The Loaf and the Fish

Written by Glenn Armstrong

John 6, John 21, Matthew 7v7

While attending a meeting representing NZ and Australian prophetic ministries I saw in the spirit Ayers rock (Uluru) and then a picture of NZ from above and I heard in my spirit, "Australia is a loaf and New Zealand is a fish".

I understood this referred to the feeding of the five thousand with the loaves and the fishes (John 6 v11).

I also understood that this story represented something of the nature of NZ and Australia and how the Father intended to bless the world through these two nations.

Ayers rock looked like a huge loaf of bread baked in the heat of the desert. It was ahot and yellow landscape. NZ looked from above like a fish on the deep seas. It was a cool and blue scene.

The loaf in the desert clearly points to John 6 where Jesus feeds the five thousand and teaches of bread (mana) in the desert. He teaches that he had now come as the "bread of life" to bring eternal life.

Australia is "bread in the desert" and carries an anointing for miraculous supply. Even in the hard dry places Australian missions will know the abundance that comes by the word of the Lord, ( John 6v31 ). Both nations will be used powerfully through miracles to bring in the harvest.

In the Word where we see bread and fish together John 6v9, John 21 and Matthew 7v7, Jesus is demonstrating / teaching that He will supply and give abundantly.

The Lord would bless trans Tasman ministry and the ANZAC spirit of brotherhood.

"Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks and distributed them, he did the same with the fish". New Zealand and Australia will be distributed to the world, they will touch all nations and will bring in a huge harvest of souls. They will touch the nations of the sea and the inland nations. The Lord will divide to increase. He will divide off individuals and groups to distribute to the world,each time he does there will be increase. They will be divided down to small teams, two by twos (two fish) but they will be complete (five loaves representing the five fold ministry).

I, the Lord am your Supply. Do not look at your smallness compared to the need or atyour failure to achieve. I have uniquely prepared you for this time. I have placed you where I need you. You are the fresh bread and the abundant fish. You are My strategy from the oven and the ocean. I have you in my hand. I speak my blessing over you. I direct your work and command the increase. You are of agreater covenant than those "who ate the bread of Heaven yet died".Call on that covenant I will surely be there for you. Make a call on Me, I will answer you. I am the Bread of Life. If you ask for bread I will not give you astone. If you ask for a fish I will not give you a snake. Mat 7; 7 I The Lord give good gifts to my children.
