Daily Bread - March 5, 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.

Lay Up Mercy In the Vault of Heaven, and You Will Be Able To Stand In the Evil Days Ahead

Goodness and mercy has followed you. Goodness has led you unto repentance. Now you will not perish, for goodness has saved you from the devastating blow that sought to cause you to lose your life and be damned. Goodness has invaded the temples of God, while mercy has stayed the hand of my wrath. All have sinned and come short of my glory; therefore, I have given more grace in this time of need. Rejoice that I have counted you worthy to escape the things that have come upon the earth. You have heard my voice. Now give thanks that you are my sheep. Many who thought they were mine have gone down the path of illusion. Many wise men desire to experience what you are experiencing and have not experienced it. Rejoice, for I have been good to you. You deserved to die, but I gave you grace instead of judgment. Go and do for others what I have done for you. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Lay up mercy in the vault of heaven, and you will be able to stand in the evil days ahead. How will you stand if you have not been merciful to others who have sinned against you?

The fact that others have done wrong unto you granted you an opportunity to express mercy. If I had not allowed others to do you wrong, mercy would be stagnant and shut up inside of you. This is an opportunity to express mercy and cause it to abound in a greater way unto you. Do not use the time of being done wrong to express judgment. Express the same mercy and goodness unto others that I have given you when you deserved judgment. My love is shed abroad in your heart. That love is giving you the desire to forgive and abound unto a better relationship with others who have been too weak to love as they ought to love. Pity those who are weak in their relationship with me. Do not take me for granted, but rejoice that you are in your right mind to love even those who do not love you. Seek more charity in this hour of cold love. You have not suffered from the coldness of love because I have given you a freshness of Rhema in a time of a famine of the hearing of the words of God. The fire of my word has warmed your love, and now you abound unto the victory of love. Love will overcome a multitude of sins. Rejoice.

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?
