I awoke every morning of every day without thinking about finances. I
never thought about resources the same way you do. My present was so busy I had
no thoughts of the future. All thoughts concerning resources require future
thinking. I was a present doer.
When I was on the hill that day I didn't think about how I was going to
feed all of those people. How many times, when you are teaching, do you all of
sudden stop and think, “How am I going to feed all of these people?” It doesn't
even enter your mind. You are thinking about the task at hand. Well I was
attending to the task at hand as shown to Me by my Father.
It would have been totally understandable to send everyone home. That was
the expected thing to do. It was physically impossible to feed all those people.
It doesn't even say that I had enough food for myself. Also, this miracle had
never been done before so there were no expectations from the disciples, the multitude
or even Myself.
I was not thinking about what I was going to do next.
When the disciples asked me to send the people away, My Fathers will was
revealed to Me by The Spirit. Once I knew that He wanted to feed the multitude,
My expectation of provision was activated. Within the atmosphere of rest, of
knowing that He always provides, I could hear The Spirit telling Me how it was
to be done.
Peter didn't think about walking on the water. He walked on the water. All
of the provision was at the right place at the right time. Looking around was
evidence that Peter had begun to contemplate the future; how the wind and the
waves might affect him. Future and Past reflections are not conducive to
Present provision. Peter sank.
You can’t think about it.
Go back and read how My day unfolded. I hear the news of the death of
John, I retreat, the multitudes come, I am moved with compassion, I teach, I
heal, the disciples comment that the people need to go home, My Father comments
that He wants to feed people, I believed Him instead of the disciples, He gives
further instructions, I obey, 10-15000 people + some loaves and fishes = full
stomachs for all, I send the disciples away, My Father wants to talk, I go to
the mountain to talk, He says it’s time to go, I walk down the mountain to the
water’s edge, He says, “Keep walking”, I walk on water.
Hear, believe, obey…stuff happens.
I didn't think about it.
For you to receive perfect present provision in whatever form that it
might take, it is necessary to obey the immediate will of the Father.
Also, if you are going to believe My Word, you are going to have to
believe it on its face. You are going to have to believe it without placing it
into any logical context.
You are going to have to believe it without thinking about it.
When I told Peter to come to me walking on the water it was impossible to
place that Word into a logical framework because walking on the water is
physically impossible.
Peter was in a situation where the only two actors on the stage were My
Word and Peter’s belief. He had to accept My Word as stated and understood. Come.
At this point, mental speculation on the details would be lethal because it would
(and did) hinder the supply of Present Provision by the Spirit. Also, speculate
on what? Peter had no context within to place My Word. He was operating in
unknown territory. Thus is the nature of faith.
You can’t think about it.
I speak My Word that you might believe. I reveal My thoughts that you
might believe; not so that you can think about it. Bring your thoughts under subjection. Believe what I say. Obey what I say. Have what I
say.
