Children's Bread

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

Mark 7:27-28

Give us this day our daily bread.

Children's Bread

Series 2 - #7

Fret not yourself because of the size of the congregation. Love and nurture those that I bring. None can come unless I draw them unto myself. I am in you; therefore, those who I am drawing shall come, and some shall remain. I bring many to hear the gospel, but many will not be chosen. The call has gone out for the world to hear the good news, yet all will not obey the gospel; therefore, know that you shall see many pass through your midst and exit into hell. Be not disturbed by those who reject the truth. Remember that I have told you that you are not greater than your master. They rejected me. They rejected the prophets. They will reject you. Allow not the spear of rejection to wound your trust in me. I am faithful even when the spear of rejection has been thrown into your heart. All these things must be, for you are a part of my body, and I have opened up a door for all to come. Look again to me. What do you see in the spirit?

Behold the sick man lying in a hospital bed. Behold the nurses coming around his bed. The man needs care, for he is injured. Behold the bandage around his head. Notice that the man is not conscious. Many of the people are yet in hospital beds. They have come to have their wounds cared for. Many have come that attention might be given to them in their weak state. Many will never go from Spiritual Intensive Care, for they were ushered into my presence by emergency vehicles and not by knees of love. When my people, which are called by my name, shall fall to their knees of love and humble themselves and pray, then will there be little need for the many spiritual ambulances parked outside of spiritual hospitals. My church shall be a lighthouse filled with healed workers who minister and not spiritual invalids in the lobby of a sick church.
