Fresh Bread
My beloved. Do not feel condemned by those who prefer their bread old
and stale, and who criticize you for wanting fresh bread.
Do not be discouraged in your search, for I have put this desire in
your hearts. Desire for freshness. Desire for taste.
See I have fresh bread for you each and every day. It is taken right
from Heaven; hot, filling the air with wonderful aromas, extremely
tasty and rich in nutrients. It is for you, My children. If is fresh
each day, as you come and spend time with Me. Take and eat.
[Admin Note: This word is what is called an allegory type of word,
where it is meant to be taken figeratively rather
than interpreted literally. In this case, God is not
really talking what type of physical bread we eat.
The bread represents a person's spiritual substance
and nurishment, or how they relate to God.
Old bread is those who prefer the old-style or "status
quo" type of relationship with God that is rather
distant and is based primarily on us trying to please
Him through our conduct and seeing Him as distant and
almost unapproachable. The new bread is a deep and
intimate relationship with God, deeply personal and
alive. It is what Jesus referred to as "worshipping God
in Spirit and in truth" in John 4.
In this word, God is saying that He refers a deep
intimate personal relationship with us, over one that
is rules-based, formal and distant. And He is inviting
us to press in for a deeper personal relationship with
Him. He wants to meet us personally as we press in to get
to know Him better.]
