-
the world around us. We pray this teaching blesses

-
Just want to share with you a few few thoughts from Exodus
Exodus 16 chapter mention
-
chapter 16. Exodus 16 is the place we talk
-
about. I Lord put this in my heart, but
-
not necessarily coupling it with Elisha's dedication.
-
But it's just gels so beautifully.
-
You know, everything is flowing smooth.
-
It is God or any type believe. So before I go into the message,
-
I want to share a couple of stories so that we understand
-
more clearly how God provides and how God sustains, how God
-
protects, how God leads. There is a lady, I mean a young
-
girl of 19 years of age. Her name was Gladys Aylward.
-
Anybody heard that name? Gladys Aylward.
-
She was a house maid in the north of London.
-
But when she was going to the church and, you know, in times
-
of prayer, God put in her heart that she should go as a
-
missionary to China. And that is in the early 1900s,
-
travel was not easy. There were no flights.
-
She had to travel by land, by sea, you know, so many different
-
modes of transport. But she did not have.
-
She volunteers and goes to the Missionary Society and says,
-
please send me to China. So they said, OK, you need to go
-
through Bible college. So she went into the seminary
-
and she failed the exam. And the lady who was in charge
-
said, Gladys, you cannot go to China because you have failed in
-
the Bible course. But this lady, she did not give
-
up. She kept on praying and asking
-
God, God, open a door for me. Then there was a request from
-
one of the missionaries in China that she wanted a helping hand.
-
She put her hand up. Can I go?
-
And before that, she was working as a house maid and trying to
-
save every penny, every, every pound.
-
And she would take up extra jobs sowing, you know, anything that
-
she can do to and guest to get an extra pound, she would do it.
-
So she accumulated some money and then when with great
-
difficulty, when she was offering herself, the people
-
said, OK, you can go to China because the lady in China said,
-
I will take that Lady. And she bought a ticket and was
-
travelling by train. But the train got stuck up in
-
Siberia, in Russia, you know, so many difficulties.
-
But this lady had persisted until she landed in China.
-
She was called the little woman because she was small in stature
-
and because of her love for God and serving the people.
-
People had great respect for her.
-
She won their respect. And then the Second World War.
-
During that time the Japanese were attacking China and she had
-
undertaken to take care of orphans who are about 100 to 200
-
people, children who during the war they were being deserted.
-
Parents are being killed, so the children will not have anyone to
-
take care. She was taking them under her
-
wings and she heard that the Japanese are going to attack her
-
village where she is with the children.
-
So she had to run for nearly 100 miles with this hundred children
-
and day and night she she took them through for nearly a week
-
or so. But when she came to the Yellow
-
River, she was stuck there, exhausted, no food and no
-
strength. And the children were all
-
asking, Gladys, we are hungry, how can you sustain ourselves
-
here? We are going to die.
-
She said, Don't worry, Jesus is with us.
-
He is our food. It's not the physical food that
-
you eat. But when he is with you, he will
-
give you the strength. And when they were struck by the
-
river, the Chinese naval ship turned up one day when she was
-
ready. It is unusual for a Navy Navy
-
ship to come to that region. And they found the children
-
famished, weak, exhausted. So they took them into the boat
-
and gave them food and then helped them cross the river as
-
well. When we have faith, God will not
-
abandon us. He is with us.
-
I tell you my experience that being born in a Hindu family, no
-
connection with Bible, no connection to prayer, no
-
connection to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
-
But there were difficult times when I was going through as a
-
child. I know it was Jesus who came to
-
my rescue. Now I know it.
-
So whether you know him, you don't know him.
-
When you see supernaturally A provision coming to you, it is
-
always Jesus. Can you shout Hallelujah?
-
One more story. You all heard the name of George
-
Mueller. He was from Bristol IN England
-
again. He ran 5 orphanages, but he
-
never appealed for funds. He never asked for money.
-
Oh, I am running this orphanage, please, I need money, I need
-
money. No, he never asked for money.
-
S there was a time one day when there was number bread, no milk
-
for the children. And he was told in the morning,
-
hmm, there is nothing there to feed the children.
-
So he went into the Lord's presence and said, prayed Lord,
-
you have not let us down even once anytime.
