BREAD OF LIFE

EMBRACE THE BREAD OF LIFE

When as a child, there were many wonderful memories of the family gatherings where we would come and share a meal together prepared by my father, William of whom many called him, “Bill.”

Preparation For The Bread

He would awaken early in the morning, and begin the process of prepping the ingredients that would go into a wonderful holiday meal. Tirelessly, he would sit at the dining room table, peeling potatoes, onions, carrots, celery and other produce. Then, he would mix the ingredients together, to make various delicious meals of which him known proudly for.

I remember fondly the various breads he would prepare for his family and those he loved. The bread would be made by hand, using flour, salt, yeast and other ingredients. The delicious smells of fresh bread permeated the home and made the atmosphere so comfortable and welcoming.

Sharing Of The Bread

Because of my father, and of my relationship with him, and the genuine selfless love he gave our family, I was able to fully embrace God the Father into my life, and have a relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit has always been welcomed into my home wherever I resided during my life as He is truly my comforter.

During this season of Christmas and the special Holy Days, may we reflect on those things that bring the desire to know Jesus Christ more into our own lives on a daily basis. We all are to be walking with Him on a daily basis, embracing Him fully and accepting the freshness of life, the renewal, restoration, revival that He can bring to the table.

United In Agape Love For The Bread

May we all come together, believer’s united in this hour, joining hands and hearts afresh lifting up our praises and thanksgiving to the lover of our lives; that is, Jesus Christ. He is the Bread of Life. Behold, He came to make things new! Let us be renewed in Him in this hour. Hold nothing back, but let your “Yes” be a “Yes!” with all boldness, excitement and power as in Him we obtain victory in this life.

May The Bread of Life Reside In Your Heart’s, Home and Hearth This Day.

Have a blessed, enriched and beautiful season to all my family, friends, and followers. We are embarking on a season of new winds of change. May we be sensitive to the beautiful aroma of Him.

Oh, Taste And See That The Lord Is Good!

Taste and See that the LORD is Good
…7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them. 8Taste and see that the LORD is good;blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! 9Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.…

Berean Study Bible · Psalm 34:7-9

John 6:25-59 (NIV)

Jesus the Bread of Life

²⁵When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

²⁶Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. ²⁷Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”

²⁸Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

²⁹Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

³⁰So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? ³¹Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’^[a]”

³²Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. ³³For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

³⁴“Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”

³⁵Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.³⁶But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. ³⁷All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. ³⁸For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. ³⁹And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me,but raise them up at the last day. ⁴⁰For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

⁴¹At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” ⁴²They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”

⁴³“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. ⁴⁴“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. ⁴⁵It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’^[b] Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. ⁴⁶No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. ⁴⁷Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. ⁴⁸I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. ⁵⁰But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. ⁵¹I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

⁵²Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

⁵³Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. ⁵⁴Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. ⁵⁵For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.⁵⁶Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. ⁵⁷Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. ⁵⁸This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” ⁵⁹He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

Agape Love

OPEN DOOR MISSION

Agape Love

Now is the demarcation of Light and Agape Love versus Darkness and Sin.

Choose this day wisely the life of love. Embrace all the gifts of the Spirit that He provides for they are given supernaturally by God.

Let us walk in a life-style of AGAPE LOVE of perfected mature love. Remember that perfect love casts our fear. Be this day not conformed to this world, that is dying. Choose death to self instead through by power of the Holy Spirit. Cherish each day renewed with a song of thanksgiving on our hearts. May we become selfless. The world, of which we reside, but are not a part of, moves in self-indulgence and greed. How are they, the world, and endless sea of humanity to know we are Christians? The answer is obvious; by our love.

Knock On God’s Door

Come out, the Laodicean church! Now is not the time to be lukewarm. No longer can a soul afford to sit on the middle of the fence. A choice must be made this day. No one is guaranteed a tomorrow.

Be Obedient To His Call

Give unto others. Joyfully bless many with what you have. Freely give, freely receive.

Choose to live your life more abundantly today.

Notes:

1. The fruit of the Spirit is the anointing of agape love.
2. The fruit of agape love is life.
3. The fruit of the flesh is sin.
4. The fruit of sin is death.

