Unleavened Bread

Unleavened Bread by Harriet Peavey


For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. Isaiah 55: 9
It is in this realm that I attempt to look into the scriptures and learn of God. Knowing full well that “unless the Lord build the house they labor in vane that build it.”
I have looked at several passages of scripture in regards to unleavened bread, and I am drawn by the spirit to the one in 1 Corinthians 5: 7 - “Purge out therefore the old leaven that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us:

8 - Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. This is the spirit of the new unleavened bread.
Leavening is a substance that raises the bread into a new texture of air and substance, like yeast, to make it taste better and seem more than it is. God uses this analogy to help us understand that any old teachings and understandings of ideas and doctrines which have been passed to us from who ever we have been associated with, or understandings of experiences or readings which we have acquired is just leavening in the bread which he wants us to eat of and pass out to others. He was constantly trying to get the Jews to surrender their old understandings and follow him into the new way of life, which he offered. He told them he did nothing of himself, the Father who was in him, He doeth the work.
Note in Isaiah 55: 11 “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Christ cried out on the cross and in the garden from within his human self "Let this cup pass from me," and yet he surrendered to his father all of his human thoughts and desires. “Never the less not my will but thine be done”
Dear June, you were favored of God when the guest speaker pointed you out and prophesied. Now 40 years might seem like a long time to us, but to God it is nothing. It is like it just happened and if you can grasp the meaning of the prophecy you will be rewarded.
It is not the passing out of the bread to the people at the nursing home, but the passing out of the bread of life, which God is after. The unleavened bread , that is not full of religious dogmas and ideologies, the unleavened bread that is ready for God to fill is the bread
god wants passed out. The religious world with all of its churches and doctrines and dogmas is like Babylon with every man setting under his own vine and fig tree thinking his is something when he is nothing. Read my article again, the last page –“You must be clean like an unwritten page. surrendering all” I am sending you an article which our pastor wrote, maybe God wants you to come up higher. I only want Gods will done in all things and in his own time.