-
Now we have no bread, no milk, Please provide for the children.
-
And the night before there was a Baker in the city, in the town,
-
and he was told in the dream you have to bake bread for the
-
children. So early morning he woke up and
-
he break some bread and he brought it to the orphanage and
-
he gave the bread. Then outside the orphanage there
-
was a van carrying milk that broke down.
-
How can you orchestrate these things all to happen at the same
-
time? It's not in human hands.
-
It is only God who can do that. So when the milk van broke down,
-
they said please use the milk before it gets spoiled.
-
So children had bread and milk. Can we shout Hallelujah?
-
So this is what I'm talking about.
-
It is living by faith means looking to Jesus, being
-
sustained by Him, being provided for by Him, being guided by him,
-
being led by Him. I tell you, it's an awesome
-
thing to know this Jesus and also to follow him, his great
-
joy in it. I have made this decision nearly
-
47 years ago and I don't regret it.
-
I do not regret it. I know he is a living one and he
-
will not fail. So this particular chapter,
-
Exodus 16, it talks about God providing, pouring down bread
-
from heaven. You may say, come on, that
-
Sunday school's children's story is not true.
-
No, it is true. You may say, how do you know it
-
is true? Because after all this event is
-
over, Moses told Aaron, collect this heavenly bread mana, put in
-
a golden jar, and put inside the ark of the Covenant as a
-
testimony to the succeeding generations.
-
If it was not true, why would he tell them?
-
It is not mass hypnotism when you are hungry, just somebody
-
does something and you do not feel hungry anymore.
-
It is not like that. It is not for a day.
-
They were fed this supernatural food for 40 years as you are
-
wandering in the wilderness every day without fail.
-
They were provided for by God, and when God intervenes and
-
provides, it is always abundant. Everybody say abundant.
-
He does not give you little bit here, little bit there.
-
He gives you abundantly because he is God, because he is God.
-
SI want you to look at this abundance.
-
How abundant was the provision he made in the wilderness?
-
I was reading about King Solomon, his daily amount
-
required for him every day, how much he spends on food.
-
He had 10 head of Auxen stable fed.
-
That means you have to feed the grain and things like that and
-
then cut it one day and make meat out of it. 10 heads a day
-
and 20 heads of cattle. There is a grazing on the field
-
and then you have got sheep and goose and then you have got
-
ghazal and you got Peacocks and you got so many different kinds
-
of animals which are rare meats and then so many thousands of
-
kilos a ton or so of the food being cooked.
-
I sat down and calculated how many people can eat so much of
-
food. There were feedings anywhere
-
between 10,000 to 20,000 people depending on how much they ate.
-
So that is the requirement of a king for one day.
-
And think about how much bread is required for feeding 2
-
million people, 2 million people.
-
They were each allowed how much to collect.
-
They had a measure which is, you know, modern day it is equal to
-
1.4 liters per head. If there are five people they
-
can, they are allowed to have 7-7 measures of it or whatever.
-
But let's go down to make it simple.
-
Let's make it only one liter per head. 2 million people.
-
One liter per head. How many liters you have to
-
gather every day? 200,000 tons. 200,000 I mean, Oh
-
yeah, 200 tons. That's a lot.
-
Imagine the whole crash chase being filled with mana
-
everywhere you walk. That is how much it was
-
provided. You know the word of God does
-
not talk many things. It allows your imagination to
-
understand. It only says God rain down bread
-
from heaven but how much did he do?
-
2 million people have to eat it. So when when these people came
-
particularly, I want to say one thing here in chapter 16, you
-
see the whole Israel community set out from Elam and came to
-
the Desert of Sin, which is between Elam and Sinai on the
-
15th day of the second month after they came out of Egypt.
-
So they were set free by God from Egypt.
-
They are set free from slavery. They are walking through now how
-
long have been, how long they have been coming or traveling
-
since they were set free. Just four weeks because they are
-
set free 15th day of the first month.
-
Now this is the 15th day of the second month.
-
In this four weeks. What did they see?
-
They saw those 10 plagues, the last plague.
-
Eldest son of every family died, including animals.
