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 - #8

January 8, 2004

Behold the faces of the men who once preached the gospel. Notice the faces of those who remain.

(The faces that followed were the faces of these men as children.)

If they had remained as children, then they would not have gone back to the world. The enemy has set the vines of pride on the walls of this world. You may go among the vines of pride and satisfy yourself, but you will not find me among the vines and the spiders of the world. I am only found by those who seek me with a whole heart. If you seek me among the vines of pride, you will only climb to higher heights to leap from as you commit spiritual suicide. Why go higher in the vines of pride?

Come down from the vines of pride, for in the next season, these attractive vines with beautiful flowers of disobedience shall be the hard, dry vines of destruction. You have looked down from your wall of assumed escape and beheld the huge rock below you. I am the rock who followed you here. Now let go of your vines of pride, and fall upon me, the rock, and be broken. You can be broken today, and express the sacrifices of God. If you continue your climb over the wall before you, then you will fall because of your haughtiness, and this same rock shall fall on you and grind you to powder. Let go of all things in your heart, and fall into the big arms of the Rock. What seems to be a hard place, is really your shelter from the storm. What seems to be a long way off, is really your hiding place. Let go, and win me. I am here to be won. The choice is yours, the Resurrection or Destruction.
