It came about as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “I have heard the grumblings of the sons of Israel; speak to them, saying, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God.’” Exodus 16:10-12.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלוהים) says:
When I gave My people Manna in the wilderness the night before it fell I showed My glory for the first time to My people. And I spoke saying I would send them meat at twilight but in the morning I would give them bread from Heaven. And if you remember the night My Son was born in Bethlehem I again showed My glory to men as Heaven opened to smile upon the earth at the coming of the true Bread of Life that would give His life for your life. Peace (shalom) on earth and good will to men. He came to reconcile you and Me and to give you all the double portion, and not just that, but the double double of the Jubilee year.
Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land. Lovingkindness and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth springs from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. Indeed, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its produce. Righteousness will go before Him
And will make His footsteps into a way. Psalm 85:9-13.
The Word for today is I Am the LORD your healer. In the Manna, that is, the bread of life, you have the true double portion of health.
“If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer.” Exodus 15:26.
And it was soon after this the Manna began to fall each morning on the dew.
Jesus is the true bread come down from Heaven for you to eat and NEVER die the death, the second death, and that is a double portion of health and healing. Eternal life is quality life, abundant life, the life of being joined to Me and My Spirit flowing into you to quicken your mortal body like a branch abiding deep in the vine. The fruit on the branch is that of the vine and in Jesus all My promises are “yes” to you. In Him you have the double portion of everything that is good, pleasing, and perfect. I have blessed you with every spiritual blessing in Him that you would walk in them along the path of good deeds I prepared for you in advance.
My love is poured into your heart. Let it flow into and penetrate every part, every cell, every tissue in your body, and let it work wonders in you. Let My love heal your broken heart.
My love is expressed in My Covenant Names, which are all yours in Jesus, who demonstrates and fulfills them all for you. In these Names you find the answers to all things that come against you. And it is, the Sword of the Spirit. My love is expressed in My Covenant Names and promises to make you whole and complet, lacking in no good thing.
You do not begin to understand who I AM or the love I have for you. If you did, you would be rejoicing always, prayer (fellowshipping) with Me without ceasing, and giving constant thanks for all I have done, am doing, and will do in your life. And I lavish My grace and love upon you.
I call Heaven a banquet, a marriage feast, a place of festal gathering. A place of cities glowing in gem like quality. A place of valleys and fields, flowers and the light of My glory. A banquet hall of love. A place of song and fruitful activity.
You access My Kingdom deep within you, in your born again spirit filled with My Spirit that Jesus has poured into your heart. And in My Kingdom there is no sickness, no pain, no mourning, no defeat, no fear, no harm, no darkness, no lack, and no death. These have no place in love. In My Kingdom there are riches, honor, glory, power, love, authority, wisdom, and eternal life, that are all yours in Christ Jesus. It is a place of splendor.
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.” Revelation 5:12.
“To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.” Revelation 5:13.
Heaven says it all. And you can have it in your heart and in your days even now. Days of Heaven upon the earth can be yours if you simply reach out and take it because that is your portion. I am your portion. Jesus is your bread of life. He is your double portion.
All you need for life and godliness, material and spiritual is there for you in Jesus. Like the manna that signifies “Shalom.”—provision, healing, and care. It fell from Heaven, not made on earth. It is off a heavenly substance. It is the life of good deeds prepared in advance that you may walk them out with a joyful shout! Ephesians 2:10.
Just like My people of old, this is not automatic. You have a part. They had to gather the Manna at the time I told them, at the time it fell or later in the day it was gone. Seek Me early. Do not leave Me out until you have no where else to turn. Ask Me immediately.
The beauty of the life you can live in Me is beyond all you can sk or imagine. Not by human strength or might do you attain to this, but by My Spirit in you and on you, regenerating you to t be the wonderful YOU I made YOU to be.
Just stay close to Me and you will be in the flow of the double portion blessing.
Let Me show you the flow of the Spirit, for it is the flow for the blessing and these rivers flow from within. The Holy Spirit is your double portion for in Him you are contained in Me and I in you and you come into that river of life that Jesus gives you to drink until it is leaping up like a fountain of eternal life within you and then overflowing out as rivers from your innermost being to cover the earth in the knowledge of My glory as the waters cover the sea.
On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. John 7:37-39.
I took John into My Kingdom filled with glory and showed Him the river of life, clear as crystal running from My throne, from the throne of grace comes abundance of grace flowing to you as a vine to a branch. But long before that I had shown My prophet Ezekiel this mysterious river of grace coming from the altar facing east at the rising of the Sun of righteousness in your life.
