<TITLE>09. Par 32-34</TITLE>L-32 And so then the first thing you know, he said, "My mother told me a story every day. She'd tell me, 'John, right down the river here a little piece, in the month of April, Joshua, that great warrior, spoke to God, and God walled up the river, and Israel come across when the Jordan was in a flood--on dry land.'"
"'And when he come across, he met the Chief Captain of the host of the Lord at the gate of Jericho. And how that in the wilderness, how God brought our people out.'"
"'Now, John don't you never forget. God, by a prophet, Moses, under a big Pillar of Fire, led our people out to this promised land. And you know, John, my little boy...'"
And said, "I would look up in the face of my mother, and she said, 'John, you know, God told our people, "You don't have to bring anything to eat. I'm going to feed you while you're in the wilderness." And He brought bread down every night and laid it all nice out on the ground. And the next morning, all our people had to do was go out and pick up that bread and eat it.'"
And he'd say, "You know what I said to my mother? 'Mother, God did what? Who was that brought that bread down?'"
"'God. He brought the bread down, and laid it out so our people could eat, and brought it down every night for them.'"
"And I remember, brethren," he'd say to the rest of them, "I remember I used to say to my mother, 'Mother, has God got a great big line of ovens up there and a whole lot of Angels working at nighttime? And He puts all the bread in the ovens, and He bakes it, and then runs down and spreads it out on the ground?'"
"She said, 'No, John. You're just a little boy. You don't understand. See, God is a Creator, and God don't have to have ovens. He just speaks, and He created the bread.'"

L-33 Then he said, "Brethren, today, when I saw Him take those two little fish and five biscuits, little bread, and break that bread and feed five thousand, I knowed that was the same Jehovah that fed our people. And here He is feeding them yet today. There's no question in my mind, but what...
"Look how He looked, on His face. He wasn't excited a bit. He knew exactly what to do. You remember, He told us He did what the Father showed Him. And there He stood, when hundreds and five thousand men and women and children, hungry, gone all day with no food, through the dust, just to hear a Word or two from His precious lips."
"Tired, He set upon the rock, and a little boy played hooky from school (you know, truant), and went fishing. And he heard Jesus, and he came by. He's the one had the lunch."

L-34 Now, listen, little boys, little Indians, and white people, whatever you are: you see, that little boy had just five little biscuits and two pieces of fish. It wasn't very much to him as long as it was in his hand. But when he gave what little he had to Jesus, it fed five thousand. See, we don't have very much, but what little we have, if we'll just give it to Him, He will multiply it (See?), and make it do great things.
What little faith you've got, lay it on Him and say, "Here's all I've got, Lord, but I'm going to believe with that." Watch what He will do with it. Just watch what happens. Stay right with it. Watch Him bring you around through every curve, and bring you right straight to the promise where He made it. Yes, He knows the way. Now.
