"satisfy them with the bread of heaven"
Dealing my Bread Joel 2:15-16 "15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:16
Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let
the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet" Fast = 1) (Hebrew
= Qal) to abstain from food, fast. The primary idea lies in the mouth being shut. Metaphoric: to abstain from speaking vanity;
but rather speaking of Christ. John 6:39-40 "39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of
all which he hath given me I lose nothing, but raise it up again at the last day.40 And this is the will of him that sent
me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day" Verse 40 " this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, have
everlasting life" Do you see the Lord Jesus when you read or hear the word "bread" from the Scriptures? If
you do, God has given you the true Bread from heaven; and if you do not, that can only means one thing: you are either blind
or dead. The Lord Jesus Christ came to do His Father will, He came to fast, so He was dealing bread with God's chosen people,
and this is my desire too. Isaiah 58:5-11 "5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict
his soul? To bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable
day to the LORD?6 not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to
let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?7 Not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor
that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine
own flesh?8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness
shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou
shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and
speaking vanity;10 And thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in
obscurity, and thy darkness as the noonday:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought,
and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not" Verse
7, "Not to deal thy bread to the hungry?" This bread is the Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior.
John 6:31-35,
40,47-48 "31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.32 Then
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you
the true bread from heaven.33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.34
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh
to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst" "40 And this is the will of him that sent
me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day"
"47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.48 I am that bread of life" Isaiah
58:7 is a commandment that the Lord Jesus Christ gives to His dicisples that they must do if they love Him: "To deal
my Bread" I proclaim what Christ has done for my soul. John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments"
John 15:10 "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and
abide in his love" There is commandment for God's chosen people and we can only do it in the power of the Holy
Ghost and is found in Proverbs 25:21-22 and Romans 12:20
Proverbs 25:21-22 "21 If thine enemy be hungry, give
him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the
LORD shall reward thee"
Romans 12:20 "Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him
drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head"
Who is my enemy? I have found that
many Christians are my enemies and anybody else that does not know God's Salvation. What makes them my enemies?
Many hold or believe in a false Christ (freewill of man doctrine) a Christ begging man to believe in him; they do not know
nor understand God's Salvation.
How do I know they are hungry and thirsty? I ask people if they know or read
the Word of God or I see the Bible on hand.
Lets look an example of a chosen man of God giving water to his enemy: Acts
8:26-39 "26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth
down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great
authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to
worship,28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near,
and join thyself to this chariot.30 And Philip ran thither to, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest
thou what thou readest?31 And he said, How can I, except some man guide me? And he desired Philip that he come up and sit
with him.32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb
before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his
generation? for his life is taken from the earth.34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh
the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached
unto him Jesus.36 And as they went on way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, water; what doth hinder
me to be baptized?37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water,
both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught
away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing"
Can you see the Lord Jesus
Christ is the Water in these Scriptures? If you do, blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous have desired to see which ye see, and have not seen; and to hear
which ye hear, and have not heard"
What does the chariot in verse 38 represent? They are in the security
of God's Salvation. Habukkuk 3:8 "Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? thine anger against the rivers?
thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses, thy chariots of salvation?
What do verses 38
and 39 mean with: they went down both into the water and when they were come up out the water? John 10:7-9 "7 Then
said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.8 All that ever came before me are
thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall
go in and out, and find pasture"
Can you hear the Chief Shepherd? John 10:27-30 "27 My sheep hear
my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall
any pluck them out of my hand.29 My Father, which gave me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck out of my Father's
hand.30 I and Father are one" 1 Peter 5:4 "And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown
of glory that fadeth not away" Have you found green pasture? I am fasting and dealing my bread and water for God's
Glory. Success = Knowing the will of God and doing it. Psam 47:7 " For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises
with understanding"
PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