Multiplication Of Blessings In Obedience

MULTIPLICATION OF BLESSINGS IN OBEDIENCE

I HAD A DREAM

… I saw a woman carrying twins in her womb. Indeed, these are the days of the blessings of multiplication. Even in nature, evidence is shown if our eyes are open to see. I when out on a nature walk, saw two rabbits in the wild hopping in the brush.

BURNING BUSH

May the burning bush experience as written in Exodus Chapter Three manifest in our lives as was Moses. Let our eyes of our hearts be fully open to see the Glory of the Lord. We cry out for the Nations to arise and come to the House of the Lord. Seek Him often. Wild fire! Fire of the Holy Spirit, come! Come and cleanse us of all impurities and make us messengers of fire to spread the flame. May we be on fire in Him.

ACKNOWLEDGE HIM

Historically, our first President, George Washington, gave voice of his personal conviction that “it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God.”

Today, we are to always proceed thanksgiving to our Almighty God. Note the word, “proceed.”

SEED

Let us seed into other people and their lives while giving of praise and thanksgiving. That seed will multiply and bring forth a harvest. No seed is too small with a big heart.

“From them will proceed thanksgiving And the voice of those who celebrate; And I will multiply them and they will not be diminished; I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant.” Jeremiah 39:19

GREATER REALM

In Jesus, there is a greater realm of multiplication of miracles we may access by faith. God is calling us to come up higher in Him so that we have access by faith to unlimited healing and creative miracles in the name of Jesus. We must usher in the advancement of “His Kingdom come, His will be done on earth and as it us in Heaven” in this hour. May God use apostolic leaders from all over the world to come together as one united stream to achieve this call. Decree the release of deliverance, healing and blessings in the Church and of the lost. Our voices need to ignite in praise and worship. May every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. Now is the time for millions to come to His saving grace.

In Exodus, G_d spoke out of the Burning bush,

“14God said to Moses, “I-AM-WHO-I-AM. Tell the People of Israel, ‘I-AM sent me to you.’”

15God continued with Moses: “This is what you’re to say to the Israelites: ‘God, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob sent me to you.’ This has always been my name, and this is how I always will be known.” Exodus 3 :14-15 The Message Bible

Go!

Go out to the Nations and tell them, “I-AM” sent me to you. Yes, Now Is The Time.

LET OUR HEART’S CRY OUT

TO RISE AND SHINE

Rise and Shine

Awaken from your slumber O’ you people. May we be captured anew in the winds of fire in Him. He is our true desire. Oh my Lord, enrapture me in your Holy Love. Invade me God.

Winds of holy fire, come lift us up higher in the Spirit, O’ Lord.

Voice!

May we have the voice that rises up in us to the Throne of Mercy where God is seated for His Face to shine down upon us.

Let our voices sing in unison of crescendo. Our heart’s cry out, restore us, O God; cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved! Even in the midst of wars and of rumors of wars in this time of history, we have nothing to fear. Let our hearts cry out, “Yes!”

Oh, Jesus. My love. Holy Spirit, come! Arise within. Penetrate your love for me. Come to me, anew. Cover me with new life. A new dew, renewed. A refreshing cover enveloping me with the rains of blessings. Set my love as a seal on your heart.

Return!

Let us return to our first love. His Name is Jesus. The lover of our souls. Examine ourselves, and if there is any sin, may we be quick into repentance so that we are cleansed from all impurities and unrighteousness.

Forgive us O’ Lord for complacency in our lives. May we rise up! May we be on fire for You, Lord. Pour out, pour out, your Spirit upon us. Seeking you, seeking you. Rain down, rain down upon us.

Openness, openness to change. True change within. Guide our hearts, change our lives as we set our hearts with you. Wind of change, come. Blow on us now.

Seek!

Seek Him first and all His righteousness. Then ALL these things shall be added into you. My prayers to you, therefore, is to draw near to the love that is so dear.

Purify!

Cast away! Cast away, all sin within of known and unknown. Purify our hearts this day. Start afresh. Be renewed in our mind, body, soul and spirit.

Rain!

