The Broken Alabaster ❤️
Praise Jesus! I love this exhortation by my Dad! I gave thought and prayer to the broken alabaster box this morning. -Hope ❤️❤️❤️
Dear Dad’s (Randall Hartinger) Bible Breakdown Today. Enjoy!
🔥💥✝️⬆️🆙☝️🏹🎯🙏☑️✅📖⚔️🛡️💯⚠️⚓👑
Let us be Broken for His Fragrance to Fill the Atmosphere
09/14 Daily Exhortation (Heb.3:13; 10:25; Matt.6:11; Luke 11:3)
Forthcoming is a 9:14 for 9/14 to focus/feast upon today…
Luke 9:14 (KJB) For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
Ahhh. The FEEDING OF THE FIVE THOUSAND with FIVE loaves and two FISHES. This *might* be a tad important as this is mentioned in all 4 Gospel accounts! (Hint, Hint).
First, the Bible is a patriarchal book. The men are listed. The women and children there are inferred (so, more than 5000) and mentioned in another account. But why 5000 in 50's?
God wants to EMPHASIZE NUMBERS. So, you have 100 companies of 50 men totaling 5000. 50 in Bible Numerics points to Jubilee and the Holy Spirit (a fruit of the Spirit is joy). The Holy Spirit was poured out on Pentecost (which means “THE FIFTIETH” since it’s the 50th day after Passover). A demonstration of the Spirit is about to happen and a “feast is made for laughter” and “he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.” Leftover after all were filled were TWELVE baskets. 12 in Numerics points to the 12 Tribes of Israel and to the 12 apostles (all Jewish).
In Verse 16, it says Jesus looked up to heaven, blessed the bread, AND BRAKE IT. The local church is likened unto a lump of bread (see 1 Cor. 5, etc.) as His “body” which is likened unto bread. The blessed church will be BROKEN. Been there. It is not fun, but yields JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY!!!!!
Even as Jesus fed them Manna (typifying Himself) in the wilderness, such is the case here. He also is using fish. A fish represents a sinner under God’s judgment pulled out by the Gospel net. In short, the disciples were to hand out bread as vessels, yet it is Jesus supplying. Moreover, we know a young lad provided the loaves/fishes. There is a valuable lesson. God wants to USE YOU to accomplish His will. But you MUST BE BROKEN.
1 Corinthians 3:9 “For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.” Much like in Psalms 127, God wants us to DO THINGS, yet HE IS DOING IT. This is a cooperative grace that cannot be denied. God gets 100% all the glory since He supplies the power to do His will.
Regarding the MULTIPLICATION MIRACLE of feeding the multitudes, Jesus rebuked His disciples for hardening their hearts in not considering the MATHEMATICAL MIRACLE.
Mark 6:52 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
This is a secret to great JOY: CONSIDERING THE MULTIPLICATION OF THE MASTER.
I exhort you today to CONSIDER God’s mathematics (His very mind/heart) and be used of God today. He can take our humble offerings of service and EXPONENTIALLY multiply them today. But first, we must be broken.
May the Alabaster box of our earthen vessels be broken today, that the sweet perfume of Jesus, Whose name is as “ointment poured forth” (SOS 1:3), may fill the atmosphere.
BE USED OF GOD TODAY and harden not your hearts by forgetting the mathematical miracles.
Counting the Cost and Considering the Creator’s Counts, -r <3
