<TITLE>07. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 Young John must've said, "Well, today has been the day that settled it forever for me. I have been a believer since I was a baby. I can remember of my precious old mother reading the Bible stories to me, and how she told me that when our people come across out of the lands of Egypt, was brought up into this country that we inherited by God. She used to tell me stories of how great Jehovah was. And how He cared for His people. And how I used to lay and look up into her pretty face, and she'd say to me, 'John, all beyond the stars yonder, there's a great God that loves His people. Don't forget it, my son.' And then she told me that when God, Jehovah had called His children up out of Egypt, that He provides for those who take a step to walk in His commandments. And they were following Jehovah out of Egypt. And they got out into the desert and they run out of bread. They didn't have no bread to eat. And Jehovah brought bread down out of the skies and laid it on the ground. And the next morning the only thing they had to do was go pick it up and eat the bread."

L-23 "And I used to say to my mommy," he might've said. "Mommy, perhaps, God's got a great bunch of ovens up there in heaven and a whole lot of Angels that work overtime. And they would bake all this bread. And then the Angels would get big baskets, and run down, and lay it all around the camp."
She said, "No, son. You're too young to understand. But you see son, Jehovah is a Creator. He just created that bread. He don't have to have ovens to bake it. He just created that bread. And it fell upon the ground."
And oh, John might've said, "That always stayed with my heart, how that Jehovah could create bread and send it down on the earth already cooked. Brethren, I want to make my confession in this testimony tonight here on this boat, that I know that we're not following some false prophet. We're not following some impostor. For when I saw Him today take those little loaves, five loaves and two little fishes, and break that bread and feed five thousand people, I knowed that was God."

L-24 "That settled it for me because He did the works of God. Do you remember, brethren, He said once before to us, 'If I do not the works of My Father, then believe Me not.' But what did He do brethren?"
I want to ask this congregation, "What--what kind of an atom did He turn loose?" Took those little biscuits and broke five of those and fed five thousand people, not growed wheat and... He does it all to... Sure. But He bypassed all the routines of nature. Not only did He grow wheat there, He growed bread, not only bread but baked bread already seasoned and ready to eat.
That's our God. Fishes, why He put every fish in the water. But He took these fishes and broke them, not just raised up another fish out of the water, but broke a fish and went back and took... Another piece growed on while He was breaking that one, a fried fish, already seasoned, rolled in cornmeal and fried, ready to eat."
How did He do it? What kind of an atom would the science say today that He turned loose there?

L-25 And I can hear John say, "Brethren, it was so astounding to me till I--I climbed up behind the rock, and looked, and seen where He was--I could find where He was getting it from. But He just took the bread, and held it out, and broke a piece, and laid it on Andrew's basket, and reached back, and there was another piece ready when He reached His hand for it. So that proves it to me that He's God. He's Jehovah."
"Only Jehovah of the Old Testament could create bread and here--to feed hungry people. And here that Jehovah is manifested. And I know that that is the Son of God: could only be. He's associated with God somewhere, because He done the same things God did."