Rain of cleansing. Rain of refreshing, come. My love, my dove, O Holy One. My delight. Sweet divinity. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. Sweet and Holy and beautiful in Holiness. Let our heart’s cry out, “Yes.”

Prayer for Israel’s Restoration

To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“The Lilies.” A[b]Testimony of Asaph. A Psalm.

80 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
You who lead Joseph like a flock;
You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!
2 Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
Stir up Your strength,
And come and save us!

3 Restore us, O God;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

4 O Lord God of hosts,
How long will You be angry
Against the prayer of Your people?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears,
And given them tears to drink in great measure.
6 You have made us a strife to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves.

7 Restore us, O God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt;
You have cast out the [c]nations, and planted it.
9 You prepared room for it,
And caused it to take deep root,
And it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with its shadow,
And the [d]mighty cedars with its boughs.
11 She sent out her boughs to [e]the Sea,
And her branches to [f]the River.

12 Why have You broken down her [g]hedges,
So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?
13 The boar out of the woods uproots it,
And the wild beast of the field devours it.

14 Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts;
Look down from heaven and see,
And visit this vine
15 And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted,
And the branch that You made strong for Yourself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
17 Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.
18 Then we will not turn back from You;
Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

19 Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

Emergence Into Agape Love

AGAPE!

Agape Love Does Not Have Favorites. As Ambassadors To Christ, We Are To Love Everyone Equally. Phileo Love Is Not To Be The King In Our Life. People, We Need To Strive For Agape Love. Jesus Christ, Is The King Of Kings, And As We Know, We Are To Love The Lord Our God With All Of Our Heart, With All Our Soul, And With All Our Strength, And With All Of Our Mind, And Love Our Neighbor As Our Self.

We need to be made perfect in love. For the Word of God says, “perfect love drives out fear. ”

Agape And Phileo In Peter’s Restoration

We read in the Book of John Chapter 21 verses 15-17 about the Lord reinstating Peter due to him previously denying Jesus three times.

We need to move out of the feelings sort of love into more of spiritual love that is unconditional.

Our Spirit Needs To Rise Up And Embrace The New In Love.

We need to be selfless.

In today’s world, so many are caught up in selfies. Oftentimes, we reflect too much time and energy on “self” and not enough on the cares or needs of our brothers and sisters.

His Presence

Let us remember the days when as a child when opening a present, there was so much excitement seeing the unwrapping of a package to reveal the gift inside. We even were happy to watch another receive a gift. Can we be delighted for the beautiful gifts of His presence and of the spiritual He gives to our loved ones in Christ? We should display exuberance and delight in the unveiling of their gifts being made manifest for the world to see. We all have so much to give unto others.

Therefore, we need to step up to another level in our love. To love ourselves, yes. However, there has to be this emergence into loving others so unconditionally, as Christ loves His church. If we do this, we shall live a life more full than ever known.

So let us clap our hands and rejoice this day in one accord for this life indescribably so beautiful in Spirit no matter what is happening all around us, there is a strength so powerful and dynamic it brings forth JOY.

In His Love,

Apostle Rita Kay Whitt

Love Comes from God
…17In this way, love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world we are just like Him. 18There is no fear in love,but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love. 19We love because He first loved us.… 1 John 4:17-19

Berean Study Bible ·

John 21:15-17 15When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, LORD,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” 16Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, LORD, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” 17The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “LORD, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.

In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul places the greater emphasis on Charity (Love). “So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” He describes it as:

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away….And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. ” KJV

Delight The Heart Of God

DELIGHT THE HEART OF GOD

Let us arise.

Come up to the House of the Lord, and worship Him in Spirit and of Truth. After we awaken each morning, may there be a strong stirring in our heart to run after Jesus, the lover of our soul; giving of our first-fruits. King David was a delight to the heart of God because he loved Him with all his heart. There has to be something that moves within us to passionately seek Him at all times. May our spirit within arise and dance with delight to our God. Now is the time. No one is promised a tomorrow. Love for the House of God should be a high priority in our life. Are you seeking more of Him? Then love Him first with all your heart and soul. Then, may there be the expectation fulfilled of basking in His Spirit’s presence and glory.
