Daily Bread - January 9, 2005

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 Holy Ghost Has Given Us the Advantage, and There Are No Disadvantages In Christ Jesus

I have not created you with the handicaps that you have accepted. Refuse to walk as an invalid in the Spirit. Allow me to live my life out in you, and you will cease to walk in misery. I have given you the cross as a way of victory. The cross is not a mere symbol of suffering. I suffered everything that would be a yoke upon your life to hinder you. Walk across this hindrance by faith in my actions on the cross. The cross is a bridge across every uncrossable highway. The cross is not a devotional sign offered in empty worship. The cross opposes every way of evil. It is adverse to every wicked system. It is contrary to all sinful techniques. The power of my cross will eliminate every vice. It will destroy all malicious methods. It will bring to a halt every criminal line of attack. Invoke the power of my cross in your life, and allow its power to work for you.

Do not allow the foul things of the hour to spoil your faith. I nailed all the vile things of the hour upon my cross. You are crucified with me; nevertheless, you live yet not you, but I live in you. The life you live in the flesh is by my faith. I have already suffered every nasty and horrible thing that could be experienced; therefore, do not submit to these unpleasant and revolting situations that the enemy is attempting to impose on you. You have accepted many obnoxious things because of unbelief. Do not allow unbelief to work in your life any longer. Rise up in faith, and allow the power of my cross to work in your life. My cross has made an intersection at the devil's one way path of defeat. Take the intersection of victory and by pass the path where so many are overthrown.

The enemy desires you to accept a handicap as a way of life. The impediment that he offers you is to be refused, for there are no obstructions that can stand in the way of my power. You are advantaged, not disadvantaged. I have given you power, for the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Now believe on me as the scriptures have testified of me, and overcome all these limitations. The Holy Ghost is a detriment to the devil. He is the one that is handicapped, not you. I have already won for you. You do not have to involve yourself in a demonstration against evil or the power of the devil. I took all the devil's grievances and nailed them to my cross. Why argue with the devil over what has been given to you?

You are the authority, not the devil. I have given you power over him. Cease contending with him. Cast him out, and go on to possess that which is yours. I have given you all things that pertain unto godliness. All things are yours because all things are mine. We are joint-heirs. Only believe.

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?
