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

Spiritual Subtlety and Evil Has No Strategy Against the Power of God

March 8, 2006

I have bound the conspirator against you and yours. Now look to me, the author and the finisher of your faith. I have not led you into a blind alley and a dead-end street to be slaughtered or taken advantage of. I have brought you to this place to be glorified in you. Believe me. I am fair. I am just. I am loyal. I am fair. I am full of mercy and full of grace. Do not lean to your own understanding, but lean on my love for you. Has it ever failed you?

You think that I am not concerned about you and your circumstances. I am. I have allowed these things that I might use you to prevent others from walking into these traps of subtlety and selfishness. The cunning traps of men are not enough for my grace and love for those who seek me diligently. I will reward you according to your faith and your sincerity. Behold the answer that has already been directed toward your bosom of faith. Look with the eyes of faith, and you shall behold the rewards of faithfulness and sincerity. Hidden behind the subtle tactics of the enemy are your blessings, which were foreordained for you. No one can steal it. I laid it up for you. Craftiness cannot prevent my love from rewarding you according to the promises I have made. Look beyond the crafty manifestations, and you shall behold the blessing laid up for you. They are there and cannot be hidden from your eyes, for I have opened them to see the unseen things of the hour. Only believe.

I do not need a private investigator. I know all things. I do not need to investigate the private affairs of men. I know all their doings. Nothing is hidden from my eyes. All things are naked and open to me. Nothing is closed to me. I am the invincible God, and I cannot be defeated. I have all power. I do not have to search for the answers. I know all the answers. You have inquired of me concerning your life. I have heard your prayers and your inquiries. In answer to your inquiry, I say that, “Spiritual subtlety is no match for my wisdom, for there is no counsel, nor strategy against me. Evil has no strategy against my goodness. Do that which is right, and do not attempt to defend yourself.” The power of silence is working for you. Do not be presumptuous because of your seemingly helpless situation. I am with you to unravel this entanglement. Sin has a way of entangling the best of men, but the righteous are delivered out of all their temptations by the hands of goodness and mercy. Behind you is goodness and mercy, which has continually followed you all the days of your life. Look up to me, the author and the finisher of your faith. Have faith in me. Say unto this entanglement, “Be thou untangled and be cast from your life” and it shall be done. I am the giver of life and not the author of this confusion. Come near me, and lean on the everlasting arms. I have undergirded you with my love.

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 Circumstances, Craftiness, Selfishness, and Subtlety

March 8, 2006

The Lord has bound the conspirator against me and mine. I look to Jesus, the author and the finisher of my faith. He has not led me into a blind alley and a dead-end street to be slaughtered or taken advantage of. The Lord has brought me to this place to be glorified in me. I believe the Lord. He is fair, just, and loyal. He is fair. The Lord is full of mercy and full of grace. I do not lean to my own understanding, but I lean on his love for me. His love has never failed me. I thought that the Lord was not concerned about my circumstances and me; however, he is. He has allowed these things that he might use me to prevent others from walking into these traps of subtlety and selfishness. The cunning traps of men are not enough for God’s grace and love for those who seek him diligently. The Lord will reward me according to my faith and my sincerity. I behold the answer that has already been directed toward my bosom of faith. I look with the eyes of faith, and I shall behold the rewards of faithfulness and sincerity. Hidden behind the subtle tactics of the enemy are my blessings, which were foreordained for me. No one can steal it. The Lord laid it up for me. Craftiness cannot prevent God’s love from rewarding me according to the promises he has made. I look beyond the crafty manifestations, and I shall behold the blessing laid up for me. They are there and cannot be hidden from my eyes, for Jesus has opened them to see the unseen things of the hour. I believe.

The Lord does not need a private investigator. He knows all things. He does not need to investigate the private affairs of men. He knows all their doings. Nothing is hidden from the eyes of the Lord.

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.
