Daily Bread - December 7, 2004

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

You have received power, for the Holy Ghost has come upon you. My great power is in you. You are not defenseless. I am your battleaxe. Though the world is reeling because of the blows of trouble being swung throughout it, there is no power shortage in me. I have all power and a name that is above every other name. At my name, every knee bows. All things bow at the speaking of my name whether they are principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, or angels. Be not disturbed because of the things that are happening in the world. There must be wars and rumors of wars. The end is not yet. There is work to do. Lift up your voice, and preach the gospel. It is the good news for a bad time. Men seek peace, but there is no peace without the Prince of peace, the only Potentate. I am your peace. By my blood, you have access into the throne room. In my presence, there is fullness of joy, and on my right hand, are pleasures forevermore.

The power of man will fail. Men and their agreements will be broken, and confusion shall spread like a cancer. My power is the only power that will not fail. I have the power to keep my covenants and enforce my word. Be not drawn away by the weak and beggarly elements of the day, but be steadfast and immovable in the ways of the Lord. Be fully persuaded that this is the only way to salvation. I have not created many ways to be saved. I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes unto the Father except by me. If men attempt to come any other way, they are thieves and robbers. No one is good except me. The power of my goodness will not fail, for it is full of integrity. There is no darkness in me. I am light, and in me, there is no shadow of turning.

I have given you power to use my name. You have been invested with authority. Do not be reluctant to use your authority. I have given you love so that you may know how to use your authority. You have full power to cast out devils, to lay hands on the sick so that they may recover, and to speak and change things by your words. This is your right and your privilege. This honor has been given to all my saints. I am the power of God in you, Christ the power of God.

Satan introduced sin, which is the cause of death. Do not allow him to introduce sin into your life, but by grace, set up a resistance to sin by your love for me. If you love me, then keep my commandments. I have given you power to act on my behalf. Are you afraid to use your authority?

I have given you all the qualifications necessary to operate in this position. You have been counted righteous. You have been justified by faith. Open up your mouth, and allow me to speak through you. You have compared yourself to the problems long enough. Compare me to the mountains and troubles of the day. They are small things when compared to me. Go and transfer the wealth of the sinner to the bank accounts of the just by your words. Dispose of your doubts, for my word is gone out of my mouth, and it will not return unto me void. I have given you the ability to inherit wealth. Now receive it in my name. I am the all-sufficient God. I am complete and infinite in ability. I will enforce my word that is gone out of your mouth. Only believe.

Amos 3: 7 - 8

Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
