Daily Bread - September 15, 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.

Man will lie, but I will not and cannot lie. It is impossible for me to lie; therefore, go to my word, and hold fast to the promises contained therein. You have missed many blessings that were laid up for you because you have not laid hold on to that which was promised. There is no greater assurance than that which I have promised. Search the scriptures for the wealthy promises that are there for you. Search diligently and not like the slothful servants of Satan's kingdom, but look at the diligent servants of Satan kingdom, and behold their wisdom in regard to obtaining that which is in the world.

My privileges are not hidden, but you have allowed your traditions to spoil you and govern you after the attitudes passed down to you by others. Lay aside this erroneous concept of faith, and seek the wealth of the promises in my word. I have given you many personal promises. Study the personal promises given you. Combine that which is in my written word and those that were given to you personally then will you behold the vast possibilities in your possession.

Take up the instrument of faith today, and begin refining the promises given you. You are begging and pleading. Rise up, and refine what you have then will you understand how much has already been given you. I have given you precious promises. Many promises lay along the roadside of your mind in the dust of carnality and unbelief. Rise up, and dust off yourself with the fervent expressions of praise and worship. Rise up, and behold the effect of faith expressed in the due season of blessings. Due season is here. You are looking into the future and the yesterdays of the past, but look to this day, and behold the power of salvation working on your behalf. Salvation came and brought the ransom price for sins. Is salvation unable to bring the benefits of the ransom price?

I am able to do much more than you can ask or think. You cannot imagine the ability that I have. My ability and my productivity are not measurable. You cannot describe my ability with words, for my ability is far beyond words. Only the name of Jesus reigns above the things in this life. One word reigns supreme and that is my name. You have called on my name. Now behold the effect and the response to your cry. Lift your head from the fears propagated by the spirit of fear. I have not given you these dreams of fear, but an enemy has supplanted these images by his subtlety. Pick up the sword of the spirit again, and destroy these images of fear in your mind. The enemy has failed to overcome you while you are awake; therefore, he has attempted to bring you down to ruin by attacking you while you sleep. Be at peace with man and then will perfect peace motivate you to keep your mind stayed on me even while you sleep. Lift your ears to the revelatory expressions in the spirit, and grasp with the hearing that came by the word of God. I have not left you in a vacuum of silence where my voice is not heard. I have placed you in my presence with the robe of acceptance on your life. Only believe today, and you shall see the glory of God. Look beyond the circumstances, and you will see me, who is invisible.

There is a price to pay and values to forsake for the pleasure of such an experience, the experience of looking beyond visibility and beholding invisibility. You must count all things joy and all things dung. You must choose to suffer afflictions with the righteous, and refuse to be the son of the world and the son of the god of the world. When you have elected to suffer affliction with the people of my name and counted this more precious than the treasures of the world, then will you see in dimensions closed to the lovers of pleasure and idolatry. Lift your heart to me and then will your ears and your eyes be lifted. You must go beyond what you say with your lips and what you do in your body. You must actualize these things in your heart first.

Here. Receive my righteousness, and cast down your self-righteousness. Cast away your rags of filth, and be washed with the fuller's soap of love and the washing of regeneration. I am pouring out my spirit, but have you come to the shower or to your face bowl of carnality?

Withdraw from the mirror of human reasoning and traditions, and come to the mirror of my word and my spirit. I desire to show you the real you that you might behold his wretchedness and his misery. You are increased with goods, but you have need of every spiritual blessing that is made available in the shower of love, hope, and faith.

Come. I have beckoned. Come and be washed. Leave the clothes of self and self-righteousness outside the shower, for these things shall only prevent the washing from taking effect in your life. I am not impressed with you or anyone else, for all have sinned and come short of my glory. You can do nothing of yourself; therefore, come to the shower that awaits you, and I will supply you with enabling grace and sacrificial love. Come. It is your hour and your time. Accept this offer, and leave here clean and victorious. Refuse this offer, and leave here filthy and defeated. These words have I, the Living God, spoken in your ears.

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?
