Daily Bread - September 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.

You are an heir of salvation. I have given you ministering spirits to minister for you. Fear not, for these ministering spirits excel in strength. These ministering spirits have my purpose as a priority and are sent forth to aid you in your mission. Satan goes to and fro in the earth seeking whom he may devour. He walks up and down in the earth as an organizer of evil. He is a defeated foe; therefore, do not fear him. Leave him to the angels, and go on to minister. Behold me today. I am very great and clothed with honor and majesty. I am covered with light as with a garment. I am the one who stretched out the heavens like a curtain and laid the beams of my chambers in the waters. I make the clouds my chariot and walk upon the wings of the wind. I make my angels spirits and my ministers a flaming fire. I am a consuming fire; therefore, this fire burns in you.

I am a jealous God; therefore, I prevent you from sinning with the blessings of goodness. I have set a crown of pure gold upon your head, for grace has been given to you. I have blessed you and made you exceeding glad in evil times. You trusted in me; therefore, my mercy shall be with you so that you are not moved. My right hand shall find out all those that hate you. They shall be destroyed and swallowed up in my fiery oven in the time of my anger. My wrath shall be kindled against your enemies even their fruit shall be destroyed from the earth and their seed from among the children of men. Those that intended evil against you and those who imagined a mischievous device shall not be able to perform that which they intended. I shall turn them back, for I have already sent my arrows against their faces. The Lord, your God, has appeared in his own strength.

Sing praises unto me, and behold the power of your God on your behalf. I execute judgment, and my fury goes out like fire. It will burn all that plan evil against you, and none can quench my fire. Men who have planned evil against you shall be punished according to the fruit of their doings. My fire is kindled against them. I am jealous and furious. I will take vengeance on all my adversaries. I reserve wrath for my enemies. I am slow to anger and great in power. I will in no wise acquit the wicked. Who can stand before my indignation?

My fury is poured out like fire, and I throw the rocks down. I am good, a strong hold in the day of trouble. I know those that trust in me, and I have broken off all your yokes. I have given you beautiful feet. Now go, and declare good tidings and publish peace.

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?