Then he brought me back to the door of the temple, the house of the LORD; and behold, water was flowing from under the threshold of the house toward the east, for the house faced east. And the water was flowing down from under, from the right side of the house, from south of the altar. He brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate by way of the gate that faces east. And behold, water was trickling from the south side. Ezekiel 47:1-2.
It begins in your life as a trickle, a glimmer, a taste of grace and if you are interested to pursue it, as the Israelites did with the Manna and the water from the rock, it will rise higher and higher in your life until it is not just a trickle but a mighty river of peace and life carrying you in its flow rather than you wading along in shallow water.
When the man went out toward the east with a line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, water reaching the ankles. Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the knees. Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the loins. Again he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not ford, for the water had risen, enough water to swim in, a river that could not be forded. He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me back to the bank of the river. Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many trees on the one side and on the other. Then he said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the Arabah; then they go toward the sea, being made to flow into the sea, and the waters of the sea become fresh. It will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. And it will come about that fishermen will stand beside it; from Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea, very many. But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.” Ezekiel 47:3-12.
Listen as the prophets speak My thoughts indeed are very deep, so high and wide as they provide the path for My great plan, the path for My great plan to manifest on earth through you.
My Son told you that rivers of living water will flow from within whoever believes in Him. John 7: 38. And that river is the Holy Spirit. John 7:39. And the destination of the river is the harvest, the harvest of souls, the sea of humanity. Ezekiel 47:8-10. And you are fishers of men.
Recall, when the Holy Spirit fell upon the believers on that first Pentecost Sunday what He did. He drove them out of hiding to witness to the nations. The River was flowing down from My Throne back to earth and its destination was the sea of humanity (rivers flow to the sea) but in this case it is flowing to the Arabah or the dead sea. And that is where you were headed in Adam until Jesus came and reversed the curse Adam brought into the earth to a blessing again.
And on the day Pentecost was fulfilled, the river from My throne poured down on the believers and it brought in supernatural harvest that first day—3,000 who heard the Word that day were baptized and received Jesus as their Savior.
And My Will is for that river to flow into every believer and that you would sail on it to your assignment, which is the harvest of souls, that every person and nation may have the opportunity to hear the Good News of the Kingdom. This includes your next door neighbors, your co-workers, your family, your relatives, your friends, the people of your city, the people of your state, the people of your nation, and the people of all the nations of the world.
Have you even put your feet in the river? In the Book of Ezekiel, I describe this wonderful river. Ezekiel 47:1-12. It flows from My temple (in Revelation you see the River of Life flowing from My Throne, Revelation 22:1-3) and you can be in it ankle-deep, knee-deep, waist-deep, or finally when you cannot reach the bottom anymore the current of that river will take over. Ezekiel 47:3-5. Then you can only swim. Ezekiel 47:5. And, when you get that deep into the river, the current carries you and My Spirit will flow you to your assignment. And that river empties into the sea where it makes the salt waters fresh. Ezekiel 47:8. It makes dead things alive.
And standing along that river are fishermen, spreading their nets because where that river flows there are numerous fish to catch. Ezekiel 47:10. Fishers of men.
And the river gives life to fruit trees of every kind, whose leaves do not fade or their fruit fail—the fruit of the Holy Spirit which serves as food and medicine for all people. Ezekiel 47:12-13. And you know the fruit of the Holy Spirit– it is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23.
And today the river is flowing out to all the world. Get in the flow. As I foretold to My prophet Joel, in the later days I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh, the young and the old, boys and girls, men and women. Joel 2:28.
The River is flowing into your heart. Many are only going ankle deep to keep the ground under their feet and to avoid the pull of the River’s current. But they will end up in the marshes on the side that I describe in the Book of Ezekiel, marshes and swamps that are not made fresh, they are left for salt. Ezekiel 47:11. Do not let your life be wasted in the swamp to dry up on the sides of the River. A wasted salt and empty barren ground.
But the River is My Voice. My assignment for you. For I want all men to be saved and to come to know the truth. May I ask you, where are you in your assignment? Have you stepped into the River at all? Are you ankle deep? Knee deep? Waist deep? Or are you swimming with the current to wherever it flows? Streams of living water are available. Come, you who are thirsty and drink. It is free to come but it may cost you your own plans for Mine. But you will find when you come into the current you are propelled to your true destiny—a life of miracles, signs, wonders, the gifts of the Spirit, finances, provision, and supernatural harvest—souls who will thank you forever for stepping into the deep! It is really the true you that you will find as the current carries you, as you are led by the Holy Spirit in your assignment. And it really is much easier to swim or sail than to wade through water or to get stuck in a swamp.
My River is flowing, it is pulling at you. Do you feel its current in your heart?
I love you. Receive the double portion of My Spirit in you and on you. Then the double death will have no part in you. You walk in newness of life.
