Word for the community

But he answering said, "It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God." Matthew 4:4 (Young's Literal Translation)

I love this verse in its literal translation. Because it so clearly shows that we need the Word of God, not just the scripture, but also the actual Word that IS coming forth right now. Just like the manna, we need the Word of this morning! Jesus further indicates this in the Lord's prayer - "give us this day our daily bread". A community that is not recieving its daily bread will soon starve.

Below is a Word from God that has been given our community from Linda Marceau. I will leave it to the over all community to enter into a communal interpretation. I look forward to hearing your discernments.
God Bless, John

Reach down deep and find your faith - I have placed a good deposit within each of you. Exercise and strengthen your faith as I reveal my will and my purposes. Do not presume to know my will or my way. My ways are different than your ways. I will not share my Glory with another. My Glory is released as you worship and praise me. Live in an attitude of praise and thanksgiving. Be careful not to grumble or complain for these have no part in my Kingdom. Praise and thanksgiving is the pathway to miracles. You are my beloved and in you I am well pleased. It's time to appropriate your faith. Identify your need and find a promise for the provision in scripture. Activate with faith filled prayer and fasting until you see the fruit.
