Daily Bread - June 20, 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.

There is a flood of iniquity in the earth. Only those who have received abundance of grace shall be saved from this flood. This flood shall not cease its attack upon humanity. Beware, lest you fall from grace and be found without the only escape route available. No man-made device can hold back this flood. It rises higher than everything built by man. Only grace is a wall and a defense against the flood of iniquity. Iniquity has created a disturbance in the earth. Its wind has created violent disorder. The coldness of its temperature has affected the hearts of many. Its thunder and lightning has created a turbulent outburst of anger. Iniquity has bombarded the earth and its inhabitants with a heavy discharge of wickedness. As rockets from an enemy army, wickedness has covered the earth. Remain in the strong tower of safety and in the grace of Almighty God and then you will be safe from this violent assault by iniquity. The author of iniquity is striking quickly because he knows that he has but a short time. Be not distracted by this subtle attack, but draw near to me, and become totally involved in the quick work that I am doing in the earth.

Many are being won over to the enemy's side. Be not drawn away from the love of the truth, but put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in this evil day. You are protected from the severe spiritual weather. I have protected you by my love and grace. Love and grace have abounded toward you during this time of attack by the storm of iniquity. Be not distracted with those who seek to understand iniquity and sin. You will only increase its intensity by your knowledge of them. Seek to know me. By the law, is the knowledge of sin, but I did not save by the law. I saved you by grace. Feed yourself with the knowledge of me. Feed yourself with the knowledge of my love and grace then will you be persuaded to love the good and hate the evil.

Iniquity is as a violent earthquake uprooting everything that is not built upon the foundation of holy security. This is not a time to stop here, and study the manner of sin. During an earthquake is not a time to study an earthquake. It is a time to pray and seek safety. Pray without ceasing. Pray that you are counted worthy to escape all the things that are coming upon the earth. Do not allow the violent spiritual quakes of the hour to shape your spiritual direction, neither your growth in Christ. Grace is not disturbed by this violent storm of iniquity. Come and grow in grace. Grace has leaped higher than the storm. You are in the arms of grace. Now be at peace with me and with others, and the falling things of the hour will never touch you, for peace has surpassed all the effects of the storm. The mystery of iniquity is working exceeding wrathfully. Until it is taken out of the way, then it will work. Sin entered in because of the offence of Adam and thereby many are dead. The gift of grace has abounded unto many by Jesus Christ. The abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reigns in this life by him. You have justification of life. Grace abounds much more than sin. Sin reigned unto death. Now grace reigns through the righteousness of God unto eternal life by Jesus Christ, your Lord. Fear not the storm of the hour. You are reigning with me, the Lord. At the throne of grace, iniquity cannot find you. Come boldly to my throne. It is held up by mercy.

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?
