Daily Bread - January 12, 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.

I have waited on your return to prayerfulness. I did not reject you in your times of absence from real prayer. I am not a man, neither am I anxious to see you destroyed or defeated. I am desirous to see you victorious and glorifying my name in the victory of my cross. Lift your head from regret and false guilt because of your failures. Remember that I knew that you would fail. My blood has not failed in your time of need. The blood is ever present for your cleansing. Lift up your head as a gate, and be as an everlasting door. I will come in and bless the fruit of your hands. I have not given you these blessings to halt them inside of a house. I will not allow the enemy to confine them in a box. These things are a blessing designed for others also. I have made you a steward over these things. You have kept them and arranged them. Now behold the work that I will do for my own name's sake. The night shall not come before I have fulfilled that which I have already planned. An enemy cannot hinder my fulfillment of these inevitable things. I have offered my only begotten son for you. Now how much more will I give you all things that I have destined to give you?

Worry not about the strategies of the enemy. He has attempted to frustrate you in vain. I have sent more grace that you might abide in the valley of victory. This place is a valley of victory, not a valley of defeat. I am the God of the valley also. I am not only the God of the mountains, but I am also God of the valley. I will give you tremendous victory for your tasting. Taste and see how good the victories will be in this present time and the times to come. I have made a way for you. The way has not been shut because of your lack of strength. You have tried to figure out a way, but now grace has motivated you to become as a little child again. You can now enter into the way that I have made. I have also given you strength to carry the things that I do not remove. I am right here eternally. The way is made. Now worry not about the rough path before your eyes. It is as an undeveloped area. Behold the technical things that are not possible by you and your abilities. These things are already solved. Enter into the realm of real faith, and close the eyelids of human reasoning. When you have closed the eyelids of human reasoning and opened the eyes of faith, then will you behold the hand of possibility demolish impossibility before your face.

I have not offered you blessings and turned them into curses. The voice of my thunder has not turned off its lightning. My voice of thunder has spoken and struck impossibility with the lightning of victory. You can now see the way to take, for my lightning has provided you light in this time of fainting. My love has not authored victory and defeat at the same time. My love has assured you of total victory and perfect peace. Do not allow the pains from the past to cause you to continually cry over the hurts and bruises, but look to my sacrifice, and behold the effect of all these things on my sacrifice. Now are you forgiven and healed. I took away all these things in my own body. Now are you free to come to this throne of grace as a son. My hand is stretched forth to bring you into a right relationship with me and not an unacceptable relationship. My blood has made this possible. Now who will make it impossible?

You have misinterpreted goodness. Go and learn the meaning of the statement, "Why callest thou me good? No, not one is good, but God." Go and learn what that means in the original tongue and the culture of those in that hour. Be not ignorant of the times my son. The hour is late. It is much later than you perceive. Awaken unto the purpose, and allow the inspiration of grace to revive you by its power. You have allowed an enemy to hinder you. I will show you the hindering thing and then bring you to a godly zealousness. Lift your head in thanksgiving, and be continually grateful. I have blessed you beyond measures expected by man. Now allow me to create a new desire for the word that must come to carry you on to the purpose ahead. Behold the power of my grace to make a way in this time of uncertainty. Behold this grace now.

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?
