Who Said?

Who told you there is not enough to go around? Who taught you to believe in lack rather than abundance? Who said if you give it away it won’t come back to you? Who said? Who told you? It wasn’t the word of God; it wasn’t Jesus; so who said, who told you?

People have a lack mentality individually, corporately and nationally. It is this idea there is not enough to go around, who said? No seriously, who said? The climate change narrative? The 24 hour news? Some book, some man or woman wrote? Some podcast, YouTube/Rumble video you watched? Some X thread you read? Who said? Who told you?

The reason I am asking this question is because I was reading John 6 this morning and the Holy Spirit hovered over verses 11-12 which say, “Jesus then took the barley loaves and the fish and gave thanks to God. He then gave it to the disciples to distribute to the people. Miraculously, the food multiplied, with everyone eating as much as they wanted! When everyone was satisfied, Jesus told his disciples, Now go back and gather up the pieces left over so that nothing will be wasted.”

It was the Feast of Passover, which is a barley feast, of which all males of Israel were required to attend and to bring an offering with them. Here is a young boy with five barley loaves and two fish in a crowd of 5,000. The disciples take his food (lunch/offering/both we don’t know what he was doing with these supplies) and give it to Jesus, who gives thanks, gives it back to the disciples, who give it to the crowd, and then who gather up 12 basketfuls as leftovers. Friends, there is no lack in the kingdom of God.

We call ourselves believers, but we must start asking ourselves who do we believe? That is why I said who said? We need to repent of believing the reports of people over the words of God. Our God is abundance, there is no lack, not now, not then, not ever. He never runs out. So, it is time to repent of believing the lies of men who say there is not enough and start believing our God who says, there is more than enough for everyone to be satisfied and we will even have leftovers in the kingdom of God!
