What Will You Do With Your Little Lunch — Heidi Baker

Welcome to another powerful message from Heidi Baker. It's our hope that you will be encouraged and inspired to a closer, more fruitful walk with Jesus.

A message God put on my heart when I was praying about what to share today. And I was thinking about, you know, where we are and who you are. And you are the cream of the crop, aren't you? You really are.

That's awesome. But you are the little jars of clay, too. When you look at the world, and you look at poverty, and you look at pain, and you look at suffering, and you look at the darkness, then when you look at yourself, you kind of go, oh God.

It's really quite pitiful. We really are just quite pitiful, aren't we? We're ridiculous. But there's something that happens when a spirit of adoption takes place, where God takes our little lives that are these little jars of clay, and he breathes life into us, and things happen.

So I felt like telling a story about a little boy who looked very insignificant, and maybe sharing a little bit of our story as well. When I think about our lives, and we're, whoa! Some of you wonder what that is.

I just get touched by the Holy Spirit. I like it. I could maybe try to resist it, but I don't want to. Whoa! So just to explain what's going on. I contend for this. I contend to be undone all the time.

There was this little kid who made a difference, and he was a little kid that didn't look like he could make a difference. And when I look at this room, even though I know who you are, I still look at you and go, you know, hello.

Are they really going to change the world? Are they really going to shake nations? And if I look in the natural, I could say, it's not looking good. But if I look in the supernatural realm, and I look at you, and I look at Jesus in you, then I could say, yes.

God could just find one in this room, one who's willing to give his life, one who's willing to give herself fully to him. And what God could do through one little life laid down, one little life who understands the spirit of adoption, who understands that they have an inheritance in the kingdom of God.

They know who they are. They stay as humble little lives, humble little lovers like Jesus, the son of God who gave up everything. Ha! Think about him. He knew who he was, and he walked around barefoot loving the poor.

Surely he could have come here to university. I imagine he had the ability, the intellectual capacity. He gave himself for love. God's looking for those who have the ability and who have the capacity to give themselves for love.

Mission, Love, and Service to the Poor

One day, Roland and I, we were in the U .K., and we were actually studying, and he said, look at that poster. Remember that? It said, middle-aged, going nowhere. What else? Depressed. Have you considered mission?

Future. And no ability, and no education, and no possibility to do anything else. Have you considered mission? A lot of times people think that those who give themselves away for the poor, the broken, are those who cannot do anything else.

Those who can't possibly make it anywhere else, that's why they go. Because they're a bit messed up anyway, and a bit off, so they just go off in to hide themselves in some other nation. But I believe that God's looking for lovers who can do anything on the planet.

I'm believing that in this room there are going to be some lovers who give themselves for love, for the poorest of the poor, for the dying, for the sick, for the broken, for the lost. And watch what God's going to do.

It's just the best thing ever. Some people think it's a sacrifice, and you give your life away, and it's miserable. I love what I get to do. I love it, I love it, I love it. I can't believe I get to do what I do.

Jesus Feeds the Multitude in John 6

Here's a little guy. Listen to this story. John 6. Sometimes after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee, and a great crowd of people, ha, followed him. Why? We understand this. Great crowds follow us around Africa because they're hungry or sick.

So we really understand this scripture. They follow you day and night. They need stuff. They're hungry or they're sick. So in this story, there was this great multitude, and they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick.

Ha! I love that. We see miracles every day. Do you want to hear about some? Just one little miracle we have. It doesn't happen every single time in the rest of the world, but in Mozambique it happens every time for Mozambicans.

I don't know if foreigners start coming for that anointing, but it's fun. Every single week, we go to the bush bush, double bush, meaning bush bush, very bush, and we just hang out with the poor and call the deaf to come.

So the deaf come, and you have to call really loudly. They can't hear you. And you say, Come on, come on. They can't hear. And so then we say, I know it's 8 o 'clock at night, so they're all asleep, but go wake them up.

And we literally say, Go wake them up. And we've got this fabulous prayer team, kind of like this group. We know who we are. We know we're sons and daughters, but we know we're ragtag little mob. Okay?

We're just being honest. And that's who we are. And these little kids come with us. They're like 6, 10, 12. They've been thrown out of the garbage, just thrown out to die, or they've been just tossed out.

And now they're the prayer team. They're the evangelists. They're the powerful ones. They're 8, 10, 12 years old. And we just call the deaf. And it doesn't matter if I pray or Paulina or Nash, though.

