This story begins with Jesus’ pain & loss
10
[Herod] had John
beheaded [murdered] in
the prison . . .
12
then John’s disciples went and told Jesus.
13
When Jesus heard what had happened,
he withdrew
by boat
privately
to a
solitary
place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns.
14
When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.Slide3

We
must MAKE ROOM for others’
needs
in the midst of our own
“When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion [deep inward passionate love] on them and healed their sick.” [Mt 14:14]Slide4
Our healing is never complete
without
serving God’s healing in
others.
“Is
not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to
loose the chains of injustice . . . to set the
oppressed
free . . . and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
THEN
your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly
appear
”
[Is 58:6-8]Slide5

“As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
16
Jesus replied, “
They do not need to go away.
You
give them something to eat
.”Slide8
17
“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18
“
Bring them here to me
,” he said.
19
And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he
gave thanks
and
broke
the loaves.”Slide9
#2
We must MAKE ROOM for
the Holy Spirit (to work miracles for His mission of love)
“Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” [Mt 14:16]Slide10
The multiplying miracles of Jesus
happen when you are:
1.
thankful
for what you have, and
2.
broken
of the trust in what you have
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory. . . “

Eph
3:20-21]Slide11

[joyfully and victoriously] picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
21
The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children. [v19-21]Slide13

[
Mt 14:20]Slide14
“I [Jesus] tell
you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even
greater things
than these, because I am going to the Father.
13
And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.
14
You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
John 14:12-14 / Greater ThingsSlide15
“You
want something but don’t get it. You
kill [or hate]
and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight.
You do not have, because you do not ask God
.
3
When
you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with
wrong motives
, that you may spend what you get on your
[selfish and worldly] pleasures.”
