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.

Embrace the Faithfulness of God's Promises and Abide in the Joy Supplied by Love (Part 2)

By Moses Hightower

January 11, 2007

Your march in this life could be the march of life to the rhythm of my love and not the march of death to the tune of spiritual taps and the rhythm of a heart's deep regret. The judgment seat of Christ is not the place to make this decision, but today, at the throne of grace, is the day to make your decision concerning life and death. I am a merciful God; therefore, I am presenting to you this day the offer of love. He who believes in me shall never die, yet belief is not simply a confession of the mouth but a confession from the heart and mouth. After which, belief must be demonstrated by the obedience of faith in my death, burial and resurrection. You must believe and die with me in baptism. How will you rise to walk with me if you have not died with me in the waters of baptism?

Allow the waters of life to bring death to self, and then will these same waters lift you unto life with me. The waters that drowned all who were disobedient in the days of Noah also saved Noah and his family. They were saved by water, for the waters of the flood lifted them above the judgment that was in the water. I have come and offered to lift you from the fire of judgment by offering you the Holy Ghost and fire that lifts you from the fire of hell's judgment. Wade into the waters of baptism today, and the fire of love shall lift you from the judgment that is in the fire of hell. I have said, "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who believes not shall be damned." My love has stretched forth its arms for you as I have already manifested the fruit of faith to strengthen you so that you may be able to hear and obey. Hear the voice of justice and judgment as it cried to taste your blood. Hear the voice of spirits in the halls of revenge as they cried out to have you listed with the damned. Hear the voice of jealousy as the accusers of mankind cried out to have you cast into the chambers of torment. If you have listened carefully with hearing ears, then you would know that all who are born shall die. A man is born of a woman and of a few days, yet all his days are full of trouble. I have assured you of an eternal existence of peace where there are no more days and nights. Time shall be no more, yet time in the dimension of time will present you with the opportunity to choose eternity in the light of love or in the darkness of the devil's judgment. As Moses went to Egypt and demanded the deliverance of Jacob's children, I have offered myself for your debts in sin's slavery camp and demanded your freedom from the cruel masters of bondage.

Behold my cross of judgment for you again. Behold my blood for your redemption again. Behold my sufferings for you. Will you remain a captive when such an expensive offering has been given for your freedom?

Will you remain a spiritual pauper when such extraordinary riches have been laid up for you in a kingdom that cannot be conquered?

There are many soldiers of my cross who are enjoying the riches of my exceeding, great kingdom, but if you listen to the voices of Satan's army, you will be deceived and never act upon the faith within you, which shall cause you to join the wealthy warriors of Christ. Many voices speak to discourage your expression of faith. Many voices of unbelief suggest reasons to wait on treasures upon the earth. You will believe the voices of deceit unless you offer yourself as a sacrifice upon the cross of self-denial. Offer yourself to me, and your vision into the heavenlies will not be in vain. I have sent for your help from the hills of heaven. Now embrace the faithfulness of my promises, and abide in the joy supplied by love.

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

Words of Light upon the Face of Confusion, Death, Ignorance, Judgment, and Unbelief (Part 2)

My march in this life could be the march of life to the rhythm of God’s love and not the march of death to the tune of spiritual taps and the rhythm of a heart's deep regret. The judgment seat of Christ is not the place to make this decision, but today, at the throne of grace, is the day to make my decision concerning life and death. God is a merciful God; therefore, today he is presenting to me the offer of love. He who believes in him shall never die, yet belief is not simply a confession of the mouth but a confession from the heart and mouth. After which, belief must be demonstrated by the obedience of faith in Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. I must believe and die with him in baptism. I cannot rise to walk with him if I have not died with him in the waters of baptism. I have allowed the waters of life to bring death to self, and now will these same waters lift me unto life with Jesus. The waters that drowned all who were disobedient in the days of Noah also saved Noah and his family. They were saved by water, for the waters of the flood lifted them above the judgment that was in the water. God has come and offered to lift me from the fire of judgment by offering me the Holy Ghost and fire that lifts me from the fire of hell's judgment. I have waded into the waters of baptism, and the fire of love has lifted me from the judgment that is in the fire of hell.

God has said, "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who believes not shall be damned." His love has stretched forth its arms for me as he has already manifested the fruit of faith to strengthen me so that I may be able to hear and obey. I hear the voice of justice and judgment as it cried to taste my blood. I hear the voice of spirits in the halls of revenge as they cried out to have me listed with the damned. I hear the voice of jealousy as the accusers of mankind cried out to have me cast into the chambers of torment.

I behold his cross of judgment for me again. I behold his blood for my redemption again. I behold his sufferings for me. I purpose not to remain a captive when such an expensive offering has been given for my freedom. I determine not to remain a spiritual pauper when such extraordinary riches have been laid up for me in a kingdom that cannot be conquered.

There are many soldiers of Jesus’ cross who are enjoying the riches of his exceeding, great kingdom, but if I listen to the voices of Satan's army, I will be deceived and never act upon the faith within me, which shall cause me to join the wealthy warriors of Christ.

He has sent for my help from the hills of heaven. Now I embrace the faithfulness of God’s promises, and I abide in the joy supplied by love.

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;)

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.
