- Jesus took 5 loaves and 2 fish. Surrender. When we surrender anything to God, great power isreleased. The situation is now is Jesus' hands.
- Jesus gave thanks. Thanksgiving changes the atmosphere. The spiritual atmosphere had been, "Send the people away." "Let the people save themselves." When the Master began thanksgiving, the atmosphere changed and the Father was invited into the situation.
- Jesus broke the bread. When we are weak, Scripture tells us, then we become strong. It is the humble and the broken that have easy access to the grace of God vs. the proud and the arrogant. Jesus knew that as He broke the bread and tore apart the fish.
- Jesus gave. Luke 6:38 tells us that when we give God gives back to us pressed down, shaken together, full and running over. As Jesus gave to each disciple to distribute, more was given back to Him until 5, 000 + were fed and satisfied.
These are principles of the Kingdom. They work! See which ones the Lord means for you to use in ministry this week with your family, friends, and neighbors and see if a little will go a long way.
