Daily Bread - February 16, 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 come that you might have life. Abundant life has already been given to you. Remove it from the shelf of your life, and spend it as I direct you. You have subscribed to unbelief long enough. Now cancel your subscription to this skepticism that arrives daily in your life. Be careful for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. The peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. I have given you faith. Now walk by it. The faith that I have given is empowered by love. Refuse to walk by sight and feelings. The other Gentiles walk in the vanity of their minds, for they have their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their heart.

Deceitful lust will attempt to empower you through your emotions. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man, which after God, is created in righteousness and true holiness. You have not learned Christ as a Christ who is empowered by lust and driven by emotions. The just shall live by faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Rhema of God. You shall live by every Rhema that proceeds out of my mouth. I gave you the Rhema of God. Now why are you living by your feelings and by your sight?

Do not give place to the devil. If you continue to walk by your feelings and by your sight, you will have a mouth filled with corrupt communication. I have called you to speak that which is good to the use of edifying that it may minister grace unto the hearers. You grieve me, the Holy Spirit, by the voice of unbelief that you allow to speak in you. I sanctified your heart and mouth. Now why allow this evil speaking to be spoken through sanctified lips?

Your tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Whose name are you signing to the document of unbelief that arrived in your life today?

Do not sign my name to this evil report, for I will not sanction the things that come from your evil heart of unbelief. You will depart into yonder desert of destruction if you continue to give consent and approval to the things that unbelief sends into your mind. I have given you precious promises. Are you agreeing with what I have promised and told you to do, or are you opposed to my will for your life?

Withdraw your name from the publication and service of the devil. Cancel his periodicals that arrive in your life every day. You are paying precious riches for worthless information that is so plentiful on the airwaves of evil. Tune into faith's voice in this hour where evil has launched major campaigns to increase their number of subscribers to unbelief's publications. By the words of your mouth, you have sent others a subscription to unbelief. How will you name the name of Christ if you are a peddler of unbelief?

The foundation of God stands sure. Everyone that names the name of Christ departs from iniquity. If you desire to be a vessel of honor, speak the things that I have said lest you reserve a place for yourself among fools. Purge yourself from the inspiration of unbelief and then will you guarantee a position with the vessels of honor, sanctified, meet for my use, and prepared unto every good work. How will you endorse faith and unbelief?

The tongue is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Out of the same mouth should not precede blessing and cursing. Does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

A fig tree does not bear olive berries. A grape vine does not yield figs, and a fountain cannot yield salt water and fresh water. I placed you on a true vine and planted you as a choice vine. How is it that you are not bearing the grapes of faith?

I planted you a noble vine, a right seed. How then are you turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?

You shall be known by the fruit that you bear. You are a good tree. Now bring forth the good fruit of faith. A corrupt tree brings forth the evil fruit of unbelief. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?" And then will I profess unto them, "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." What will you hear me say unto you, "Enter in my good and faithful servant, or depart from me, ye worker of iniquity?"

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?
