Daily Bread - March 11, 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.

I do not forsake my people when the storms of life come. I am your power source when you are without power and without strength. The enemy laughs in the face of the fearful and the unbelievers, but I am the joy for those who trust in me. The winds of life bend those who thought they were unbendable. When the winds of adversity come your way, I lift up my standard against them. There is no storm that can overcome me, for I am the head of all principality and power. Fear not, for I hold all these things in my hands. I will crush all your adversaries and bring you to the dry ground of victory. Redemption abides in you. Be not afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrows that fly in the daytime. I am with you as I said I would be. Lift up your voice in praise, and know that I have already overcome all of your adversaries.

I am the light of your life. The darkness cannot overtake you, for I have put all these things behind you. Lift up your voice in praise, and sound the trumpet of joy. I have caused you to triumph through your own praises. The light of the glorious gospel has wielded a crushing blow to the darkness. Lift up your head, and see that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. The enemy's Jericho cannot stand against the praises of the people of God. I have sent my right hand against the walls of resistance to my will. Do not think that these giant walls before you will stand in the presence of my force of power. I shall cause all of these walls to fall and bring you victoriously over all these things.

Fear not, for I have not forgotten my promises unto you. My love for you did not fade in the presence of these things that have threatened you. I am the King of kings and the Lord of lords; therefore, fear not, and be of good cheer. I have overcome the world and all of its friends. Be not a friend to the world and become at enmity with me. What fellowship has light with darkness, and what fellowship will you offer my temple with the temple of the idols of the day?

Will I abide in the temple of idols because of my blood, or will I abide in the temples of godliness?

My word has gone out of my mouth, and it will not return to me empty or void. Come unto the places of true holiness and true godliness. There will you find the presence of royalty and the power that breaks all yokes. Come and let me show you the slain giants that have fought against you.

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?
