Spiritual Food and Medicine

UV 1274/10,000 Spiritual Food and Medicine Rev 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.



The little scroll that we receive from the hand if the angel is the portion of scripture that The Lord gives us daily to teach us, encourage us, warn us or to admonish us. It is the thematic or specific verse that we need and that we claim. We should not just read it casually but we need to eat it, masticate it so that it becomes part of flesh and blood and mind and spirit. It should be woven into the warp and woof of our lives.

Scripture is sweet in our mouths or sweet as we hear it for our ears are the mouths of our minds and spirits. It is sweet like the honeyed taste of God provided manna. We should enjoy reading and digesting scripture and not treat it as a burden, boredom or imposition. We should relish it and cherish every word.

Once we ingest a portion of scripture it becomes like bitter medicine in our stomachs or in our inner being. It will produce the churning that produces change and healing in our lives. It will make us whole and healthy in spirit, mind and body. It will supply all the nutrients our being needs. It will equip us for the present and prepare us for the future as well as for eternity. It is by understanding and applying this promise that we can enjoy the promise of Jesus in John 10 v 10 " I have come that you might have life and life in all its abundance. " We have multiple and abundant as well as specific and precise promises and answers in scripture for the healing of nations, for the blessing of our lives, for the health and well being of our people, for the growth and blessing of our children and succeeding generations, for meeting every deficiency and shortcoming, for overcoming every curse and limitation and for solving every problem.
