John 6<\/span><\/p>\n

A day without God\u2019s word is like a day without physical food.\u00a0\u00a0You become spiritually weak and your mind is not functioning on spiritual things.\u00a0\u00a0You cannot live off of what you ate last week, nor can you be spiritually strong by thinking about what you ate last week.\u00a0\u00a0Keep reading and growing in the ways of God.\u00a0\u00a0I know you can do it; God gives us the power to accomplish spiritual tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

What can God do with the little we have?\u00a0\u00a0He can multiply it.\u00a0\u00a0The Disciples needed 8 months of pay & two hundred denari, to feed this crowd of over 5,000 people.\u00a0\u00a0Jesus fed them all out of the little that they had.\u00a0\u00a0When you\u2019re trusting God, and following Him, you always have enough.\u00a0\u00a0God will supply.<\/span><\/p>\n

Verse 16 – Jesus walks on the water to the troubled disciples.<\/span>\u00a0Remember when you see no way out, Jesus can make a way for you.\u00a0Jesus can also transport you to where you need to be.\u00a0\u00a0Look at verse 21\u2026 immediately they were at land.\u00a0\u00a0In your darkest times, Jesus is coming, and will immediately get you to dry land.\u00a0\u00a0Jesus places your feet on solid ground.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look at verse 27, Labor for God, because God has placed His seal on you! The Spirit of God seals us unto the day of redemption.\u00a0\u00a0And that is a visible seal to the spiritual world that you are God\u2019s child.\u00a0\u00a0Right now as you read the Scriptures you are feeding on the Word of God.\u00a0You are satisfying your soul, as you take in Christ and His Word.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Verses 53-60 should be taken as an analogy, speaking of taking Christ\u2019s flesh and blood spiritually.\u00a0\u00a0Christ never spoke to keep disciples, He would be a terrible church planter.\u00a0\u00a0Christ spoke truth and demanded people to follow the truth.\u00a0\u00a0In verse 66, many walked with Christ no more.\u00a0\u00a0Are you trying to fit Christ into your life, or have you turned your life over and let everything be about Christ?\u00a0\u00a0This is the only way Christianity works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Peter gives the key to following Christ in verses 68 and 70.\u00a0\u00a0Jesus has the words of eternal life &\u00a0without\u00a0\u00a0Christ\u00a0you will not have eternal life. And secondly, Jesus is The Christ, the Son of the living God.\u00a0\u00a0If you truly believe that you will have no choice but to follow Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

I pray you will abandon all for Christ, and see Him multiply your life for His kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep reading,\u00a0God is changing you into His sanctified servant for His glory.<\/span><\/p>\n
