Daily Bread - August 25, 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.

The way that you take is known of me. Your location in this life is known of me. The path you have traveled is known of me. I know all about you. I know your beginning, and I know your ending. Now look to me, your Beginning and your End. The day shall not end before you behold the clarity of my promises in your face. I shall bring the fruit of my promises to your mouth, and you shall taste of the fruit of my promises to you again. I have placed this fruit in your mouth many times. The taste of this fruit has never been sour or bitter. The only bitter things that you have tasted are the fruit of the things that you picked from the tree of covetousness and selfishness.

Lean on me, and know that I am strong and faithful. The design of faithfulness is working in your life. This design cannot be marred, but it will not mix with the designs drawn by the engineers of the darkness and of the flesh. I am your engineer. Now allow the implementation of the spirit to control everything and then will you behold the finished structures of victory and satisfaction. I have come that you might have life. Life is always abundant and never insufficient. The insufficiencies and empty possessions are from another source and not from life. I am life. In me, there is sufficiency and fulfillment. Cast off this leanness that has come from the meat of this world. I have come to give you manna from above. The manna from above is filled with all the spiritual nutrients necessary for completeness and wholeness.

You have struggled in vain. Unbelief has intimidated you through the subtlety and craftiness of traditions. I have sent forth a new surge of my word and healed you of unbelief. Receive of this healing in your heart, mind, and tongue. Now speak of my glory, and talk of my power before the sons of men. I am your star for this day and the next day. I am the bright star for every day. There is no day for you when I am not shining on your behalf. Now believe the things spoken in your ears now and in times past.

I am faithful and cannot lie. The work of redemption was accomplished before the foundations of the world and so were the things of victory concerning you accomplished. Walk into the finished works of Jesus Christ, and worship with a new expression of faith and confidence. I am the Lord, your God, the only true God. l am the alpha and the omega. I am the first and the last. I am the star who shines for you and into the face of all darkness. I leave darkness without any comprehension or strategy against you. Look unto me, and behold your victories at your feet. Pick them up where you have cast your crown of humility, for I have placed all your victories at the feet of humility. Come and enjoin yourself unto humility, and forsake all forms of lust and pride.

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?
