Last week, I saw a vision where the Lord Jesus was holding a large, intact loaf of bread in His hands, just waiting and smiling at me. Then He began to break off pieces and throw them up into the air, where they were caught in the wind and scattered across a larger area. It was really cool! This vision was confirmed the next day in the natural, because Vanessa and I started feeding our chickens old bread by hand, first breaking it up and then throwing it to them.
And the Lord also gave the knowing into the vision--what He was holding was our daily bread. He was breaking it up according to His will, and each piece of bread represented a specific and personal prophetic word. He tossed the pieces, pretty much all at once, into the air, and it was the Holy Spirit than distributed each message to it's recipient. Wow!
"So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it."
Isaiah 55:11
It is Jesus who sends out the word. He's the one mediator! (1 Timothy 2:5) He's the one through whom all blessings flow. His testimony is by the Spirit of prophecy, and by this same Spirit, we ourselves receive a message that points us back to Him. (Revelation 19:10)
"All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills."
1 Corinthians 12:11
So Jesus sows this word, which is our daily bread, and then the wind of the Holy Spirit carries out the Father's will in delivering each message to the intended person. One person gets one message, another gets a different one. They all come from one body of life, which is Jesus, and they are all given to one body--the Church. And it's the Spirit that elevates the prophetic message so that it can be carried to it's recipient!
"Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what disaster may happen on earth."
Ecclesiastes 11:1-2
Sometimes there is a lag time between a message from God and it's fulfillment. There probably will be! The revelation is waiting for it's appointed time (Habakkuk 2:3). We need to give our prophetic words, our gifts, back to the Father, and trust Him with them. We need to acknowledge His faithfulness, and we need to acknowledge the work of the Holy Spirit. He may deliver the same word again and again, in dynamic ways, until it is finally fulfilled. Jesus casts our bread upon the winds of the Spirit, and once we have received, we may need to wait patiently, knowing that our promise will not be lost.
Once our word returns to us fulfilled, then we can share it with others! Then we can use God's message to redeem the time (Ephesians 5:16). When disaster happens, mercy can triumph over judgement. (James 2:13) And then we can look back to Jesus, hopeful that He will continue to give us our daily bread.
