Daily Bread - March 8, 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.

Be not frustrated by the trial's effect. The gale of its approach is intimidating to your flesh, but be not disturbed by the manner of its approach, for it is under my subjection. The waves that approach shall not go over your head, for I have lifted you up into another place with me. I cannot be overrun, nor drowned by the waves of intimidation and frustration; therefore, rest in my arms, for I am carrying you. This shall be quite an experience for you. I have chosen this trial for you; therefore, know that I am more than a monitor of the trial and the forces involved, but I am the secret to its outcome.

You will be a better person after this trial is over. Its days are already determined, and its outcome is already known of me. I do not reveal these things to you now, but know that I will not fail you, and you shall not be defeated. You shall be victorious as all the things that are happening are working together for your good. Believe on me and my word. Believe on me and my works, which are already finished then shall you meet the head of this storm with confidence. Meet the front of this storm with confidence, knowing that I met it before you. Stand behind me, and see the waters of this storm part as they attempt to come after you. Though the waters rage and seem to single you out, know of a truth, that its waters are merely passing by and are but for a moment.

Stand on your feet, and offer praise. Stand with your sword drawn and your armor on. Stand, therefore, with your loins girt about with truth. This storm aims at your loins that it might cripple you, but it cannot cripple you unless you break fellowship with me. I am your uprightness, and I am your ability to walk uprightly. Walk on in the light, that I am, before you, and be not intimidated. Do nothing except pray and praise for this present time. I am with you, and I do shake the foundation of this storm. I will scatter its gales and its waters, and you shall see the originator of this storm. I will show you where it came from, and I will show you where it is going.

Stand fast in me, and be not overcome with doubt and unbelief. I did not bring you this far to have you robbed by a conspirator smarter than you. Men and spirits are smarter than you are, but they are not smarter than I am. Be full of faith and confidence in me. I am faithful, and I have promised. Come and worship me, for I do show you things to come. Be not intimidated, for I am the Lord, and I cannot be intimidated. Act and be as I am, for I do show you what to do. Do as you see me do, for the spirit of wisdom and of revelation is with you and in you. I am your wisdom and the source of all true wisdom. I am your understanding and the source of all true understanding. I have been made all of this unto you. Now draw from the source of wisdom in this trial, for I am imparting unto you all that you need for this trial.

Lean this way. My shoulders are for your weakness. Lean on me. I am more than enough for this situation. I touch your mind with peace and strengthen your faith by my faithfulness. I touch your soul with joy and endow you with more love. I touch your eyes with new insight and reveal greater things to your mind. Rejoice, for I have brought you to the threshold of a great victory. Look beyond the storm, and see the sunshine of prosperity and peace. Behold it, for it is visible to my mind and my eyes. Behold it, for it is imparted to you through the spirit. Now 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?
