If He Asks For Bread?

Luke 11:11, “If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?...”

As Christians, what do we have to give to a desperate and pain-ridden world? What do we have to offer the starving, the lost, the dying humanity all around us? Can we observe the horrific battle that takes place in our presence each and every day? Do we see the joyless faces among us, the empty stares, the emptiness of soul?

Where has their light gone? Proverbs 15:30, “The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.” The condition of the heart and soul shines through the eyes but may not be evident to the casual observer. Can we be more than a casual observer or will we continue with business as usual? Can we see precious souls in the conflict of their lives and be an instrument for their Divine encounter? True ministry, Holy Spirit ministry will always include a Divine encounter otherwise it is only an expression of religious habit!

Jesus said in John 6:32, “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.” The spiritually emaciated world is in need of the Living Bread! What then shall we do? We will give them the true Bread of Life. We will give them Jesus!

Jesus is our Beginning and He will be our End. He is our Sustainer of Life. He is our Provider and constant Companion. Though we pass through this intense darkness, He is our Light and our Salvation. We may not know the next step to take but He is our Guide and will give us perfect Peace in the turmoil. He will speak to this storm and declare “PEACE BE STILL” to all who will put their trust in Him. He restores the strength of the soul and causes us to rise up on wings as an eagle. He makes us soar high above the conflict in this world, separated from the darkness and the struggle. His Light dispels the darkness! The struggle or battle is the Lord’s! Isaiah 26:3, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”

He will keep us in the hollow of His hand and nothing can pluck us from His saving grace. That is the power of His abiding presence. Power to push back against the evil and darkness that has captured the innocence of life and destroyed so many precious souls. The power of His presence in us enables us to declare in the Name of Jesus, “YOU SHALL PROCEED NO FURTHER.” There is power in the Name of Jesus over all that comes against us. As He abides in us and us in Him, He will vanquish every foe and make us triumph over every evil plan of the enemy. Oh! Victory in Jesus! He is our Savior forever! He will keep us in perfect peace as our focus is on Him! That Peace is our total Freedom Forever! Amen!

John 6:33, “For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world...35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger;” If they ask for bread, will you give them a stone? Give them the Bread which you have received from God, the Bread of God which comes down from heaven, and gives Life unto the world. Give them Jesus! He is the Bread of Life!