It doesn't make a bit of difference, any of us. We just spit on our fingers, stick them in their ears, and they open. Every single week. It could be an 8-year-old doing it. It could be a 10-year-old.

It could be me. It could just be any of us out there. And then the village, who are all syncretistic Muslims, they all get saved. They all want Jesus. It's just so easy that it's sad to think that some people think it's difficult, you know, or that we're having a really rough time out there.

No, it's easy. Your world's difficult. Our world's easy. We know the difference. But we believe that God's big enough to break into your world. Why not? He's God. Why do we put God in the little box? God can break in in the bush bush, but God can't break in here.

Who decided to make God in their image? God can break in in a complex world, and God can break in in a simple world, because God knows who He is, and He's not afraid of being Him. He breaks in. So here He is breaking in in this world.

They're sick, and so they come, and they follow Jesus. And Jesus looks up, and He sees this great crowd coming towards Him, and He said to Philip, Where should we buy bread for all these people to eat?

And He asked this only to test him, for He already knew what He was about to do. Where are we going to buy food for these people? Look at your city. There are people starving all over the place. They don't even know they're hungry, but they're starving.

How are you going to feed them? Who are you anyway? Who are you, and what can you do? If you don't have eyes to see, you won't even want to do anything. But if you start to see poverty, whether it be in disguise, or whether it be flat out in the open like our poverty, your poverty, people are depressed, and sad, and broken, and miserable, and lacking love.

And that kind of poverty is greater than the kind of poverty we deal with at times. But I'm telling you, Jesus wants you to be His hands extended. But if you think of it with your mind, you can't do anything.

The situation is beyond impossible. Well, I remember, I like to tell stories. Do you like to hear stories? Is that okay? I mean, I'm not going to do a lecture, you know. I'm just talking. I just want to talk to you for a little bit.

With a few of those thrown in. Anyway, I'm thinking of a situation that was really very scary in the year 2000. We had $27 in the bank. We put our money and dollars there. We had already bought food for the week, so we were pretty much prepared until these massive floods hit.

The reason I'm telling you this story is we just had some more floods. And this little team you're sending out from your church, I'm sending them straight to the floods. They didn't know until now, but there they go.

That's where they're needed, in the flood zones. So we had this $27, and we weren't afraid because we live on the edge. And the Lord said to me, feed 5 ,000 people every day. And I said, cool. And then he said, call the government.

Not so cool. Because I don't know how to call the government and commit to feeding 5 ,000 people with $27 in the bank. See, that's the way you think when you think with a natural mind. Phillip here, he's concerned about the finances.

A lot of people in the Western world are always bugged about money, worried about how they're going to get it, how they're going to create it, how they're going to get it, how they're going to keep it, how much of it they have to part with, always worried about finance.

But in the kingdom, you don't think that way. You just think, God, oh, God, take my little lunch. Here it is. But he was saying, we can do it. We can do it. It's impossible. Even if we had eight months' wages, we couldn't even buy a little tiny bit of food.

So that was our situation. God said, feed 5 ,000 people. And you know the synoptic, she's going to keep opening it. I was being very odd for someone who studied theology. I was being totally bizarre. And I'm just like, opening the book again, another confirmation.

There it is again. Feed the 5 ,000. Boom. Open 5 ,000. Boom. Three times I said, okay. Yes, God. All right. I called the government. Then I called Roland and the staff after I called the government. And I said, we'll feed 5 ,000 a day.

And do you know what God did? He totally, miraculously provided every single day of the flood. 5 ,000 we fed for about a month. The next day this money came and it actually came from UK. Another day we were told to feed 10 ,000 people.

And we bought all the food we could buy in the city, and we didn't have enough. We never had enough physically, never enough. But we would pray. And I had this vision that changed my life. Do you want to hear it?

It totally changed me. I'm odd because of this. I admit to being odd. I admit to being odd. I told you last night they told me I went off my trolley. And it's true. I'm totally off of it. I'm living in another world.

I'm off my trolley. I lost my mind totally. I admit to that. To being off. To having a different mind because I got his mind. And his mind is different than my mind. My mind was way too small. And his mind, he thinks in a different way.

And I got his mind. And now I think in a different way too. One time we were supposed to go out. And it was such a great story. And I really should say it later if I was following the Scripture correctly.

But I just feel like telling it to you now. Because I could have another one in a few minutes. This story is 1 ,000 people. We had bread for 1 ,000 people. And we had to go to a camp called Camp 2000.

