CHILDREN'S BREAD

Great Grace to Look beyond the Circumstances and Behold the Victory Now and at the End of the Circumstances

By Moses Hightower

January 16, 2007

I have called you to testify concerning the resurrection. Do it with the power of my Spirit, and great grace shall be upon you. My grace labors and enables you to accomplish solutions to the complex and simple problems of the hour. Lean on me and not on yourself, and you will experience the fullness of my grace. I have a fullness that you have never experienced. I have a testimony that you have never expressed. I have a light that you have never beheld. Look again to the favor given you, and you will find the benefits in the gift that you have overlooked.

I am refining your experience. Abundance of mercy is at work on your behalf. Though you deserved judgment, I have given you an abundance of my mercy to lift you and bring you out of the consequences of your mistakes and entrapments by the enemy. I am very rich in mercy. When you were dead in trespasses and sins, I expressed my extreme kindness toward you. This same kindness is expressing its nature and victory toward you. Experience the victory that comes by my kindness toward you. You should have perished, but the riches of my grace rained kindness upon you. Now allow the enabling grace that has made you acceptable in my sight to abound. Enabling grace is leaping with you in its arms. I am carrying you. I brought you out of darkness and into my marvelous light. I brought you out of the devil's family and into the family of the Most High God. How much more will I bring you out of every snare and every temptation?

You are not a minister of the gospel because of your human achievements. You are what you are by my grace. The grace that I have given is an effectual grace, which is laboring abundantly and effectual unto total victory and success in the kingdom of God. Do not fear the threats of the enemy. You have abounded unto a good work. I expressed my fullness to save you. Now I am expressing my fullness in keeping you and enabling you to accomplish the fulfillment of my vision; therefore, do not fear, neither be afraid of failure's threat. I am sending forth an expression of grace that shall transform you. By my grace, I am doing more than you could ask or think. You are a new creature in me. Now lift up your eyes from the tree of man's knowledge and look to the knowledge of God Almighty. I am the same, yesterday, today, and forever. In me, there is no darkness. In me, there is no defeat. With every trial, you are growing in my grace and in the knowledge of me, your Lord and Savior; therefore, be strong in this grace and show forth the testimony of my victory. Though you have sinned and fallen short of my glory, you are justified and counted righteous. Sin cannot rule over you. Sin must bow to my name. Do not continue in the altar of prostrated sin. Grace shall only abound as you continue in righteousness and holiness.

Do not take your relationship with me for granted, but realize that which is available to you is a blessing and a free gift. Do not use the blessing of forgiveness as an opportunity and occasion to sin and serve the flesh and the world. Many have lost their relationship with me and become slaves to another master because they took me for granted. Come to the altar of repentance and be broken on me. Repent and acknowledge your helplessness to live victoriously without my grace and me. Do not deceive yourself and say that you have no sin, but be honest, and you will not miss the grace that looks for you in this very hour. You can do nothing of yourself, but through me you can do all things. Do all things by grace, and then you will not falter and stumble over your own efforts and failures. Do all things by grace, then will you seek to please me and not seek the gratification of your flesh and self. I have touched you with my mighty grace. Now stretch forth your hands and touch the scepter of righteousness. I have beckoned you to come into the throne room; therefore, receive of mercy and grace. It is enough for every dilemma and all circumstances. Look beyond your circumstances and behold the victory now and at the end of the circumstances.

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)

Words of Light upon the Face of Circumstances, Defeat, Entrapments, Failure, Problems, Mistakes, and Sins

By Milton Rodriguez

January 16, 2007

God has called me to testify concerning the resurrection. I will do it with the power of his Spirit, and great grace shall be upon me. God’s grace labors and enables me to accomplish solutions to the complex and simple problems of the hour. I lean on Christ and not on myself, and I will experience the fullness of his grace. God has a fullness that I have never experienced. He has a testimony that I have never expressed and a light that I have never beheld. I look again to the favor given me, and I will find the benefits in the gift that I have overlooked.

The Lord is refining my experience. Abundance of mercy is at work on my behalf. Though I deserved judgment, he has given me an abundance of his mercy to lift me and bring me out of the consequences of my mistakes and entrapments by the enemy. God is very rich in mercy. When I was dead in trespasses and sins, he expressed his extreme kindness toward me. This same kindness is expressing its nature and victory toward me. I experience the victory that comes by God’s kindness toward me. I should have perished, but the riches of God’s grace rained kindness upon me. I allow the enabling grace that has made me acceptable in his sight to abound. Enabling grace is leaping with me in its arms. The Lord is carrying me. He brought me out of darkness and into his marvelous light. He brought me out of the devil's family and into the family of the Most High God. In a greater measure, he will also bring me out of every snare and every temptation. I am not a minister of the gospel because of my human achievements. I am what I am by his grace. The grace that God has given is an effectual grace, which is laboring abundantly and effectual unto total victory and success in the kingdom of God.

I will not fear the threats of the enemy. I have abounded unto a good work. The Lord expressed his fullness to save me. Now he is expressing his fullness in keeping me and enabling me to accomplish the fulfillment of his vision; therefore, I do not fear, neither will I be afraid of failure's threat. God is sending forth an expression of grace that shall transform me. By his own grace, God is doing more than I could ask or think. I am a new creature in Christ. Now I lift up my eyes from the tree of man's knowledge and look to the knowledge of God Almighty. God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. In Christ, there is no darkness. In Christ, there is no defeat. With every trial, I am growing in God’s grace and in the knowledge of him, my Lord and Savior; therefore, I will be strong in this grace and show forth the testimony of his victory. Though I have sinned and fallen short of his glory, I am justified and counted righteous. Sin cannot rule over me. Sin must bow to the Lord’s name. I will not continue in the altar of prostrated sin. Grace shall only abound as I continue in righteousness and holiness. I do not take my relationship with God for granted, but I realize that which is available to me is a blessing and a free gift. I will not use the blessing of forgiveness as an opportunity and occasion to sin and serve the flesh and the world. Many have lost their relationship with Christ and become slaves to another master because they took Jesus for granted. I come to the altar of repentance. Here at the altar, I will be broken on Christ. I repent and acknowledge my helplessness to live victoriously without God’s grace and God himself.

I will not deceive myself and say that I have no sin, but I will be honest about my condition. I will not miss the grace that looks for me in this very hour. I can do nothing of myself, but through Christ I can do all things. I will do all things by grace; therefore, I will not falter and stumble over my own efforts and failures. I will do all things by grace, and now will I seek to please God and not seek the gratification of my flesh and self. God has touched me with his mighty grace. Now I stretch forth my hands and touch the scepter of righteousness. God has beckoned me to come into the throne room; therefore, I receive of mercy and grace. It is enough for every dilemma and all circumstances. I look beyond my circumstances and behold the victory now and at the end of the circumstances.

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.
