Daily Bread - June 14, 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.

You have observed the boisterous wind in the storm instead of focusing on me. I am teaching you to walk on the waters of your circumstances. Know of a truth, that I will not allow you to fall; therefore, do not doubt because of the manner in which the wind blows. I am the Master of the wind, and I will cause it to cease. With men it is impossible to control the unruly wind in this trial, but with me, all things are possible. Look inside of yourself, and behold the grace that is working in you. Now unto me who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think according to the power that works in you. I am God, and I will come and change your vile body that it may be fashioned like unto my glorious body, according to the working where by I am able even to subdue all things unto myself. You can walk on the waters of circumstances, for you can do all things through Christ, who strengthens you. You will not perish on the waters. I have given you precious promises. How can you perish, if the promises that I have made to you have not come to pass?

No one will prevent me from doing whatsoever pleases me. I made the heaven and the earth by my great power and stretched out arm. There is nothing too hard for me. I am the God of all flesh. Is there any thing too hard for me?

I have given you precious promises. You are blessed if you believe, for there shall be a performance of all the things, which were told you from me. Magnify me, and allow your spirit to rejoice in God, your Savior. My mercy is on them that fear me. I put down the mighty from their seats and exalt them of low degree. I fill the hungry with good things. The rich I send away empty. I will not suffer you to fall. I am more than able to make you stand. Grace is needed in this trial. I am able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. In all these things, you are more than conquerors through him that loved you. Be fully persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate you from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, your Lord. Commit all things unto me, and be fully persuaded that I am able to keep that which you have committed unto me against that day. The Holy Ghost in you will keep the good things, which were committed unto you to keep.

Lean not to your own understanding, but lean on the Spirit within you. If you are leaning on the Spirit, then rise up, and make a declaration of Spiritual empowerment; wherefore I will not be ashamed to be called your God. I will not disappoint the confidence that you have placed in me. I will satisfy the hope and the expectations of your faith. You have been appointed to an office in the ministry. Who can remove you from the office that I have appointed you unto?

Be not let down by the unhappiness caused by men. I am satisfying the hopes, desires, and expectations of the Spirit. It is I, the Father, who dwells in you that is doing the work. Allow not the measurements of men to become the standard for your performance. You will be disappointed constantly by your failure to measure up or to produce the desired results required of you by men if you become a man pleaser. There is nothing to regret about the performance of your God in you; therefore, look to the works of the Spirit in you. I do the works. Now labor together with me, and my fulfillment shall be performed by me.

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?
