CHILDREN'S BREAD

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.

A New Meal: The Bread of Rest Instead of the Bread of Tears

I have led you into a fertile pasture where there is fresh water and green grass. Come and drink from the fresh stream of living water that is here. I have considered your thirst and your hunger. I know what you need before you ask for it, however, that does not restrict you from asking for what you need. Do not fear the things that you imagine about this new environment. Come and drink without fear. I have not led you into a pasture filled with vipers and snakes. The good shepherd chose this place. I am the great Shepherd, the chief Shepherd who will give crowns of glory that will not fade away. You were as sheep going astray and have now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. Rest in the chosen place of the Lord, your God. I have not made a mistake in selecting this place of rest. I brought you into this valley to give you rest from the night seasons of war and struggle. I have considered your need of rest from the vicious war for the territory that I have brought you into. There are new plants in this pasture. They are for your nourishment. You need new strength. I have considered all that you need. Remember that your sufficiency is not of yourself. Come and eat from my hand. I have planned a meal for you that is not selected by your own desires and cravings. The Lord of the pasture has selected this meal. I am walking with you as you eat from my hand. Eat in confidence having total trust in my choices for you. Though you have not eaten from these new experiences, when you eat from them, fresh vitality shall enter into your life. Taste and see that I am good also. Eat and notice that you already feel revitalized.

The good word of the Lord is flowing like the mighty water from a mighty waterfall. This word is pure and undefiled. It is alive and without the putrefaction of man's words. These words are spirit and they are life. The living word has entered into your life this day and supplied you with comfort in your affliction. The living word has revitalized you. This is not a cluster of man's words. These are the words of eternal life that I give unto you. I am the Father, the Shepherd of Israel. My strength has been stirred up, and I have come with the great right arm of salvation to lead you beyond the plains of battle. I have fed you with the bread of tears and given you tears to drink in great measure. Now I am turning your life so that you might behold my shining face of great peace and mighty salvation. The good word is nigh you, even in your mouth and in your heart. It is the word of faith. Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus. Believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead. With your heart, you believe unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. The good word of the Lord has brought hearing whose fruit is faith. You did not seek me, but I was made manifest unto you. You did not ask for me, neither did you stretch your hands out for me. I have placed blessings into your hands that you did not reach for. You did not extend yourself for the kind of blessings in your hands now. You have things that eye have not seen and ear have not heard. You have things that have not been installed into the heart of man. I have brought you into this good place to install the deep things of God. I know the things of man. No man knows the things of God. The Spirit of God only knows them. I have given you the Spirit, which is of God that you may know the things that are freely given to you of God. These are the things that I speak. Now allow the Holy Ghost to teach you in this good pasture of freshness.

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?

Amos 3: 7 - 8
