Daily Bread - No 2 - Picky Eaters 9/22/2011

Man shall not live from bread alone but from every Word that proceeds from the Mouth of God. The Word of God, the Bread of Life is Jesus Christ Himself as He declared and it is written in John 6:35. Jesus said to them , "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I say to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe. Dear friends, Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life and His Words are the Words of Life. His Words are not accepted by many, they are rejected. When Jesus said to them, I read from verse 54 He said: "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.” When He said those Words they could not accept it. And they said as I read in verse 60 "Many therefore of His disciples, when they heard this said, "This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?" :61 But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble? Many of His disciples did not want to walk with Him anymore. Dear friends, today also, many do not walk with Jesus because the Words of Jesus are hard Words, they cut the flesh to pieces. Many people will not listen to the Holy Spirit that Jesus sent. Because Jesus did not leave us as orphans. He sent us the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth to lead us and to teach us. But most believers are picky eaters. They don’t want Jesus, they don’t want the Words of Jesus. They don’t want to listen to that which the Holy Spirit tells them. They want to pick and choose. They want to open the Bible and they want to read the Words that suit them and they want to twist them and apply them in the way that is acceptable to them. They don’t want the Words of Jesus. Dear friends, if we want Life, then we must eat the Bread of Life. We must accept the Words that Jesus sends to us by the Holy Spirit. That is why we need to wait on Him, we need to listen, we need to be guided by the Holy Spirit. If we are picky eaters we will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Because those who are picky are disobedient, they do not want to hear the truth, they don’t want to follow Jesus, they don’t want to EAT the Bread of Life. If you want Life, you’ve got to wait on the Lord, you’ve got to listen to the Holy Spirit and He will guide you into all truth. Because He will take from Christ and give unto us, He will guide us into that which our Master wants to convey to us. Jesus Christ Himself is the Bread of Life. Are you eating that Bread? Do you eat what He gives you to eat? Do you LISTEN to the voice of the Holy Spirit and do you OBEY or are you a picky eater? Don’t you want to eat what the Lord gives you to eat? He will convict us of sin, righteousness and judgment. And very often the Words of the Holy Spirit hurt us, they grieve us because they cut the flesh but they lead us unto Life. Man will not live from Bread alone but from every WORD that proceeds from the Mouth of God through His Holy Spirit. If we eat the Bread we will live, if we are picky eaters we will not live dear friends. Are you accepting what the Holy Spirit of God is speaking to you every day? May Jesus bless you.
