Daily Bread - March 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.

Behold the many souls that dwell in darkness. I have sent my army with the word that will deliver them out of darkness and the shadow of death. I will break their bands in sunder. I will break their gates of brass and cut their bars of iron in sunder. Behold the many souls who sit at the gates of death. They are crying unto me. Come and follow me, for I will save them out of their distresses. I have sent my word to heal them and deliver them from their destructions. I am gracious. I am full of compassion. I am righteous, and I have given you righteousness. Because you are counted righteous, there is light for you in the darkness.

You have been given power. Now go forth, and preach my word unto those that the enemy has persecuted. He has smitten their lives down to the ground and made them to dwell in darkness. They are dead in trespasses and sins. Their spirits are overwhelmed within them, and their hearts are desolate. They are stretching forth their hands unto me, and their souls are thirsting after me. I will not hide my face from them any longer. Go and preach the gospel in the face of the prince of the power of darkness, for there are souls that I must deliver, whose spirits are about to fail. Go and preach my lovingkindness, and they shall come unto me. For my name's sake, I will quicken them and bring their souls out of trouble. Go and you shall behold my ability, my strength, and my grace performs the work in you. I have all power and all authority. I have given you a commission to go preach my word. I will supply the power. When I am the power behind my word, then shall people be astonished at the doctrine. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with a word in due season. I am the authority and the power behind all that you say. Open your mouth, and speak the word that I have placed in your tongue.

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?
