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.

A Taste of the Cross of Death from the Platter of Grace
(Part 1)
January
25, 2006
Awaken out of sleep and I will give you light. Must the lashes of the enemy come against your back to awaken you unto the grace within your heart?
I bring to your remembrance the many things that I have delivered you from. Count all these things joy that have choked away your pleasures. Remember that you deserved to die in the floods of the past. You should have drowned in the waters of trouble that went over your head. It was not your own struggles that gave you strength to escape the belly of the floods of trouble, but it was my grace enabling you to wash upon the shores of life. Open your eyes and view the past scenes of tragedy where many lay dead in their trespasses and sins, yet you are alive today with an opportunity to praise the name of the God that kept you alive. How many of your friends died in their sins while serving themselves and the gods of religion?
You survived the clutches of idolatry, and by grace, you came up out of the horrible pit of religion. By my grace, I brought you to the dry ground of the chief cornerstone. The rope of love did not leave you in the dark dungeon of despair while I rescued others, but I brought you along with others. I stretched my hand to some of your friends and they rejected my help. Will you reject my offer of mercy after being delivered from such horrible blindness of heart?
Come and reason together with me and I will show you of my easy yoke and my light burden again. Yoke yourself no longer with the strength of human reasoning, but yoke yourself with me and rest while I show you of an easier way. You have trusted in self and man too long. You say that you have trusted in me, but have you really learned to trust in me as Paul trusted in me?
There are many who have not bowed to the gods of the world and have trusted in me with all their hearts. Come and behold the teachings of love in store for you. Do not fear. My yoke is easy and my burden is light. The yokes of the world are rooted in pride. Unbelief is the soil for the roots of pride to flourish. Look at the tares and behold their emptiness that they have drawn from the soil of unbelief. There is nothing truly spiritual in the world. All is vanity and foolish. The acts of the world are mere distractions and entertainment for the fallen angels of the darkness. Do not be a character in their dramas of death. The prince of the power of the air works to include you in his amusement so that you may be on the diet of death itself. Do not allow the trumpets of death to play taps for you, but tune your senses to the voice of the Lord. I shall descend with the voice of an archangel and my voice shall be heard by those who love my appearing. How will you love my appearing if you find my commandments grievous?
Amos
3: 7 - 8
Surely
the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his
servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear?
The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
SCRIPTURAL
VERIFICATION
The
word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is,
the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For
with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation.
(Romans
10:8-10)

Words of Light Upon the Face of Enemies, Human Reasoning, and Unbelief

Hebrews
10:22 - 23
Let
us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having
our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed
with pure water. Let
us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
(for he is faithful that promised;)
Ephesians
2:8-9
For
by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