Camp dos Mil. Well, Camp dos Mil, as the Bible, they counted only the men. So Camp dos Mil had 2 ,000 men plus wives and children. Well, I love doing this with Westerners, foreigners. I love it. Because they don't believe always.

So it's so much fun to watch them get their minds blown. I say, all right, what do you want to do here? And I'm a rascal and I read the book. Now, in the book, Jesus said to Philip, what are you going to do?

And Philip said, I mean, it's not looking good. We don't have the money. Western church is always saying that. We don't have the money. You know, let's get a budget. Oh, hang the budget. Look at Jesus.

You know, Jesus is alive. So in this story, Jesus is alive and Jesus does something. Well, in my story, Jesus is alive and Jesus does something. Because I have my story. You have your story. You have your story.

We need a story to tell. We need a God story. We can't survive without a God story. We need a God story. We need to have our own God story. So I'm stuck on the floor in some church. And I don't want to hear about feeding any more people.

Because at the moment, 320 children called me mama and I was tired. I was just tired. If you had 320 kids, you'd be tired. I was tired. I'm just tired. Physically exhausted. And I didn't feel like taking any more children.

I thought that was quite enough. Thank you very much. Bless God. I was tired. I wanted to ditch everything and work at Kmart, which is a low-end retail store in America. Because I figured I wouldn't have to brush my hair if I worked there.

I could just say, blue light special. And I thought that sounded like heaven on earth. No stress. And I decided just before I applied to Kmart, I would go to church. I mean, I hadn't officially left Mozambique, but I was just so tired.

They were shooting at us. Marxists were shooting machine guns outside our windows. We were just tired, you know. Couldn't sleep. Too many guns. Every night. Just tired. And so I said to God, God, I know that Kmart's calling me.

And I'm just, you know, that was after 10 years of education. It's just so good what you can do with your education. And we have to joke a little bit, don't you think? There I am. I'm lying on the floor.

And Jesus, how? Jesus shows up. Now that will mess you up. If Jesus shows up, you're in trouble. Because he always messes things up. Jesus never just makes it nice and sweet. Go work at Kmart, sweetheart.

No. Jesus changes things, and he wrecks everything. He just wrecks it all, and he messes up your head. And he messed mine up. Because he looked at me. Ha! That's the problem. Ho! When he looks at you, you're done for.

Do you know that? Whether you see him in a vision, or you see him in the book, or you see him in her. When he looks at you, you're ruined. Ha! Forever. And there's no turning back, because you're ruined forever.

It's his eyes, you see. They burn like blazing fire. And they looked at me. And then he looked at me, and he allowed me to see what was around him. And what was around him was this huge multitude of children.

And he said, give them something to eat. Ho! I said, no! In church, I screamed. In church. You know, a church, a church, like a church. I opened my mouth, and I screamed out loud, no! Very loudly. I couldn't believe I did that in church.

I'm actually rather shy, and I don't want to scream in church. Well, it's true. If you knew me, you'd know. But anyway. I didn't want to scream in church. And I'm screaming, no! Which is another thing.

You shouldn't scream no to Jesus. So I was doing two things that I really shouldn't have done. But I was so completely undone. And then he said, I died that there would always be enough. Whoa! He took a piece of his flesh, ripped it out of his side, handed it to me.

And I thought, that's ugly. I mean, a piece of bloody flesh, that's ugly. But John 6, you see, it says that he is the true bread from heaven. And unless you eat this bread, you have no life in you. So I looked at that piece of broken body, his eyes so beautiful.

Oh, and his body so broken. And I just started to hand it out like that. And they took it. And I just started handing out the bread. And you know what happened was that piece of flesh turned into bread in my hand.

It was like fresh, hot bread. And I handed it to every single child. And there were thousands of them. It took me hours and hours and hours to pass out this bread. I was in this vision for hours. Whoa!

And then Jesus put his cup here. It was hope. In our country, if you're really poor, you're really poor, you don't have a cup unless it's a coconut. A half a coconut shell. Because nobody has money to buy a plastic cup.

And this cup that I saw was actually a poor man's cup. It wasn't jeweled. It wasn't magnificent. It wasn't beautiful. It was a coconut, half a coconut shell. It was wooden. Poor man's cup. And he placed it here next to his side.

Whoa! Blood and water flowed from his side. And he said, Give it to the children to drink. And without words, whoa! He looked at me and he said, It's a cup of suffering and joy. Will you drink it? I did.

