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 8)

February 18, 2006

Look away to the blood and you will see how untouchable faith has made you. You are as the firstborn of Israel who could not be touched by the destroying power of death in Egypt. Rest under the covering of my blood and do not allow the screams of the inhabitants of the earth to affect your faith. You are secure in me. Send forth the trumpets of praise. Encompass the territories that I have promised you and march with a victorious strut of confidence. The walls of doubt will not stand before the fist of my presence. I have hidden my fist of deliverance inside of your praises. Now go forth with this hidden weapon inside of confident praises. The walls of resistance shall not stand, for I have ordained the walls of your enemy to become a highway for your feet. Run this race with confidence and do not be discouraged by the kingdoms of this world. Leap for joy as you live in this world filled with mouths of violence. My grace shall stop the mouths of the lions of trouble. My peace shall quell the fire of confusion. My love shall snatch you from the fearful swing of death's sword. Rise up and experience my strength exploding out of your weakness. Rise up and experience the power of the resurrection as it puts to flight this army of discouraging things. Prepare me a throne of praise, and I shall enthrone myself in the seat of your expression of love and confidence.

I have given you the measure of faith. Now allow the love that I shed abroad in your heart to work that faith, and you will see great and mighty things that you do not know. It is the hour of a great manifestation of my power in the earth. The power of the resurrection works in you. The same power that brought forth Christ from the dead dwells in you. It is poised to come forth with the fruit of the resurrection in its hands. The shower of love is turned on to wash away the stench of death. Victory is expressing its song of deliverance. Compassion has quelled fear and left it helpless in your sight. Joy has supplied strength in your time of weakness. Peace has leaped in the path of confusion and commanded it to halt.

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)

I look away to the blood and I will see how untouchable faith has made me. I am as the firstborn of Israel who could not be touched by the destroying power of death in Egypt. I will rest under the covering of Jesus’ blood and I will not allow the screams of the inhabitants of the earth to affect my faith. I am secure in Christ. I send forth the trumpets of praise. I encompass the territories that he has promised me and I march with a victorious strut of confidence. The walls of doubt will not stand before the fist of his presence. He has hidden his fist of deliverance inside of my praises. Now I will go forth with this hidden weapon inside of confident praises. The walls of resistance shall not stand, for God has ordained the walls of my enemy to become a highway for my feet. I run this race with confidence and I will not be discouraged by the kingdoms of this world. I leap for joy as I live in this world filled with mouths of violence. God’s grace shall stop the mouths of the lions of trouble. His peace shall quell the fire of confusion. His love shall snatch me from the fearful swing of death's sword. I rise up and experience his strength exploding out of my weakness. I rise up and experience the power of the resurrection as it puts to flight this army of discouraging things. I prepare God a throne of praise, and he shall enthrone himself in the seat of my expression of love and confidence.

The Lord has given me the measure of faith. Now I allow the love that he shed abroad in my heart to work that faith, and I will see great and mighty things that I do not know.

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.
