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.

What I have promised, I will perform. You have believed; therefore, are you counted righteous. You have struggled in vain as you have considered so many things of yourself. Now cease your struggle to make things happen, and enter into the works of the rest. The works performed in the works of the rest are spiritual products and not carnal manifestations of self-righteousness. Enter again into my rest, and cease from your own works of the flesh. Remember, I ceased from my works on the seventh day. Allow me to show you the beauty of the works of the rest.

Look to my sacrifice of the Lamb of God. Behold your death, burial, and resurrection, which was your part in the covenant that I made with you. Know of a surety, that the effects of the covenant are now working on your behalf. You will behold the power of the smoking furnace and the burning lamp in your life continually. Look to your furnace, your lamp, and me. I am your light and your consuming fire. Look to this light and this ability to consume the things that need to be consumed.

Avoid the temptations that come with enticing persuasions to draw you into a trust in the flesh. I have not prevented you from receiving the promises given you. In due time, the fulfillment shall manifest itself. The tempter has come to seduce you to lean on the arm of flesh. Beware of the hands near you, which shall become the hands of offerings from the flesh. You must be fully persuaded lest your love for the owner of these hands become the persuasion that convinces you to trust in the flesh. Many have brought upon themselves great sorrow because of their intimacy with the offerings of the flesh. The offspring of these relationships hinder revival in the lives of many even now. The offspring of these intimacies with the works of the flesh are against you at this very moment. Unless you cast out these offspring of the works of your flesh, you shall be bound by their contempt. Remember, the new covenant that I have made with you, and cease your continual war with these offspring. Cast them out, and continue your walk of faith. Know of a truth, that the power of your baptism has assured you of the benefits of the covenant. You are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh as you were buried with me in baptism.
