Daily Bread - September 14, 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.

Look to me again, and behold the awesome grace at my throne. I have stretched forth a sceptre of righteousness and invited you into my presence again. Be thankful, and acknowledge your helplessness to continue in the path of righteousness of yourself. You can of yourself do nothing. All of your righteousness is as filthy rags. Give me your filthy rags today, and I will exchange them for the justification you have left behind. How will you continue in the narrow way without justification by faith, which is in me?

The faith of Jesus Christ must be activated in your life if you are to soar into the heavenly places all about you. You have walked as a pauper among men. It is time to walk as a prince who has power with me, the Almighty God. There is no God beside me. I am the Everlasting Father and the Prince of peace. Today, I have stretched forth my goodness and led you to repentance. I granted you repentance unto life. Now allow the life, which is in you, to flow to those who are without. I have words to speak unto the world in this hour that must flow from my body, the body of Christ.

Lift up your voice in thanksgiving, and I will show forth the glory of the word of the Lord. The word of the Lord has come to you, a Gentile. I have sent forth my word and placed it in your tongue. The word of the Lord God is in you. Now be confident of its expression of faithfulness and power. I hold all things together by the word of my power. Now expect to experience how I have held together my body and assured unity by my Spirit.

The sword of the enemy shall not cut away those who are mine. Turn your eyes unto me, and place your hands to the plow of vision. Disassociate yourself from the instruments of darkness, and receive the yoke that I am giving you. My yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Enter into a new walk and a new way for you, the yoke, which is easy and the burden that is light.

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?
