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.

Peace in the Midst of the Storm Caused by the Breath of Condemnation's Wind
By
Moses Hightower
January 18, 2007
I have brought unto you plenteous redemption by the holy blood of Jesus Christ. The enemy cannot tread upon this sanctified blood. The blood of the Lamb of God is not an avenue for lions and vultures, but the sanctified blood is a new and living way for the redeemed. As long as condemnation is in the earth, then shall you feel the wind from its breath. As long as sin is in the world, you shall feel the effect of its wrath. Do not be troubled by the wind of condemnation and the effects from the wrath of sin, for my grace is sufficient for you. Grace has supplied you with a sure anchor in this time of trouble. I have given you the anchor, but you must anchor yourself in me. Many lives have been destroyed on the waters of life because many have placed their trust in the vehicles of man and flesh. If you lean on the arm of flesh instead of the arm of the Lord, you will be sabotaged by your own unbelief. Trust in the name of the Lord. Do you remember the name of the Lord that saved you while you were burning on the stormy sea of your past life?
Then that same name shall save you in this very hour. Do not rely on the speedboats of the hour. Do not rely on the small boats of man's ideals. They are not sufficient for your journey. They shall be turned to and fro by the winds of adversity, but the ship of Zion shall not be tossed by any wind. It shall remain steadfast and immovable through every storm. I have given you the faith of Jesus Christ. Now stop comparing yourself to all these things. I did not spare my only begotten son, but I delivered him up for you and have given you all things that pertain unto life and godliness. Come from your religious concepts of spirituality and abide in me, the ship of Zion. I am not religion speeding through this earth on a voyage of entertainment and self-indulgences. I am seeking and saving those who are lost. Many have rose up to play and called it the joy of salvation. True joy will come when you rejoice with the angels who are excited about the repenting sinners. No sea is too stormy when you are seeking the lost. I have come to give you directions. You have used traditions of man to detect what I am doing in the earth. I am not found by the radar systems of traditions. Seek me with a whole heart, and you will be given the vision of soul-winning for this hour of salvation. Man's mind cannot detect the way of my Spirit. Come unto the throne of grace and look through the eyes of faith, and then will you behold the clear light of direction, which is given by the mind of Christ.
I am not hiding my will and the right direction from you. It is clearly revealed unto those who are called according to my purpose and those who love me. Those who love me shall cleave to me. When you have left your own reasoning and your own understanding and rooted yourself in love, then will you cease worrying about controlling your destiny. Give me the controls of your life. How can you relinquish the controls without giving me all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength?
When you have sought me with all your heart, in that day, you will surely find me and abide in the perfect will of God. The ship of Zion is not in trouble on the seas of life. I am not troubled, neither is my body. The gates of hell are not going to prevail against my body, then how will trouble in this hour prevail against you?
You are distracted because you have insisted on your own way. I have already said, "Lean not to your own understanding, for there is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the ends thereof is death." My way is not a seemingly right path, but it is the path of faith. Faith is speaking. Faith is granting you a good report as it did for the elders. Faith is expressing new visions of peace in the midst of all these things in the earth. Faith will frame your vision and blot out the illusions of being sabotaged by the adversary and his host.
Rise up and proclaim the gospel. I am prepared to do a work that you will not believe. Place your confidence in me and my word, not in how much you have prayed, how much you have fasted, how holy you have walked, how much you know, neither in what relationship you have with man. I have accepted you in me. Now believe the gospel that saved you. Now believe that gospel that you have preached. Now believe the gospel that you stand in right now. This gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Preach the gospel. It is the news that brings peace and glad tidings. Preach the gospel of my kingdom, and your feet shall be shod with beauty. I have desired to grant you the feet that can travel through the land of serpents and vipers, which hinder the work of God. Preach the gospel of peace, and I will grant you beautiful feet. I am the God of peace. Satan is bruised under your feet of beauty. I have calmed the storms of life and granted you an open door into the camp of the enemy where those appointed unto salvation reside. Accept my peace and go on to minister instead of adhering to the threats of the adversary. I have set before you a door that he cannot shut. My peace I give. My power is real and effective against all the war tactics of the enemy. Rise up and proclaim your peace. It passes all of your understanding.
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 Condemnation, Criticism, Persecutors, and Weakness

I trust in the name of the Lord. Jesus is his name. He is the one that saved me while I was burning on the stormy sea of my past life. His same name shall save me in this very hour.

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.
