Can I Have Your Lunch | John 6 | P. J. Morales

talk to mom that

if it's okay to sing before I preach to

lessen my nerves because my hand is

really shaking right now and I'm really

nervous. Please do pray for me and

I just want to greet you all. Um h merry

Christmas and a happy new year. Yeah, as

some of people says it's better to be

late than never. Yeah, so merry

Christmas and happy new year. Anyway, um

a lot of people this year set a new year

resolution, right? Um some of them they

want to be a good person. Some of them

um they want to be healthier this year

to save some money to be more hard

worker. And but this evening,

the Lord want us to teach how to live

this year. He want us to teach how to

live this year. And I believe some of us

when we celebrate Christmas and New

Year, they give a present to our

nephews, niece, grandchildren,

or children. And maybe some of us

receive a present from them. And every

time we receive that kind of presence

and I believe we we try to cherish it,

we try to keep it. We tried to um we

tried to what it we tried to treasure

it. But this morning or this evening I

should say what makes this book

such absolute a treasure to us? What

makes this book such absolutely treasure

to us? Maybe some somebody says, "Well,

this Bible, this scripture

is a book of salvation. This is a

revelation of God. This is the book he

reveals and deals other people." Maybe

somebody says that this is this book is

a handbook for living or for as a as a

Bible scholar as a saved Christian as a

person who accept the Lord Jesus Christ

as his savior. Maybe this book is the

way

we live.

Notice this church. If we follow the

principles of these scriptures, if we

follow this the principles and the

guidance of this um scriptures, our life

where experience to our life is a very

best. But if we neglect this book, if we

violate this scripture, we experience

the very bitter harvest in our lives.

That's why it's a very important the way

we view this scripture, the way we

understand this book with the way we

practice the principles in this book.

You know church,

there's a lot of wonderful principles in

these scriptures that's so practical for

us every day. There's a lot of parables

in this scripture that we encourage us

this year. There's a lot of parables in

these scriptures.

It tells how to live in Christ, how to

live in this world. And I believe

there's a lot of events in these

scriptures, especially the events of the

life of Paul, especially in the life of

the Lord Jesus Christ. how we make a

miracle to the people and especially

when saying in this world the saying of

the Lord Jesus Christ and one of those

events that God want us to teach this

evening and the events that I want to

preach this evening the title of my

message is when the path seems too hard

to walk. When the path seems too hard to

walk or when the thing seems impossible,

have you have faced a a moment when

situation in front of us but completely

impossible? Have you felt that

circumstances? Because

a lot of things, a lot of circumstances

I face it especially when my grandmother

diagnosed as a as a breast cancer has a

breast cancer

and the doctor said to him to her she

will live for 7 months. That's back in

2005.

But you know church my grandmother is

still alive until now and that's a

blessing. We faced the experience. We we

felt like that moment it's really

impossible to for her to live that long

because the doctor said she will live

for 7 years or for 7 months. But until

now my grandparents still alive.

You know church

when

when the needs when the needs is

greater than our resources like when the

storm was stronger than our strength or

the question is behind our

comprehension.

Have you felt that? Have you felt that

before? Have you experienced that

before? when

when we are we can do nothing but to

think or or to to think about what we

need to do.

You know when we experience seasons when

the path seems too hard to walk when we

look what we have in our hands because

if we have if if we look in our hands

where are our lack resources but if you

believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is

the source and the beginning of all

things

you will never doubt on what he can do

to our lives.

And I know and I believe that all of us

have felt completely stuck like our back

were against the wall like we didn't

know what to do where to go or or which

direction to turn but I want you to

believe today even the path seems

impossible to walk but for with God

nothing is impossible.

If you have a Bible, can you please open

with me in the book of John 6?

John 6 chapter 1

to 14.

John chapter 6 1 verse to 14.

John 6 · chapter mention

In verse one

says there after these things Jesus went

over the sea of Galilee which in the sea

of the Tiberias and the great multitude

followed him because they saw the

miracle which he did on them that were

deceased. And Jesus went up in the

mountain and there he sat with his

disciple. Maybe Jesus Christ here is to

rest a little rest. And the Passover

feast of the Jews was nigh. When Jesus

then then lift up is up his eyes and saw

a great company come unto him, he said

unto Philillip, whence shall buy bread

that this may eat. And this he said,

prove him for he himself knew what he

would do. actually this is a command and

as a question in verse 7 Philip answered

Philip answered him 200 penny worth of

bread is not sufficient for them that

very one of them make may take a little

and verse 8 one of his disciple Andrew

Simon Peter's brother said unto him

there is a lad here which had which hath

five loaves ley loaves and two small

fish, but what are they among so many?