-
The first born of the animal also died and there was great
-
cry in Egypt. They said get now, get away from
-
here. They set them free.
-
They went and asked for ornaments and silver and gold.
-
The people of Egypt gave it to them freely, joyfully, because
-
these people are leaving in one day.
-
They plundered Egypt, They walked away with the wealth.
-
All the wealth of Egypt was in the hands of Israel and they
-
travelled through so much. So much has happened in this
-
four weeks. The Egyptians came and chased
-
them and they were stuck by the sea and God opened the way.
-
Two weeks ago we talked about how God split the Red Sea and
-
made them walk through the sea. So these are all the mighty,
-
mighty, mighty miracles. But you know what?
-
We all humans have got a short term memory.
-
God can do miracles, but we forget very quickly.
-
We forget the miracles very quickly.
-
In four weeks time they forgot this God, how great he is.
-
And now they started grumbling and murmuring and complaining to
-
Moses. So that's that's that's what it
-
is. We have a very short memory.
-
So what happens here is in the desert, the whole community
-
grumbled against Moses and Aaron was three.
-
Israel said to them, if only we had died by the Lord's hand in
-
Egypt, what does it mean if only God killed us in Egypt?
-
What they are trying to say they said it is enough.
-
We do not like this walking by faith.
-
We do not like this God leading us through desert.
-
We would have been better off if we had died one month ago in the
-
Egypt. What they are trying to say is
-
they do not like. I would say they did not
-
appreciate the freedom they are getting.
-
They were looking back to the slavery and enjoying the
-
slavery. They are saying, ah, we were
-
slaves, but we had food to eat. We had this fish to eat, we had
-
this pumpkin, we had this vegetables.
-
We had all the things we wanted that slavery was better than the
-
freedom. Now, so many times we don't
-
appreciate the present time when we go through problems.
-
When you are going through difficulties, we don't
-
appreciate God at that time. That's the time we need to have
-
faith. That's the time we need to look
-
back the mighty miracles God has done until now, and that will
-
sustain your present. The past will sustain your
-
present. The past experience of God will
-
sustain you in the present situation that you are going
-
through the crisis. So they came and cried out to
-
them. They, they were, they said there
-
were. We sat around pots of meat and
-
ate all the food we wanted. But you have brought us out into
-
this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.
-
So accusing Moses and Aaron, you brought us here to kill again.
-
That is misdirected. The complaint is misdirected.
-
Are Moses, Aaron responsible for their situation?
-
No, it is God who is brought brought them into the desert
-
instead of crying out to God. My question is like you are
-
complaining to God, murmuring against God and God is
-
graciously providing manner. If you ask him nicely will he
-
give yes or no? Yes, so many times we ask the
-
wrong way and sometimes we don't get it also because we asked it
-
the wrong way. We have to know how to ask God.
-
We have to know how great He is. And we have to appreciate.
-
We have to praise Him. We have to thank Him and then
-
ask Him. You know, we are in the
-
situation, will you please do something about it?
-
And He'll be glad to do it because He's a heavenly Father.
-
He wants to answer your prayer. Can we say it loud?
-
He wants to answer our prayer. That is the question is how do
-
we ask him? That is the question.
-
OK, so for them known slavery was looking better than
-
uncertain freedom. Slavery is known to them 480
-
years. There were slaves there 480
-
years, and now they are set free.
-
But they do not appreciate the freedom.
-
They look back and say slavery was good, bondage was good,
-
oppression was good. What kind of people are there?
-
So this expression of this is an expression of unbelief.
-
I wish I were dead by the hand of God is saying this is an
-
expression of unbelief and the desire to live disconnected from
-
God. They wanted to live a life
-
disconnected from God. I have nothing to do with this
-
God. I do not want anything to do
-
with this God. He can be great, He can do
-
miracles. I don't want anything now
-
because of my problem now I don't want him.
-
We become short sighted when we are going through difficulties
-
and we complain and God says no my son, no, my daughter, I love
-
you. I will come through this time.
-
I'll show you my glory, I I I so he, the Lord gave them
-
instruction. The Lord said to Moses in verse
-
four, I will rain down bread from heaven for you.
-
You know, we need to have faith to expect it to happen.
