings
- 00:09:31.784 --> 00:09:32.752
- The greatest blessingscome out of
- 00:09:32.752 --> 00:09:34.286
- come out ofthe hardest breakings,
- 00:09:34.286 --> 00:09:35.388
- the hardest breakings,and that's why we don't
- 00:09:35.388 --> 00:09:36.555
- and that's why we don'tget discouraged.
- 00:09:36.555 --> 00:09:37.490
- get discouraged.We understand,
- 00:09:37.490 --> 00:09:39.025
- We understand,if God's allowing me
- 00:09:39.025 --> 00:09:40.059
- if God's allowing meto go through a plan
- 00:09:40.059 --> 00:09:40.993
- to go through a planthat I never dreamed
- 00:09:40.993 --> 00:09:42.395
- that I never dreamedwould happen, I thought it
- 00:09:42.395 --> 00:09:43.462
- would happen, I thought itwould be a straight shot
- 00:09:43.462 --> 00:09:45.164
- would be a straight shotto success and the goodness
- 00:09:45.164 --> 00:09:46.465
- to success and the goodnessof God, but instead,
- 00:09:46.465 --> 00:09:47.667
- of God, but instead,I'm walking through a season
- 00:09:47.667 --> 00:09:49.468
- I'm walking through a seasonof brokenness, like I never
- 00:09:49.468 --> 00:09:50.636
- of brokenness, like I neverdreamed I would be.
- 00:09:50.636 --> 00:09:53.072
- dreamed I would be.Good, that's a sign God is
- 00:09:53.072 --> 00:09:54.674
- Good, that's a sign God ison your case, and if He's
- 00:09:54.674 --> 00:09:56.442
- on your case, and if He'sblessing you, it's because
- 00:09:56.442 --> 00:09:58.511
- blessing you, it's becauseHe's -- do you hear me?
- 00:09:58.511 --> 00:10:00.012
- He's -- do you hear me?If He's breaking you,
- 00:10:00.012 --> 00:10:01.280
- If He's breaking you,it's because He's going
- 00:10:01.280 --> 00:10:04.183
- it's because He's goingto bless you.
- 00:10:04.183 --> 00:10:04.850
- to bless you.Don't give me a little
- 00:10:04.850 --> 00:10:05.718
- Don't give me a littlegolf clap.
- 00:10:05.718 --> 00:10:06.952
- golf clap.Clap your hands
- 00:10:06.952 --> 00:10:07.820
- Clap your handslike you believe.
- 00:10:07.820 --> 00:10:09.789
- like you believe.He knows how to bless us
- 00:10:09.789 --> 00:10:11.290
- He knows how to bless usout of the breaking.
- 00:10:11.290 --> 00:10:13.125
- out of the breaking.Didn't come until it got broken.
- 00:10:13.125 --> 00:10:14.393
- Didn't come until it got broken.Didn't multiply,
- 00:10:14.393 --> 00:10:15.561
- Didn't multiply,didn't increase
- 00:10:15.561 --> 00:10:18.764
- didn't increaseuntil it got broken.
- 00:10:18.764 --> 00:10:20.199
- until it got broken.The very thing you're cursing
- 00:10:20.199 --> 00:10:21.434
- The very thing you're cursingis the very thing God's going
- 00:10:21.434 --> 00:10:24.236
- is the very thing God's goingto use to multiply
- 00:10:24.236 --> 00:10:26.072
- to use to multiplyand bless your life.
- 00:10:26.072 --> 00:10:28.240
- and bless your life.He fed the multitude
- 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.243
- He fed the multitudethrough the breaking process.
- 00:10:31.243 --> 00:10:32.445
- through the breaking process.I've never heard
- 00:10:32.445 --> 00:10:33.512
- I've never hearda preacher preach
- 00:10:33.512 --> 00:10:34.613
- a preacher preachthat had a message
- 00:10:34.613 --> 00:10:35.981
- that had a messagethat touched my heart
- 00:10:35.981 --> 00:10:37.116
- that touched my heartthat hadn't been through
- 00:10:37.116 --> 00:10:39.852
- that hadn't been throughthe breaking process.
