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.

7:27-28

Buckets of Joy, the Instruments for Drawing Water from the Wells of Salvation
By
Moses Hightower
January 30, 2007
I have awakened you another day. Now put on your strength. Put on your beautiful garments of praise. Do not sell yourself for naught, for you are redeemed without money. There is no dust on you. There are no bands on your neck. You are not in bondage. Though many are taken into captivity in this hour, you dwell in liberty. I have sent revival into your midst. The people are loosed, and joy is in their expressions unto me. Continue to carry them good tidings and publish peace. I have declared your feet beautiful upon the mountains of the last days. Go and speak good tidings of good. Go and publish salvation among my people. Go and say, “Your God reigneth!”
Go and remove lamenting and mourning from the midst of the people with the washing of water by the living word. Many are expressing themselves with tearful faces, and the voices of the plaintful* souls contend for positions in the congregations. They seek to drain the true children of their joy and persuade them to follow their paths of moody worship. Go and lift up your voice as a watchman and tell them to break forth into joy and sing the new songs of the spirit, which are given freely to those who are yielded unto the abundance of grace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! My holy arm shall be seen by all nations, and the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of the true God. There is a time to weep and a time to laugh. There is a time to mourn and a time to dance. This is not the time for weeping and mourning. I have brought you into the good land of plenty. I have not left you in a spiritual Babylon where people sit down and weep at the remembrance of the house of God and the good land of liberty. There is a spirit warring against my people that tempts them to hang their harps of praise upon the weeping willows planted in their midst. It is a spirit of bondage that has seduced many and brought them into captivity. This spirit will require of them the songs from the house of God that they may mock their relationship with their God. This spirit will carry away my people into a strange land of false joy and spiritual pretense. How will they sing the Lord's songs in a land of bondage where there is no real joy and the abundance of hypocrisy?
I desire to deliver the people out of the hand of this enemy. My anger is turned away, and now I am comforting the people of my body. I am their salvation. Tell them to trust and not be afraid, for I am their strength and their song. Show them the bucket to use to draw waters out of the wells of salvation, for many are attempting to draw living waters without the buckets of joy. I have said, “With joy shall they draw water out of the wells of salvation.” Without the bucket of joy, there is no means to draw out of these living waters. Go and preach that I have given them freely buckets without holes that they may be washed and refreshed from the deep fountains of living water.
(* Plaintful: Containing a plaint; complaining; expressing sorrow with an audible voice. ''My plaintful tongue.'' -- P. Sidney)
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 Bondage, Captivity, Enemies, Lamenting, Mourning, and Sorrow

The Lord has awakened me another day. I have put on my strength. I put on my beautiful garments of praise. I will not sell myself for naught, for I am redeemed without money. There is no dust on me. There are no bands on my neck. I am not in bondage. Though many are taken into captivity in this hour, I dwell in liberty. God has sent revival into my midst. The people are loosed, and joy is in their expressions unto God. I will continue to carry them good tidings and publish peace. God has declared my feet beautiful upon the mountains of the last days. I will go and speak good tidings of good. I will go and publish salvation among God’s people. I will go and say, “Your God reigneth!”
I will go and remove lamenting and mourning from the midst of the people with the washing of water by the living word. Many are expressing themselves with tearful faces, and the voices of the plaintful souls contend for positions in the congregations. They seek to drain the true children of their joy and persuade them to follow their paths of moody worship. I will go and lift up my voice as a watchman and tell them to break forth into joy and sing the new songs of the spirit, which are given freely to those who are yielded unto the abundance of grace.
I rejoice! The Lord’s holy arm shall be seen by all nations, and the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of the true God. There is a time to weep and a time to laugh. There is a time to mourn and a time to dance. This is not the time for weeping and mourning. God has brought me into the good land of plenty. He has not left me in a spiritual Babylon where people sit down and weep at the remembrance of the house of God and the good land of liberty. There is a spirit warring against God’s people that tempts them to hang their harps of praise upon the weeping willows planted in their midst. It is a spirit of bondage that has seduced many and brought them into captivity. This spirit will require of them the songs from the house of God that they may mock their relationship with their God. This spirit will carry away God’s people into a strange land of false joy and spiritual pretense. They will not be able to sing the Lord's songs in a land of bondage where there is no real joy and the abundance of hypocrisy. God desires to deliver the people out of the hand of this enemy. His anger is turned away, and now he is comforting the people of his body. He is their salvation. I will tell them to trust and not be afraid, for God is their strength and their song. I will show them the bucket to use to draw waters out of the wells of salvation, for many are attempting to draw living waters without the buckets of joy. The Lord has said, “With joy shall they draw water out of the wells of salvation.” Without the bucket of joy, there is no means to draw out of these living waters. I will go and preach that Christ has given them freely buckets without holes that they may be washed and refreshed from the deep fountains of living water.
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.
