Daily Bread - August 11, 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 come to save that which was lost. Do you have another purpose for being sent into the world?

There are many sick people in the world. Who will go and be a physician unto them?

You have spent much time on those who think they are whole. They that are whole do not need a physician but they that are sick. I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Cease wasting time on those who think they are whole, and spend your time on sinners and then will you fulfill the purpose that I sent you to fulfill. I am looking for lost sheep, not sheep that have been found. It is the sheep that are hungry and thirsty for righteousness that are ready to be filled. The hungry and thirsty are ready to worship me. They are crying out, "Lord, help me." They are not easily offended and will eat the crumbs that fall from my table. They are people who have great faith. Their great faith pleases me. Go and feed the hungry and thirsty. I have placed a great revival among them.

Do not spend your time biting and devouring one another. You will only be consumed one of another. Vengeance is mine, and I will repay; therefore, do not waste your time on vengeance. Only I have time for it. It will consume all of your energies and divert you from the purpose for which I sent you into the earth. The recent trial that I sent forth into your life was to show you many things. One thing that you should have learned is that everyone who seemed to be is not what they seemed to be. I sent my word into the midst of the people, and it divided them. Had they known me, they would have known my word. They rejected my word; hence, they rejected me. My word is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. There is no creature that is not manifest in my sight, but all things are naked and open unto my eyes.

This is the condemnation that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. Everyone that does evil hates the light, neither do they come to the light lest their deeds should be reproved. He that does truth comes to the light that their deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in me; therefore, worry not about those who do not follow you. The word, which is the light, has shined into their lives and condemned them. They love darkness rather than light. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. No man is able to pluck them out of my hand. If you cannot hear my voice now, how will you hear my voice after you are dead?

The hour is coming when the dead shall hear the voice of God, and they that hear shall live. The hour is coming in which all that are in graves shall hear my voice and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. I know who has the love of God in them. You can only know them by their fruits. You look on the outward appearance, but I look upon the hearts. Leave judgment unto me, and be convinced by the testimony of my word. They do not understand my speech because they cannot hear my word; therefore, they are not my sheep. This is disappointing to you, but my word is true. He that is of God hears my words. They do not hear my words because they are not of God.

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?
