Daily Bread - August 12, 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.

You must believe that I am and that I am the rewarder of those who diligently seek me. With me, all things are possible. Your faith is small. Spirits have attempted to destroy your faith in me. I will not stand aside and allow this to happen. I am true to my word. I have made promises to you, and I will keep my promises. Do not allow the delays to hinder your faith. I am faithful. Do not lose confidence, for I will not allow those of faith to be alienated from my promises. This is the same faith of the apostles and Abraham. Abraham believed me, and I counted his faith as righteousness. Now you believe, and your effectual, fervent prayers will avail much. I am faithful, and I will not let you fall. Despite the persecution that is going on, remain faithful to your beliefs. Have you been loyal to your beliefs?

I made you a promise and said, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." Can I lie?

Why don't you believe that I am faithful to my vows unto you? You are being persecuted for your faith. You must learn not to doubt my word and me when you are persecuted. Remain strong in faith, and give glory unto me. Do not stagger at my promises through unbelief, but be strong in faith. Be fully persuaded that what I have promised, I am able to perform. It is impossible for me to lie; therefore, trust me with all your heart. Do not renounce your faith because of the heat of the trial. You must have faith and not allow your faith to be destroyed in this fire. This fire is meant to build your faith, not destroy or minimize it. Stretch forth your faith into the fiery trial, and watch it grow into mountain moving faith.

Be not faithless but believing. You have collided with unbelief. This is no accident. Unbelief intends to run you off the highway of holiness and into the ditch where the blind are falling. Allow me to anoint your eyes with eye salve that you may see during this time when many are reckless because they walk not by faith. You must learn that when you are confronted with unbelief, not to lose your focus. Unbelief never ceases its war against you. Unbelief is in the darkness, and you are in the light. What fellowship has light with darkness?

Your faith will be contradicted. Do not allow disloyalty to your faith to surface, for disloyalty is also of the darkness. I have revealed myself unto you. Now walk in the steps of Jesus Christ, and walk on the water of my word, and you will not sink. Now abides faith, hope, and charity. Which is the greatest?

I am the Hope of Glory and Love. If I am LOVE AND HOPE, then where is your faith?

Give it to me, and cross over this stormy sea while you walk on the waters of this storm.

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?
