Daily Bread - June 15, 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.

I am come that you might have life and that more abundantly. The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I have sent the bread of God into the earth. The bread of God gave his life unto the world. I gave my flesh for the entire world. In giving myself for the world, great grace and the gift of grace has abounded unto many. The free gift is of many offences unto justification. You are justified by faith; therefore, be fully assured that I am taking care of you. I will not forget your work and labor of love that you have shown toward my name. You ministered to the saints, and you are continuing to minister. Stretch forth your faith, and show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end, for he that endures to the end, the same shall be saved.

My counsel is immutable. I cannot lie. A strong consolation is given unto you that you may lay hold upon the hope that is set before you. I am the anchor for your soul. I am both sure and steadfast. Do not worry about the threats of destruction that have come against your mind, neither worry about the outcome. I am able to save you to the uttermost. I am the holy, harmless, undefiled high priest. I am consecrated forevermore. I have placed my kingdom within you. Keep the things of the kingdom always in remembrance. You must be established in the truth, for it is the truth that has made you free. Be freed to rise up by the same spirit that was in the prophets and in the early church to speak as the Holy Ghost moves you. I have come to inspire confidence in you. A guarantee of assurance in the plan given you in times past remains in effect. You will not be defeated, and my plans to bless you will not be retracted. Be free from doubt and uncertainty. Set your sail of faith in the encouraging winds of love, and be certain that on the field of battle, I am fighting for you. I have freed you from doubt. Let there be no shade of doubt in your mind concerning victory. Certitude is of a high premium in this trial.

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?
