Daily Bread - February 28, 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 hour is late. Go and sound the alarm. Go and show forth the correct testimonies in the presence of the holy. I have set a trumpet to your mouth. Now sound the alarm. I say, "Sound the alarm, and fear not the attitudes and expressions of those who are drunk on the wine of unbelief." I have given you "hard-headed" faith. Fear not their faces, and look not at the intimidating eyes of hate. I have made your faith hard headed. You will not turn back in the day of battle, but you shall see them fall in the day of battle as Saul fell. Look to the end of this journey, and behold those who stand beside the banner of love on high. Look to the end of this journey, and behold those who wear the garment of praise at the end. I have placed the garment of praise upon you. Now do not wear the garment of heaviness again.

Look to the author and the finisher of your faith. Your author has not come to you and promised rejection. I have come and sealed the completion of the work that I started. I started a good work in you, and I will perform the work. You have looked to yourself and found emptiness. Come from the self-centeredness of your own mind, and behold the power of your God and the promise. I have promised. Will I not perform what I promised?

Look unto the completion of the work. You have looked at the adversary long enough. Look away from his show in the dark. His demonstration of actions without power to carry out his plan has fallen to the ground. Now look at the slain warriors of evil in the distance, and behold the church rejoice on the tombstones of evil persecutors. I am the Lord. I do all things well. Will I do a bad work in your presence, when I have promised you revival and victory?

Come to the table of victory again and eat its bread and drink its wine. Be not drunken on the wine of this world, but be drunk on the Holy Ghost. Come. There is revival in your bosom. Come to the activity of the Spirit, and you will behold the wind of a new Pentecost.

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.
