Hidden Manna

Ethel C. Schenck

Description

I use to seek after thing to fulfill my flesh while trying to live for Christ and one day I got tired of "trying" and began "desiring". As soon as I saw myself in the mirror of His Word it began changing me.. Self is our greatest enemy. I had to destroy it. Once I died and took on life through the Word, I now live and have my being through Him.
While seeking a deeper walk along with a powerful relationship with the Lord, He showed me how important it is to understand Him being the Hidden Manna in the Word of God. The same Logos that created the heavens and the earth is the same word that made us new creatures in Him. Hidden Manna is revealed throughout the entire Bible. If you allow Him to touch your eyes the second time, you will see Him as the living bread of life. Hidden Manna, God's Special Messages For You is just a silhouette of God's Word. The messages along with prayers and scriptures will help your heart and mind find the center of God's will and begin living a richer fuller relationship in Jesus Christ.

About the Author
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I am extremely grateful for all the spiritual support I received while writing my first book. I want to personally thank my awesome and spiritual friends Michael and Debra Goldstone for their spiritual encouragement and prayers.
A special thank you goes to Pastor Darrell and Lashawn Anderson and my prayer team Levi, Lynn, Cynthia, Sue, Pamela, Mary, Lupe, and Dr. Earline Weaver-Long. Their fervent prayers kept me pushing forward to complete this book.
 
Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
(ISAIAH 9:6 KJV)
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
(REVELATION 2:17 KJV)
And they said, “Our fathers did eat manna in the desert”; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
And Jesus said unto them, verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
(JOHN 6:31–35 KJV)
CHAPTER 1
FINDING WHOLENESS IN OUR BROKENNESS

Brokenness is the pathway to wholeness. This word is not a new truth. It is, however, a timeless principle that runs like a thread through the word of God. Brokenness is the only measurable way for you and me to draw near to a holy God. Brokenness is God’s prescription for every condition that ails the human mind and heart. It is designed to break away all things that hinder us from being in the right connection with the Holy Spirit. This principle is especially the solution for the creature who claims he or she is born again. If you do not possess the spirit of brokenness, you will have a severe breakdown in your spiritual mind and suffer an intensified struggle in your spiritual walk. Your life, both naturally and spiritually, will feel this spiritual collapse and trauma.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
(PSALM 34:18 KJV)
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
(PSALM 51:17 KJV)
God’s desire is not in sacrificed animals. His delight is in the soul that restores itself through the cross of Jesus Christ. His pleasure is in the person who comes obediently to Him.
And I have given to you a new heart, And a new spirit I give in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given to you a heart of flesh.
(EZEKIEL 36:26 YLT)
The phrase used at the opening of this chapter—not a new truth but a timeless principle—says that God battled with the children of Israel concerning this divine principle, but they didn’t get it! He finally ended up calling them “stiff-necked” and shut them out.
Unfortunately, like Israel, we have gotten caught up in the formation of things, including habits, traditions, and rituals of the world. These processes have caused us to become stiff-necked and very unsure and disconnected
