<TITLE>12. Par 49-53</TITLE>L-49 "She'd tell me about Joshua, when he brought the children of Israel just a little below the ford there, out of the wilderness, and crossed right in the month of April when the Jordan was swelling. And way up in the headwaters God held the water, and they walked right across on dry land. And all of the stories..."
"And one used to interest me so much was that one she used to tell me about our people coming up out of Egypt, of coming to our homeland that God had given us, and about how God cared for them as they left Egypt and started on to the promised land; how God promised to provide everything they had need of; and how that every night God would send down manna, bread, out of heaven and lay all over the ground. And the next morning only thing our people had to do was go out and pick up this bread, and eat it, and live through the day."

L-50 "And it used to amaze me as a little boy," he might've said. "I'd turn over and say to Mother, 'Mother, how did God get that bread? Has He got all the heavens is full of big ovens, and He's got a night crew up there working, and He bakes this bread and sends the Angels down and places it all over the ground for His children?'"
"She said, 'No, John, my little boy. You don't understand. You're too young yet. God doesn't have to have ovens. God is a Creator. He just creates the bread right out of the air, and it drops upon the earth. There is how He feeds His people.'"
"And brethren, today when I saw Him take those five biscuits and two fish, and fed five thousand people, I knowed He had to have some connection with that Jehovah, because He had created bread. I knowed that that had to be the same Creator Who created all that bread in the wilderness. When that little boy that had played hooky from school, and give us his lunch..."

L-51 Now, that little boy... I want to say something to these little boys. You see, that little boy had a little lunch. It wasn't nothing but just five little biscuits and two little fishes. Now, as long as the little boy had it in his hand, it didn't mean nothing, just enough to feed himself. But when he give that little bit he had over to Jesus, look what it done. Now, we may have just a little bit. It isn't very much to us, but if we'll just let Jesus have it, what He will do with that. He fed five thousand people.

L-52 I can hear young John say, "You know what I did? I climbed up behind the rock, and I saw Him when He took that biscuit and broke it off and laid it over into the tray. And I watched every move right over His shoulder. And when He reached His hand back, when He started back, there was only a half a biscuit. But the time He went to put His hand on it, there was a whole biscuit. And He tore it off and laid it down again."
I want to ask you, brethren, what kind of an atom did He let loose there? Not wheat to be grown and made in eventually bread, but it was already bread baked; not a fish that had to be killed and then fried, but already fried and ready. What did He do?
Goes to show if--if we're willing to turn loose what little we have to Him... Just take what faith you had to come over here with tonight, and lay it in His hand and claim your healing, and go out with it. See? Watch what takes place.

L-53 And said, "When I watched that, I was thoroughly convinced that that was Jehovah. And when I looked at Him as He stood there, not a bit excited no matter what was going on, just as calm as He could be, breaking that... He even looked like Jehovah to me as He stood there breaking that bread and passing it out to those hungry people." He said, "Now, to me it's settled forever that that is Jehovah. And He is not a merely a man; He's not merely a prophet, He's the Son of God. He's the Tabernacle in which Jehovah is dwelling in, because He created this bread."
