3 types of bread

[timeshort]

I had a dream... of 3 types of bread.
I am seeing different ways of presenting the word

My youngest daughter Susie had a loaf of sweet bread with little muffins attached by little cords.
For those young/new/seeking in the faith- bite-sized chunks not separated from truth to be purely entertaining, but attached to the Living Word so they can connect with it and still receive sustenance

My father in law had a loaf of french bread (spicy).
Presented with some challenge (preaching/prophetic) so that people don't simply become teaching sponges. Invoking a response.

And my mother in law was there and I saw a loaf of bread that had been torn in two large pieces.
Rightly dividing between the law (Old Covenant of law based on works & merit) & grace (New Covenant of grace based on Jesus & His work). Jesus body was also broken for us. The dividing wall of hostility between jews & greeks & any knd of discrimination has been broken down in Christ. God shows no partiality.

It was a hearty bread .
Word presented with heart- connected to the real life of the person sharing. Preacher being vulnerable & showing weaknesses, not simply an academic exercise. that resembled many rolls baked together into one loaf The unity of the faith- the word should not be shared in such a way to exclude people or groups. We who are many are one in Christ.


She was willing to share with me and
People in preaching/teaching roles being secure to develop others to do the work so there is continuity when they pass on.

it was hot and fresh.
Preaching & listenting to the word can become simply a religious ritual if there is no freshness. There needs to be fresh oil & the anointing of the Holy Spirit so the word becomes life to people. People will ignore, throw away or stop eating stale bread. Fresh bread makes us hungry for more.

I think you are right on with your interpretation! Excellent!

Yes, Do the hearers of THE MESSAGE need sweet bread, spicy bread, and I need to rightly divide and share the fresh bread by revelation.

How about whatever bread type is needed at the time and specific for whoever is listening. Jesus knew His audience. Maybe the revelation should be more about who you are speaking to and what their unspoken needs are??

I also thought of how we select our bread style according to what is being served as a main course, and/or according to where we/they have come from symbolically. (French bread, Indian flat bread, Jewish Challah bread, Swedish rye...and so forth).

This also came to mind about when Jesus broke bread, revelation was given....Luke 24 "When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.

YES, that's it!!! It is about the hearers. And my part is to sit before the Lord and wait for revelation. Feed the audience what they need by discernment. The word rightly divided and fresh!

Yes, Firewater really helped with bringing this up early in the thread. It is a valuable teaching for the body of Christ!!! especially me.

Thank you for the confirmation.
