Daily Bread - February 6, 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.

The expressions from the princes of spiritual compromise have slain many while they have listened to the voice of false favor and vanity. I have granted you a love for the truth that you may be able to stand and not fall into the hands of deception from the devil, neither into the hands of my accurate delusion that awaits those who love not the truth. Prepare to give your life for truth. Many have given their lives for lies. Those who give their lives for lies have no mercy waiting to escort them to finished redemption. Those who give themselves for truth shall never lose in the end. If you lose your life for the gospel, you will surely save it. Stand for that which is right, and your honor in heaven shall be great. Give your life for a lie, and you are dishonored in this life and in hell. It is not enough to hear the voice of the mockers in this life but to hear the screams of the damned forever are more than anyone can bear. Bear the reproach of the cross, for it is bearable because of my grace. Come and allow grace to sustain you in this time of decision for truth and righteousness. You have the kingdom, but your search for righteousness must continue. Follow righteousness wherever it leads.

Come into the presence of my consuming fire today, and you shall leave the bonds of unrighteousness in the ashes of sacrifice. You must learn to die daily if you are to continue along this path of righteousness for my name's sake. Behold those who have forsaken this path and walked in the paths of unrighteousness. They are now the testimonies of goats and speaking corruption that speaks louder than the pillar of salt of Lot's day. Corruption is speaking in this present hour. If you will not hear my word, you will surely hear the voice of corruption with its winds of famine and death. Life is speaking today. Now hear the voice of life, and follow life as it leads you away from the war on the front-line of battle.

I am leading you to the place of victory already won. Run to the one who has already placed all things under his feet. Run to the light that has already separated itself from all darkness. Run to the head of all principalities and powers that has already caused all these enemies and their armies to bow. Run to me, and I will give you rest from the wars fought by those who are corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. I offer you life today and a life free of the pains suffered by David and Bathsheba. Their lives were for your admonition. Now come, and live in heavenly places unaffected by the lust and pride of earthly kings and queens. Here in my presence, the joy of submission to my lordship is an expression full of joy and triumphant rule with me in this life and in the life to come. I have invited you into the courts of peace. Give me your hand as you walk around this array of defeated warriors. Look at them from this position, and see that they do not know where you are, for here, you are hidden in me. Come. Let us go on. There are souls to be won.

Jeremiah 15:16

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
