Daily Bread - February 7, 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.

I have not left you at the feet of an idol to pray to a god that cannot hear, see, or talk. I have drawn you before my throne of grace and granted you access into my presence by sanctified blood. You are not your own, neither should you desire to be. Your life was wasted and damned, but today you have a new life in me. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad. I have redeemed you and brought you out of bondage. Now you abide in marvelous light. Be thankful.

Look upon the field, and see the multitudes that are waiting on the gospel. Judge not whether there is readiness in them. Simply go, and sow the word. Preach the gospel, and trust in me and my word. I am laboring with you; therefore, plant and water. I will give the increase. Weary not yourself with how the work will be accomplished. Go and be assured that you are blessed. I have placed a kingdom within you; therefore, look not here and there for my presence. With my presence, love has come to you. Love shall guarantee a fulfillment of my promises to you. The hypocrites will not hinder my work. My work is an effectual work that cannot be hindered or aborted. You are my workmanship, and I will take care of you. Be not tempted to worry. Keep showing me your faith, and I will show you great and mighty things that you do not know.

Go forth to serve and to minister to the people, not to be ministered to. The works of the spirit do not demand service from others, but the works of the spirit are aimed at pleasing others and glorifying God. Allow me to continue the work in you that your eyes be free of specks and beams. I have brought you to this place in life to manifest the grace of God to the hungry and the thirsty. Now allow my love to shine that my glory might be seen. I have shown you the simplicity of prayer. I have demonstrated it in the spirit and allowed you to become sensitive to my voice. Now go, and teach others to pray. Not everyone will understand. Not everyone will learn, but be not discouraged. I know those who are mine, and I will take care of you in the times of rejection. All men will not receive you, but doubt not because of the rejecters of truth. I have chosen this as a medium of understanding also. Rise up, and follow me in the way of truth and holiness.

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?
