Gerry Gutierrez' Update
Tell me about your eyesight.
“Blinded by the excess of light.”
Humans have been robbed of sight, taste, speech, hearing, and feelings of the things from God. When the supernatural aspect of our holy religion is ignored, we have thrown away the banana and are left with the banana peel.
Miracles run the world everyday but men cannot see them though it happens right in front of their noses. When a man stops seeing miracles, he has very little reason to praise the Miracle worker.
It is my aim today to point out to you the miracles from God that are happening daily, similar to the feeding of the 5,000 people in the times of Jesus. Our resources today are equivalent to the five small barley loaves of bread and the two fish but this time it is to feed over 5,000,000,000 people. (Five Billion plus people every day.)
While China goes around the world buying as much real estate and natural resources as they can from Third World countries to secure the survival of their great population, what is the rest of the world supposed to do?
Are we to compete and struggle to the point of war just to survive a little longer before we cook our last barley loaf of bread and lay down to die?
That is the bleak scenario which is more likely to happen and it’s only a matter of time according some experts. That is, unless we remember like Jesus to lift our eyes toward heaven to pray and then see God turning his face over us to grant us sight to see the miracle and win the competition for food from the hand of God and as result of prayer.
Imagine as the “Ship sinks” it will increasingly silence the voice of those who used to be concerned for the salvation first for the women, then the children, and the elderly. When the last order in the sinking Titanic of planet earth is given, “Save yourselves if you can!” Only young people and young adults will make it. “The survival of the fittest.”
What good is a body without a head to lead and feet to walk? What good is a society without ancient boundaries of the wisdom and the experience of the elderly? What good is a society that ignores where it comes from by killing its infants? It will be like an uprooted tree that will never have the glory and honor of the fruit that white hair bares.
Let us just visit the temple of doom in New York and look what the Governor and Mayor as Priests of Euthanasia and Infanticide do through abortion on demand that has killed countless old people and babies in the temple of Moloch known as “Plan Parenthood.”
There is a shortage of champions for the elderly in the America of today. Thousands of old people were confined, as in concentration camps, and died without a last sight of their own children and without a last goodbye. And were then cremated or buried in a hurry to protect the young and healthy.
Let the worshipers of the midsection of the body remember the kind of future they are building for themselves. “You can be sure that your sins will find you out.”
I heard a woman proudly say, “I had 23 abortions.” As someone said, would it not be a good stewardship to do a hysterectomy on her since she hates life? In the same breath, would it be a fair thing to emasculate the rapists instead of feeding them in jails, building for them a gymnasium and placing High Definition TVs so they do not get bored? While we are at it, can we pass laws of restitution and by using forced labor pay the victims of crimes?
Please forgive me for getting sidetracked for a moment. Let us go back to the feeding of the multitudes by means of miracles.
My beloved brother Doug Coe and I discussed this matter at length several years ago. Jesus used only five barley loaves of bread and two small fish to feed five thousand men plus women and children. Twelve baskets of food were left over after all had enough to eat.
Later Jesus used seven barley loaves of bread and five fish to feed three thousand men plus women and children. After everyone had eaten enough, there were only seven baskets of leftover food.
Notice that Jesus used more food to feed less people and the leftovers were less than when he fed more people.
The wonder of wonders is how God uses fewer resources to feed more people and more resources to feed less people. But the miracle of miracles that I want us to see is so amazing when for one individual God needs much more and at the end there is nothing leftover.
I live completely alone not by choice but by the sovereignty of God and my personal vocation. I have never understood how my needs are being multiplied at a geometrical rate while my income never seems to be enough yet I lack nothing.
How could I, who should be shrinking in height and weight with slower metabolism, put away food like the cookie monster who makes cookies disappear?
There is a miracle as evident as it was during the feeding of the five thousand, and equally mysterious and invisible to the naked eyes.
Let me state my case by testifying that I have the gift of careful observation and I have purposefully visited many nations including forty-nine states except Wisconsin. I have made a point as much as I could to visit the supermarkets, the farmers markets and the countryside to observe the wheat fields, the cornfields, the orange groves, the vineyards, the cattle ranches, the horse ranches, and coffee plantations, etc.
There is no way on God's green earth that what we produce in the fields are enough for everyone to eat and have plenty left over. There is a miracle in progress somewhere between the farm and the market or between the market and the kitchen or between the pot of food and the table.
God is at work especially among those who pray for their food. Miracles have not ceased.
Someone might say “It is Science.” If fact, someone told me once that Science challenged God to create a perfect man. It is said that God accepted the challenge with one proviso: “Bring your own dirt.”
So much for challenging God.
A puny man cannot create a pound of dirt, let alone an organ, yet he dares to shake his fists against God like Nimrod in Babel.
The God who chose the small things to humble the High and mighty is still in the business of being the God of tiny Israel. He is also the same God of the little boy in Galilee and his brown bag lunch containing the five small barley loaves of bread and two fish with which He fed five thousand.
Come and share your brown bag with Jesus and see a miracle. Come and feed a servant of God like Elijah and see a no ending miracle. Come and open your eyes in prayer to see the hand of God and you will have plenty of reasons to praise God as long as you live and beyond.
This was an eyewitness of the power of Jesus on duty.