-
There was a time in a fam, a famine in Israel and during
-
Elisha's time and there was a guy who was a commander kind of
-
a position and Elisha, they go to Elisha and say there was no
-
food there. Basically the city and there was
-
a lady who killed her son along with the another lady.
-
They said today we will eat our son, tomorrow we will eat your
-
son. But the next day the other lady
-
said no I do not want my son to be killed, but they ate the son
-
the day before. When king heard about it he said
-
no, this is not right and then go to elation complain about it.
-
Elisha said tomorrow by this time this is what is going to
-
happen, the grain is going to sell for this price.
-
A donkey said, is going to sell for this price.
-
And the commander said, even if God opens the windows of heaven
-
and pours it down, will it happen?
-
And Elijah said, you will see it, but not eat it.
-
And next day, you know, the miracle happened.
-
The miracle happened and the people of the city, they rushed
-
out and raided the camp of the enemies and they splendered it
-
and and it was selling so cheap, the grain and the donkey and
-
everything. But when they rushed out, they
-
trampled down this commander and he died.
-
He saw it but didn't eat it. So what is the what is that that
-
is going to help you see a miracle in your life?
-
How can you see a miracle in your life?
-
There is no other way than faith in this great God.
-
Trust Him. When things get hot, trust Him.
-
When it becomes tight, situation is tight, trust Him, praise Him.
-
His hand will come through and set you free.
-
So he said, what did the what? The instructions God gave was
-
very, very simple. He said to them, I will rain
-
down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each
-
day and gather enough for the day.
-
In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my
-
instructions. On the 6th day they have to
-
prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as
-
they gather on other days. That means you gather enough for
-
the day, do not hold it. So next day morning they find
-
mana and everybody is happy and some of them go out and gather
-
lots and lots and they keep some.
-
And next day morning when they wake up, it is smelling very bad
-
and they have maggots in it, living creatures crawling inside
-
and they had to throw it out, everything.
-
And Moses got very angry with them.
-
Did I not tell you, You have to trust God for next day's
-
provision. Do not keep it today.
-
They did not listen. Come 6th day, they go out and
-
gather. Moreover, on the first day
-
itself, some people gathered more, some people gathered less.
-
But when they put it in the Omer, Omer is a major, is
-
something like 2.4 liters or two liters.
-
Omer 1.4 liters, sorry, 1.4 liters.
-
When they pour it into the Omer, the one who gathered more did
-
not have anything left. The one who gathered less did
-
not have less, it was full. How do you explain it?
-
It is beyond logic. Our logic fails when we deal
-
with God. Our logic does not come to our
-
rescue to understand when we deal with God.
-
So it was like that. And on the 6th day Moses told go
-
and gather double the quantity, double the quantity.
-
And they did, they cooked it, they kept the food, but it did
-
not spoil. Next day, no smell, no maggots,
-
because God wanted to train them to observe Sabbath. 7th day is
-
holy to the Lord. You shall do no work.
-
How you will not do work. Even this is work.
-
I have put a picture on the Facebook, basically.
-
I don't know whether we have it accessible here to show.
-
No, they were just busy. You know, you think of it one
-
liter per head and you had to go and collect it from the ground.
-
It is going to be hard work, not easy work.
-
And that's enough. Let's say the six members in the
-
family, you have to get 6 liters of it.
-
It's going to be work. And after you gather it, you can
-
bake it, you can boil it, do whatever you like with that.
-
Sometimes when you go to buy potatoes in the market, there
-
will be tick, tick, tick, baked, tick, you know, boiled tick, so
-
many things sticks. Then you say, ah, Agria, that is
-
a good one. Van Rosa, that is a good one.
-
But here is mana that fits. Anything you do to eat, anything
-
you do to eat, you bake it, you boil it, you do whatever you
-
like. And it was good and it was
-
described as look like coriander, but made with made of
-
wafers and honey. It tasted like wafers and honey,
-
but you can bake it, you can do whatever you like.
-
It was amazing. I am telling you because of this
-
food. This food is a food of angels,
-
basically angels in heaven. They feed on mana and God fed
-
his people with mana. Now when you look into the
-
Hebrew language mana, you do not have a big thing.
