Spiritual Food

"…all ate the same spiritual food…" (1 Cor 10:3)
The spiritual food, or manna, may be right before us but we eat it as if it is merely physical. Not many of us realize the spiritual aspect of our daily circumstances. We chew physically but miss the spiritual experience while going through the wilderness. The Israelites all had manna in the wilderness and ate of it, but only a few realized what was spiritually happening. Only two entered into the promised land.

Joshua and Caleb had the "hidden manna" (Rev 2:17; Ex 16:33) experience while they went through the wilderness. They gained the real value of the daily bread by discovering that "man does not live by bread alone, but by everything that goes out of the mouth of the Lord" (Deut 8:3). By this daily experience of spiritual food, they recognized every life situation as "food" for spiritual life and growth.

When at first the Israelites were called to enter into the land of Canaan they were all afraid of the giants of the land. But Joshua and Caleb said, "these giants shall be our food, fear them not"! (Num 13-14)

What has been our complaint may really be our food.

Lord, what is my hidden spiritual food today?

Crave the word

  So glad for this verse today:    as newborn babes  desire earnestly  [crave] the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation  - 1 Peter 2:2 Try reading 10 chapters by the  choice  of craving and then read some more by the reactive desire of it.  How often are my 5 or 10 second moments spent checking some other happiness than Christ? In 5 seconds I can check notifications or I can chew on my manna for the day. In 10 seconds I can check for new emails or rehearse that verse I've been trying to memorize. I can spend just 5 minutes listening to the news or I can spend it finishing a daily Bible reading portion.  Mother's milk is the best thing for the newborn baby. The milk of the word is the best source of joy all through the day. "crave ... the word ... if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is good."

The mystery of Israel: a conversation about prophecies and modern events

 This is not a message, it is more of a discussion that I’ve been having with several people by phone call or email or chat or in person. This only includes some notes on it but I wanted to share a more comprehensive view all at once.

God Has Spoken Series

Question: Where can I get the audio messages of Stephen Kaung's God Has Spoken series? If I could recommend only one book or series by Stephen Kaung it would be his God Has Spoken series. He shared a message for each book of the Bible, giving a simple overview and revealing the way to find Christ as you read. It is not only his classic set but it's His way with the Scriptures. Our brother could always find Christ and find Him as He's meant to be found. For a new believer and an old believer, this is the first set to have as guide through the Bible and a reference set to go back to later on.  Below are links to each of the original messages.   Old Testament  Introduction to the Old Testament Genesis -The Will of God Exodus -The Works of God Leviticus - The Ways of God Numbers -The Walk of God Deuteronomy - The Word of God Joshua - Possessing the Land   Judges - Possessing all the Possessions Ruth - Recovery of the Inheritance I Samuel - Epoch-...
