Daily Bread - August 6, 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 preeminence in all things. I am the mighty Potentate. I have the highest position, all authority, and all power, for I am King of kings, Lord of lords, and God of gods. I am the ruler of the universe. When I give a command, it must be obeyed. There is a judgment for commands not obeyed. Be not deceived. My commands are not suggestions. I will show that I am the blessed and only Potentate. My commandments should be kept without spot, unrebukeable until my appearing. Only I have immortality. I dwell in the light, and no man can approach unto me. To me, is honor and power everlasting. Clap your hands, and shout unto me with the voice of triumph. I am terrible and shall subdue all things under you. All things shall be placed under your feet. I am exalted. I reign over all the powers of the earth. You have princes ruling and reigning with you. Gather them together, and offer praise unto me. I shall demonstrate that I am with you, for I shall confound and trouble your adversaries. I shall do this that they may know that I am the Most High over all the earth.

Offer a sacrificial praise, and I will accept your praise instead of the death of your dream. Your sacrificial praise has been held as a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. Take the sacrificial praise, and offer it up to me, and I will accept it as a substitute for your blessings that was threatened with death. I am Jesus, the Lord who will provide. I have come to bless you. In blessings, I will bless you, and in multiplying, I will multiply your seed. Your seed shall posses the gate of your enemies. You are the seed of Christ. Now expect the blessing of Abraham upon your life because you have believed in my voice and obeyed my voice. I have given you the kingdom. Now go, and possess the things that belong unto you. I have brought you out from under the burdens of the slave master, and I have rid you of his bondage. I have redeemed you with a stretched out arm and with great judgments. You have been taken unto me for a people. I am your God. Now know that I am the Lord, your God, that has brought you from under the burdens of the condemnation. I have put my spirit upon you. Remember, a bruised reed shall I not break, and the smoking flax shall not be quenched. I shall bring forth judgment unto victory.

I have promised that I will not fail until I have set judgment in the earth. Judgment has come into the world. For this cause, I came that they which see not might see and that they which see might be made blind. The judgment of this world has come, and the prince of the world is cast out. I have been lifted up from the earth, and I am now drawing all men unto myself. The prince of the world is judged. He is under my feet. I am the Lord, and my glory will I not give to another, neither praise to graven images. Behold the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare. I am telling you now that I will do a new thing in the earth. Sing unto me a new song and my praise from the ends of the earth. Get ready to flourish like the palm tree, for you are planted in the house of the Lord. You shall now flourish in the courts of your God. You shall still bring forth fruit in your old age. They shall be fat and flourishing to show that the Lord is upright. I am your rock, and there is no unrighteousness in me. You shall not be ashamed, neither shall you be confounded, for you shall not be put to shame. Your Maker is your husband. I am the Lord of hosts, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth am I called.

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?
