Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread

Everyone desires an assurance of a good future, often looking to the past—its patterns, victories, and failures—to predict what lies ahead, but to no avail. Even as believers who have been promised a good future in the Word of God, we still struggle to trust in the certainty of that promise in the midst of life’s storms. How, then, can we obtain the faith to be certain of a good future? In this message titled “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter defines the carnal life, traces its origin, and explains how it opposes the expression of the spiritual life in our natural lives. He reveals how it breeds fear and anxiety, and why we are often reluctant to repent from it despite its uncertainty. He further explains how approaching God’s Word carnally deprives us of the experience of certainty of His truth. Expounding on God’s purpose in leading us through the wilderness as we practise the Word, he underscores the need to relinquish confidence in the flesh. Ultimately, he admonishes believers to refrain from using the past to predict the future and instead practice living in the present with the reality of God’s truth to obtain faith. May this message inspire you to renounce confidence in yourself, look to God, live daily in the reality of His truth, and receive the faith to experience His promised future. Key Scriptures: Matthew 6:11(KJV) 11 Give us this day our daily bread. Deuteronomy 8:3 (KJV) 3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. Matthew 10:19 (KJV) 19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
