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

The Knock of the Bridegroom at the Door of My Heart

By Moses Hightower

January 21, 2007

I have knocked at the door of your heart this morning. If you will hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and will sup with you. You must desire to sup with me if you are to receive the inspiration and fellowship that I have designed for you to receive. I have removed sleep from your eyes, but is your heart awake?

Does your heart know that it is the voice of your beloved that knocks?

I have placed my hand by the hole of the door of your heart, but you were not moved for me. You were moved for other things that had no real value. What value have you placed on this fellowship and communion that has been offered to you?

You must learn to open unto me immediately when I call at the door of your heart, or you shall miss my coming. Those who wait on me will hear me when I come and knock so that they may open unto me immediately. This is a precious thing that has been given to you. You have taken it for granted. Instead of hands of gratitude and fingers of affection for me, you have given your hands and fingers to other things in the morning. I could have withdrawn myself and left the door of your heart, but my loving-kindness motivated me to linger at the door of your heart. I am not far from anyone of my people. If they would only happily feel after me and seek me with all of their heart, they would find me.

The world cannot know me, but you know me. I have given you peace and many blessings. The things that I have given you are not as the things that the world gives, so do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Rise up with a grateful heart and be filled with the voice of thanksgiving. Blessed are the people of the Lord who will be found watching. I will make everyone who watches to sit down and eat meat with me. Do not lose your relationship with me to a thief. I will come in an hour that you think not; therefore, be ready always. If you do not have faith to watch, then how will you have faith as a grain of mustard seed?

If you do not have faith to say unto yourself, “Watch”, how will you say unto the sycamine tree, “Be thou plucked up by the root and be planted in the sea”?

Arise and worship out of a love for me and not out of duty. Do you love me?

Then keep my words. I will come unto you continually if you love me and keep my sayings. These words that you are hearing are the words of the Father who lives inside of you. Be thankful that you are called and chosen. Now be faithful. Prepare yourself for my coming. My wife will make herself ready. She shall be given grace that she might be arrayed in fine linen, clean, and white. She shall be adorned with the righteousness of saints. I have sent out the call unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. If you dishonor me, how will you be ready when I come for my wife?

Though you express gladness and rejoice to the music in your worship services, these things will not prepare you for the catching away of my wife. You must give honor to me in all things. Prepare yourself, for heaven is being prepared to open up as I prepare to judge and make war. The armies of heaven are prepared already. I shall tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of God. I shall come with my armies. All shall know that I am KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Call on my name and be delivered, for the hour cometh when I shall come to judge all ungodliness. I have sanctified you through the truth. Remain faithful and receive the grace to endure unto the end, then you will be saved.

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 Ingratitude, Cold Love, and Spiritual Sleep

By Linda Galati

January 21, 2007

God has knocked at the door of my heart this morning. If I will hear his voice and open the door, he will come in to me and will sup with me. I must desire to sup with him if I am to receive the inspiration and fellowship that he has designed for me to receive. He has removed sleep from my eyes, but my heart must be awake also. My heart must know that it is the voice of my beloved that knocks. God has placed his hand by the hole of the door of my heart, but I was not moved for him. I was moved for other things that had no real value. I have not placed a proper value on this fellowship and communion that has been offered to me. I must learn to open unto the Lord immediately when he calls at the door of my heart, or I shall miss his coming. Those who wait on him will hear him when he comes and knocks so that they may open unto him without delay. This is a precious thing that has been given to me. I have taken it for granted. Instead of hands of gratitude and fingers of affection for God, I have given my hands and fingers to other things in the morning. God could have withdrawn himself and left the door of my heart, but his loving-kindness motivated him to linger at the door of my heart. He is not far from anyone of his people. If they would only happily feel after him and seek him with all of their heart, they would find him.

The world cannot know God, but I know him. He has given me peace and many blessings. The things that he has given me are not as the things that the world gives, so I will not let my heart be troubled, neither will I let it be afraid. I rise up with a grateful heart, and I am filled with the voice of thanksgiving. Blessed are the people of the Lord who will be found watching. He will make everyone who watches to sit down and eat meat with him. I purpose not to lose my relationship with him to a thief. Jesus will come in an hour that I do not think that he is coming; therefore, I must be ready always. If I do not have faith to watch, then I will not have faith as a grain of mustard seed. If I do not have faith to say unto myself, “Watch”, I will not say unto the sycamine tree, “Be thou plucked up by the root and be planted in the sea.”

I arise and worship out of a love for God and not out of duty. I love the Lord, my God. I determine to keep his words, and he will come unto me continually since I love him and keep his sayings. These words that I am hearing are the words of the Father who lives inside of me. I am thankful that I am called and chosen. By God’s grace, I will be faithful. I prepare myself for his coming. His wife will make herself ready. She shall be given grace that she might be arrayed in fine linen, clean, and white. She shall be adorned with the righteousness of saints. God has sent out the call unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. If I dishonor him, I will not be ready when he comes for his wife. Though I express gladness and rejoice to the music in our worship services, these things will not prepare me for the catching away of the Lord’s wife. I must give honor to him in all things. I will prepare myself, for heaven is being prepared to open up as God prepares to judge and make war. The armies of heaven are prepared already. The Lord shall tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of God. He shall come with his armies. All shall know that he is KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. I call on his name, and I will be delivered, for the hour cometh when he shall come to judge all ungodliness. He has sanctified me through the truth. By grace, I will remain faithful and receive the grace to endure unto the end. Now, I know that I will be saved.

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.
