We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

On one hand we have to say that the kingdom has already arrived. Didn’t both Jesus and John the Baptist say, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Mt. 4:17)? If the kingdom represents God’s reign, it has indeed arrived. God told us in Colossians 1:13 that He has already, “Rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son?” I would like to believe that Jesus is reigning on the throne of each heart of each person that has received Him as their Lord. As Christians it’s His will over our self-will. It’s His lordship over our self-governance. It’s ultimate submission to Him as King over our self-reliance. It’s an invisible reign that is manifested in our loyalty to King Jesus. It’s the tiny mustard seed, as Jesus said, that will grow to be a massive plant. The King as a spiritual kingdom. Yet as Jesus reigns in our hearts we desire to see Him reign over the entire world – a physical kingdom. We long for the day when sin is not in, but rather when righteousness prevails. We long for the day when, Philippians 2, “Every knee will bow…and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Phil. 2:10-11).

Children of God... will you not bear witness, that, through all your trials and troubles, the faithfulness of your Savior's love has been the “very joy of your hearts?” You have had many crosses and losses – has He ever deserted you? You have been in severe afflictions, and have seen the flowers of many a “sweet hope” wither and decay – did your Friend desert you then? Others may have proved faithless – all other help may have failed you – friendship’s help, promised help, expected help – all, all may have been but as the foam upon the billow, as the footsteps in the sand – but, has Christ ever failed you? Could you, in the darkest and the saddest hour of your grief, say to Him? “Lord, You have promised what You did not perform.” Will you not bear witness concerning the past? – “Not one good thing has failed, of all that the Lord has promised – all has come to pass.”

INGREDIENTS

1 1/8 c Warm water
1 ts Dry yeast
1/3 c Dry milk
3 tb Honey
1 1/3 oz Butter; or margarine
1 c White flour
2 c Flour; whole-grain wheat

INSTRUCTIONS

This recipe is scaled for large bread machines. I recommend using the dough
cycle and baking the bread in an oven.
Put the ingredients into the bread machine and mix on the dough cycle. The
bread should be a little soft and sticky after the first knead, but whole
wheat flour will take up extra water as it rises.
At the end of the dough cycle, remove the bread dough and put it on a
lightly floured surface. Shape into about 4 small loaves, about 6 inches in
diameter on greased cookie sheets or oiled planks. Let rise until doubled
(this bread has a small amount of yeast in it and may rise slowly). Cut a
cross in the top of the loaves and allow to rise an additional 10-15
minutes. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes and reduce the heat to
325    for another 15 minutes.
Each loaf will serve 30-50 communicants. The bread freezes well sealed in
plastic bags.

A Message from our Provider:

“When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God. #Henry Blackaby”
