You're Right Where You Need to Be

You're Right Where You Need to Be | Priscilla Shirer | Sermon
Priscilla Shirer speaks at Lakewood Church.

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

I came to tell somebody that there is treasure hidden in these Earth and the Lies of the Enemy vessels.

I came to tell you that by God's spirit there is gift and there is power that that has been entrusted to you that is available to you available to me as Daughters of the most high King you need to know that even if you do not believe what the scriptures declare to be true about your treasure if you don't believe that you've been forgiven or that you already have the victory or that the enemy is already underneath your feet and that there is no condemnation for those of us who are in Christ Jesus or that you have been made competent by the spirit of God I came to tell you that even if you don't believe it the enemy does he knows who you are what ashamed it would be for him to know and us not to so.

It's time for us to open up the drawer and start pulling out the treasure the treasure we've been ignoring the treasure we've been calling insignificant the thing that we've said is not enough not valuable Lord if I could just be like her Lord if I could just be like that if I could just have a bit more of that if I weren't me then Lord I'd be enough he says uhuh you have enough you just have't open up the drawer pull out the treasure.

There is a story in Scripture that is going to be very familiar to you it's the one that the Lord has been using in my own life to remind me about how he will compel me and he will compel us to open up the drawer and reach in.

And pull out the treasure and see what it's like when he uses what he has already entrusted to us Luke 9 verse 1 and 2 says this and he called that's Jesus he called somebody say he called he called he called the 12 together and he gave somebody say he gave he gave them power and he gave them authority over all demons and to heal all diseases verse two and then he sent somebody say he sent he sent them out he called them he gave them treasure and then he sent them.

out verse 10 says and then when they returned to him they gave an account to him of of everything they had done and taking them with him he withdrew by himself to a Hill Called Betha the multitudes were aware of this verse 11 says so they followed Jesus.

Because you know wherever Jesus went a crowd was sure to follow they weren't quite sure he was the Messiah but what they did know was that when this man showed up blind people could see what they knew is that when Jesus showed up the lame could.

Walk and the deaf could hear the dead were being raised so wherever Jesus was they came the crowd followed and welcoming the multitude Jesus began speaking to them about the kingdom of God and curing those who were in need of healing verse 12 so the day starts to come to a close and the 12 come to Jesus and say now Jesus you're going to have to send this multitude away they've got to go into the surrounding Villages and Countryside and find lodging they got to get something to eat Jesus come on.

Now here we're in a desolate Place verse 13 Jesus said to them uh-uh you give them something to eat they said Jesus we have no more than Five Loaves and two fish unless perhaps you let us go and buy food for all these people CU you know we're not enough as we are right now there were about 5,000 men.

Scholars say the reason why Luke specifies men is because there were women and children too so there were probably about 15,000 hungry people that day Jesus said have them recline to eat in groups of about 50 each so they did so had them all reclin and then he took the Five Loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven he blessed.

Them and then he broke them and he kept giving them to the disciples to set before the multitude and verse 17 says they all ate they were all satisfied and just so you know how satisfied they were they went by and picked up all the leftovers cuz there was overflow in this story we meet a hungry multitude.
