Daily Bread - February 5, 2004

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 am carrying you behind the line of the enemy's stronghold. Look and see that he has no foundation to stand upon. He only has deception as a weapon. Deception has sent forth lust and pride as easy targets for ignorant hunters of flesh-loving people who seek to be wise. Allow the law of the spirit of life to speak to you. You need not be drawn before the stones and the rocks of judgment. I have already gone there for you. Instead of the stones of judgment for your sins, I have invited you to sit with me in heavenly places in Christ, and enjoy the exceeding riches of my grace. Love me with all your heart, and all of the weapons of deception will lose their appeal. In my bosom, there is no lust for the wisdom of the world, neither is there any pride to hang yourself on.

Grace has leaped into your life. It has embraced you and led you past many being destroyed. Allow your heart to shout, and sing praises for the salvation that has kept you while the mighty are fallen. Rejoice not that they are falling but rather be grateful that grace was received when the fall came. Grace is my reward in this life, and love is your security if you love me. Peace is your stability while death and confusion plan to destroy the unstable souls of the hour. Joy is an undefiled river of fresh water in your soul while sadness and grief have become the sewer for those who hate me. While the instruments of spiritual adultery are fashioned and aimed to bind you to weak human ability, grace has led you beside the still waters of peace and love. Remain in these arms of love, and you will not hear the voice of weak human emotions as they express worthless words that shall fail on every corner.

I have given you fresh water to drink and fresh bread to eat. I have given you healing from the wings of the Sun of Righteousness. I grant you a healing in your mind that the wave of lust and pride, from this last effort of the princes of this world, snare you not. Think not that you can do it of yourself, but only by my grace and my power, can this be accomplished.

Jeremiah 15:16

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
