"But He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And when they found out they said, "Five, and two fish." Mark 6:8 NKJV

Five and two.

Easy math.

Five plus two equals seven. Right? Wrong. It actually equals more. So much more.

God bless you today. It has been a long time since I've sent out Manna. I could give you excuses but I won't. I will tell you this much: I haven't been idle. I have been growing, fighting, ministering and working. I will be thirty-five years old next month. Wow! That means that I am nearing the halfway point in this walk. With that reality comes a much needed time of reflection and assessment. Who am I? What have I accomplished? How close am I to walking in the fullness of my God-ordained destiny? When am I getting married? Will her feet be done? These are very important questions. During this period, I got some answers.

Everyone wants to have a life filled with accomplishment and meaning. No one sets out to fail. Having been created in the image of God, we desire to be like Him: creative, inspiring and transcendent. I believe that we all want to leave a lasting impression in the earth. We're supposed to. It's our right and calling. It is the call of The Most High God whom we serve to do our best to bring Him glory in the earth through the display of our unique gifts and talents.

Having written all of this, you're probably wondering what this scripture has to do with moving in your divine calling and purpose. When reading the scripture, you find out that there were thousands of people who followed Jesus to a deserted place. They were in need. They were hungry, both physically and spiritually. The word of God noted that Jesus had compassion on the multitudes and healed their sick. The people needed miracles. The people needed to believe in something bigger than their current circumstances. People today still do.

The disciples saw that it was getting late so they figured it was time for everybody to go home and get something to eat. Wrong. Jesus told the disciples to feed the masses from what they had available. Have you made yourself available for Jesus to use you? Have you submitted your gifts and talents to the King who is able to take what you give him and bless the nations with it? Are you willing to give God what you have? Even if you think it's not much?

Thousands of people were waiting for food. Twelve disciples. One Jesus. Five fish. Two loaves. Impossible math. Impossible indeed-until you add in the x factor. Five plus two is seven. Seven plus Jesus is more than enough! Hallelujah! For someone reading this, you need to know that Jesus is able and willing to multiply your little and make it much. Your situation may seem dire. You may have only a quarter of a tank of Gas left. You may have only a little bit of food left in the fridge. You may only have a few dollars left in your account. But God is going to multiply your fish and loaves to the place of overflow! You will have enough for you and your household and all those connected to you! Give God praise! Praise Break!

With Jesus, math is never simple! When we give Him what we have, He multiplies it for His glory and for our good. I'm not talking about money only. I'm talking about whatever you have! You've got a book to write. Write it! Give it to Jesus! He'll multiply it for you! You've got songs written. Record them! Jesus is able to get your song in the hands of the multitudes! You've got a business idea! Great! Submit it to Jesus and watch as He sends finance and expertise to help you actualize your vision! Jesus is a multiplier beyond the addition of your skills!

With that shared, I now take you from typed words written in faith for you to walk in, to the place of works. Faith without works is dead. I stopped talking about what I wanted God to do in me and went after destiny with what I had in my hands. You need to know that what you have is enough to get started! God knows what you have. It may not look like enough, but it only seems that way.

I've been declaring that God was going to use me in the area of movies and television and I have believed that for some time. But I never moved on it. Not until now. Hallelujah! At the bottom of this Manna are seven links to movies that I've done over the past four months. Seven! Five plus two to encourage you! Each movie deals with a different aspect of life: love, freedom, pain, forgiveness, redemption, energy and greed. I did one film for each subject. Don't tell me you can't do it! Whatever it is, if God can do it in me, He can and will do it in you!

The films are the first for John Gray Innertainment and Manna FilmWorks. That's right! This is only the beginning. I submitted them to a competition and I need your help. You can register on the site below and vote for each film. We need you. I need you. I've rarely asked for anything through this ministry and that's the way it should be. But now, I'm asking that you send this email to everyone you know and get the word out that John Gray is doing movies. The winners are chosen based on fifty percent fan votes. I need you to register, login, vote and share the site with all your friends. The scores are calculated based on the number of stars you give each film, up to five stars in three separate categories. Please vote what you believe. I pray it's five stars! We've worked so hard and believe that it's time for Christian films to take over the marketplace! I even did a film based on my song Iris! You have to see it!

Help me multiply my five and two! I ran after destiny on faith and I know that these films will feed the hopes and dreams of thousands. Oh yeah, and you're next! Jesus is no respecter of persons. He took my gifts and talents and has multiplied them to what you will see below. Thank you Lord Jesus.

Five and two. Five is the number for grace. Two is the number for witness. Witness a miracle of the grace of Jesus Christ in the life of one bold enough to believe Him at His word. What you have in your hands is enough to feed thousands.

Fish sandwich anyone?

Keep going.
