The Parable of the Basket Weaving

Lord Jesus, help us to faithfully weave our baskets. I just see us sitting here weaving baskets and I don't know why. God, why are we weaving so many baskets?

And the Lord would say, that when the thousands come, He'll have food to feed them! And you would ask, "Lord, why are we just sitting here weaving basket after basket, after basket?" But it's all in preparation to feed the hungry; it's all in preparation to take care of the millions, to take care of the thousands, to take care of the mothers and the babies and the fathers and the families that He will send in.

So, be not disheartened in your basket weaving. For the day is coming that the Son of God will put bread and fish within your baskets for you to distribute among the multitudes of his people. For he's coming to feed his flocks; he's coming to feed his sheep. For he's heard their hungry cries.

For I am even making my people as bread. I am causing my people to become fresh bread for the hungry multitudes. You have been crushed; you have been ground; you have been baked. For that fresh bread smell shall go out through out the earth and the people shall come forth and they shall eat of the bread.

Even as I was the bread of the world and am the bread of the world, so shall you be the bread to cause the hungry to be satisfied. But do not forget that the bread must be broken and handed out. As you are handed out, and handed out so that the bread multiplies, know that I will give you more. And the more you give, the more I give. The more you give, the more I give, until every person that desires to eat of Me shall partake.

And even as you weave your basket, don't compare one with the other. For each one of you have a different pattern. There is a reason for weaving the baskets different. Don't think that your basket is any smaller. Don't think your basket is any less important. Don't even think in your mind or allow the enemy to put thoughts in your mind that are not of God, "That basket shines brighter." "My basket is hidden away." It is not hidden from Me, saith God.

There are different sizes, shapes and forms and colors, but all are important. They are all important if you stay within the weaving of your own basket and bring it into that perfection that I am calling it into. There's a little one here, and a big one there, and a medium size here. But it's all for the same purposes. It's all for the same feeding. Maybe one is feeding thousands. Maybe one is feeding a small child. But don't compare; don't compare! For it's all needed.

I've raised you up and appointed you, and anointed you for your task, for your individual task and the hungry will be filled. And not just for the hunger within my Body, but it was that hunger within you even as you were out in the world and in sin that drew you to the things of God. The hungry are sitting out there in the bars. The hungry are sitting even in the loneliness of their apartments, some even contemplating suicide.

Don't feel that you have to reach every individual, and every type, and every doing, and everything that is going on out there. But rather just hold unto your basket and deal with that which I would bring across your individual path and your individual calling and your individual appointment and assignment.

And then, as the baskets are brought together and presented up to Me, then it will all be accomplished. The feeding of the multitude will be accomplished as each one accomplishes that which I've placed within his hand. There is no one unimportant in the Kingdom of God. For I would go after the one and leave the ninety-nine.

If you have been appointed to go after the one, go after the one. If you've been appointed to go after the ninety-nine, go after the ninety-nine. If you've been appointed to reach thousands, reach thousands. If you've been appointed to minister to your family, minister to your family.

Remember, weave your basket; weave your basket; weave your own basket.
