Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant:
Our brother Os Hillman has a good insight on "impossible tasks" such as the one where Jesus tells the first disciples " You give them something to eat." (Mark 6:37a). They had recommended a logical answer to the problem, "Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat" (Mk 6:36). Their response was "should we go buy loaves of two hundred pennies, and we give it to them to eat? (Mark 6:37).
The Lord's response was "how many loaves do you have? ---they said five loaves and two fish. "And He instantly Commanded them all to be made to sit down by groups, in the green grass by groups." (Mark 6:39).
Here is the insight:
Has anyone ever asked you to do something that seems totally ridiculous? The very suggestion of their instruction may have brought laughter or even anger for proposing the idea.
I imagine that the disciples may have felt this way when Jesus responded with this comment when they asked him how they were going to feed the 5000, who had stayed around to hear him speak. The disciples suggested a logical answer to the problem, "Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat" (Mk 6:36).
That wasn't the answer Jesus wanted. He saw the need of the people. He had compassion on them. He wanted to solve the problem with a Kingdom response, not logic. He asked them what they had in their hand.
So often what we already have in our hand is what Jesus wants us to use to solve our problems. We must add faith to what we already have in our hand.
Then we will see the gospel of the Kingdom manifested to solve problems in a supernatural way. Jesus wanted to meet a need in which God would receive the glory. Sending the people away did not meet the need, nor did it bring glory to the Father.
Do not settle for the gospel of salvation only. Jesus came that we might experience the gospel of the Kingdom in its fullest sense. Our job is to look past our logical reasoning and see how God might want to solve our problem in a supernatural way.

PS. we had a powerful NDR/GDR zoom call on April 30! We repented for failing to make disciples, for failing to stand 100% for Israel, for the killing of innocents, and for idolatry, including ourselves and the spirit of mammon. It became a global day of repentance with saints from Australia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Liberia as well as several States in the USA.
