Daily Bread - March 12, 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.

If I would regard your iniquities and your transgressions, you would be led away to the judgment without mercy and grace, but because of my lovingkindness and tender mercies, you have been brought before my throne of grace that you might have mercy and grace to help you in this time of need. I am the light of your life. Because darkness has hovered over your head, does not mean that the light of your life is affected by the presence of the darkness. I am not affected by its presence, neither am I intimidated by its threats. I am the head of all principalities and power. I am the head of all the rulers of the darkness of this world. The light that I am cannot be shut off, neither can it be contended with. I am the conqueror, the deliverer from heaven, your creator and your God. I am your Father. Jesus is my name. My name is the essence of my being and my nature. Trust in my name, and know that I have heard your cry and have responded unto your desperate cry. If you, being a father, responded to the desperate cries of your children, how much more have I responded to the cries of desperation from my children?

I have made you a son and accepted you in the cage of my belly. In my spiritual rib have I placed you, and assimilated you into my church. I have placed faith and grace within you that love will not fail but that love would endure in you and not fail because of adversity and ignorance. I have not judged you after your ignorance and transgressions, neither have I offered rewards according to your failures and sins, but after my tender mercies, which are sure and everlasting, have I laid up rewards for you by faith. I have put the blessing of faith within you and foreordained your victory over the world. Be not stymied by the clouds of the evening hour, for I tell you that there is surely light in this time. I have come to your rescue and taken off every shackle and fetter. The enemy, which has sent forth his words of judgment, has been pushed aside, and now my arms have embraced you and brought you to the banqueting table of victory. Eat the bread of victory, and drink the wine of success.

You are in the Father's house, and now there is fruit left for you to taste. Taste and see that the package before you is not an illusion, neither is it the strong delusion that I have sent forth unto those who love not the truth, but I have sent you a blessing that cannot be erased or blotted out. Enter into my rest, and wait there until my coming. My rest shall be your chamber of preparation and the seat of departure. Rest in my rest. Usher forth stammering lips and other tongues now, for I have made you glad from within. The things without are uncovered, and now you see them for what they really are. All these things are as the dung of cattle. Now count them all lost, for I give you myself as an exceeding and great reward. Now count my value if you can. You cannot count the sand of the sea, neither the stars of heaven then how and by what instrument will you count my value?

I am immeasurable, but I am approachable. I am immeasurable, but I am accessible. Count all these trials joy, and mark every disappointment down as peace, for I have used these things as foundations for right attitudes and right expressions of holy character. Do not forget the teachings of grace, for I have settled the issues by allowing the sufferings which have come. Be not a forgetful hearer, but be quick to remember the teaching of my love, which has chastened and produced joyous sufferings. Come and worship, for I am the Lord who changes not. Come and drink of waters that are fresh and not stale. Come and skip as the young ram on the mountain top. I have brought you to the mountain of the last days. Look over the horizon of the end times, and see that the light was always shining even before there was a world. The creation of the world did not bring me into existence, but I am the light which created all that is created.

Look unto me again, and see that I am easily beheld to those whom I reveal myself unto. Behold the dust of the last days and the horses and riders of the end times. Worship now, for there cometh the hour when peace shall be no more, for I will take peace from the earth. Prepare to leave with the Prince of peace, for there is none other.

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?
