“ Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s
brother, spoke up, “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small
fish, but how far will they go among so many?”
John 15:8-9
Do you believe in the power and authority of God to be
manifested in the earth?
Wait, wait – because, while what you say is important,
what you do is even more evident of your level of belief.
We can say we believe a lot of things but how we live
our lives truly reveals our heart convictions.
Our ability to see the power and authority of God and
believe it will be as He said before it manifests is one key that releases the
resources of heaven in this world.
In the familiar passage above Jesus saw and believed
what Andrew did not.
In seeing and believing, Jesus released the resources
of heaven and the supernatural provision was supplied.
It didn’t take more than half a year’s wages as Philip
had spoken just a verse earlier.
Jesus modeled for them – and for us – what can happen when
we trust and believe in the power and authority of a heavenly Father who loves
us and cares for us in the most practical ways.
Jesus did not send them away as some had suggested.
He met the need and in so doing brought glory to the
Father.
How many opportunities might there be today in each of
our lives to bring glory to God if we believe God’s power and authority is
available to us to meet the needs of a hurting people?
Like the loaves and fishes, I think those opportunities
would multiply as we believe!