- 00:10:39.852 --> 00:10:42.088
- the breaking process.You cannot feed other people
- 00:10:42.088 --> 00:10:43.522
- You cannot feed other peoplethe Bread of Life without going
- 00:10:43.522 --> 00:10:46.092
- the Bread of Life without goingthrough brokenness,
- 00:10:46.092 --> 00:10:49.061
- through brokenness,again, and again, and again.
- 00:10:49.061 --> 00:10:50.262
- again, and again, and again.And just when you think
- 00:10:50.262 --> 00:10:51.197
- And just when you thinkeverything's good,
- 00:10:51.197 --> 00:10:52.732
- everything's good,God says, "I really need
- 00:10:52.732 --> 00:10:54.133
- God says, "I really needto use you again.
- 00:10:54.133 --> 00:10:55.067
- to use you again.And in order for me
- 00:10:55.067 --> 00:10:56.602
- And in order for meto use you again, to make that
- 00:10:56.602 --> 00:10:58.070
- to use you again, to make thatWord that I'm gonna give you,
- 00:10:58.070 --> 00:10:59.772
- Word that I'm gonna give you,have effect, I gotta get you
- 00:10:59.772 --> 00:11:03.008
- have effect, I gotta get youin another time of brokenness."
- 00:11:03.008 --> 00:11:06.345
- in another time of brokenness."So, when you say, "God, use me!"
- 00:11:06.345 --> 00:11:06.979
- So, when you say, "God, use me!"You think that means
- 00:11:06.979 --> 00:11:07.546
- You think that meanshe's gonna give you
- 00:11:07.546 --> 00:11:09.381
- he's gonna give youa suit and a microphone,
- 00:11:09.381 --> 00:11:10.382
- a suit and a microphone,and let you --
- 00:11:10.382 --> 00:11:13.886
- and let you --He's gonna break you.
- 00:11:13.886 --> 00:11:16.155
- He's gonna break you.You have no idea
- 00:11:16.155 --> 00:11:18.691
- You have no ideawhat ministry costs.
- 00:11:18.691 --> 00:11:20.259
- what ministry costs.It's a continual --
- 00:11:20.259 --> 00:11:21.927
- It's a continual --"What, you really have --",
- 00:11:21.927 --> 00:11:24.697
- "What, you really have --",It's a continual breaking.
- 00:11:24.697 --> 00:11:29.001
- It's a continual breaking.It never stops.
- 00:11:29.001 --> 00:11:30.236
- It never stops.Jesus does not feed
- 00:11:30.236 --> 00:11:32.471
- Jesus does not feedthe multitude directly.
- 00:11:32.471 --> 00:11:33.839
- the multitude directly.He breaks it,
- 00:11:33.839 --> 00:11:35.808
- He breaks it,and gives it to His disciples,
- 00:11:35.808 --> 00:11:37.176
- and gives it to His disciples,His friends, and He says,
- 00:11:37.176 --> 00:11:38.911
- His friends, and He says,"You go feed 'em."
- 00:11:38.911 --> 00:11:41.847
- "You go feed 'em."Notice that the blessing
- 00:11:41.847 --> 00:11:43.315
- Notice that the blessingpasses through your hands,
- 00:11:43.315 --> 00:11:45.851
- passes through your hands,not from your hands.
- 00:11:45.851 --> 00:11:47.453
- not from your hands.Many of you have been blessed.
- 00:11:47.453 --> 00:11:48.254
- Many of you have been blessed.There's some blessed people
- 00:11:48.254 --> 00:11:49.922
- There's some blessed peopleunder the sound of my voice,
- 00:11:49.922 --> 00:11:51.323
- under the sound of my voice,but I've come to remind you
- 00:11:51.323 --> 00:11:52.424
- but I've come to remind youthat the blessings
- 00:11:52.424 --> 00:11:53.392
- that the blessingsthat you're experiencing
- 00:11:53.392 --> 00:11:55.127
- that you're experiencingdo not come from your hands,
- 00:11:55.127 --> 00:11:56.629
- do not come from your hands,they come from Jesus' hands,
- 00:11:56.629 --> 00:11:59.265
- they come from Jesus' hands,they come through your hands.
- 00:11:59.265 --> 00:12:01.333
- they come through your hands.And don't ever get it mixed up.
