Daily Bread - February 22, 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.

Rescued from the Failing Business In Entertainment by the Lord of Our Business

Today I will take you on a journey where fish reside. You are a fisher of men. I called you to catch men. How will you catch them if you do not fish?

Fishing is only boring to those who do not love it. It is boring to those who have no purpose for fishing. Do you have a purpose for catching men?

This is the occupation that I placed you in. As I created Adam and placed him in the occupation of a gardener, so have I placed you in the occupation of a fisherman. Have you ever wondered if Adam was a good gardener?

Have you quit your occupation as a fisherman and entered another occupation of your own choice?

Look upon the many man-made gardens of this life, and behold the numerous ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans full of men. Will you continue to spend your time tending the flowers and the trees of life and not take time to fish in these places that you pass by daily?

The fish are so plentiful that you may catch them by any means. I need willing available vessels for instruments for my fishing. I desire to use you that I might catch men and bring them out of these waters. As you walk by their places of habitation, do you observe the many fish that are in trouble?

Do you realize that many of them do not know that the sin all about them is not food for them?

They swim about in the waters of sin. They breathe the poisonous fumes from the plants of sin. They eat and drink sin as a regular diet using an appetite that will never be satisfied. Who will go and plant the word of God in the midst of this sinful environment?

The enemy continues to plant new foliage and new plants of sin in the ponds of life, but who will go and plant the knowledge of the tree of life?

They need the Lily of the valley instead of their lilies of corruption. They need the Rose of Sharon instead of their roses of vanity. They need the tree of life instead of the trees of pride. They need the fresh waters of life instead of the waters of lust. I have stocked the waters in your city with men from all nations. You do not have very far to travel to fulfill my commission to go and preach the gospel to every creature. How long will you tarry before you journey to Africa in your backyard?

How long will you sleep before you wake up and proclaim the good news to Europe in your front yard?

How long will you halt before you declare the truth to Germany in your own marketplace?

Look upon the men in the waters of life, and behold their unceasing hunger for bread. Don't you know that my bread is appetizing to those that I am drawing from these waters?

Recall the fish that you have seen up close. They are biting right now, and they were biting when I brought them face to face with you. Do you recall what kind of bait you fished with?

You must use the "good news" bait, which is encased in love instead of good news packaged within condemnation and insincerity. Have you caught fish and brought them to the pond of life only to wake up one morning and find them dead in a pond of life?

Why should I give you the beautiful and precious fish of the earth if they will only die again in your garden of unconcern?

I am looking for healthy waters to place precious fish. Will you clean up yourself that the fish may live?

Or will you choose to be an unfaithful caretaker who ministers death instead of life?

All the fish of the earth are important to me. I died for all. Who do you fish for?

Are you aware that many of another nationality would respond and be willing to be caught by you if you only fish for them?

Cast your bread in the waters that you have not fished in, and you will draw out a big catch. Hear my voice, and come from your favorite comfortable fishing place. I will show you new waters where there are easy catches. Learn lessons from the enemies in the waters where these fish dwell. Go to the frogs, and learn of their wisdom. They eat any moving thing that is small enough to swallow. Have you fished for the young?

Will you only fish for grownups while the frogs of these waters devour and eat the young?

The alligators, the snakes, the wading birds, and the animals that eat fish all come to the waters where the fish live. They journey there to catch fish. Have you been to the waters where men live?

When I called you, I empowered you with fish catching ability. You ask, "Who will teach me to fish?"

I say, "Who taught the frogs? Who taught the snakes? Who taught the fish eating birds? Who taught the raccoons? Who taught the bears?"

When you are hungry to fulfill your purpose in this life as a fisherman, the natural God-given abilities within you shall be activated to enable you to go to the waters and catch fish. You must hunger to do the will of God. A hungry bear will fish until he has caught a fish to satisfy his hunger. Where is your hunger?

A hunter must hunt. A pilot must fly a plane. A teacher must teach. Are you a fisherman who does not fish?

I have come to you today to revive your natural God-given love for fishing. You must accept this reviving. You may choose to be restored back to your natural occupation. You are weary because you are attempting to employ yourself as an entertainer. You will starve in this occupation, for the salaries of fisherman posing as entertainers of the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life are not sufficient for you. The currency paid these entertainers of lust and pride has no value in my kingdom. Resign from your failing business in entertainment, and come back to the Father's prosperous business of fishing.

You say, "You are not an entertainer," then tell me how do you spend your time?

Do you spend your time laboring to please the lust of your eyes, the lust of your flesh, and the pride of life?

You say, "I must work." Yes, or you should not eat. Work that you might eat, but cease your working to entertain your lust and your pride. Turn in your resignation at the entertainer's headquarters, and come immediately to the business that you are naturally equipped to succeed in. This is your father's business. Come back to my successful business. This business shall grow and fill the whole earth. I invite you again to labor with me and be successful. Continue to labor as an entertainer of lust and pride, and you will labor for meat that will perish. Come. I have not come to condemn you for your failures, but I have come to rescue you from the perishing employment by lust and pride, whose entire establishment lies in wickedness and shall be cast into the lake of fire. Come. Love beckons you to be reinstated as a fisherman in my business. Come and follow me.

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?
