Wow, powerful testimony from Tevin!
The story of Jesus Christ with the Two Fish and Five Loaves that he used to feed 5000 Men ,I hope someone can get this .
There is a mystery many believers overlook, yet Jesus Christ demonstrated it so clearly.
When there were two fish and five loaves, it looked insignificant in the hands of men… but in the hands of Jesus, it became more than enough to feed thousands.
The disciples were worried. They were calculating lack. They were seeing impossibility.
But Jesus asked a powerful question:
“What do you have?”
Not what is missing.
Not what is insufficient.
But what is available.
This is where many of us miss it.
We wake up thinking: “I don’t have enough money…”
“I don’t have rent…”
“I don’t have connections…”
“I don’t have opportunities…”
But heaven is not moved by what you lack.
Heaven responds to what you present.
God will never ask you for what you don’t have.
He will always ask, “What is in your hand?”
That small business…
That skill…
That little income…
That connection…
That idea…
That strength you still have…
That is your starting point.
The mistake is this: we keep complaining about the little, instead of committing the little.
And here is the deeper mystery—
Before multiplication happened, Jesus did something powerful:
He gave thanks.
Not after the miracle.
Not after abundance came.
But in the middle of insufficiency.
This is the formula of the Kingdom: Gratitude before multiplication.
Many people pray like this: “God, I don’t have rent… I don’t have money… I don’t have this…”
But in this Kingdom, we don’t approach God from a place of lack—we approach Him from a place of thanksgiving.
The Bible says: “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.”
Thanksgiving is not just a reaction.
It is a spiritual key.
It is your access code.
It is your alignment.
It is your declaration that God is still faithful even when things don’t look like it.
When you give thanks, you are saying: “Lord, I may not have everything I want, but I recognize that what I have came from You… and it is enough for You to work with.”
And that is when multiplication begins.
Because God does not multiply complaints.
He multiplies what is surrendered with gratitude.
So instead of worrying today…
Pause and ask yourself:
What do I have?
Then lift it up to God with a grateful heart.
Thank Him for the food you have.
Thank Him for the roof you have.
Thank Him for the strength you have.
Thank Him for the life you have.
Because when gratitude rises, lack loses its voice.
You may have little—but with God, little is never small.
And just like Jesus showed us,
what you place in His hands with thanksgiving…
He will multiply beyond your imagination.

Sentiments of Venezuelans
I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable.
If you have never lived in Venezuela
If you did not grow up there
If you did not watch your country collapse in real time
If you did not stand in food lines
If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built
If you did not have to leave your home with nothing
Then shut the fuck up.
You do not have an opinion.
Your opinion does not matter.
And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there.
I’m Venezuelan.
I lived there most of my life until my early twenties.
I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes.
This is not politics to me.
This is trauma.
Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked.
There was trade.
There was money coming in.
There was investment from the US.
There were jobs.
There was food.
There was medicine.
My family had five businesses.
We had our home
We had investments.
We had a future.
Then the government started nationalizing everything.
Private companies were taken.
Foreign investors were pushed out.
Imports were blocked.
Price controls destroyed production.
Corruption exploded.
And everything died.
Not slowly.
Violently.
People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online.
They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope.
People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology.
They are trying to survive.
They are trying to find food.
Trying to find medication.
Trying to keep their families alive.
So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that”
No.
It’s not complicated.
You’re just ignorant.
China is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela.
They are stealing.
They are extracting.
They are draining what’s left.
If the US comes in and reinvests
If refineries get rebuilt
If infrastructure gets restored
If imports open back up
If food, water, and medicine become accessible again
If people can work and earn with dignity
Then yes.
Let them take all the oil they want.
Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed.
This is something to celebrate.
Not because it’s perfect.
But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope.
Hope that families can eat.
Hope that people don’t have to flee their country.
Hope that Venezuela can function again.
If you’ve never lived through a country collapsing
If you’ve never watched socialism destroy everything around you
If you’ve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation
Then again
Shut the fuck up.
This isn’t theory.
This isn’t politics.
This is lived experience.

Lot of posts copying the likes of @BernieSanders @SenWarren and @AOC calling for more taxes on Billionaire @elonmusk, forgetting that in 2021 he paid a 53% rate of tax totaling $11b. They all repeat the claim that his company has received benefits of $38b from the US Government.
Let's look at his REAL economic impact to the U.S. It's mind blowing.
Musk’s ventures currently contribute $100–140B in annual GDP impact, or roughly 0.4% of total U.S. GDP. And growing faster – considerably faster – than the US economy, promising even greater contributions in the future.
That’s more annual contribution to US GDP than entire annual GDP of smaller U.S. states, like West Virginia (~$108 billion, 0.37%) or Hawaii (~$116 billion, 0.40%). And growing faster.
On top of that NASA and US Department of War have cumulatively saved over $40 billion as a direct result of SpaceX delivering a reduction in the cost of delivery of launch and communication services over traditional vendors. SO much for Musk Companies having "received" $38b. In other words, had the U.S. not paid Musk companies $38b, then the US would have had to spend $78b with competitors (and possibly then not received a delivery of the goods ordered! Boeing, looking at you.) Not to mention that Starlink practically saved Ukraine from being overrun in the early days of the Russian invasion.
Seems we are all, all Americans - and citizens of the world in fact - benefiting from the growth of Musk’s net worth. Here are the numbers:
Please post this in response to every post you see bleating about Musk being a billionaire or trillionaire and how its so terrible.

So I did a thing for the BYU vs Texas Tech Big XII Championship Game. I created a Hip Hop Song in honor of BYU. It's called, "Cougars on Top."

If you're going to penalize a 1-loss Power Conference team for a weak strength of schedule... BYU's SOS is better than Ole Miss and Notre Dame.
If you're going to penalize a team for not having the strongest power ratings (which incorporate prior year's history and recruiting rankings)... BYU's FPI is higher than Oklahoma's.
If you're going to penalize a team for a non-competitive / bad loss... Alabama lost by 14 to a team with a losing record and Miami lost to two unranked teams.
If you're going to use strength-of-record like you indicated you would, BYU's SOR is the second highest of teams 6-12.
BYU also (1) made its conference championship game and (2) if you sum up the wins of the teams it has beaten, it is THIRD in the country. It is hard to win games and BYU has beaten a lot of teams with a lot of wins.
This. Makes. No. Sense.
The @CFBPlayoff should be ashamed of itself. It has literally contorted itself into a pretzel to avoid putting BYU where it should be ranked (somewhere between 6th - 9th).
RT to get the info out there. They need to feel pressure.
