<TITLE>06. Par 16-17</TITLE>L-16 "And you know today, when I seen Him take those five fish, or five loaves and two little fishes and feed five thousand people, I knowed that had to be Jehovah. I know no one else could do that. And, brethren, I crawled up close to that rock, when I seen that little boy, that we--followed us down there this morning, had been playing truant from the school, him and his little sister. And he had this lunch under his arm. And when I saw Peter there ask him about that lunch, when everybody was hungry... And it was given over into the hands of our Lord, I thought of how it was just enough food in there to feed that one little boy his dinner. But when it was in the hands of Jesus, it could feed five thousand and take up several basket's full of pieces."
How God can multiply what we put in His hand. In our hands it's not much. In His hands He multiplies it by the thousands. If we can only let Him have what little we have: Our time, our attention, our faith, may not be too much.
Like our sister sitting here, one holding crutch and another setting in a wheelchair, and a precious man setting looking at me there, with a crutch and a wheelchair. Might not be... Little faith you have may not be very much, but if you could only get once into the hands of Christ, what He could do with it.
The wheelchairs would be pushed up against the wall. Be going down the streets tomorrow praising God, thanking God. Many setting here dying with heart trouble, cancer, whatever it might be, in a few days from now you might go back to your doctor, and he'd say, "Say, what's happened here?" What is it? What little you had, you gave it to the hands of Christ and He begin to multiply it. The cancer begin to leave; the heart begin to go back to its right place and beat right again. Just let Him have it in His hand.

L-17 He said, "When I saw Him take those five biscuits and--and two fishes and break them, I climbed up on the rock and looked over to see how He did it. And I'd see that piece of fish in His hand. He'd break it off and lay it over here. And when He reached back again, there would be another fish there, not only a fish in the water, but a fish already raised, and cooked, and ready to go, ready to eat. And when I saw Him break that little loaf of bread in two, lay it out here, but when He reached back again, there was another loaf ready to be broken off again."
Oh, how He could grow bread. I want to ask if there'd be a scientist here: "What kind of a atom did He turn loose at that time, to make the regular wheat, of course? It was the same one He turned loose when He turned the water into wine.
He's God. He does what He wants to. And He's willing to do all things and give us exceedingly, abundantly, more than we could even think if we will just let ourselves be turned loose in the faith in Him. That's where it lays: is having faith in Him to believe that He can. For all things are possible to them that believe, no matter what it is, it's possible; and not only possible, probable, and will happen, if you'll just believe it.