-
You just have like 2 consonants main and noon ma, M&N.
-
But the Israelites when they look at M&N, they can read it as
-
mana. So the vowels are not supplied
-
when you write it, but those who know the language know what to
-
say when they look at the consonants.
-
So mame and noon are the 2 consonants.
-
Meme stands for number 40 in Hebrew culture and known stands
-
for 50. So what does meme stand for?
-
4040 stands for testing for this stands for wilderness experience
-
for this stands for going through difficult times and 50
-
is the year of jubilee when slaves are set free you your
-
debt is cancelled and you which has walk into freedom.
-
So manner is a symbolic of both experiences God testing us.
-
Secondly, God setting us free both is much more I had done
-
about this one whole day I was stuck on meditating just on meme
-
the Hebrew letter. I am not going to say all that
-
now because our time will not be enough for that.
-
Next thing that we see here is this manner.
-
Why we are studying about this manner is there was another
-
person who came along after nearly 1500 years and he said I
-
am the bread of life. Who is that?
-
Jesus? That's why we need to study.
-
So Jesus said I am the bread of life.
-
And how did he do that? He basically multiplied the
-
bread in John chapter 6. You see in the miracle that
John 6 chapter mention
-
Jesus did was he had five loaves of bread and two fish that from
-
a small boy and there are 5000 men and women and children.
-
So if you put them together, I believe it should be at least
-
10,000 people. And Jesus says give them
-
something to eat. And the disciples said, ah, even
-
if we get so much of money, one years of ages, can we any,
-
everybody get a bite? Just a bite, No.
-
And we are in the wilderness. This is a mountain area.
-
Where will we go and buy, bring this bread?
-
And Jesus said, make them sit in 50s and hundreds.
-
So they all were spread out on the mountainside.
-
And then he took the bread and the fish, he looked up to
-
heaven, blessed it and gave to the disciples.
-
And the disciples gave to the people.
-
Everybody ate that day. Everybody ate stomach full.
-
They was satiated, they were filled up until that they ate.
-
And then they start looking for Him.
-
Next day he left the place, went to some other place.
-
They came looking for him and found him.
-
Oh, where did you come here? Jesus said to them, You are
-
looking for me because you ate stomach full yesterday.
-
You do not seek God for a miracle.
-
You seek God for who he is. And they did not seek Jesus
-
because they want to appreciate him.
-
They did not seek Jesus because they want to say you are our
-
Savior, you are our God, you are our king.
-
No, their stomach was filled by the bread and the fish and they
-
wanted more of it, and therefore they followed him, looking for
-
him. I said no, no, no, no.
-
That's the wrong way to do things.
-
Christians can do the same thing.
-
We can seek God for miracles. We can seek God for answers to
-
our problems, but that is how we are built.
-
I'm telling you, we are built to know this God and connect with
-
him through our need. He said show me a man who
-
doesn't have a need. I was reading about somebody by
-
name Rockefeller. Rockefeller, He became a
-
billionaire when he was 30 or 31 years of age.
-
That is long time ago, when billion was something
-
unimaginable. Today that wealth is equal to
-
238 billion. But when he was 50 or 51, he was
-
going down downhill. Health was fit and he was not
-
able to eat anything except soup and something vegetables.
-
And one day, after one year of suffering, he realized that all
-
the wealth cannot help him. And he was a Christian too, and
-
I think the Lord spoke to him to do something with the wealth.
-
So he started the Rockefeller Foundation.
-
He started donating money, and because of that, penicillin was
-
discovered because of his generosity and many people who
-
are held helped and so much good has come out of it.
-
But after one year, what he discovered was that his health
-
started improving when he started giving away the money
-
and he lived for another 44 years.
-
What am I trying to say here? You see God not to benefit, just
-
you see God for His glory. There is a plan and a purpose
-
God has for your life. Ask him, what do you want to do
-
with my life? I give my life into your hands.
-
And you will be blessed for doing that.
-
You'll be blessed for doing it. So here we have the story and as
-
we were listening, the people asked Jesus what is the question
-
they asked in 620 John 628. They asked him, what must we do
-
to do the works of God, works God requires.
