Daily Bread - February 4, 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.

Visions of Grace Have Become Speaking Images of Reality In the Lives of Those Who Believe

You have entered into my gates with thanksgiving and into my courts with praise. Thankfulness has consumed you. Now will you see the benefits of a thankful heart. Grace produced gratitude in you; therefore, the expression of a grateful heart came out of you. You paused to acknowledge me. While showing respect and honor to your king, grace arrested your heart and emptied out the fruit of appreciation. You were without understanding when I saved you. I have brought you to a point in life where visions of grace are clearly seen. The mental pictures that you see will become realities in your life. The visions of grace will become revelations of divine impartations. The visualizations given you shall become speaking pictures of life. Look into the distance, and behold the impossible situations become potential realities of my goodness. Is anything to hard for me?

Though the impossibilities you behold seem very difficult for your humanity, these things are easy for me. Do not allow the testimonies from the voice of hopelessness to frighten you. Their testimonies and their claims are unacceptable in my presence. I have declared every voice of doubt offensive in my presence. The things that are too difficult with you are possible with me. Your difficulties will be hard to manage if you continue to look upon your own ability and your own resources. Give me this stubborn problem that you are facing, and watch me turn it into a glorious testimony of my love. You have beheld a problem that is turned inside out. By faith, behold it the way I intended you to behold it. Remember the sock turned inside out?

This is what I have done to your problems. Difficult situations have come voicing questions in your presence. I am the answer to all of their questions. Direct these things to me, and you say unto all these things, "If God is for me, who can be against me?"

These things have challenged your authority as a believer. They came to complicate your faith. Faith is simple. Be not corrupted from the simplicity that is in me. I gave you faith. I gave it to every man. Go no longer in the path of ignorance, attempting to establish your own righteousness. Submit yourself unto the righteousness of God. Christ is the end of the law, for righteousness to everyone that believes. The righteousness, which is of faith, speaks and says. "The word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith, which you preach; that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart, man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"

No man has ever been made ashamed that has done this. It is impossible for me to lie. Call on my name in the presence of these interrogators of the night, and I will save you from the dilemmas that have been brought to you. You have heard the word of God. It did not fall among thorns. I gave you grace, and the word was not choked with cares, riches, and the pleasures of this life. The word that I sent into your hearing is bringing fruit unto perfection. You are not justified by works but by the faith of Jesus Christ. No flesh will glory in my presence; therefore, submit to the working of faith in you. It works with power and might unto success in all things. You have not sought to be justified by what you have done; therefore, you are not found a sinner. I am not the minister of sin. I am the minister of righteousness. Righteousness has exalted you. This righteousness did not come by works. If it had, Christ would have died in vain. You were crucified with Christ, and Christ lives in you. The life that you live in the flesh, you live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved you and gave himself for you. Do not frustrate my grace. Believe the speaking word. It is authentic and true. You know it; therefore, are you free.

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?