I drank it. I just put it up and I drank it, knowing it would be suffering and joy. Knowing it would be suffering and joy. Suffering is not sickness, beloved of God. Suffering is seeing. Suffering is seeing.

Suffering is seeing. Suffering is seeing. Seeing what Jesus sees. Opening your eyes until you see what Jesus sees. Hunger in the world. Desperation in the world. People without hope in the world. If you will fellowship in His suffering, then you will carry His glory.

Will you drink that cup? Whoa! Suffering is seeing. God wants to open your eyes that you would partake of the suffering of Jesus and the joy. The joy is knowing He will multiply Himself through your little life given.

Ha! So I said yes and I drank and then I gave it to the children. And this cup became drink for the children. Ha! Do you know He told me a second time, Holy! I died that there would always be enough. Back to Camp 2000.

Faith Beyond Natural Limitations

After that vision, I didn't think like a normal human being thinks. I didn't. It's not that I checked my brain at the door. It's that my brain got transformed. Supernaturally transformed by being in the presence of God.

By seeing the eyes of Jesus. The compassion that flows from His heart to mine. Whoa! Camp 2000. A bunch of Westerners. Mozambicans, they all believe God. But the Westerners, they said, you can't give out a thousand loaves of bread to 2000 men and their women and children.

There will be a riot. I said, I'm not going to give out the bread. You are. They looked at me with that look of, Jesus Christ, sweet Jesus. Make more bread. They started passing it out. A bunch of Westerners.

University students. Passing out bread. Passing out bread. Passing out bread. Every single man, every single woman, every single child ate a whole loaf. Then we gave a bunch of bags away to the civil authorities because we had so much left over.

Is that just a cool story? I know some of you don't believe it. Do you know why? Because this bunch had heard me speak in a conference somewhere and they thought I lost it when I told them to pass out the bread.

I said, didn't you hear me speak in a conference? What are you doing here anyway? You think I'm a liar. Why'd you come? No, I didn't say that. I was too sweet. I just smiled at them and said, you pass out the bread.

That's why I know you don't always believe me. But those three, those three here, they're going to have some fun watching God wreck their lives as they hold the dying in their hands and watch him pour out his presence through their little hands.

Watch out. I'm going to finish my story. I'm not late. Amazing. That's a miracle. God's multiplying my time. I thought I was already supposed to be finished. And it's okay. I'm just ready to see God take your little jar of clay life and turn them upside down.

I'm ready to see him just fill you with his blood and fill you with his fresh bread and cause you to run out these doors and feed the poor. I just believe that there's going to be someone in this room today who's really, really going to give their life for love.

A Calling Formed Through Conversion and Surrender

I actually believe that. When I was saved, born again, I didn't even know what you called it, saved. I didn't know what that meant. But I went to a church and I was studying as an American field scholar on an Indian reservation.

And I wanted to find out how to love people from the inside. I studied. I grew up in a wonderful house with everything in Laguna Beach and just had a really beautiful upbringing, loving parents, but I'd never seen poverty.

I'd never seen suffering. And so I decided as a sophomore in high school I would go and study among the poor. I'd done Switzerland for a year. That wasn't poor, but it was wonderful. And then I thought, well, now I want to study somewhere else where they're truly poor.

And for America, that would be the First World Nations or we call them First Nation people or Indian people. And I lived on a reservation and they hated my guts, really did, because I was white and they used to throw things at me.

I was getting trained for missions and I didn't even know it. And they just hated me because I was from another place. And I was saying, I want to learn how to love. And I did go to church and I was confirmed and all, so I knew something about God.

And I said, God, I want to learn how to love from the inside. And someone said, well, come to a revival. What's a revival? I didn't know what a revival was. And they said, a revival. And I said, well, I'm killing bugs.

That was my job. I had to exterminate cockroaches. So a revival sounded better. That's the only reason I went. And so I decided to go to the revival and I ran through the rain and I had long blonde hair down to here and all Indians and I'm shopping wet, white, blonde girl.

And I run in and the entire room's filled with Indians, 500 American Indians. And there I am. And the man is dressed in full Indian clothes and he's a Navajo preacher and he's screaming, I've always hated white people.

I went, not good to run out the room, you know, can you say that here? I just thought maybe I should. Anyway, I did think that. So I mean, I wanted to run out the room and I couldn't because I was stuck in between other people and he's preaching and then he finally said, and then I learned about love and now I love people from the inside.

