SHARING YOUR BREAD
The following entry just came out in one of my posts and
the experience was given to me years before the Lord
gave me a writing ministry.
EXPERIENCE 8/06/96: After hearing so little of late, I
have grown very hungry and have been knocking
continually for several days. Upon waking from another
blank night, I asked the Lord what was going on. I
thought of many possibilities, but nothing was planted
in my heart. Then when I was getting ready for the day
I heard the Lord say, "Encouragement." That was it.
I left for errands and then received the strangest
Word. I was at the grocery store and heard the phrase,
"Maybe she ought to know." I had the distinct feeling
that either the Lord or some angels were speaking
something about me. At that exact moment, a bakery lady
with a giant 33 gallon clear plastic sack of fresh bread walked
past me, carrying the bread over her shoulder. This was
really quickened to me but I did not know why. Then
later as I was driving home, I drove behind an
"oversized load" truck on the freeway. I kept thinking
about that oversize bread sack the lady was carrying and
wondering what I was supposed to know. Well, I haven't
heard Him in days, I guess He is trying to send me
encouragement.
[HINDSIGHT NOTE: I think God has a tongue in check
sense of humor!]
============
CONFIRMATION 2/17/06: Before my above story came out on
the net, I had completely forgotten having posted it a
few months prior. Then 2 days ago, Wayne bought us 2
loaves of hot French Bread, because the kids were here
and I was fixing an Italian dinner. I wanted the bread
to stay fresh for the next day and didn't have any sack
big enough, without cutting the bread. So, I got out a
giant 33 gallon clear plastic garbage sack and wrapped
the bread in it. We laughed about the sack, but it
worked and the bread stayed wonderfully fresh for the
next night's meal. In 30 years of cooking, I have never
put bread in a giant sack before.... And then the above
post came out. God is so precious with His
confirmations.
I was teary at the Lord's smile upon me, and I read this
post as fresh manna straight from Him to me, Wayne came
in and sat down upon my bed. I read to him about the
bread lady. I told him we had one loaf left in our sack
in the kitchen and that was how I felt. I had only one
loaf left. I have barely dented my journals,
because I have no time, due to outside jobs. My energy in the Lord feels like I only have one
loaf left. I was telling Wayne this, and he shook his
head. He said, "No, that loaf is not what you have
left, it is your new bread, that is your FIRST loaf in
your sack." So precious.
============
(A few days later, the Lord answered me about that one
loaf.)
VISION: I saw 2 white 5 gallon buckets
HEARD: "Bread"
I knew there was bread grain in those buckets! I have
a lot of white gallon buckets full of grain and
emergency supplies should we ever be caught without
electricity in our area. Now thinking about those white
buckets, I realize He is bringing back to me my past
promise of food storage... that when adding water to
what I had purchased in grain, it will all multiply
naturally and He will also multiply them supernaturally
should we ever need them for supplying other's needs.
The 2 buckets represents a double portion. Also, one
makes bread out of crushed grain and again that is
multiplied in the process of waiting for it to rise. He
is saying that I may not see anything but one loaf on
the counter, but I have many seeds inside that come out
for good bread in the right time.

QUICKENED VERSES ABOUT BREAD
Isa 55:10-11 NLT
"The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay
on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain
to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the
hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and
it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want
it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.
Isa 28:24-29 NLT
Does a farmer always plow and never sow? Is he forever
cultivating the soil and never planting it? Does he not
finally plant his seeds for dill, cumin, wheat, barley,
and spelt, each in its own section of his land? The
farmer knows just what to do, for God has given him
understanding. He doesn't thresh all his crops the same
way. A heavy sledge is never used on dill; rather, it is
beaten with a light stick. A threshing wheel is never
rolled on cumin; instead, it is beaten softly with a
flail. Bread grain is easily crushed, so he doesn't keep
on pounding it. He threshes it under the wheels of a
cart, but he doesn't pulverize it. The LORD Almighty is
a wonderful teacher, and he gives the farmer great
wisdom.

A GRAIN OF WHEAT
From Visions from Annies' Visions
As I went to prayer in a certain place, many sorrowful
memories swept over my mind. In this atmosphere of
unbelief there was much opposition; nevertheless, the
Spirit of the Lord finally drew near and carried me
through darkness of spiritual enemies to the glorious
entrance of the great cross of light. However welcome
it always is to me, for I know that jut beyond the cross
He awaits me. In the passing through that cross-door
all the sorrows, fears and stains of earth are melted
away and I am then ready to enter into His presence.
Passing through that wondrous cross I heard His voice
coming to me telling me to not fear. As always, all
fears were fully washed away and I found myself standing
before that mighty Cloud of highest glory.
When He told me to look, I looked and saw a beautiful
field of grain like unto ripe wheat which belonged to
Him. He plucked one of the grains of wheat then showed
me the process that all of His grain was going to have
to pass through.
He brought the little grain that He had taken in His
hand to an angel of great stature and might who held in
his hands two large mill stones. This mighty angel of
great beautiful and tender love put the grain between
the stones and bruised and crushed it with great vigor,
smashing and breaking it into very fine powder.
With great tenderness and love, the Lord took this
ground grain and carried it to another place where I saw
a stone of bread. It was not a loaf I saw but a stone.
The Lord told me that this was His bread that He was
making, then proceeded to take this finely ground knead
and mold and form it into the stone of bread. He looked
with much love at this lovely bread filled with life and
light and cared for it most tenderly. I was astonished
at the love He showed for this stone of fine bread.
Afterwards He told me that He would have to take all His
other grain through this same process in order to make
fine bread of it.

CONCLUSION

{Words to Ponder are summaries of His quickened Words of
prophetic revelation, punched with the word of wisdom
and written under inspiration.}
WORD TO PONDER: FRESH BREAD
I give good gifts to those who ask, and My children are
hungry for fresh bread. For many years you have
gathered My ingredients and mixed the dough. And it has
multiplied and swollen as time passed. Then into the
furnace of heat, and the bread has cooked in My perfect
timing. Now out it comes. Ummm, it smells so good!
You have wondered how do I apply all of these years of
grain? What can be done to harvest this? And now
before you is this huge loaf of bread. My Spirit is the
knife that slices it into edible portions. I will lay
open the years before you and pierce it with such
relevance that you will be amazed at My good gifts. For
your portion runs over and you have yet to really know
how much. Fresh hot manna, from the Father of good
gifts… let us break the bread together and eat from My
table.
I AM giving you manna from heaven and it is making good
bread for you to eat. And along your journey as you eat
this heavenly bread, you shall leave a trail of bread
crumbs across the face of the earth. Even as you have
cast it to the nations, upon the waters of life, and
waited upon Me.... so it comes back to you multiplied,
over and over again. Dear one, trust Me. You are not
on your last loaf!
Eccl 11:1 NKJV
Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it
after man
Prov 11:24-25 NKJV
There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there
is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to
poverty. The generous soul will be made rich, and he
who waters will also be watered himself.
