Daily Bread - January 13, 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 come that you might have life and that more abundantly. I did not merely come that you might have it, but I gave it unto you and guaranteed that it would work in your life unto fruitfulness. You did not choose me. I chose you, and now that I have chosen you, I shall confirm my love unto eternal life. The Day Star is shining, and the countenance of this star cannot be tarnished by the rationale of the world's system. The eons of existence shall never testify of my glory the way my church shall testify. I have chosen to be glorified in my body, the church, and now is my glory revealed in it. Be not a part of another system, but remain true unto the truth and the expression of the resurrection. You are a new creature, and old things have passed away. Do not chase after "passing away things," for they profit nothing. Even if you gained the whole world, what would it profit you?

I have given you true profit. Now cherish this gain of the spirit and of divine order, then will you have peace. Keep your mind on me, and I will continually keep you in perfect peace. You have my peace. Now fear not, neither be afraid. You are in a secret place. You are hidden in my pavilion and under the shadow of my wings. I have borne you up and made you to sit here in heavenly places. The dogs of the hour cannot find you. The wolves of the field cannot devour you. The beast of the valley cannot rend you. The lions that go about and seek to devour will never taste of your flesh, for I have taken you into the arms of my love. I am carrying you near my bosom of lovingkindness and tender mercies. Be glad, and know that my love for you will not wane in the hour of temptation, but my love shall constrain you and keep you in the hour of temptation. You will not be stripped of your God-given righteousness by a thief, neither shall you be left without the strength of God because of the subtlety of lust. I will keep lust on the outside and guard your heart with grace. I will set a watch before your heart and your mouth, and I will keep the door of your lips.

I have come that you might have life. This life is flowing in abundance, and now be refreshed in me. Come into these waters, and swim in my glory, for the glory of the Lord is revealed. The arm of the Lord is made known and is now manifest. Be lifted from the pit of ruin and torment, for the act of my grace has finished the last act for you and for my bride. Come unto me, and rest from your labors, for I have finished the work by the act of my grace. Grace has spoken to your mountain, and now the absence of the mountain's presence gives you a clear and plain view of redemption's path that is set before you. Come and walk in this plain path before your feet. No lion is here, neither is there any ravenous beast. Only the redeemed are walking here. Walk now, for I am with you to restore all that was taken away in the battles of the past. It is your time of restoration; therefore, rejoice and be glad, for I have placed the fruit of restoration into your barns of faith. Be glad, and know that the words that have come unto you are from the Lord. They are sure, and they are faithful in productivity. Know that and 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?