And verse 10, and Jesus said, make

the man sit down. Now there was a grass

in place, so that man sat down in a

number about 5,000.

And Jesus took the loaves, and when he

had given thanks, he distributed the

disciples, and the disciples to them

that were sat down, and likewise of the

fishes as much as they would. And verse

12, when they were filled, he said unto

his disciple disciples, gather up

fragments that remained that nothing be

lost. And verse 13, therefore they

gathered them together and filled 12

basket with the fragments and five bur

loaves with the remained over over and

above unto them that had eaten. Then

those men which they had seen the

miracle that Jesus did said, "This is of

the truth. the prophet that should come

into the world. Let's go to the Lord and

pray.

Dear God and heavenly father, we come

humbly before your throne of grace with

thanksgiving and humility. Oh God,

Lord, this evening we ask for enough

wisdom, knowledge, understanding as we

study your word. Lord,

if we have a a shortcoming, oh God,

please cleanse our heart, breaks our

heart and mind, oh God, and fill it with

your Holy Spirit so we can easily

understand your words. And Lord, please

anoint my lips. Anoint me behind this

pulpit, oh God. Hide me behind your

cross and may your presence be noticed

this evening. Lord, I am weak. I'm not

strength. I'm not strong,

Lord.

I'm not smart but Lord I have you the

source and the beginning of all thing in

this world. Lord thank you so much once

again for the time that you given to us

to gather to your house and to

study your words. Lord we love you and

we praise you in Jesus name we pray.

Amen and amen.

If we have um if we can see in this

chapter the situation looks impossible

to feed those 5,000 men

not including the women and the children

just the 5,000 men. You know in our

lives if we hit this kind of situation

we didn't know what to do as well. You

know church it looks like impossible for

us to get through in this situation

without any some financial problem

developing but here's the thing I won't

I won't take you long because some

pastor said bless the man who preached

so the pastor

invited me again so I won't take you

long number one when part seems too hard

to walk or when things seems impossible

All

number one, Jesus is aware of our

seemingly impossible situation we face

in life. Jesus is aware of our seemingly

impossible situation.

I didn't say impossible situation but

seemingly situation. Even though it

looks like impossible, it looks like uh

it feels like impossible. It feels like

no hope. It feels like we are all

checkmate in that situation. But I want

to tell you this morning or this evening

where with God nothing is impossible.

You know church, do you know Hana?

Hana the mother of Samuel. You know Hana

she is infertile.

It's impossible for her to conceive a

baby. But you know church when Hana

when Hana never stopped pleasing the

Lord. He never stopped praying to the

Lord. Never stop crying to the Lord. The

Lord heard her prayer. The Lord heard

seized his heart with the full of faith.

When God heard that prayer of Hana, when

he saw the vow of Hana, God answered

Hana's prayer. He gives Samuel

to Hannah. When God heard her cries and

saw her faith, the Lord answered her

prayer and gave Samuel to her. You know

church, like what I've told you, for

with God nothing shall be impossible.

Sometimes we need to give God a right

reason to answer our prayer. Just like

Hana when he prayed for Samuel, he make

a vow to the Lord. He said, "If you gave

me a son, I will give him to you for all

this life." You know, church,

we need to give a reason, a right reason

if we want God to answer our prayer. And

notice this, the disciple asked a wrong

question. to Jesus. In verse 9,

we can see here

the disciples said uh said to Jesus,

"But what are they among so many?"

That's a wrong question. The right

question is now Lord Jesus,

what are you going to do with that? What

are you going to do with that?

How many of us are guilty to ask the

same question to God every time we

experience the seemingly impossible

situation in our lives when we're look

like a checkmate?

To be honest, church, if I am the one

who handle the circumstances,

I am sure I'm going to be a big trouble.

Maybe I will tell to Jesus.

Can we send him back to their home? Can

we send him back away? Because we have

and we have enough food to feed them.

But you know, church, the blessing is

Jesus said, "No, we will feed them." And

that's the blessing of God.

You know church, when we allow when we

allow Jesus Christ, when we allow God to

take over the our seeming impossible

situation in our lives, when we call

him, when we come when when we call him,

when we when we allow him to man over to

our lives, he will come. He will come.

You know, church,

I believe Jesus Christ, he were there to

the disciples. He were there to the

prophets. He were there to Moses, to

David, to Joseph. And I believe when we

call to his name, he will there for us.