- 00:12:01.333 --> 00:12:02.768
- And don't ever get it mixed up.Be careful to give God
- 00:12:02.768 --> 00:12:04.203
- Be careful to give Godthe praise and the glory,
- 00:12:04.203 --> 00:12:05.571
- the praise and the glory,because any blessings
- 00:12:05.571 --> 00:12:07.907
- because any blessingsthat you are participating in
- 00:12:07.907 --> 00:12:09.775
- that you are participating inis not your doing,
- 00:12:09.775 --> 00:12:12.178
- is not your doing,it came from the hand of Jesus,
- 00:12:12.178 --> 00:12:13.112
- it came from the hand of Jesus,and is flowing
- 00:12:13.112 --> 00:12:15.848
- and is flowingthrough your hand.
- 00:12:15.848 --> 00:12:16.415
- through your hand.You need to learn
- 00:12:16.415 --> 00:12:18.017
- You need to learnto eat God's blessing,
- 00:12:18.017 --> 00:12:19.218
- to eat God's blessing,even if He brings it
- 00:12:19.218 --> 00:12:21.053
- even if He brings itthrough somebody else's hand.
- 00:12:21.053 --> 00:12:22.087
- through somebody else's hand.He'll even feed you
- 00:12:22.087 --> 00:12:23.455
- He'll even feed youand bless you sometimes through
- 00:12:23.455 --> 00:12:24.990
- and bless you sometimes throughpeople who don't even like you,
- 00:12:24.990 --> 00:12:26.759
- people who don't even like you,through the enemy's hands.
- 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.160
- through the enemy's hands.Prepare a table before you
- 00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:29.128
- Prepare a table before youin the presence of your --
- 00:12:29.128 --> 00:12:30.329
- in the presence of your --they'll say things like this,
- 00:12:30.329 --> 00:12:31.330
- they'll say things like this,"I don't know why
- 00:12:31.330 --> 00:12:34.700
- "I don't know whyI'm doing this."
- 00:12:34.700 --> 00:12:37.903
- I'm doing this."Hallelujah.
- 00:12:37.903 --> 00:12:39.071
- Hallelujah.Now, here's a big point about
- 00:12:39.071 --> 00:12:41.874
- Now, here's a big point aboutthis little lesson.
- 00:12:41.874 --> 00:12:47.279
- this little lesson.He -- God is a good Chef,
- 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.316
- He -- God is a good Chef,and He's very good at math.
- 00:12:50.316 --> 00:12:51.183
- and He's very good at math.He has a book in the Bible
- 00:12:51.183 --> 00:12:54.320
- He has a book in the Biblecalled Numbers.
- 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.922
- called Numbers.And, when He cooked
- 00:12:56.922 --> 00:12:58.224
- And, when He cookedfor the children of Israel,
- 00:12:58.224 --> 00:13:00.659
- for the children of Israel,and He did, He spread a table
- 00:13:00.659 --> 00:13:01.427
- and He did, He spread a tablein the wilderness,
- 00:13:01.427 --> 00:13:02.995
- in the wilderness,the Bible said, for 40 years,
- 00:13:02.995 --> 00:13:04.430
- the Bible said, for 40 years,they had nothing to eat
- 00:13:04.430 --> 00:13:07.032
- they had nothing to eatexcept what God personally
- 00:13:07.032 --> 00:13:08.534
- except what God personallyprovided for them
- 00:13:08.534 --> 00:13:10.269
- provided for themfrom the bakeries of Heaven.
- 00:13:10.269 --> 00:13:12.905
- from the bakeries of Heaven.Every morning, when they got up,
- 00:13:12.905 --> 00:13:14.473
- Every morning, when they got up,there was something called manna
- 00:13:14.473 --> 00:13:16.675
- there was something called mannathat God had cooked up.
- 00:13:16.675 --> 00:13:18.477
- that God had cooked up.And it was so percise
- 00:13:18.477 --> 00:13:20.079
- And it was so perciseGod is such a good chef --
- 00:13:20.079 --> 00:13:21.113
- God is such a good chef --you know, a good chef
- 00:13:21.113 --> 00:13:21.814
- you know, a good chefyou can just tell 'em
- 00:13:21.814 --> 00:13:22.915
- you can just tell 'emhow many people are comin'
- 00:13:22.915 --> 00:13:23.749
- how many people are comin'and they know how much stuff
- 00:13:23.749 --> 00:13:26.252
- and they know how much stuffthey're gonna need.
