Daily Bread - February 13, 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.

Many have risen up to play and called it the joy of salvation. True joy will come when you rejoice with the angels who are excited about the repenting sinners. No sea is too stormy when you are seeking the lost. I have come to give you directions. You have used traditions of man to detect what I am doing in the earth, but I say that I am not found by the radar systems of traditions.

Seek me with a whole heart, and you will be given the vision of soul-winning for this hour of salvation. Man’s mind cannot detect the way of my spirit. Come unto the throne of grace, and look through the eyes of faith and then will you behold the clear light of direction, which is given by the mind of Christ. I am not hiding my will and the right direction from you. It is clearly revealed unto those who are called according to my purpose and those who love me. Those who love me shall cleave to me. When you have left your own reasoning and your own understanding and rooted yourself in love, then will you cease worrying about controlling your destiny. Give me the controls of your life. How can you relinquish the controls without giving me all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength?

When you have sought me with all your heart, in that day, you will surely find me and abide in the perfect will of God. The ship of Zion is not in trouble on the seas of life. I am not troubled neither is my body. The gates of hell are not going to prevail against my body then how will trouble in this hour prevail against you?

You are distracted because you have insisted on your own way. I have already said, “Lean not to your own understanding, for there is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the ends thereof is death.” My way is not a seemingly right path, but it is the path of faith. Faith is speaking today. Faith is granting you a good report as it did for the elders. Faith is expressing new visions of peace in the midst of all these things in the earth. Faith will frame your vision, and blot out the illusions of being sabotaged by the adversary and his host.

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.
