Children's Bread and Confession of Faith

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.

The Refocusing of Faith and a Revival of Justification by Faith

(Part 2)

February 12, 2006

Continue in faith, charity, and holiness, and you will not be snared by his subtlety. He will deceive the whole world. He is the accuser of the brethren. He accuses them before me day and night. Rise up with a good confession of faith, and overcome him by the blood of Jesus and the word of your testimony. This spirit takes advantage of those who lose the focus of their faith. Do not lose the focus of faith. Who are you focusing on?

What are you focusing on?

You will be consumed by whatever you are focusing on. Allow me to be the zeal of your house and then will you be consumed by me. When you have allowed me to become the zeal of your house, you will know what manner of spirit you are of. I did not come to destroy men's live, but to save them. Do you desire the same things for those who disobey as I desire for them?

I desire mercy and lovingkindness for them. Turn your focus back to me. Many are focusing on themselves and their ministries; therefore, they are not seeing clearly. When people lose their focus, they begin to exalt themselves and lose their sense of justification. Return unto a childlike attitude of faith, for of such is the kingdom of God. Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter therein.

I am refocusing your faith. When your faith is refocused, you will begin to preach Jesus again. Unless I am preached, the generation of men is declared instead of my generation. Go and declare my generation and not your own. I am in you to declare it. My zeal will perform it. Rise up, and go forth in the power of the spirit. I have clad you with zeal as a cloke. Now go forth and preach Jesus. I came and dyed my garments in my own blood. I traveled in the greatness of strength speaking in righteousness and mighty to save. Preach how my garments became red as I trod the winepress alone. There was none with me when I tread them in my anger and trampled them in my fury. My blood sprinkled upon my garments and stained my raiment. Preach how my own arm brought salvation unto me and the blood of my arm saved them. The church must become focused again on me. When they are refocused on me again, then will they see what I have done for them and experience a revival of justification by faith. Behold a revival of justification by faith.

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)

(Part 2)

February 12, 2006

I continue in faith, charity, and holiness, and I will not be snared by the Devil’s subtlety. He will deceive the whole world. He is the accuser of the brethren. He accuses them before God day and night. I rise up with a good confession of faith and overcome him by the blood of Jesus and the word of my testimony. This spirit takes advantage of those who lose the focus of their faith. I will not lose the focus of faith. I am focusing on the Lord and the things that he has told me to focus on. I will be consumed by whatever I am focusing on. I will allow the Lord to be the zeal of my house and then will I be consumed by him. When I have allowed Jesus to become the zeal of my house, I will know what manner of spirit I am of. Jesus did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. I have yielded to a wrong attitude and not desired the same things for those who disobey as God has desired for them. The Lord desires mercy and lovingkindness for them. I turn my focus back to Jesus. Many are focusing on themselves and their ministries; therefore, they are not seeing clearly. When people lose their focus, they begin to exalt themselves and lose their sense of justification. I will return unto a childlike attitude of faith, for of such is the kingdom of God. Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter therein.

The Lord is refocusing my faith. When my faith is refocused, I will begin to preach Jesus again. Unless Jesus is preached, the generation of men is declared instead of his generation. I will go and declare Jesus’ generation and not my own. The Lord is in me to declare it. His zeal will perform it. I rise up and go forth in the power of the spirit. God has clad me with zeal as a cloke. Now I will go forth and preach Jesus. The Lord came and dyed his garments in his own blood. He traveled in the greatness of strength speaking in righteousness and mighty to save. I will preach how his garments became red as he trod the winepress alone. There was none with him when he trod them in his anger and trampled them in his fury. Jesus’ blood sprinkled upon his garments and stained his raiment. I will preach how his own arm brought salvation unto himself and the blood of his arm saved them. The church must become focused again on Jesus. When they are refocused on him again, then will they see what he has done for them and experience a revival of justification by faith. I behold a revival of justification by faith.

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.