- 00:13:26.252 --> 00:13:28.087
- they're gonna need.And God is not a wasteful god.
- 00:13:28.087 --> 00:13:29.788
- And God is not a wasteful god.So, when he would provide food
- 00:13:29.788 --> 00:13:30.923
- So, when he would provide foodfor the children of Israel
- 00:13:30.923 --> 00:13:31.724
- for the children of Israelin the wilderness,
- 00:13:31.724 --> 00:13:32.424
- in the wilderness,he would give them
- 00:13:32.424 --> 00:13:35.728
- he would give themjust enough to eat that day.
- 00:13:35.728 --> 00:13:37.429
- just enough to eat that day.No leftovers.
- 00:13:37.429 --> 00:13:38.464
- No leftovers.None.
- 00:13:38.464 --> 00:13:39.765
- None.Matter of fact, if they didn't
- 00:13:39.765 --> 00:13:41.600
- Matter of fact, if they didn'teat all their meal for that day,
- 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:42.568
- eat all their meal for that day,they couldn't store it up
- 00:13:42.568 --> 00:13:43.502
- they couldn't store it upfor the next day.
- 00:13:43.502 --> 00:13:44.536
- for the next day.If they did, the Bible said,
- 00:13:44.536 --> 00:13:45.537
- If they did, the Bible said,it had worms in it,
- 00:13:45.537 --> 00:13:46.906
- it had worms in it,because God was teachin' 'em
- 00:13:46.906 --> 00:13:47.740
- because God was teachin' 'emyou're gonna have to depend
- 00:13:47.740 --> 00:13:50.276
- you're gonna have to dependon Him every day of your life.
- 00:13:50.276 --> 00:13:52.211
- on Him every day of your life.So, here's my point:
- 00:13:52.211 --> 00:13:53.412
- So, here's my point:When God cooks,
- 00:13:53.412 --> 00:13:54.313
- When God cooks,He knows how many people
- 00:13:54.313 --> 00:13:55.781
- He knows how many peoplehe's cooking for.
- 00:13:55.781 --> 00:13:57.583
- he's cooking for.And He knew, if He wanted to,
- 00:13:57.583 --> 00:13:59.084
- And He knew, if He wanted to,He could've just supplied
- 00:13:59.084 --> 00:14:01.253
- He could've just suppliedexactly enough meal
- 00:14:01.253 --> 00:14:03.088
- exactly enough mealfor the 5.000 men,
- 00:14:03.088 --> 00:14:04.356
- for the 5.000 men,and He knew how many women,
- 00:14:04.356 --> 00:14:05.724
- and He knew how many women,He knew how many children,
- 00:14:05.724 --> 00:14:06.859
- He knew how many children,and it would've been enough
- 00:14:06.859 --> 00:14:10.362
- and it would've been enoughto feed everybody, and stopped.
- 00:14:10.362 --> 00:14:13.399
- to feed everybody, and stopped.He knew the exact number,
- 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:15.367
- He knew the exact number,but He purposely designed it
- 00:14:15.367 --> 00:14:16.302
- but He purposely designed itso that there would be
- 00:14:16.302 --> 00:14:18.537
- so that there would beleftovers.
- 00:14:18.537 --> 00:14:20.839
- leftovers.Jesus could have been precise,
- 00:14:20.839 --> 00:14:22.775
- Jesus could have been precise,He could've stopped
- 00:14:22.775 --> 00:14:24.710
- He could've stoppedon the last person.
- 00:14:24.710 --> 00:14:26.011
- on the last person.In His mind, He knew when
- 00:14:26.011 --> 00:14:26.779
- In His mind, He knew whenHe got to the last person
- 00:14:26.779 --> 00:14:28.514
- He got to the last personwho needed to be served a meal,
- 00:14:28.514 --> 00:14:29.448
- who needed to be served a meal,and He could've stopped,
- 00:14:29.448 --> 00:14:31.116
- and He could've stopped,but He kept on breaking off
- 00:14:31.116 --> 00:14:33.652
- but He kept on breaking offmore than was needed.
- 00:14:33.652 --> 00:14:38.257
- more than was needed.He chose to give them overflow.
- 00:14:38.257 --> 00:14:39.625
- He chose to give them overflow.Don't you ever let people
- 00:14:39.625 --> 00:14:41.727
- Don't you ever let peopletell you that God
- 00:14:41.727 --> 00:14:45.130
- tell you that Godjust wants to give you enough.
