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.

Ushered into His Presence by the Hands of Love After Being Tempted to Turn Back in the Heat of Battle

By Moses Hightower

 

January 24, 2007

 

The Lord restored the desire for prayer and granted me a broken and contrite heart. After crying out unto him, these words came unto me in the spirit,

I have not willed your defeat by the hand of your enemy, neither have I desired to see you become a fool by the actions of the flesh. I have granted you more grace in the time of weakness and willing disobedience. Though you have disobeyed, I have extended grace and goodness. You will remember my acts of charity toward you when you deserved rejection. My love has ushered you into my presence so that you might hear the voice of grace. The light of mercy has not gone out of your presence, and the hand of favor has not been retracted. I have extended to you the love of my heart and brought you to the throne in heavenly places. My goodness has designed an audience in the presence of angels. My love has granted forbearance. My wisdom has excelled in the presence of evil's plan to disqualify you by subtlety. I have brought you from the clutches of the hunter's trap and allowed you to walk out untouched by the scorching fire of deceit. I have smitten the hand of the designer of wickedness and etched a new love in your heart for obedience and honor. Look again to the light of love, and behold the exceeding greatness of my power working on your behalf. I have brought you to the kingdom for such a time as this. Now will my name be glorified in you and others will be instructed in righteousness and holiness.

Lift your eyes to me again, and behold the awesomeness of what I am doing in the earth everyday. Come unto me with the light of praise, and I will show you the power of forgiveness and redemption. I have lifted the banner of love and washed your eyes to behold it wave over your head that was bowed because of grief and misunderstanding. Look again at the banner flowing in the wind of the last days. What you have perceived as a long time has come to the door of this present time and knocked on your heart. Look no longer at the manifestations of religious philosophies that spoil lives and produce weak testimonies of my love. Come to the place of vision, and behold the vision of the Lord. I have stretched forth the banner of love and waved its victory for you to follow.

The hour is late, and the time is far spent. Awaken out of sleep and slumber, and come join the bride in her closet. You have sat with the spiritual drunkards of the hour whose inspiration has come from the spirit of error, the spirit of antichrist. Do not drink any longer from the wine bottles of error. Cast these bottles into the pit, and do not drink the wine of the whore. Many are drunk on the wine of the whore of spiritual fornication. Their voices are weak with testimonies of unbelief, and the author of confusion confuses their minds. I have invited you to sup with me in the chambers of love. There are no testimonies of unbelief here. There are no lights from the deceiver here.

Look again at the throne room, and behold the scepter of acceptance. I have accepted you in me, the beloved. Now come and accept your sentence of life, instead of the threats from the mouth of spiritual drunkards. The hour is late. Go and sound the alarm. Go and show forth the correct testimonies in the presence of the holy. I have set a trumpet to your mouth. Now sound the alarm. Sound the alarm, and do not fear the attitudes and expressions of those who are drunk on the wine of unbelief. I have given you “hard-headed” faith. Do not fear their faces, and do not look at the intimidating eyes of hate. I have made your faith hard-headed. You will not turn back in the day of battle, but you shall see them fall in the day of battle as Saul fell. Look to the end of this journey, and behold those who stand beside the banner of love on high.

Look to the end of this journey, and behold those who wear the garment of praise at the end. I have placed the garment of praise upon you. Now do not wear the garment of heaviness again. Look to the author and the finisher of your faith. Your author has not come to you and promised rejection. I have come and sealed the completion of the work that I started. I started a good work in you, and I will perform the work. You have looked to yourself and found emptiness. Come from the self-centeredness of your own mind and behold the power of your God and the promise. I have promised. Will I not perform what I promised?

Look unto the completion of the work. You have looked at the adversary long enough. Look away from his show in the dark. His demonstration of actions without power to carry out his plan has fallen to the ground. Now look at the slain warriors of evil in the distance, and behold the church rejoice on the tombstones of evil persecutors. I am the Lord. I do all things well. Will I do a bad work in your presence when I have promised you revival and victory?

Come to the table of victory again, and eat its bread and drink its wine. Do not be drunk on the wine of this world, but be drunk on the Holy Ghost. Come. There is revival in your bosom. Come to the activity of the spirit, and you will behold the wind of a new Pentecost.

 

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)

He has smitten the hand of the designer of wickedness and etched a new love in my heart for obedience and honor.

I look again to the light of love, and I behold the exceeding greatness of God’s power working on my behalf. He has brought me to the kingdom for such a time as this. Now will his name be glorified in me, and others will be instructed in righteousness and holiness. I lift my eyes to the Lord again, and I behold the awesomeness of what he is doing in the earth everyday.

The hour is late, and the time is far spent. I awaken out of sleep and slumber and join the bride in her closet. I have sat with the spiritual drunkards of the hour whose inspiration has come from the spirit of error, the spirit of antichrist. I purpose not to drink any longer from the wine bottles of error. I cast these bottles into the pit, and I do not drink the wine of the whore. Many are drunk on the wine of the whore of spiritual fornication. Their voices are weak with testimonies of unbelief, and the author of confusion confuses their minds. God has invited me to sup with him in the chambers of love.

I will not fear their faces, and I will not look at the intimidating eyes of hate. God has made my faith hard-headed. By grace, I will not turn back in the day of battle, but I shall see them fall in the day of battle as Saul fell. I look to the end of this journey, and I behold those who stand beside the banner of love on high.

I look to the end of this journey, and I behold those who wear the garment of praise at the end. God has placed the garment of praise upon me. I will not wear the garment of heaviness again. I look to the author and the finisher of my faith. My author has not come to me and promised rejection. He has come and sealed the completion of the work that he started. He started a good work in me, and he will perform the work. I have looked to myself and found emptiness. I will come from the self-centeredness of my own mind and behold the power of my God and the promise. He has promised. He will perform what he has promised.

I look unto the completion of the work. I have looked at the adversary long enough. I must look away from his show in the dark. His demonstration of actions without power to carry out his plan has fallen to the ground. I look at the slain warriors of evil in the distance, and I behold the church rejoice on the tombstones of evil persecutors. Jesus is the Lord. He does all things well. He will not do a bad work in my presence when he has promised me revival and victory. I will go to the table of victory again, eat its bread, and drink its wine. I will not be drunk on the wine of this world, but I will be drunk on the Holy Ghost. I will go. There is revival in my bosom. I will go to the activity of the spirit, and I will behold the wind of a new Pentecost.

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.

Ephesians 2:8-9
