Bread of Heaven Devotional

Someone is at a place where you need to make a decision. Will I run or will I stay? Should I continue or look for a better way? Before you make a move out of haste, perhaps you should ask Holy Spirit what His plans are. He doesn't mind answering your hearts cry on any given day. But how will you know if you never ask? "How do I know"; you might say. The Word of God says that His Word is a light to our path and a lamp to our feet. Open your Word and allow the scriptures to freely speak. Look up verses that pertain to what you're in need of and ask Holy Spirit to reveal the secrets of His heart. He will provide just what you need to get through. Now breathe, trust Him to bring your mind to rest and peace, and with patience wait on it. For it will surely come to past. Now, remember ALWAYS to,

You Are Not Alone

 

Press Into My Presence

by June Reinke

Press into My presence, says the LORD.  Come empty and hungry.  Thirst for ME, the living GOD.  Desire Me and seek My face!  Do not become satisfied with left over anointing!  I have fresh oil for you.  Do not eat stale bread. I have fresh bread for you to eat!  I will satisfy the hungry and refresh the thirsty.  I will not turn you away or give you a sip or teaspoon or crumb just to tease you. I will fill you to capacity and overflowing with My Holy Spirit and My power, and give you unspeakable joy, says the LORD.

Let Me give you everything that you need and be your total source, says the LORD.  For I have so much more for you than you can even fathom or contain.  I have more for you than you have asked or imagined.  I WILL DO more for you than you even thought.  For I desire to bless you and give you pleasures forevermore in My presence. I will lavish you with My love and surprise you with hidden treasures that will cause you to be amazed. It is pleasurable for Me to show you My faithfulness and load you with benefits.  It is My desire to take care of you and give you all things to enjoy.  I desire to be with you and fellowship with you.  My joy is exceeding as you seek Me with all your heart, and you be fully satisfied with My love, says the LORD.

Small Staws in a Soft Wind

by Marsha Burns:

Carefully consider your options for change.  Use discernment in finding help to achieve your goals.  Most of the people you encounter will be more concerned about what they can gain by helping you than caring about your interests.  Put your trust in Me to lead you in the way you should go.  I will take you through obstacles that would subvert your efforts, says the Lord.  

Psalms 32:8 

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

The Word in Isaiah 1:18 gives us pardon for our sins [wrongful thinking, ungodly actions, waywardness]. The word that makes this a but and if clause is "come". This means we must take up our cross [whatever weighs us down, issues we face, whatever we carry in our hearts and mind] and make a conscious decision to move forward.

"Come now, let us reason together...Isa 1: 18)

And "if" we are willing and obedient "then" we will eat the good of the land; vs. 19. This doesn't mean to the letter of the law. For if we live by the letter we will be judged [also] by it. But if we use the wisdom of God in our daily walk and seek Him through the understanding of His Word, what we ask for we will receive guidance in which direction He would have us to take. We will know if our will lines up with His and if our desires align with the plans preconceived for our life. Invite Him in your decision's today. See won't He lead and guide you in all truth.

Matthew 16:24

Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Isaiah 1:18-19

[18] "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. [19] If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land

Galatians 2:19-20

[19] For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God [20] I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

James 1:5

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

John 16:13

However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

Holy Spirit you are welcome in the secret place of my heart. Come do what you want to do. Let there be a Holy fire come into the hearts of your people. Father, overwhelm us with your love for we are loved by you. Let no false doctrine or religion take control of what the Holy Spirit wants us to subdue. You are present. Holy Spirit have your way.

Dearly Beloved, I desire to sup with you. I want to communicate my love. I want to communicate my plans. But you must still your heart. Take hold of my peace for it is available to all who would come. I have called you to this place of true surrender. So cast aside murmuring and do not be ashamed. Walk after the sumilitudes of Holiness and make righteousness your armor of truth. Be santified through the washing of my spirit. For I have loved you and am ready to do a new thing in and through your life. Submit your will. Drop your guard. And declare my peace. 

 

Change of Thought

Take control of your life. By changing what you say, thought pattern, and even people who add stress to your day. If you find yourself thinking  something that brings on stress, then stop, take a deep breath, and think on something joyful. Do not give negativity the time of day. Relax your mind and think on something new. That which brings joy to heart. No more stress or boggling thoughts. Only positive vibes. Now breathe and know everything will be okay.

Be Not Moved

Ladies,

People will try their best to get the best of you but we must recognize it for what it is; a bullying spirit. How do you overcome a person of this nature? With kindness, love, and boldness in who you are. No, don't be a pushover but learn which battles need to be fought and the weapon to use while fighting them. Now, remember ALWAYS to,

Father wants us to have faith in all things. Have faith that what He promised He will bring to pass. Not only tangible [things seen] but intangibles; in realms of the heavenlies. No longer earthbound in what we see. Through grace justified by faith in our covenant relationship with Savior Lord; Jesus the Christ. We are heirs and joint-heirs with Him. So we no longer fight from positions to [win the] victory but to victory we have [already] overcome -- through the blood of the Lamb and words of our testimony.

Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

Exercise your will to discipline your thoughts and emotions.  You have the ability to bring yourself under control--even under the control of My Spirit, says the Lord.  Only from that position will you find peace and a sense of well-being.  Quiet your soul, and let Me lead you out of turmoil and sorrow.  I am your help in times of trouble.  Psalms 9:9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

What's Done is Done

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

What's done is done! There is nothing you can change about what you have endured. It is now time for you to rise up out of the dead ashes of the past and begin to move forward on the path that I have chosen for you, says the Lord. What you have learned will serve you well.

Philippians 3:13-14
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,  I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

The Light Shines Through

THE TRUMPET

 by BILL BURNS:

Watch for My light to break forth into your life. And, if you receive My light, then your light will begin to shine in a fresh, new way. The glory of the light that shines within you will awaken your spirit, and you will begin to overcome those things that have been established and set against you. If you allow My Spirit to lead you, you will overcome the deeds of the flesh and the challenges of this life. It is My purpose for you to excel in the power of My Kingdom. Let this day be a day of new beginnings for you.
