The
Word of God
is
spiritual food
and
must be eaten daily.
Yes,
our
daily bread,
the
bread of life,
is
the Word of God.
Jeremiah
15:16
Thy words were found,
and
I did eat them;
and
thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart:
for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
Ezekiel
2:9
And
when I looked,
behold,
an
hand was sent unto me;
and,
lo, a roll of a book was therein;
Ezekiel
3:3
And
he said unto me,
Son
of man,
cause
thy belly to eat,
and
fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee.
Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
Rev
10:10
And
I took the little book out of the angel's hand,
and
ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey:
and
as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Learning
and knowing the truth of God's Word is exciting
and
beautiful and the taste of truth is as sweet as honey!
But
when you have digested that knowledge and meditated upon it,
and
can see the stark reality of what is happening in this world and why,
it
can be pretty "gut wrenching", and thus is one form of bitterness.
But
there is another bitterness when you have eaten "truth".
And
that is,
be
prepared to suffer the bitterness of persecution as Christ would tell us:
Rev.
10:11
And
he said unto me,
Thou
must prophesy again before many peoples,
and
nations, and tongues, and kings.
"And
it shall come to pass in the last days,
saith
God,
I
will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh:
and
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.."
Acts
2:17
There
are some really exciting times just ahead of us!
And
those who have the seal of God in their foreheads,
who
have eaten the "little book", are going to be delivered up (Mk. 13)
and
give testimony,
i.e.
prophesy, during the 6th Trump.
It
will be bitter sweet,
though
we know we have the victory!
For
as we read in Acts 2:17 concerning the last days,
when
God pours out His Spirit,
there
shall be much prophesying,
and
His elect who have the seal of God in their foreheads
will
be delivered up and give testimony
"before
many peoples,
and
nations,
and
tongues,
and
kings",
just
as John was told in the last verse of chapter 10(Rev. 10:11).
