When Jesus Christ multiplies
Late in the day, the Twelve approached and said to Him, “Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find food and lodging, because we are in a deserted place here.”
“You give them something to eat,” He told them.
“We have no more than five loaves and two fish,” they said, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.” (For about 5,000 men were there.)
Then He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about 50 each.”
They did so, and had them all sit down. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them. He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd. Everyone ate and was filled. Then they picked up 12 baskets of leftover pieces.

This is the definition of "walking in faith" instead of "in flesh" (when we're making seemingly good, human-shaped things.)
The godly leader/believer must have the same mindset as Moses had. He approached Gd almighty with humble heart but with a mindset of principles. He got something else which created a deep change in his heart. The cause and effect is radically different progress in the Heaven. As we read in Exodus 33:13-14.
Please read this prophetically:
Moses said:
“Now if I have indeed found favor in Your sight,
please teach me Your ways, and I will know You
and find favor in Your sight.
Now consider that this nation is Your people.”
Then He replied,
“My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Exodus 33:13-14
“Now if I have indeed found favor in Your sight,
please teach me Your ways, and I will know You
and find favor in Your sight.
Now consider that this nation is Your people.”
“My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
*every era has different culture, language in the society, the previous generations are not able to talk to the new. The kingdom is eternal : the holy spirit is timeless : the Spirit is the Everlasting Gd
**Restoring the royal priesthood is a must, it's the basic. Living and acting in the priesthood means dedication, offering by heart, sometimes stepping out of the comfort zone.