- 00:14:45.130 --> 00:14:46.432
- just wants to give you enough.God doesn't just want
- 00:14:46.432 --> 00:14:48.467
- God doesn't just wantto give you enough.
- 00:14:48.467 --> 00:14:49.868
- to give you enough.That sounds real religious,
- 00:14:49.868 --> 00:14:51.103
- That sounds real religious,when people say that.
- 00:14:51.103 --> 00:14:53.739
- when people say that.But the truth is, God does not
- 00:14:53.739 --> 00:14:55.908
- But the truth is, God does not-- His name is El Shaddai,
- 00:14:55.908 --> 00:14:57.443
- -- His name is El Shaddai,not El Cheapo.
- 00:14:57.443 --> 00:14:59.545
- not El Cheapo.El Shaddai means in Hebrew
- 00:14:59.545 --> 00:15:02.481
- El Shaddai means in Hebrewmore than enough.
- 00:15:02.481 --> 00:15:04.383
- more than enough.A God whose name
- 00:15:04.383 --> 00:15:06.018
- A God whose nameis more than enough
- 00:15:06.018 --> 00:15:08.721
- is more than enoughwill never stop at enough.
- 00:15:08.721 --> 00:15:10.022
- will never stop at enough.David said,
- 00:15:10.022 --> 00:15:12.725
- David said,"My cup runneth over."
- 00:15:12.725 --> 00:15:15.094
- "My cup runneth over."He is a God of overflow.
- 00:15:15.094 --> 00:15:16.328
- He is a God of overflow.He doesn't just want
- 00:15:16.328 --> 00:15:18.197
- He doesn't just wantto give you enough.
- 00:15:18.197 --> 00:15:19.865
- to give you enough.He wants to give you
- 00:15:19.865 --> 00:15:22.134
- He wants to give youmore than enough.
- 00:15:22.134 --> 00:15:24.103
- more than enough.God says, "I'm not blind.
- 00:15:24.103 --> 00:15:26.705
- God says, "I'm not blind.I'm just a God of overflow,
- 00:15:26.705 --> 00:15:28.374
- I'm just a God of overflow,and I want you to understand
- 00:15:28.374 --> 00:15:29.408
- and I want you to understandthat My blessing
- 00:15:29.408 --> 00:15:31.143
- that My blessingis greater than your capacity
- 00:15:31.143 --> 00:15:32.244
- is greater than your capacityto contain it.
- 00:15:32.244 --> 00:15:34.313
- to contain it.My blessing is not limited
- 00:15:34.313 --> 00:15:35.814
- My blessing is not limitedto what your little glass
- 00:15:35.814 --> 00:15:37.182
- to what your little glasssays you can hold.
- 00:15:37.182 --> 00:15:39.351
- says you can hold.But when I pour out my blessing,
- 00:15:39.351 --> 00:15:41.186
- But when I pour out my blessing,I'll pour out a blessing
- 00:15:41.186 --> 00:15:42.955
- I'll pour out a blessingyou won't have room enough
- 00:15:42.955 --> 00:15:44.023
- you won't have room enoughto receive.
- 00:15:44.023 --> 00:15:45.557
- to receive.It'll be pressed down,
- 00:15:45.557 --> 00:15:46.892
- It'll be pressed down,shaken together,
- 00:15:46.892 --> 00:15:48.093
- shaken together,running over.
- 00:15:48.093 --> 00:15:50.529
- running over.Shall men give unto your bosom."
- 00:15:50.529 --> 00:15:51.730
- Shall men give unto your bosom."I know what I'm preaching
- 00:15:51.730 --> 00:15:52.698
- I know what I'm preachingis the truth,
- 00:15:52.698 --> 00:15:53.932
- is the truth,and I don't know what people
- 00:15:53.932 --> 00:15:54.867
- and I don't know what peoplehave taught you,
- 00:15:54.867 --> 00:15:56.602
- have taught you,but don't you dare believe
- 00:15:56.602 --> 00:15:57.636
- but don't you dare believethat God just wants you
- 00:15:57.636 --> 00:15:58.637
- that God just wants youto have enough.
- 00:15:58.637 --> 00:16:00.105
- to have enough.He's the God of