Church,

when we call to the name of the Lord, he

will come to deal with it. No matter

what

in a no matter what the situation,

because he heard us. We have a living

God. When we pray, when we pray, he

always listen to us. When we cry, he saw

our tear

because we have a good God looking at

us, guiding guiding us because we have a

omniresence God.

God want us to rely on him to trust him

to call him. In Matthew 7:7, ask it

Matthew 7:7

shall be given. Seek and ye shall find.

Knock and it shall be open unto you. You

know church, this new year.

This new year, God want us to rely on

him. He want us to put our trust and

faith upon him. Not only Jesus is aware

of our seemingly impossible situation we

face in our lives,

but secondly,

Jesus always has a perfect plan

for our seemingly impossible

circumstances

in life.

You know, church, because he knows

exactly what to do. Jesus know exactly

what to do. He knows how he's going to

do with it. And he knows exactly the

resources of that necessary seemingly

impossible circumstances

what we face what you faced in life. You

know church sometimes Christian nowadays

act like an unbeliever. You know church

especially when when the Christian

experience the midst of problem to their

to their lives they always complain like

oh Lord what should I do I have a

problem I have this I have that

what should I do but I want to tell you

this sometimes the Lord allow those

problem in our lives because he want you

to go back to him he want you to talk to

him he want you to kneel to him to cry

to him for help. He want you to ask for

help. He don't want you to face the

circumstances in your life. He don't

want you to face the problem by your

own. He want you to ask him for help.

You know church,

God want you to put your trust and faith

in him.

I want to ask you this. When was the

last time you bowed you bowed down your

knees to him? When was the last time you

cried

while talking while crying to him? When

was the last time?

When was the last time you said to him

Lord I will going to stop my old

calculation

and I am going out all my trust and

faith and see what you can do in our in

my

you know church when when you learn

again to bow down your knees when you

learn again to cry with conviction and

put your faith and trust to him. You

will amaze how God can turn around your

life. You will experience the great and

mighty things that God can do to your

life if you allow him to maneuver you in

the battle or in your problem.

You will see the perfect plan of God to

our seeming impossible circumstances

in our life.

You know church, David

won to Golth not because of his courage.

Moses won to over Amalecch not because

of his sword skill.

Joshua defeated 31 kings not because of

his strength but because God intervened

and promised him. You know church,

the Lord said to them, "Fear not. Stand

still. The Lord shall fight for you."

though. So church members, brethren,

brother in Christ,

God want us,

God want us to talk to him. Ask for

help. Knock

because he will help you. Let the Lord

God intervene to our lives. Let him manu

over the problem that we can't win.

Because if we look to our hands, the

resources in our hands,

we will might have we will might

discourage because we are lack

resources. But what I've told you, we

have a God, the source and the beginning

of all things, absolut attribute

existing and trinity. He is omniresence,

omnence.

We have a good God. We have a loving

God.

He don't want us to take that problem by

our own. Talk to him.

Brethren, I don't know what you are

facing right now, what you have been

through this past few years, the past

year, but I encourage you to trust him,

to believe on him, and he will give you

step by step because he has a perfect

plan for each and everyone. He has a

perfect plan for me. That's why I am

here standing before you.

I know he has a plan.

He knew exactly he was going to do in

our situation. Like Jesus said, "Make

them men sit down. We will feed them

all."

Jesus know that he can feed them all.

He knows that. He already knew that.

Jesus demonstrate his power which part

of his ultimate goal to clear that I am

God. I am the Messiah. Brethren,

if you have a big problem, listen to

this. If you have a big problem,

remember you have a greater God. You

have a greater God. When the challenge

seems overwhelming, remember you serve a

mighty God.

You serve a living God.

You serve a merciful God, a good God, a

loving God.

And not only that,

thirdly, Jesus will often surprise us by

the way he turn our impossible situation

into things that are possible.

Number three, Jesus will often surprise

us by the way he turn our impossible

situation into things that are

impossible.

He surprised us in a lot of ways.

When Andrew

the chapter in the chapter we were read

when Andrew looking for a food to the

multitude he saw excuse me

he saw a young boy who has a five loaves

and two fishes. Here's the thing and I

believe Andrew bring that boy to Jesus

and asked that boy. And Jesus said to

that boy, "Can I have your lunch?

Can I have your food?

And the young boy said, "Yes, sir.

Yes, Lord."

And it turns his bread and he turned his

bread and fish to Jesus.

