Daily Bread - June 30, 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 have not relinquished you to yourself, neither have I turned you over to the principalities and powers of the air. I have raised you up and made you sit together with me in heavenly places in Christ. Shall a spirit invade this heavenly place and thrust you out when I brought you in and placed my robe of acceptance upon you?

I am for you. Now no one can be against you. I am for you. No spirit can be against you and win. Lift your eyes unto the harvest field, and prepare to labor more in the field. The enemy has attempted to distract you from the labor in the field by engaging in attacks on you and your family. Give these battles to me, and go labor in the field. I am your battle-ax, and I have already been swung against your enemies and foes. Their heads shall roll; therefore, worry not about the gainsayers and the mockers. Vengeance is mine, and I will repay. Forgive and go on. There is work to do. You cannot work effectively in the harvest field if you spend each day warring with enemies you do not need to fight. Swing no longer at the elusive distractions that have sought to engage you in shadow boxing and shadow wrestling. Cast down the many imaginations that have been shot into your mind by the bow and darts of the host in distraction's army. Behold the host that marches through your midst in the Spirit. The angelic host of God has been here all along to fight on your behalf. Now leave the battle to the host of angels, and I shall show you a victory that you have never dreamed of. I am fighting against the foes from hell and from the darkness. Can you see the enemy?

Then stop your shadow boxing and minister. Leave the battle to me. Simply know that the victory is yours, and the battle is mine. Look away to the cross again, and behold me spending myself for you. I did not spend myself and then allow an enemy to declare my currency worthless. The currency of my sorrow, my grief, my chastisement, my wounds, my bruises, my stripes, my blood, and all that I spent is not worthless currency that has been burned and cast aside as empty values. My works are forever settled as the foundation of your faith. Look again to the foundation of your faith, and see that it is not in your ability but in what I have already done. I am your righteousness. You have found me. The magnetism of my love drew you into the force field of holiness. Observe the lines in this magnetic field of my love, and see that these lines hold you and restrain you. No one can pluck you out this magnetic field of love. I have sent a blow to the head of the enemy of the church. The door of love has opened to those I am drawing.

Lift up your voice, and proclaim the love of God and the forgiveness of sins. I paid the most expensive price known for your sins to be forgiven. Now it is time that the world knows the preciousness of what I have bought for them. Redemption has purchased a great salvation. Many do not know the value of this great salvation that they possess. Do you know that angels desire to look into this relationship that I bought for you?

Silver and gold has no value comparable to the value of a right relationship with me. What silver and what gold will you give in exchange for what I have freely given you?

Settle the issues concerning your loves, and press onward into the will of God. The time is short, and the hour is late. You have bought the truth. Now do not sell it. You have bought gold tried in the fire. Now go, and spend your tribulations, patience, experiences, and vision that others might be bailed out of trouble. Go and express the wealth of Christ in your life. I have given you the unsearchable riches of Christ. Spend it on the freedom of those who have not liberty in Christ.

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?
