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.

Truth Has Been Presented by Judgment and Spared the Bruised Reeds and the Smoking Flax

By Moses Hightower

January 19, 2007

You have preached the gospel. Now do not worry about those who did not believe your report. The arm of the Lord is revealed to whom I reveal it to. Your description of me was as a root out of a dry ground. They looked for human beauty and intellectual philosophy. The gospel did not bring a Christ with form and comeliness. The true gospel describes me without beauty that fallen man desires. When I walked the earth, I was despised, rejected of men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief, and men hid their faces from me. In my humanity, I received the bruising of the Father's pleasure. I was put to grief, and my soul was made an offering for sin. The pleasure of the Lord prospered in my hands as I bore the keys of the kingdom upon my shoulder. I brought the government of God to the earth, and the increase of that government continues in its everlasting increase. I bore the iniquities of all, and by my knowledge, I justified many. I poured out my soul unto death and was numbered with the transgressors. I bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors. I was bruised in a pleasurable manner. Now lift up your heads from your grief and despair. I have allowed you to be bruised in trials; therefore, come and become acquainted with these things with your heads lifted up instead of heads, which hang down. I have brought righteous judgment to the Gentiles. I have spared the bruised reeds and the smoking flax. Behold the judgment that has presented you with the truth. I created the heavens. I stretched them out and spread forth the earth. I am the creator, and am I not able to grant you all things?

Look unto me, and allow salvation to hold your hand and keep you. I am in covenant with you. I opened your blinded eyes and brought you out of the prison of sin. You sat in the darkness of a spiritual prison house. Now are you free. Give glory unto me, the Lord. Sing unto me a new song. Sing my praise from the end of the earth. The wilderness and the cities of the isles lift up their voice. The rocks are singing, and many shout from the top of the mountains. I am given glory and praise in the islands. I have gone forth as a mighty man and stirred up jealousy like a man of war. I have roared and prevailed against your enemies. I will make waste the things against you. I will dry up the pools that have stood before you. I will make darkness light before you and the crooked things straight. I will not forsake you, but I will uphold you and turn back your enemies. Your enemies shall be greatly ashamed, for they have been held by their chains of covetousness, which is idolatry.

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 Despair, Enemies, Grief, and Worry

I have preached the gospel, and I do not worry about those who do not believe my report. The arm of the Lord is revealed to whom he reveals it to. My description of him was as a root out of a dry ground. People looked for human beauty and intellectual philosophy; however, the gospel did not bring them a Christ with form and comeliness. The true gospel describes him without beauty that fallen man desires. When God walked the earth, he was despised, rejected of men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief, and men hid their faces from him. In his humanity, he received the bruising of the Father's pleasure. The Lord was put to grief, and his soul was made an offering for sin. The pleasure of the Lord prospered in his hands as he bore the keys of the kingdom upon his shoulder. He brought the government of God to the earth and the increase of that government continues in its everlasting increase. He bore the iniquities of all, and by his knowledge, he justified many. He poured out his soul unto death and was numbered with the transgressors. Jesus bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors. He was bruised in a pleasurable manner. Now I lift up my head from my grief and despair. The Lord has allowed me to be bruised in trials; therefore, I will become acquainted with the things of grief with my head lifted up instead of my head hanging down. He has brought righteous judgment to the Gentiles and spared the bruised reeds and the smoking flax. I behold the judgment that has presented me with the truth. The Lord created the heavens, stretched them out, and spread forth the earth. He is the creator, and he is able to grant me all things.

I look unto him and allow salvation to hold my hand and keep me. God is in covenant with me. He opened my blinded eyes and brought me out of the prison of sin. I sat in the darkness of a spiritual prison house. Now he has made me free. I give glory unto the Lord. I sing unto him a new song. I sing his praise from the end of the earth. The wilderness and the cities of the isles lift up their voice. The rocks are singing and many shout from the top of the mountains. He is given glory and praise in the islands.

My enemies shall be greatly ashamed, for they have been held by their chains of covetousness, which is idolatry.

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.
