Little Things Can Accomplish Big Things

He sheweth His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 147:19

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in His presence. - 1 Corinthians 1:25-29

Catalysts are substances that are mixed in with materials to be reacted, they can increase the rate of a reaction, but are not consumed by the reaction; The catalyst itself remains unchanged at the end of the reaction it catalyzes.

Only a very small amount of a catalyst is needed to increase the rate of reaction between large amounts of reactants. If a catalyst is present, less energy will be required to complete the reaction. Think on these things as we move through this study.

And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the Lord anointed thee king over Israel? - 1 Samuel 15:17

Being little in our own eyes is necessary - in other words be humble.

Before honor there must first be humility. Do not confuse humility with lacking confidence. Confidence is built up in us because of the Lord God.

Let us be little, and let God be great.

[Your] people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified. A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time. - Isaiah 60:20-21

The Lord is the One who enables the little things to have the potential to be impactful ... He speeds up the process - by His Power alone, not ours.

There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, He said unto His disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. - John 6:9-13

A young boy willing to share, obedient disciples willing to distribute food to the hungry, giving of thanks believing God the Lord is the Provider all contributed to the feeding of more than five thousand people with more to spare.

Whom shall He teach knowledge? and whom shall He make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: - Isaiah 28:9-10

This is why Jesus said we must be as little children in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Children are teachable, children have a desire to learn and they absorb the information willingly. When a child grows to trust the teacher (whether parent or otherwise) they will follow the instructions they are given.

When the Lord is our Teacher, and we follow His instruction, then we are His disciples INDEED. (Because we are not just repeating His word, but also living out the Word which He preached).

Jesus said:

He that heareth you heareth Me; and he that despiseth you despiseth Me; and he that despiseth Me despiseth Him that sent Me. Luke 10:16

When we preach the gospel to others, we are giving them Jesus. If they receive the Word that is preached to them, they receive Jesus, if they do not, they are rejecting Him – it is not US they are receiving or rejecting, it is CHRIST in us.

And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name. And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. - John 10:17-20

When we believe on the Words of Jesus, we are receiving Him, His power into ourselves. When we go out preaching the Word of God, it is by His power in us that we shall tread down our enemies (not flesh and blood, but spiritual: wickedness in high places - that reigns in the hearts of mankind).

I remember when the Lord showed me a dragon rising up (in flight) from the earth, and a soldier stood across from it. The soldier was fully armored from head to toe. The soldier took out his sword and threw it straight towards the dragon. the sword enter the heart of the dragon and it fell to the ground.

When I asked Him what He was showing me, the Lord made me to know this fact:

A soldier that is fully armored will smite the dragon with the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God and will defeat him.

The false doctrines and teachings which cause confusion are the most dangerous weapons the devil has against people today. They are like serpents and scorpions – sly, deceitful, and deadly. The Lord tells His people DO NOT fear, DO NOT be afraid, Preach the gospel, and DO NOT allow ourselves to be changed by the things that are around us – the times, the modifications in teachings. Stick to the truth, and we will be protected in the freedom of our Lord. KNOW who we are in Him (just like He KNEW who He was and did not allow people to convince Him otherwise).

Many doctrines come and go, many teachings come and go like the wind. Alsways know that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty - freedom from deception.

He wants His people to be catalysts – NO chemical reaction can change a catalyst. Remain unchanged by the influences of this condemned world.

BE what HE AND HE ALONE designed us to be – walk in Righteousness, and in Holiness, Sanctified in Him – True Believers.

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, That You have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in Your sight. - Luke 10:21

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. - Romans 12:2

Allow yourself to be living proof of the Good, and Perfect (complete, not lacking anything) Will of God. Let God's Word transform your way of thinking - from that which seems wise, but is earthly, sensual and devilish, TO that which truly IS Wise being FIRST Pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. - 1 Corinthians 15:58-59

May God be with you all and may He bless you all richly as you walk in His Way (Christ Jesus).

1 John 2:18 - Little children, it is the last time: and as YOU have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; [this is how] we know that it is the last time.

1 John 2:21-22 - I have not written unto you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son.

1 John 2:26-29 - These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which you have received of Him abideth in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, you shall abide in Him. And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If ye know that He is righteous, you know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him.
