Daily Bread - February 24, 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.

The Melody of Salvation Is In Harmony With the Tune Played by the Apostles; Therefore, Take Up the Trumpet of Truth, and Play the Same Tune

I have given you life and that more abundantly. Do not bargain with the enemy at the gate and exchange the life that I have given you for the empty package that is being offered. You have tried the spirits at the door. Now beware lest you are led away with the error of the wicked and fall from your own steadfastness. Continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Not everyone that says unto me, "Lord, Lord," is hearing my voice. There are many voices, and none of them are without signification. The voice of antichrist is speaking loudly in this hour. I have shortened the days. If I had not, no flesh would be saved, but for the elect's sake, which I have chosen, I have shortened the days.

Many voices beckon people to come into the empty chambers of idolatry. Follow them not, neither be enticed by the glamour of recognition. I have said, "Be ye holy as I am holy." I have not changed my mind and gone in a different direction. Forsake not the ancient landmarks of truth. I have not devised a different plan for saving mankind. Read the words of Paul, and live by them. Paul did not compromise with the false teachers of his day but rather reproved them. He reproved them because I instructed him to do so. He labored with me in building my body. I have not changed, neither will I change. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I am the Lord, and I change not. Paul's message is the message for this hour and this time. Take up the trumpet of truth, and play your tune of truth in this hour. Do not play another melody because the hearers reject the melody played by you. You are ordained to play the melody of salvation that harmonizes with the apostles of the early church. The discord played by the false apostles and deceitful workers, who have transformed themselves into the apostles of Christ, is being declared from every point on the globe. Do not marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light; therefore, it is no great thing that his ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.

Pray, "Lead me not into temptation, and deliver me from evil and the evil one." Make this a part of your daily prayer. Deception is rampant. As the serpent beguiled Eve, so are deceiving spirits beguiling people today. Through great subtlety, they seek to corrupt minds from the simplicity that is in Christ. Remember, if he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom you have not preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with him.

Stand fast in the truth. It has made you free. Now be not entangled with the yoke of bondage at your door. Speak to the enemy in the gate, and press on toward the mark for the high calling of God that is in Christ Jesus. Go, for I am with you until the end of the age.

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?
