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 4)

February 14, 2006

The foundation of God stands sure. Everyone that names the name of Christ departs from iniquity. If you desire to be a vessel of honor, speak the things that I have said lest you reserve a place for yourself among fools. Purge yourself from the inspiration of unbelief and then will you guarantee a position with the vessels of honor, sanctified, meet for my use, and prepared unto every good work. How will you endorse faith and unbelief?

The tongue is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Out of the same mouth should not precede blessing and cursing. Does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

A fig tree does not bear olive berries. A grape vine does not yield figs and a fountain cannot yield salt water and fresh water. I placed you on a true vine and planted you as a choice vine. How is it that you are not bearing the grapes of faith?

From whence are you bringing forth the wild grapes of unbelief?

I planted you a noble vine, a right seed. How then are you turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?

You shall be known by the fruit that you bear. You are a good tree. Bring forth the good fruit of faith. A corrupt tree brings forth the evil fruit of unbelief. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?" And then will I profess unto them, "I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity." What will you hear me say unto you, "Enter in my good and faithful servant, or depart from me, you worker of iniquity?"

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 Beguiling Spirits, Human Reasoning, and Trouble

(Part 4)

February 14, 2006

The foundation of God stands sure. Everyone that names the name of Christ departs from iniquity. I desire to be a vessel of honor; therefore, I will speak the things that God has said and I will cancel a place for myself among fools. I purge myself from the inspiration of unbelief. Now there is a position guaranteed with the vessels of honor, sanctified, meet for the Lord’s use, and prepared unto every good work. I will not endorse faith and unbelief.

The tongue is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Out of the same mouth should not precede blessing and cursing, for a fountain does not send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter. A fig tree does not bear olive berries. A grape vine does not yield figs and a fountain cannot yield salt water and fresh water. God has placed me on a true vine and planted me as a choice vine; consequently, I should bear the grapes of faith. If I bring forth the wild grapes of unbelief, they are coming from a carnal mind and the inspiration of a wrong spirit. The Lord planted me as a noble vine, a right seed. Because of unbelief, I have allowed myself to be turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto God. I am known by the fruit that I bear. I am a good tree and I will bring forth the good fruit of faith. A corrupt tree brings forth the evil fruit of unbelief. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Wherefore, by my fruit, I am known. Not everyone that saith unto God, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?" He will profess unto them, "I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity." By grace, I will hear him say unto me, "Enter in my good and faithful servant."

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.
