BREAD OF FACES
It is amazing to me that on the exact date that this study was written is the same date but in 1983 that in Houston, Texas a van and car hit me as I was walking across a five lane road to a business meeting. (And within a week of writing the original message was diagnosed with a very rare aggressive cancer, having 2 to 3 months to live.) But God.
The SHOW-BREAD of Life, our Lamb of God – Y’shua Ha Mashiach, appeared to me in a blazing cloud of glory in the emergency room as I was dying. I am Jewish and we never mentioned the name of Jesus in our home.
And yet, I had a revelation of the Show-bread of life, and from my heart to His heart said, “I know that was you Jesus and you were holding my head and I know that is why I am alive and will accept whatever it is you want of my life.” In silence I spoke to my Beloved, my Spiritual eyes were suddenly opened ONE MOMENT IN TIME to partake of His loveliness and start to know my Jewish Messiah, our Passover Lamb. I have never looked back to my previous life, only to Y’shua the author of all life.
His table was set before Me and I partook of Jesus’ silent invitation to recognize the eternal lover of my soul.
“There I will meet with you and, from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are upon the ark of the Testimony, I will speak intimately with you of all which I will give you in commandment for the Israelites.” Exodus25:22 As we look at the word SHOW-BREAD one of the Hebrew derivatives is BREAD OF FACES. “And you shall set the show-bread (the bread of Presence or Divine presence) on the table before Me always. “Exodus 25:30. In the Divine Presence is where all supplies, material and spiritual come.
Y’shua is the SHOW-BREAD always with His table prepared before us THE BREAD OF FACES. He has prepared the table for us to enjoy His best. Jesus’ life giving Word, the SHOW-BREAD of eternity has given us His Word which is above His Name, that is our strength, our victory and joy.
He is waiting to meet with us at His Passover Table. All Israel prepared to run with the unleavened bread which had not risen yet. The matzo, striped in symbolism of His finished work at the Cross for healing, body, soul, and Spirit. The unleavened BREAD OF FACES, which He prepared for the multitudes to make an escape for His purposes. This is the day for Jesus to meet us by appointment and this is the appointed place and way. He has prepared the way. This is the day for Memorials, the days of double miracles. Our Y’shua knew our faces before the world was formed.
It is time to take our seats and partake of the Bread of His Divine Presence, this MOMENT IN TIME.
Passover is upon us in a few weeks, a magnificent reminder of our Passover Lamb’s shed blood that is alive and protects us moment by moment. “ And we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of our Testimony.” Revelation 12:11 We serve an awesome Lord, what is your testimony? He gave His life for you and I, that is enough to celebrate forever, eternity is ours Now.
The unnamed lad had an appointment at an appointed place, ONE MOMENT IN TIME. In His Presence is all that is needed One Moment at a Time.” Now the Passover, a feast of Jews was near. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” Andrew said to Him, “ There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?” Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” John 6:4, 5, 9, 10a.
The disciples did not understand that the Bread of the Presence of the sent One was distributing the bread to them as they walked to bring sustenance to the BREAD OF FACES, made in the image of Y’shua. In His divine presence all is supplied in every area of life. The multitude rested.
The lad gave it all; unaware that the BREAD OF LIFE was the distributor who had given him the meager supply that He multiplied. THE SHOW-BREAD. “I am the bread of life. I AM the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” John 6:48, 51
We are the BREAD OF FACES before Him, life everlasting as we feast in Yshua’s living Word.
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my brimming cup runs over.” Psalm 23:5 “You have made known to me the ways of life; You will enrapture me diffusing my soul with joy with and in Your presence” Acts 2:28
As we walk and live and move and have our being in Y’shua allow Him to show you the hearts of those that need to be seated at His table where they can join the BREAD OF FACES that know Y’shua the BREAD OF LIFE, THE BREAD OF THE PRESENCE. Jesus wants to unwrap His gifts at this table that presents the SHOW-BREAD, the giver of all life.
With love and blessings, FOR His GLORY,

Our Passover Lamb knew us when He, the SHOWBREAD, went to the Cross that ONE AMAZING MOMENT IN TIME and said “IT IS FINISHED.”
