Daily Bread - January 15, 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.

Stand still, and see the salvation of Jesus. The same love that caused me to give my life a ransom for the sins of the world is the same love that is shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost. The love that motivated me to include you in my covenant of life is the love that shall keep your feet from falling and count you faultless before the presence of my glory. I have counted you righteous. I have made you sit together with me in heavenly places. You did not earn a position here; therefore, trust the grace that shall grant you a place in heaven. Have I raised you up to heavenly places in Christ and decided not to catch you away with my bride?

Stretch forth your faith, and offer praise for the breath that you breathe. Stretch forth your faith, and offer thanks for the God of the whole earth. Offer praise to the Father of lights and the Father of spirits. You have the spirit that I gave unto you. I have given man his spirit and lit him as a candle, for the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. I have lit every man that comes into the world. Offer praise to the one who is your Creator. You have learned to come unto me, but you must also learn to leave your burdens with me. Much of your weariness is from the things that you should have left with me. Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

I have not sent you away with a hard yoke and a heavy burden. My yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Come as a little child, and you shall leave as a little child. I gave unto you the grace to come, for no one can come unto me except it is given unto him to come. Believe on me as the scripture has said then out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water. From within you today, there are rivers waiting to flow out of you unto others. There are rivers waiting to carve new paths in the earth and through the lives of others. Make a straight path for the rivers of life. Within these rivers, are the tender mercies of God. Everyone that is thirsty may come unto these waters. Though they have no money, they may come and buy without money and without price.

I have sent you with an everlasting covenant even the sure mercies of David. There are people calling upon me. Many are seeking me in this very hour. I am near them, but they cannot find me. Go and show them the way. You know that there is no other God but me. There is no other place for them to look unto and be saved. My word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and it shall not return unto me void. Now unto me, every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall swear. No one else came as a tender plant and as a root out of a dry ground. No one else came and was despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.

I am the Lord of Israel. I came unto my own, and my own received me not. I am the Word, and I am God. I was made flesh and dwelt among them. They beheld my glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. I gave the sign and became the sign. It is written, "Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." I became God with man. Now I am the Holy Ghost, God within man. All that shall come to me, I will in no wise cast out. You have my spirit. Now speak with the Spirit and say, "Come. Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."

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?
