you don’t need more you just need god’s

blessing on what you’ve already got

you don’t need more you just need god’s

blessing on your five and two girl

that’s all you need

you know what his blessing is it’s his

favor

y’all favor is what makes the scales

balance over in your favor

favor is what makes things a little bit

unfair on your behalf

favor is what opens doors that nobody

can shut

favor is what puts you in positions that

nobody can take away

favor is what sets you before kings and

queens

the favor of god is what you want on

your life

i came to tell somebody who’s got a

multitude pressing on you

in your marriage or in your finances or

in your health or in your parenting or

in your singleness

that thing is weighing down on you that

means that there is a drawer waiting to

be opened

that means there’s some treasure waiting

to be unveiled

and when you take it out finally when

you stop ignoring it when you stop

circumventing it when you stop acting

like god hasn’t given you everything you

need

when you will finally recognize this

little bit this little gifting this

little talent this little time

this little money this little dream this

little vision that this is all i need if

i’ll just pull it out

and entrust it to the hands of a

multiply master

can i just show you real quick what the

disciples did

just real quick because i think it’s

interesting because it’s so us

they said to jesus in verse 12 send the

multitude away

[Applause]

and here’s the thing that’s so us see we

don’t just say it

we pray it

we pray away what we don’t even

recognize is the gift he has

given us to press us into opening up our

drawer

so if you pray for your multitude to be

taken away

and in god’s sovereignty he has left it

in your life

that means there’s a drawer there’s a

drawer stop start looking for a drawer

if there’s a multitude that means

there’s loaves and fish somewhere

in your life that is supposed to be

entrusted into the hands of god

so we pray away did you realize in verse

12

they are wishing away what in verse 11

jesus

welcomed jesus welcomed

what they’re wishing away so the

disciples say

get get this multitude away

they don’t even know they’re praying

away their miracle

everybody wants to see the red sea

divide but nobody wants to be the one

that comes face to face with a red sea

everybody wants to see the walls of

jericho come tumbling down but nobody

wants to be the one who has to walk

around those walls

in obedience to god to trust him to

shout

prior to seeing one brick fall

if there is a multitude that means there

is a miracle

okay so praise the multitude or they ask

for the multitude to

go away and jesus he doesn’t go for that

so when he doesn’t they he doesn’t go

for that the disciples have another

solution

this is us too send the multitude away

jesus says

and they say well send us

away then

you see it they said send us to the

surrounding towns and villages so that

we can go

and buy more accumulate more

get more because as we are is not

sufficient

so send us somewhere else so we can get

better and be better suited to this

multitude because

as we are is not enough it has always

been the tactic of the enemy

to get us to think that we are not

enough as we currently are

that what we currently have is not

sufficient for the task that is before

us

but if the lord has allowed that

multitude into your experience that

means that as you currently are with the

entrusted treasure the power the

authority that he has given to you

you’ve got everything you need if you

just pull out what he already

has entrusted to you in fact

in mark chapter six our layer of

chocolate cake we find out that he says

to the disciples

well what do you have he asked them that

question

he says what do you have and then he

doesn’t even give him a chance to answer

he just immediately responds and says

go and look he said it like that

go and look

he said it like you would tell your kid

if the month i mean

the week after christmas they came to

you and said mom i’m bored

you would say well what do you have

and then before you gave them a chance

to respond because you could already

tell that the response they was going to

give you

was going to get them in trouble

[Applause]

so you didn’t even give them a chance

you just say you would say to them

go and look because if you’ll just look

you’ll see that the thing you’re

complaining about is something you

already have access to

if you will go and look moses you will

see that everything you need to do what

i’ve called you to do it’s in your hand

it’s that rod that common rod

that has always been right beside you

but now i’m gonna infuse it with my

power if i can just get you to go and

look moses

pick the stick up put it over the red

sea you will see that it will make the

red sea

divide like a solid wall go and look

david yes

goliath is right there but if you’ll go

look down by the stream

i’ve already provided five smooth stones

that will be everything you need

to take that giant down go and look

spend

all of the energy that you’re spending

complaining spend that energy going to

look for what god has already given us

access to

so they pulled it out all right jesus

you’re gonna do something with this

they say okay here you go

and they put it in his hands

everything changes when you put your

five and two in the hands of jesus

everything changes when you stop

speaking negatively about it and just

trust it into the hands of g when you

just take that little dream

that he has entrusted to you and you

give it back to him and you say don’t

look like much right now

but i’m putting it in your hands and the

great thing about our god verse 16

says is that he took the meager gifts of

man

he didn’t look at their little bit and

say come back when you’ve got more uh

a holy divine almighty powerful god

a god who does not need us or our loaves

and fish

when man gave it to him he received it

and looking up to heaven

he blessed it y’all

you don’t need more you just need god’s

blessing on what you’ve already got

you don’t need more you just need god’s

blessing on your five and two

girl that’s all you need you know what

his blessing is

it’s his favor y’all favor is what

makes the scales balance over in your

favor

favor is what makes things a little bit

unfair on your

behalf favor is what opens doors that

nobody can shut

favor is what puts you in positions that

nobody can take away

favor is what sets you before kings and

queens

the favor of god is what you want on

your life

on your five and two looking up to

heaven he blessed it

then he broke it and he kept giving it

to the disciples

[Music]

and it kept going and it kept going and

the 12

didn’t understand how the little bit

they had they had in the beginning

had become so much

and their entire multitude

the whole burden was satisfied

and when everybody was satisfied oh

somebody say satisfied

oh victoria i wish we had time tonight

girl

satisfied this is not some you know

happy meal sort of situation here

this is not a number one on the burger

king drive-thru this

is sunday afternoon i’m talking about

old school sunday

where your mom started to cook on

saturday night and the yeast rolls were

rising

and the macaroni and cheese was bubbling

and the sweet potatoes were all

gooey on the stove and and every the

sweet tea was going the roast you know

she started the roast on 200

the night before and let it simmer all

night long y’all are getting hungry

aren’t you i know

listen do you remember how when you came

home from church the next day

you ate that and the only thing you

could do after that was

that’s all you could do that’s why jesus

said go ahead and have the people

recline

have them get in a posture of

expectation

that i’m getting ready to do exceedingly

abundantly above and beyond

anything that they can ask or think

satisfied sunday afternoon

kind of satisfied

that’s what he does

and they were so satisfied y’all don’t

even sit down just stay standing listen

they were so satisfied this is how you

know how good the meal was

there was leftovers

[Applause]

they started going around picking up the

leftovers y’all and guess what

there were 12 baskets full

one basket for each disciple

to take home as an overflow

of the grace and the blessing of god

i want to pray for any of you who are in

this room and you’ve got a multitude

weighing on you

you gotta i mean that thing is burdening

you down and you’ve never considered the

fact

that you’ve already got what you need

you’ve been thinking this is not enough

gifting this is not enough talent it’s

not enough money it’s not enough time i

don’t have enough and jesus is

whispering in your ear tonight