-
Jesus answered. The work of God is this to
-
believe in the one he has sent. That's your work.
-
It is not to climb this port hills, not to go up the Alps or
-
Mount Everest. It is to believe in Jesus.
-
That is the work you do. And when you believe in him, you
-
find fulfillment in your life. Meaning, purpose.
-
Everything comes by that faith. You know when when Jesus speaks,
-
people always respond in a positive way.
-
So when he was talking about the heavenly bread, they said give
-
us this bread every day. Then he says I am the bread of
-
life. Bread is not an object outside
-
of you, it is in Jesus. He is the bread of life.
-
If you learn to feed on him, you, he will sustain you because
-
of your faith. Gladys Aleward, He told the
-
children, Jesus is our bread, He is everything to us.
-
And what happened? Did they find help when they
-
needed it? Very interestingly, Gladys
-
became sick after crossing the river.
-
She had no strength, she was dehydrated, and she needed help
-
herself. But she helped those hundred
-
children sustain through the wilderness for a week, no food,
-
no water, and they were just struggling.
-
But God came through and saved those 100 people because of
-
faith. Because of faith.
-
And we can experience this Jesus.
-
I am telling you as one who has come from another faith.
-
I am not born in a Christian family.
-
I was born a Hindu worshipping idols.
-
But at the age of 16 I heard about Jesus.
-
And I said to Jesus, only one thing I want to know.
-
I hear that you are a living God.
-
All the gods in Hinduism are dead, but you are a living God.
-
Prove yourself living God. In my life there was a one
-
sentence. I prayed and my life turned from
-
there. And after 47 years, I stand
-
before you to say that He is a living God.
-
I have no regret. You make that step of faith and
-
He will not fail you. You make the step of faith, He
-
will not fail you. And he talked to a lady by
-
Samaritan woman at the well. Give me some water to drink.
-
He has a long conversation. But after all, she said you
-
don't have a rope, you don't have a bucket, how are you going
-
to give me? He said if you know who is it
-
that is asking you for water, you will ask Him and He will
-
give you reverse, allowing water to flow out of your belly.
-
It becomes like a well within you.
-
She said give me this water so that I do not have to come here
-
every day. Was it physical?
-
No, she still did not understand.
-
Believing in Jesus is He is our food, He is our drink.
-
All that you need is food and drink, bread and water.
-
He is both. He will sustain you if you have
-
faith in Him. You know the more I think about
-
Jesus every day, my appreciation for Jesus increases.
-
I tell you, after 40 plus years of believing in Him, every day
-
is a new day. Every day I look at His face is
-
something new I hear about Him, something new.
-
I learn about Him and my heart rejoices because He is such a
-
loving God. He gives keeps revelation all
-
the time. Your understanding keeps
-
increasing and you can never exhaust him.
-
One lifetime is not enough to understand Him.
-
So mana must be collected daily. We must avoid in Jesus daily.
-
That is the parallel that we have as they depended on mana
-
every day. We have to depend on Jesus every
-
day. You have to feed on Him every
-
day. Then the word mana that we have
-
in English, in Hebrew it is man who?
-
Everybody say man who? So I told you about maim and
-
noon already. So that's man who, because when
-
they saw the bread flex of it on the ground, they saw it and
-
said, what is it? In Hebrew it means man who?
-
And Moses said, that is the bread that God has rained down
-
from heaven for you. So ever since he's been known as
-
man who or in English translation mana manna is the
-
heavenly bread reign known from heaven.
-
But it has puzzled the people who received it.
-
So are the people in the 1st century puzzled when they saw
-
Jesus? Jesus said I am the bread of
-
life. They said what is he saying?
-
What is he saying? Is he not the son of Joseph and
-
Mary? Don't you know his brothers and
-
sisters? How can he say he is the bread
-
come from heaven? When you hear about Jesus, it
-
puzzles you. It will upset you sometimes,
-
will disturb you. But I tell you, the only way you
-
understand Jesus is by faith. You cannot rationalize Him.
-
You cannot put him in a box, you cannot analyze him.
-
You cannot put him in a test tube.
