Daily Bread - June 12, 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.

Be not discouraged in this time of battle. You are in the midst of a real war. I have sent you with the sword of the Spirit, which is the Rhema of God. Whose side are you on if you resist and inhibit the sword of the Spirit?

Swing the sword of the Spirit. I direct it. Open your mouth, and say what I have authored you to say. Be not discouraged by those who oppose you. The enemy has sent false teachers to scourge the true people of God. The false teachers inspire fear, and their strategy is to frighten you from speaking the living word. It is a very subtle invasion of terror with a frightening aspect that produces anxiety and worry. Worry not, for I will end the reign of terror by the false teachers. They are bombing my people with subtle violence in order to intimidate them into giving in to their demands. The fearful shall give in and so shall those who have not the faith of Jesus Christ. Those who know the voice of God shall overcome in this period marked by violence committed by those in power producing terror. Be not held in check any longer. I have made you free indeed. This inhibition is not of me. I cannot be restrained.

Open up your mouth and heart to the moving of my Spirit, and I will break off these controls that have been placed on my people. The controls placed on the ministers are being removed from every minister that wants to go free. Restrain your anger, but be freed to speak the living word. You have been deprived of liberty long enough. I have not placed you under house arrest or restraint. I have removed the forces and the persuasions that were sent against you. Be not checked in your spirit by these things. If you allow yourself to be checked by these things, your appetite for spiritual things will also be curbed. Wear not the bridle of man's control, and be not subdued or held down by the impulses that attempts to motivate you to throw down the living word. The bridle of man has bits and reins that govern the ministry with a headgear that restrains the words that should flow without fear or unbelief. Be not bridled by man as he attempts to force you to wear the headgear of fear and doubt. Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; neither for the body, what you shall put on. Life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which neither have storehouse nor barn, and I feed them. How much more are you better than the fowls?

Fear not. I have given you the kingdom. It was my good pleasure to give it to you. Be kingdom minded. Follow not those who seek their own and not the things that are Jesus Christ's.

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?
