There are of God that show up in Psalm 23
Psalm 23:1-6 (NKJV)
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Genesis 22:13-14 (CSB) 13 Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught in the thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son. 14 And Abraham named that place The Lord Will Provide, so today it is said, “It will be provided on the Lord’s mountain.”
The of the LORD is where God is. It is the place where you .
How often do we want the of God, but we aren’t willing to go to the mountain?
Psalm 121:1-2 (CSB) I lift my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Lift your !
The only miracle other than the Resurrection of Jesus that is recorded in all four Gospels.
To understand , you must understand the .
Matthew 14:13 (CSB) When Jesus heard about it, he withdrew from there by boat to a remote place to be alone. When the crowds heard this, they followed him on foot from the towns.
Jesus could have told the crowd that came to Him for healing, “”.
Jesus was , tired, , and surrounded by His disciples who were feeling the same struggle.
But Jesus wouldn’t do that.
Jesus took the to teach His disciples what you do when a multitude .
Jesus was teaching His disciples that their could reside in the multitude. If you the multitude you may miss out on your miracle.
What do you do when you are confronted with a multitude?
What is your multitude?
You didn’t find the , the you.
Matthew 14:14 (CSB) When he went ashore, he saw a large crowd, had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
“He ” means that He saw with His not His .
- The disciples saw a , and Jesus saw His .
- The disciples saw a , and Jesus saw a .
- The disciples saw a , and Jesus saw who needed His .
- The disciples saw an , and Jesus saw an .
is just a series of multitudes that finds you… what are you going to do ?
John 6:5 (CSB) So when Jesus looked up and noticed a huge crowd coming toward him, he asked Philip, “Where will we buy bread so that these people can eat?”
, hold that thought… Let Me show you.
Mark 6:34 (CSB) When he went ashore, he saw a large crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. Then he began to teach them many things.
Oh … I’ve been out here , , and doing all day.
Mark 6:35-37 (CSB) When it grew late, his disciples approached him and said, “This place is deserted, and it is already late. 36 Send them away so that they can go into the surrounding countryside and villages to buy themselves something to eat.” 37 “You give them something to eat,” he responded. They said to him, “Should we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
The disciples are watching Jesus and they decide they want to handle the problem .
“You want to send the problem to the because it seems to have more there, seems there, and I won’t have to take there. So send it to the and let the deal with it.”
We like to shift the responsibility to the because we don’t think we have the … and Jesus is saying “!”
John 6:5-6 (CSB) So when Jesus looked up and noticed a huge crowd coming toward him, he asked Philip, “Where will we buy bread so that these people can eat?” 6 He asked this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do.
Jesus will you even when He what He is going to do with your “not enough”.
Jesus knows your miracle resides directly in your “”, and the very thing you are trying to send away, Jesus wants to .
Have you ever had a that won’t go away?
Matthew 14:16 (CSB) “They don’t need to go away,” Jesus told them. “You give them something to eat.”
It’s not going anywhere because God wants you to take and stop .
Jesus is telling you, “ sending away what I you to.”
I know you don’t feel like you have the .
I know you don’t feel like you don’t have the .
I know you don’t feel to do it…
AND !
It is too much. The problem is a multitude and you cannot it.
Matthew 14:17 (CSB) “But we only have five loaves and two fish here,”
We just don’t have it… There’s no way to handle what is in front of me, so is it in front of me?
He .
you don’t have enough.
1 Corinthians 1:27-29 (CSB) God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. 28 God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world—what is viewed as nothing—to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, 29 so that no one may boast in his presence.
This is why He called 12 men to go the world.
You’ve been telling God “It’s too much, and way too big.”
Your is your .
isn’t just you thinking too high of yourself. is you thinking too low of yourself. is thinking about yourself, and you’ve allowed yourself to get of what God has called you to do.
We are so prideful that we will Jesus the two fish and the five loaves, but we won’t Jesus the two fish and the five loaves.
Matthew 14:18 (CSB) “Bring them here to me,”
Jesus is waiting for you to give Him your “” and let Him turn it into “”.
How do you know when you’ve given it to Jesus?
You are no longer by it or by the of it.
Adders VS Multipliers
Jesus likes math but doesn’t deal in … only .
Many of us are adding things up, and things add up.
3+3=6 | 3×3=9
5+5=10 | 5×5=25
10+10=20 | 10×10=100
It can the same but it’s the same in the hands of a !
If you give it to Jesus, He can it to a capacity that you didn’t think you had.
Matthew 14:19 (CSB) Then he commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them. He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
The times we don’t see the blessing of overflow is when we about the two fish and the five loaves, instead of them to Jesus and asking Him to the two fish and the five loaves.
At this point the disciples are , and Jesus has them out feeding everyone.
The principle of “ and it will be given back to you.”
Luke 6:38 (CSB) Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over—will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
Jesus had His disciples while they were still .
Jesus wanted His disciples to know that when He multiplies, He .
Matthew 14:20 (CSB) Everyone ate and was satisfied. They picked up twelve baskets full of leftover pieces.
Why were there 12 baskets? Because there were .
The principle of overflow:
If the disciples don’t feed the multitude… they also have .
Are you willing to give when a multitude you?
I may not have enough.
But in the of it is .
He is Jehovah-Jireh.
In , I have what I .