-
He is beyond our inquiry. He is God, He is outside this
-
world, yet he invaded the world and he wants to invade our own
-
life, our world, by stepping into our life.
-
But we need to say come into my heart.
-
When we do that, you receive real bread, real drink.
-
I'm not even halfway through, but I'll tell you some clues so
-
you can go home and pursue this topic.
-
There are three places man has discussed.
-
One is Exodus chapter 16. The 2nd place that you see man
Exodus 16 chapter mention
-
are discussed in John chapter 6 in the gospel.
John 6 chapter mention
-
And the third place is 1 Corinthians chapter 10.
1 Corinthians 10 chapter mention
-
There are some warnings given. Whatever happened to Israel
-
happened as an example to us. That's what Paul writes.
-
Whatever happened that would happen to that example so that
-
you may learn from this experience, that you may
-
experience this Jesus as they experience.
-
Why? Because he says they fed on
-
this. They fed by the supernatural
-
food and supernatural drink. The rock that followed them was
-
Jesus Christ. They drank from the rock that
-
followed him, followed them. That is Jesus Christ.
-
That is the that is the time when I was thinking about it, I
-
said, oh, even when I did not know him, He was my bread, He
-
was my drink. I tell you how refreshing it is
-
to think thoughts of Jesus. It puts New Hope, it puts new
-
power in your heart. So I leave it there.
-
Basically in that one course, chapter 10, it says don't be
-
idolaters. We should not commit sexual
-
immorality, we should not test Christ, do not gramble.
-
They all had negative consequences.
-
All these actions, they had negative consequences.
-
But when you have faith, you are delivered, you're fed, you're
-
provided for, you're guided, you're protected.
-
And that can happen by faith, only by faith.
-
There's no other way. So what I want to do now is
-
this. Jesus said I am the bread.
-
So we are going to feed by faith and partake in the communion.
-
The communion stands for his, His body and the blood.
-
That's the food and drink. That bread that we eat
-
represents his body and the juice we have represents His
-
blood. That is the water the Israel
-
drank from the rock. The rock is split so that they
-
can be. Their thirst can be satisfied.
-
So we need to feed on His body and the blood.
-
That is what we do when we partake in the communion.
-
And when you have the communion, whatever you ask, your prayer is
-
going to be answered. You ask for healing.
-
Jesus, I eat your body and drink your blood.
-
Heal me. Now you will receive your
-
healing and whatever is troubling you that is going to
-
be removed because He will put His finger and remove the
-
problem in your life. So let us partake in the
-
communion. Now what we have here, we have a
-
table set here in the front on the right hand side and this one
-
on the left hand side and we can move out of our chairs.
-
If you believe in this Jesus and you want to feed on His body and
-
the blood, you can walk to any of the table and pick up a piece
-
of bread and pick up a small cup and come back to your seat and
-
we will partake together. We all will have at the same
-
time, Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord, I read.
-
There's a relationship between you and God.
-
Many of us have come as Christians, that of Egypt, and
-
we're in the wilderness and God wants to fix what is broken in
-
our relationship. With Yeah Man Communion.
-
It's a time where you can make an exchange.
-
Please feel free to. Walk to the table, pick up a
-
piece of bread and the grape juice which represents blood.
-
And when you come back? To your seat we will partake
-
together after prayer. Thank you Jesus.
-

-
We partake in it, Father, we thank you for your Son Jesus
-
Christ. We thank you for He is the bread
-

-

-
Father, we are partake in his body and the blood.
-
And as we partake in the body and the blood, by faith, I pray
-
that you heal us. Everybody who partakes in your
-
flesh and your drink the blood, let them receive your healing
-
and let them receive answer to the problem they are going
-
through when they are walking through the wilderness.
-
You be. You come through my Father, and
-
you help them. You save them.
-
You direct their paths and I pray that they may find a way
-
where there's no way to the glory of your name.
-
In the name of Jesus, command healing for those who need
-
healing. And I command right now in the
-
name of Jesus a way to be opened so that they may see your hand
-
in their life to the glory of your name.
-
Let the crisis pass by. Let the door open is a looking
-
for a job. Let the job come.
-
I pray my Father, whatever is their need, let that need be
-
fulfilled to the glory of your name.