I went, oh, that's what I've been looking for. Thank God. This man started to love people because, you know, I was glad about it. And then it was a Baptist church, Baptists, they said, Baptists. And he played Just As I Am, this song the Baptists play.

Just as I am I come and they're supposed to come but nobody did. They were all sitting there, just as I am we come. Nobody came, just as I am. And they played it over and over and over again. And I'm sitting there saying, why isn't anyone moving?

My heart's pounding and I'm waiting for someone to go and do something and run up there and nobody's moving. Finally, I didn't give a rip. I mean, I ran up the front of church and I didn't know anything.

I had no understanding. I was the type of person they would call non-initiated. You know, I had never been in a church like that. I didn't know what you could or could not do. So I ran up to the front and I started screaming again.

I know, this is terrible. It was the way I started, probably the way I'll finish. And I'm screaming, ahhh! And this lady was so upset. She was upset. She said, calm down, calm down, shhh! I said, I can't, I'm a sinner!

You're supposed to be quiet about it. I was a sinner and I knew it for the first time in my life. I knew I was a sinner. And then I knew I would meet the Savior who gave people love from the inside. And this lady, I mean, telling me to be quiet, I didn't understand and I just sobbed.

And I, I mean, I fell on the floor. That wasn't allowed. I mean, I was just undone. And there was some lady there, there was one other lady there who was pale and she had big hair. Have you ever seen that big hair?

It's big hair, high, big hair. She looked like she was from Mars or something. I mean, she had high hair and she looked very odd to me. No makeup. She was pale with high, big hair and she said, Holy. I said, What are you doing?

Holy, she said. I said, Wow, that's a lot of hair. And the lady said, Holy, you need the Holy Ghost. I said, I do? I need the Holy Ghost? She said, Holy Ghost. With all that hair. I thought, Wow, that's a wild looking woman.

But I, I don't know what the Holy Ghost is except prayed, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. I suppose I need him. So she said, Get in my car. I said, Well, you know, when? She said, Well, I suppose it could be tomorrow night.

I said, I'm going to the movies. She said, That's not holy. Oops. Anyway, they trapped me in their car. These holy people with holy hair and they trapped me. And I'm from, you know, California, Laguna Beach.

These people are from another place. I don't understand them. I mean, I think they look like bizarre people. They had dresses down to their ankles and they just always did that. Holy odd people. And then they got me trapped again in a little church.

There were 30 people in that church and they'd never had a new person for years. I knew because I was wearing trousers which you couldn't wear and a short shirt, also bad. I was raising my hands because that's what they said to do and the shirt went up and oh my God, they freaked out.

I didn't know anything. I was, again, uninitiated. And I'm hearing them and this man is nuts. I mean, totally nuts. How does this apply to my story? You'll find out in a minute. I, I'm not sure myself yet but I will find out as well.

And I'm saying to God, what is he doing? Because I grew up, you know, with her as proper and we were proper in church and we were proper and never did anything but be proper but we were proper and we did.

Yes, God. And this man looked like a maniac. He was leaping. Ha! There were only 30 people in his church but he was screaming. He was leaping and screaming. I said, what kind of a man leaps and screams in a church?

I said, either he is totally nuts or he knows God. So then he said, you need the Holy Ghost. And I'm thinking, sweet Jesus, who I just met. This is a crazy place and I want to get out of the doors right this moment before they trap me.

They are the weirdest looking people I have ever seen. They are loud. They are noisy. They jump around and have lots of hair. I said, I want out of the building. And they all turned and looked at me because I was the only woman in trousers.

God help me. And they said, you need the Holy Ghost. Okay. And they said, come to the altar. There I came. I don't know what to do. I have no idea what's about to happen. They said, kneel down here. Okay.

Three people, the entire church, 30 people come and they put their hands on me. I'm like, what are they doing? It was terrifying. Everything went pitch black and then, boom, bright white light and I started praying like they did.

And then I rolled down the aisle. Rolled down. Rolled back. Rolled down. I was a holy roller. Rolled back. I didn't know about holy rollers. Never heard the term. But I was one of them. I was initiated suddenly into a baptism of fire and I got happy.

Then I started laughing. In church, I was laughing hysterically like a crazy woman. Then they took an old bathtub. They pulled it out of the closet. They pushed it. They hadn't had a person in years. They were very excited, you see.

