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.

CHILDREN'S BREAD

Series 5.1.9 - #9

Called from the Stage of Emotional Appeal to War with the Good Fight of Faith (Part 2)

By Moses Hightower

There is a deep hole dug before your feet. Do not worry about it. Simply yield to me as a child, and trust my wisdom and my providence for you. Earthly maturity will not suffice in this journey through spirit-made pits. I have not planned a pit as a dwelling place for you, but devils have. I have shined the light of revelation in your path. Now walk in the light of righteousness and confidence in me. Do not listen to the applause of man, for it is deceptive. It is simply reaching for the pride within you. In your flesh, there is the pride of life. It desires to express itself through you. Do not allow it to express itself, but yield to me by allowing the power of silence and the power of prayer to work for you, and you shall see the great victory that I will manifest. I have not relinquished you to yourself, nor to the will of your enemies. I have invested much in you, and I will protect you from all harm. Who is it that will harm you if you continue to follow that which is good?

Follow peace with all men and holiness, and then will you enjoy your fellowship with me without the estranged feelings from the darkness of your emotions. You will see me clearer as you follow in this manner. I am not visible to those who have impure hearts. I am not visible to those who do not follow after peace with all men and holiness. Moses saw me, who is invisible. Man does not have power over my invisibility, but I allow some who are spiritual to see as Moses saw. The voice of the enemy seeks to discourage you and turn you from faith. Where will you turn if unbelief becomes your destination?

Unbelief is evil. It is a disease that spoils the heart and blinds you to the vision of the Lord. Shun even the appearance of unbelief. I am faithful; therefore, trust as a child, and do not yield to the effects of the voice waves of the spirit of antichrist. I have given you much; therefore, much is required of you. I have restored your lost desire for much prayer. Grace has leaped into your path again and arrested you one more time. Do not flee again unto the chambers of carnality and worldliness. You say, “When have I run to worldliness?”

The pride of life is of the world. The lust of the eye and the lust of the flesh are of the world. Choose prayer and fasting as a lifestyle, and you will behold the weakness of the world and its fruit fall at your feet in the baskets of spoil. Allow the world's fruit to spoil on its vines. Do not eat the trash and putrefaction of things that are passing away. Eat from the tree of life, for I have fresh fruit that you have never tasted. I am giving you a new appetite for spiritual things. Receive of it now, for I place it within you by my Spirit. Lift your hands and give thanks. I am the Lord, your God.

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?

Amos 3: 7 - 8

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)

CONFESSION OF FAITH

Series 5.1.9 - #9

Words of Light upon the Face of Carnality, Emotional Appeal, Pride, Sins, Self-Righteousness, Unbelief, and Worldliness (Part 2)

There is a deep hole dug before my feet. I will not worry about it. I simply yield to Jesus as a child and trust his wisdom and his providence for me. Earthly maturity will not suffice in this journey through spirit-made pits. God has not planned a pit as a dwelling place for me, but devils have. God has shined the light of revelation in my path. Now I will walk in the light of righteousness and confidence in the Lord. I will not listen to the applause of man, for it is deceptive. It is simply reaching for the pride within me. In my flesh, there is the pride of life. It desires to express itself through me. I determine to not allow it to express itself, but I will yield to God by allowing the power of silence and the power of prayer to work for me. Now I shall see the great victory that he will manifest. God has not relinquished me to myself nor to the will of my enemies. He has invested much in me, and he will protect me from all harm. No one can harm me if I continue to follow that which is good.

By grace, I will follow peace with all men and holiness; therefore, will I enjoy my fellowship with the Lord without the estranged feelings from the darkness of my emotions. I will see him clearer as I follow in this manner. Jesus is not visible to those who have impure hearts. He is not visible to those who do not follow after peace with all men and holiness. Moses saw God, who is invisible. Man does not have power over his invisibility, but he allows some who are spiritual to see as Moses saw. The voice of the enemy seeks to discourage me and turn me from faith. I will turn to the arm of flesh if unbelief becomes my destination. Unbelief is evil. It is a disease that spoils the heart and will blind me to the vision of the Lord. I shun even the appearance of unbelief. Jesus is faithful; therefore, I trust as a child and will not yield to the effects of the voice waves of the spirit of antichrist. God has given me much; therefore, much is required of me. He has restored my lost desire for much prayer. Grace has leaped into my path again and arrested me one more time. I will not flee again unto the chambers of carnality and worldliness.

I will eat from the tree of life, for God has fresh fruit that I have never tasted. Jesus is giving me a new appetite for spiritual things. I receive of it now, for he is placing it within me by his Spirit. I lift my hands and give thanks, for Jesus is the Lord, my God.

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;)

Hebrews 10:22 - 23

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.
