Daily Bread - August 3, 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.

You have waited on me. I have waited on you. Have you not read that the violent take it by force?

I have given you power over serpents, over scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. When will you rise up and use the power within you?

The enemy taxes the people of God every day with things that they do not have to be taxed with because they do not exercise their rights as the children of God. I have given you power. You have power against unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. The kingdom of heaven is in the earth. It is within you. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out devils. Do you believe my word?

Rise up, and exercise your rights as a citizen of heaven. Go and cast out these things that have hindered you, for I am in you to confirm the words that you speak. The word within you is powerful. Speak my word with power. You have power over all evil and everything in the earth. Open your mouth, and tell the devil to cease his talk and to hold his peace. Command him to withdraw his hand from your situation and to come out of your business. You have been hindered long enough. There is work that needs to be done. Open your mouth, and speak the words that I place in your mouth. The devils know who I am. It is time that they know who you are. Command them to come out and to hold their peace.

The power of the Lord is present to deliver you. Speak the word, and I will confirm it. Rejoice not that you have power over the devils, but rejoice that your name is written in heaven. Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you. Unless I give it from above, no power at all can be against you. I have placed power in your possession; therefore, exercise the power given you. You have watched as a spectator long enough. Now become a part of the war. The violent take it by force. You are not without power. Rise up, and seize that which is yours. Press your way into that which I have freely given to 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?
