Daily Bread - March 13, 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.

Behold the way of the world, and note its devastation to come. All that is in the world is the lust of eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. Man has gambled all that he has and thrust it into a ship of self-confidence that is propelled by his own lust and pride. His calamity looms on the horizon lurking in the cold dark waters of death. His own deceitful heart blinds him. The darkness of his own heart does not provide him with a vision of clarity; therefore, death remains hidden in the waters of his own sins. With full confidence in self and the achievements propelled by his pride of life, man journeys further into the waters of death without me.

Go and preach the gospel of Christ, for it is the only light that can enable man to see. Man is detached from me. He must be connected to me. Man must be reconciled unto me, the true light. I must reach them. I have chosen the gospel as the means by which they are reached. Only the light will enable them to see the icebergs of cold love in the waters of sin all about them. They are headed on a collision course with these icebergs. Remember the Titanic.

Time is short. The laborers are few. I am sending more laborers into the harvest to carry the light of the glorious gospel unto perishing souls. Arise and go preach. The hour is late and time is spent farther than you perceive. Arise and go preach the gospel everywhere to every creature. Do not allow the great falling away of brothers and sisters to affect you or your zeal to win the lost. Do not be distracted from my purpose, which is to seek and to save those who are lost. If you could have been on the Titanic and beheld the perishing souls who did not have lifeboats as a refuge then you would understand the urgency of the hour. Familiarize yourself with the history of the Titanic, and you will have a different view of your purpose. Come away with me in the spirit, and behold the people of that ship screaming as the terror of death grips them with its cold teeth of surety. Behold the fear on their faces. I have sent you with the lifeboat of the gospel. Will you carry it to them or will you stand detached from the purpose as they perish without a lifeboat?

Go and preach the gospel. Souls are perishing while you are waiting to make the decision to obey. You must redeem the time, for the hour is much later than you perceive.

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?
