Daily Bread - July 28, 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.

Go and prophesy these words: You are holiness unto me. All who attempt to devour you shall offend, and evil shall come upon them. Those who attack you have gone from me. It is needless for them to cry out unto me and say, "Where is the Lord that saved us in the past?" for I will not hear them. Their teachers and their preachers handle the word of God with deceit, and their prophets prophesy by another spirit. They walk after things that do not profit. Do not fear them, for they are being used by another spirit to make my heritage an abomination; therefore, will I lead out from among them those who hear my voice. They are listening to another Jesus and speak with forked tongues of deceit. They proclaim with their mouths that I am against my true anointed ones.

They destroy the names of the innocent and exalt themselves in their sanctuaries. They have changed their glory for that which does not profit. I shall make them horribly afraid, and they shall become desolate. They have committed two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water. Fear them not, neither turn to fight and exchange words with them, for their own wickedness shall correct them, and their backslidings shall reprove them. They have forsaken me, the spirit of truth, and they shall learn that it is an evil thing and a bitter thing to forsake me, the Spirit that has sent prophecy.

They have no fear in them, for they have exalted themselves above the knowledge of God. They have turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me. They have become workers of iniquity and cannot cleanse themselves with man-made cleansers and polluted communions. The soaps of their degenerate minds shall not cleanse them, for their iniquities are marked before me. Though they say, "I am not polluted. I have not gone after another Jesus, and I will not be turned away from the Lord." Yet, I say I will prepare to say unto them, "I know you not." As a thief is ashamed when he is found, so shall those who fight against you. They shall be ashamed; they, their pastors, their princes, their leaders, and their prophets.

From the first day that they set their mouths against you, they turned their backs unto me and not their face. Now in the time of their trouble, they shall call upon me and say, "Save us." I shall say unto them, "Let the Jesus who speaks against prophecy save you. Let him arise if he can save you in the time of your trouble." Trouble is coming upon the horizon of their lives. The Jesus who despises prophecy shall be silent as trouble raids their camp, for trouble shall come and devour their prophets and their pastors like a destroying lion. Do not forget the spirit of truth as they have forgotten me and hewed out these broken cisterns. In their skirts, is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents. Though they say, "I am innocent, and the Lord's anger shall not come upon us." Though they say, "I have not sinned." They shall be found liars, for I shall reject their confidences, and they shall not prosper in them.

I sent you unto them, and they rejected you, so I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust, and they walked in their own counsels. I sent them the finest of the wheat and honey out of my rock. They could have been satisfied in their souls had they submitted themselves unto me. I would have subdued their enemies and turned my hand against their adversaries. Now, the devourer has come. He has entered in among them, and they shall be ravished and raped by the devourer. Rejoice not because of their captivity. Except by my grace, this could have been you led away by the error of the wicked.

Cry out to me for mercy. Weep between the porch and the altar for them, for they are your brothers and sisters who have been enticed to abandon the spirit of truth to follow the spirit of error, which is the spirit of antichrist. They have lost the respect that was once given to them. They attempt to trample under their feet their own children because their children believe in my voice. Who can have respect for this kind of mother?

They have forsaken the places where their children once played and mocked the worship of the children that they birthed and gave suck. They have walked out on me, their husband, and the children that they say they loved. They shall be marooned on islands of darkness and stranded on desolate plains. I shall take the children that they deserted and multiply them away from their presence. The abandoned children shall not die, for I have given them the living word to keep them strong and healthy. Though these children are spoken of as castaways and left forlorn, they shall be raised up without sadness and accepted in the beloved. Though they are treated as derelicts and abandoned by their mother, their fruit shall not be dilapidated. They shall find acceptance in a new place. Go and speak these words in their ears.

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?
