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

Repentance Guarantees a Proper Relationship with God and a Proper Identity Is Realized

February 25, 2006

I have abounded toward you with great grace. Mercy and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have also saluted one another. There is more to their salutation than you have realized. Their embrace was a pledge of my faithfulness to loose you forever from the bondage of death, for you were dead in trespasses and sins. Your praises were received. Your heart of thankfulness was given to you by grace. If grace had not come to you, you would have awakened with a heart of ingratitude, but my favor was awarded to you so that you might offer the sacrifice of praise to me in the face of discouragement. You have stood on the platform of faith and love and waved the banner of love for me. Now by the love that you have expressed, your faith is worked unto a victorious future over all things. As you have sent forth a wave of praise unto me, I have sent forth flourishing blessings toward you. Open your bosom and receive what I have poured out. Be blessed forevermore. I have called you blessed. Now who will curse you?

Encourage the people to arise each day with gratitude on their lips. How will they know how to praise me if they are not grateful for what I have done in their lives?

I have blessed them beyond the measure of what the evil one has expected. Now encourage greater expressions of thanksgiving, and they will plunder the wealth of the wicked that is laid up for them. If they would open their hearts and their mouths with sincere thanks, the fruit of their thanksgiving would act as a giant shovel to load them with the blessing of my goodness. The fruit of goodness has fallen to the ground. It is awaiting harvesters to come and carry it to their barns. Arise and lead the people to the harvest of my goodness. This goodness will lead them to repentance. Repentance will ensure a proper relationship with me, and then will a proper identity be realized.

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 Debt, Defeat, Discouragement, Obligations, Ingratitude, and Lack

February 25, 2006

The Lord has abounded toward me with great grace. Mercy and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have also saluted one another. There is more to their salutation than I have realized. Their embrace was a pledge of God’s faithfulness to loose me forever from the bondage of death, for I was dead in trespasses and sins. My praises were received. My heart of thankfulness was given to me by grace. If grace had not come to me, I would have awakened with a heart of ingratitude, but God’s favor was awarded to me so that I might offer the sacrifice of praise to him in the face of discouragement. I have stood on the platform of faith and love and waved the banner of love for him. Now by the love that I have expressed, my faith is worked unto a victorious future over all things. As I have sent forth a wave of praise unto God, he has sent forth flourishing blessings toward me. I open my bosom and I receive what he has poured out. I am blessed forevermore. He has called me blessed. Now no one will curse me. I will encourage the people to arise each day with gratitude on their lips.

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.
