Healing Is the Children’s Bread
139
Do you think there’s still bread on the table? Didn’t Jesus say, “Man should not live by (natural)
bread alone but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God?” (Matthew 4:4) It’s His
healing bread.
In Psalm 23, he said, “The Lord is my shepherd,”
so sometimes I have it; sometimes I don’t,
because you just never know...
No. He said, “I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures…” Do you know why sheep lie down in green pastures? Their belly is full. Otherwise
they would be feeding. If you see a sheep or a cow lying down in the middle of the day, with the
grass waving over its head, do you know why? It’s because its stomach is full, and it can’t eat
any more. It has too much grass to eat.
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies…
This can’t be in heaven because your enemy is not up there; it has to be down here on the earth.
Is there a table of God’s provision available to the children of God right down here in the middle
of this devil-filled, curse-filled, sin- and disease-filled earth? There is.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my
head with oil; my cup runneth over.
I wonder if there is any bread on the table. What if a son asks for bread? Would a good father
give him a rock? No. He’s going to give him bread. What do we know, according to the
scripture, is the children’s bread? Healing and deliverance is the children’s bread. Every child
has a right to this bread, but you have to ignore the enemies, don’t you? You have to ignore the
symptoms and the bad reports, and come right on up to the table. It’s in the presence of your
enemies. They’ll try to distract you, but just ignore them and say, “Pass the bread, please. I’ll
take some bread, please. Two slices.” We don’t have to get by on crumbs; crumbs are enough to
heal you. We can have a whole slice or two. “I’ll take two slices of bread and I’ll take a big
scoop of joy. And give me a serving of peace. Thank You.”
But you have to appropriate. You can’t just sit around and sing songs. You have to come to the
table, sit down, hold up your plate, and then ask, and you shall receive. Seek, and say, “I’m
seeking some bread. I’m asking for some bread. Pass the bread, please. Pass the healing,” and
take yourself some healing. Take yourself the provision. Claim it, believe you receive it, and lay
hold of it with your spirit. It belongs to you; you have a right to it. Healing is the children’s
bread.
Say this out loud:
Healing is the children’s bread.
I’m a child of the Kingdom.
The bread belongs to me.
Healing belongs to me