They couldn't believe they got somebody and I was it and they were very happy. So out pulls their bathtub and they said, just wait a minute. You need some new clothes. Lord, help me. And they put a white dress on me.

I mean, they filled up that old rusty bathtub with water and they said, you're going to die. I said, oh, shabba. Okay. Great, you know. Fabulous. All I think is, my mom's going to kill me. My mom's going to kill me.

And then they stuck me in there. In the name of Jesus, out I come. I mean, that is a wild place to get initiated. And talk about the bush bush. This is the bush bush of Mississippi. They are on another planet, I'm telling you.

The Holy Spirit and a Missionary Call

But they taught me how to believe God. You see, even before I knew that I would be stepping out into nations and believing God to multiply food, the Lord took me at 16 years old and He filled me with His love and He filled me with His Holy Spirit and He took my little life and I said, here it is, Jesus.

Take it. Just take this little life for your kingdom. And then, and then, people said, if you really want to know God, you need to stop eating. I said, that's really weird. Stop eating? They said, yes.

Just don't eat for a while and pray fast. I said, okay then. I'll do that. Anything they told me, I'm like, yes, okay. And just don't, don't let my parents know. Don't let my parents know. They'll just, I mean my parents said, my daughter's dead.

She went in a weird cult. She's bizarre. Weird. My mom's just been five months in Mozambique as a missionary. Took a while, but hey, it took like 30 years. Holy is the Lamb. Anyway, there I am, getting wrecked in church again.

Just wrecked. And I'm fasting and I'm on a day five of my fast. And I'm kneeling before the Lord. And the reason I'm telling this story is, God wants to call little boys and little girls with little lunches, your life, so He can multiply you for the multitude.

That's why I'm telling this story. Because God wants to multiply you for the multitude. He wants to take your mind and transform it with His. He wants to take your heart and totally expand it. He wants to take your love and let it grow for a dying world.

So there I was, just raising my hands up to God. And they are still loud as ever. Loud as ever they were. Screaming and yelling in church. And I said, God, oh God. And then suddenly, I couldn't hear anything.

I believe God's gonna give some of you supernatural experiences today. Today, tonight, where you're going to get caught up in His presence. Whoa, why not here, why not now? Whoa, why not here, why not now?

So I got caught up in the presence. And the only time in my entire life that I heard the external audible voice of God, whoa, He spoke to me. He said, you're called to be a minister and a missionary to go to Africa, Asia, and England.

Whoa, I thought it was odd hearing England. But since it was an external audible voice, what could I do? Oh, He kissed my left hand. Jesus did. Oil ran down my arm. And my life was totally given, totally abandoned from that point on.

I have never said no to anything that I've ever heard Him say to do. Anything I knew He asked me to do, I've always said yes to. Anything, anything, anything. Even when I didn't understand it was this anything of God inside of me.

This anything. The next day, I stepped out onto the street corner and started preaching the gospel. God's looking for little lovers. He's not looking for the most magnificent, most brilliant, exceptional people on the planet, although you are.

He's just looking for anyone who will yield their lives in His hands. Anybody who will love Him for who He is. Anyone who will know how loved they are by Him. Hey, you see, when God gets a hold of your heart, then you start to understand how loved you are.

How your Father will do anything for you. Do you know how many kids we picked up? We have a huge, amazing group of people helping us now. They're just my heroes. Some of them are in the room. My heroes.

We just picked up dying kids. We picked up one, two, ten. Now we have 6 ,000 children in our full-time care. Look at us. We're just little people in the dirt and God multiplies Himself. Here's the end of this story and then we're going to pray.

The Little Lunch in Jesus' Hands

Listen. Here's a little kid who's being totally ridiculous. Do you get this? Do you get this yet? No? Is it too complicated? Is it? I said it's not. Here's a little kid. The disciples don't get it. And then another disciple said, Oh, here's a little kid.

A little boy. He's got five small barley loaves and two small fish. Please, five barley loaves and two small fish. A couple of weeks ago, our nation got hit with cyclone and flooding again. 300 ,000 people homeless.

And here's Arco Iris. Arco Iris means rainbow. I love that. Rainbow in the midst of the flood. We're little kids. We're little kids. We're not the big boy on the block. We're not World Food Program. We're just Arco Iris little people in the dirt.

But Jesus said to me, If you will give yourself to me fully, if you will give me your lunch, your heart, your mind, your emotion, your love, if you will give me all that you are, then I will take your little life.