And I want you remember this. Don't ever

estimate what God can do to your life

when you are fully surrendered to him.

when you surrender all you have all you

are to him you know church I believe one

of the reason why people discourage

within their lives

in their lives because they're always

asking am I important

am I good enough

why I never accomplish this accomplish

that maybe because you haven't turned

your life yet to Jesus maybe you never

turned um it over to the one who created

you to the one who give it to you the

lives what you have you know church when

God created you surrender it to him to

the one who owned you give it to give it

to the one who want to work with you and

let him reveal to you what he can do and

what he can and he what he will do to

your life you know church but The sad

things many people, many Christians

nowadays

is really selfish.

They used to hold their own grip. They

use um this is because this is they want

this is I want to leave. This is what I

want what I want to leave. This is what

I am going. And their life is their

choice. Their life is their own plan.

But while I'm studying this

um passage, I realize this that God has

the best plan for our lives.

God has a best plan to your life. But

the only way that plans work is for you

to open your hand and give yourself

to the one who owns you. And that's the

Lord Jesus Christ.

surrender your life to him absolutely

and totally and that's the matter

of pure trust and faith to the Lord.

Do you know?

Do you believe that God has a perfect

plan for you? Do we believe that God has

a perfect plan for us? Because I believe

absolutely

he has a perfect plan for me. He has a

perfect plan for all of us. Do you allow

him to man over you to the best plan?

Some people maybe they don't want

because they are talented, they are

gifted, skilled and it's hard for them

to give their lives to the one who

created them. But I tell you this, you

must open yourself for God's plan to see

what God could do to you. And

I just read actually um

I just read uh

the companion of DL Moody. Do you know

DL Moody? He is uh one of the great

evangelists

uh last year and you know there are

three pastor ask him what is the secret

to be to being effective preacher? What

is your secret to be a a better preacher

to be a greater preacher? And Dale Moody

took those three pastors to his hotel

and

um

took them to the window of the hotel and

asked them

on what they saw in that window. One of

the pastor said

he saw a tree and the other one he saw

the children playing in the park. And

one of the pastor, the last pastor, he

saw the man rushing go to their work.

And

this parable interpreted

like a parable about everyone's

has own perspective in life. You know

Delm Moody's perspective. Have you seen

those people playing the park? Have you

seen those people driving a car? If they

don't have

right relationship with God and uh and

when we die without heart relationship

with God they will suffer to hell and

that's the perspective of DL movie and

just like him that's why I am here

standing before you to practice what I

preach to be more effective to share the

gospel

because I want to reach out those lost

souls those that might suffer in hell if

they don't have right relationship with

God. They if they don't accept the Lord

Jesus Christ as their personal savior.

I also have unsaved loved ones, unsafe

friends and I don't want to see them

suffer in hell.

That's why I don't want to save seated

and satisfied while my fellow countrymen

unsaved loved ones dying in bound.

I don't want to see them.

That's why when I go back to the

Philippines,

I proclaim the gospel. I will preach the

gospel because that what God called me

and that what that's what he planned to

my life to proclaim the gospel.

I believe this young boy who turned the

food and the fish the food to Jesus

Christ. I believe that

it's a sign of surrendering to God.

Imagine there's a 5,000 men's not

including the women and the children.

But this kid, he is willing to surrender

the food that he has

to the Lord Jesus Christ because he's

trusting.

Believe in you.

Surrender your life to the one.

Surrender your life to God and you will

see what God can do to you. surrender to

the one who owned you. And lastly,

Jesus will use the circumstances to

teach us, train us, and grow us up in

this life.

What do you think or thinking about what

the disciples saw the miracles of the

Lord Jesus Christ? What do you think

when the people saw the miracles of the

disciples and the Lord Jesus Christ on

the on that day?

I believe it is strengthened their

faith. They saw the power of God. God

demonstrate his power. God demonstrate

his love to his people to feed them all.

God reveals our weakness. But God allow

us to experience those things to teach

us to depend on him

because he is the source and the

beginning of it.

This year

God want us to teach us to rely on him.

This year God want us to be more

dependent on him to our problem. Don't

look on our hands because it causes

discouragement.

But when we look to the God who created

of everything,

everything what we have, everything what

we saw

and believe in him and put your faith in

him.

I believe God will help you to your

seemingly impossible situation. Pastor,

thank you so much once again

to

be a blessing this evening. I hope this

simple message would be encouraged to

each and everyone and I hope and I pray

that

may our this year be more truthful and

be more dependent on God because he is

the source and the beginning of all

things. He's a loving God and merciful

God.
