This Sunday we looked at the story of Jesus using the 2 fish and 5 loaves to feed 5000 (John 6:1-13 The Message). Isn't it interesting how little becomes much when you place it in the Master's hands? First we see Jesus go through a process to stretch Philip's faith - after stretching faith, He stretches the little boy's lunch - after stretching the lunch, He stretched the people and put them to work gathering the leftovers.
We are resilient! We are fireproof! We are stretchy!
God is up to something among us - He's stretching our faith, stretching our resources, and stretching us! I received the first report today - just a day after the message, an overcomer contacted me and let me know that he had experienced the stretch in resources. He had an old bill that was $646 and was able to settle for $400. This individual made a conscious faith shift and mindset shift in his finances.
God stretched His faith - stretched His resources - and, is stretching him. I encourage you all to stretch your faith and watch God stretch your resources and yourself!
Wow, what a great testimony! Pastor, you are so right, God is up to something! It's like a balloon being filled with air, God will take us and fill us with Himself and we will begin to stretch out and become bigger. God can stretch anything for anyone. I am happy that I feel Him stretching me, because at least I know He isn't leaving me out of this great move!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Sister Jessica - it's definitely a blessing to be stretched!
