Daily Bread - March 27, 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.

A light in a dark place is available to all those who call for the light. You have called for a light in your dark places. Know that the light that you have called for is present, and I shall shine in the darkness of your life that the glory of my name might be the radiant expression of your life and glorify me, your Father who is in heaven. Let not evil be spoken of your good; therefore, redeem the time, and do nothing for vain glory. The deception of the prince of the power of the air works with exceeding, great deception. Those who love not the truth shall be persuaded by the magnetic power of the prince of the power of the air.

Yield your total being unto me, and express the love you say you have for me with all that is within you. Do not hold back the expression of your love from me, for I desire to be a recipient of the flow of the expression of love. Do not tell me that you love me and then do the contrary. Go and glorify me in your body and in your deeds. Many say with their lips that they love me and do not honor me with their hearts and their deeds.

I am the Lord, and I have not changed, neither will I change. I have brought forth the unchanging love of my own nature and placed it within you. Now allow love's expression to change you. This love is a burning iron that shall brand you forever. The mark of my love shall make you different and brand you as my own in deed and in nature. I place the firebrand of my love upon your heart, and the singeing of this expression shall place on the walls of your heart a brand new spiritual identity within you. I hold the firebrand to your heart for a while, and you shall know that I have branded you as my own and placed more than a mark of love upon your heart. I have now taken the ownership into full possession that your works might be unto my glory and not unto yourself or another. I will not give my glory unto another; therefore, I change you totally to prepare you for the right frame of mind. I will give you the grace to humble yourself under my mighty hand that you be not lifted with pride and self-exaltation.

Come nearer, and allow me to place the brand of my name upon you. Prepare to suffer for my name, for all men hate you because of my name. I have said that you shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. This is not an idle expression in my word. These words are words of reality that shall cause you to know that everyone who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Also, know that you shall reign with me in honor, and in the face of adversity, you shall be a strong bulwark without flaws and the graffiti of the world.

Be known of me by ceasing from the works of iniquity. Boast not of your sins, nor of your own works. Work the works of righteousness, and cease from the works of iniquity. Then shall I say, "I know you," and then will you be truly known of me. I shall bring you to the places of my banner, and you shall place the banner of my victory upon the hills of salvation round about you.

Come and taste of what I have for you, and know that I remain sweeter than the honeycomb and brighter than the noonday sun. Come and I will make you shine as a bright light. Come and know that the light is here to make a way in the darkness. You shall not simply slip through the darkness. You shall run through it without hindrance from the hands of the darkness and its influence. Stand and see the salvation of the Lord that I will show unto you this day. Stand and see, for I will show you my mighty hand.

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?
