Fresh Bread 2007 # 018
DON’T GO AWAY
HUNGRY
Matthew 15:30-31
  
MULTITUDES
Multitudes, multitudes, in the Valley of Decision; for the day of the Lord is near in the Valley of Decision.
Joel 3:14
Disclaimer: Dear Ones, please bear with me as I use Hebrew Words from time to time. I don’t know why this is happening, other than it’s our Lord’s way of helping me practice my Hebrew as I bake Fresh Bread. The Hebrew Words just come to me and they seem to fit in with the Xala. (Bread). See, I did it again. Oh well. Hope you enjoy anyway. Love, Gwen.
GREAT MULTITUDES
Jesus Feeds Four Thousand
Lama
למה?
WHY?
My question is Lama, why did the great crowds come to Jesus? No cars, no telephones, simply word of mouth…multitudes were drawn to Him. Lama? Why?
MULTITUDES TODAY
Multitudes gather today in different arenas; some spiritual, some secular (xikonit). Some good, some evil, some just (raq) following the crowd. They all have many things in common, yet the most obvious is that they are hungry and starving for TRUTH.
THERE WAS A TIME
There was a time when I too, was drawn in with the multitudes …hungry, hungry, hungry. But now I have no desire to be pushed, shoved, and jostled by the crows.
LAMA?
Jesus has come to abide with me personally, every day, wherever I am. I no longer have to go looking for Him. He found me and is here to stay. My fellowship with Him each morning is so sweet and satisfying that I am no longer searching for something other than Him and His Word.
And He will do this for anyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah (God incarnate) who came to earth, died for us, rose again, and sits at the right hand of Father God until He returns for us, which is surely soon.
All one has to do is sincerely confess to Him that they know they are sinners and cannot save themselves. In humility they ask Jesus to be their Lord. And He graciously accepts them into His family.
HE WILL NOT
SEND US AWAY
HUNGRY
These words captured my attention this morning in Matthew 15:32, when Jesus said He has compassion on the multitudes and that He would not send them away hungry (fasting), lest they faint in the way.
Please consider the natural and the spiritual here. Have you ever been in a position where you were receiving so much spiritual food that you lost your appetite for the natural? I have. So, the 3 days these people spent listening to our Lord, they were fasting natural food, hardly missing it, but were filled with spiritual food until the appointed time when they must leave to continue in IN THE WAY.
In other words, to go back into their normal lives, taking the “bread” (messages of Jesus) to others. Their natural bodies needed physical bread (lexem); their spiritual bodies needed XALA חלה (spiritual bread) we could say. And with compassion, our Lord supplies all our needs, spiritual and physical, so that we do not faint in the WAY.
HOW TO WORSHIP GOD?
Jesus says in John 4:24, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.” Thus, many things cannot be understood in the natural, but require the Light of His Spirit to reveal constant Truth.
Just as the woman at the well (John 4:25,26) could only BELIEVE Jesus by the Spirit, when she said she was waiting for the Messiah which is called Christ. She said she knew He was coming. But, she didn’t know he had already come until He said to her personally: “I that speak unto thee, am He.”
AKHSHAV
עכשיו
NOW
Now (akhshav) we know (yode’a) יודע that our Messiah has already come and will come again. For now He remains in our hearts. But one day we will see Him face to face and will know Him as He knows us now. AKHSHAV!
(I Corinthians 13:12)
No.
He does not send us away hungry.
And
As we Go
We carry the Bread of Life
