Daily Bread - August 26, 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.

Lift up your eyes from the pits of this world. I have not selected a pit for your abode. I have called you into my presence to abide with me before the throne of grace. An enemy has sown the seed of doubt in your midst. Do not cultivate this seed of distrust in me. I am faithful. I have promised, and I will perform. I have sent forth the mercies of David, and these mercies are sure. I have called you unto grace, not disgrace; therefore, lift up your eyes unto the harvest. Labor for the meat in the field of grace. There in the harvest field will you find the glory of the last days. I have sent forth more power that you might experience the glory of my promises. I have called you unto sufferings; therefore, glory not in the things that the enemy desires you to hear, but glory in the cross of redemption. I shall show you the power of the suffering of the cross. I have caused you to allow this expression that I might be glorified. Lift your eyes again to the power of the cross, and behold the power of my glorious gospel.

Do not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation. I know that you believe the gospel. Now live in its power. This gospel and its power is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Be not ashamed of my name and me. Go and proclaim the power of my glorious name. It has you hidden from the things that have attacked your body. It has you hidden from the debts that have leaped from the shadows of doubt and unbelief. Give not credibility to the wave of unbelief that has filled the land, but give praise unto the name that has already been glorified.

Lift your eyes, and behold the blessings that are already in the barn of faith. I have called you blessed. Now nothing, no one, no spirit, no principality, no dominion, no person, no adversary can call you cursed. I lift up one, and I bring down another. Be content in the place that I have set you. I have set you as a pillar in the church. Now go forth in the power of the resurrection that carries you. The power of the resurrection is carrying you during this time of weariness; therefore, be not weary in well doing. You are reaping more than you realize.

Carry the harvest to the barn of fulfillment. When it is harvested by the angels that minister, then will you see what you have reaped. Angels have assisted you all the while. Now behold their presence in your life in a manner that you have not seen. I am touching your eyes to behold the realness of angelic help in this time of spiritual wickedness against you and the body of Christ. Behold the power of the ministry of angels on your behalf. Go and preach the gospel. My word is already in your tongue, and the expression of the resurrection waits to deliver the people. Prepare for a wave of deliverance on behalf of my name.

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?
