Speaking to Challenges

ChallengesFutureWe must speak prophetically to challenges. The sons and daughters of God must have a mindset that is prophetic. The prophetic mind thinks on the same scale that God Almighty thinks on. God does not speak “ant” language; He speaks “giant” language. Jesus was thinking, “We can feed these 5,000 people.” (Jn.6) Someone had to be available to go with what Jesus already knew He would do. Jesus already knows what He will do in our families, churches, cities and nation. He is looking for prophetic capacity for the purpose of prophetic declaration and participation.

There Will be Bread

BasketOfBread
The question Jesus asked Philip is worthy of note. Jn.6:5—“Where shall we buy bread…?” He did not ask, “Can we buy bread?” or “Is it possible to get hold of some bread?” There will be bread and the only question at this point is, “Where is the bread going to come from?” Jn.6:6—“And He said this to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.” Jesus was not in a quandary wondering what might could be done. “He Himself knew what He would do” and knew the outcome. But He was wanting disciples who would participate in the miracle. In this context, Jesus was not looking for the speaking of words but for action.

The Straw That Breaks The Back

The Straw That Breaks The Back

The prodigal got what he desired which was based upon his appetite, based upon what his aspirations could grasp. Those desires were nowhere near based upon the wisdom of His father. Our heavenly Father is too wise to act irrationally and too compassionate to be cruel. He continually measures us and will not put on us more than we are capable of bearing (compare Jn 6:5-6). He is never the one to lay on the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back.
