And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.’” Matthew 4:3-4 NASB

• Something fresh: It’s time to allow the Lord to BIRTH something FRESH in your life in 2015!
• Something new: Don’t wait around on something NEW to simply happen. Instead, initiate CHANGE through the DAILY APPLICATION of God’s Word!

Text: Leviticus 2:1-2 NLT

1. Ingredient #1: Choice Flour

• Daily Reading of God’s Word: take the daily dose of God’s Word and sift through it by meditating in your spirit man.
• Revelation: fuel for the spirit. The digested Word energizes and strengthens your spirit man.
• Consistency: The word “consist” is used in describing this first and primary ingredient. Without the daily dose of God’s Word, there is no substance to your daily bread. Things become soulish and unspiritual. For the Word of God is ALIVE and POWERFUL. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit… Hebrews 4:12

2. Ingredient #2: Olive Oil

• Prayer: spending time in the presence of God, specifically praying in the Holy Spirit.
• Pour: where you have flour, you need oil! The Spirit of God brings the moisture needed for the fresh bread. It will always be poured in direct proportion to the amount of flour.

3. Ingredient #3: Frankincense

Worship: offering up the incense of adoration to the Lord Jesus. Sprinkle: the “icing on the cake.” Your worship will bring things to the place of highest communion and add the final dimension to your preparation.

4. Ingredient #4: Fire

• Testing: through temptation or trial. This is where the preparation pays off. Putting nothing in the oven will produce nothing. Putting the ingredients for fresh bread in the oven will produce FRAGRANCE and FRESHNESS!
• When the time of testing comes, there will be no time to prepare your fresh bread. Start preparing the Bread of Life today and be SATISFIED in the good times and SUSTAINED in the hard times.

Conclusion: This year, no matter what happens economically or financially, you are going to FEAST on the FRESH BREAD of Heaven!
