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.

The Voice of Promise Is the Voice of Confidence

By Moses Hightower

The voice of confidence and power speaks unto you. I am the voice of the Lord. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. I am the same, yesterday, today, and forever. I am the Lord, and I do not change. I am the miracle worker for the children of Israel. I have not changed. I am preparing tables in the wilderness of the last days. I am supplying water out of rocks. I AM THAT I AM. I am your confidence. Rely on me and not on what you think about me. You do not know me well enough to base your faith in your knowledge of me. Cast your confidence totally on me. He who comes to me must first believe that I am and that I am the rewarder of those who diligently seek me. I have said, “I will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly.” Walk in the righteousness of faith and not in the unrighteousness of faith in your own faith. Behold the uprightness of the walk of the Lamb of God. Behold his completed work as the sacrificial Lamb. Did he complete his work in the earth? Then struggle no longer with your emotions that run to and fro before my throne in an attempt to impress me. I am not impressed by anything that you do, except to believe. Have faith in me. You have asked for a miracle. Now do you trust me to give you a miracle?

You have searched your life for qualifications. You have searched for reasons to be blessed in such a magnitude. Ten dollars and ten million dollars are the same to me. I have come looking for faith in you. I gave you the measure of faith. Now where is it?

Do not be intimidated by the size of the miracle that you need. You are using comparative reasoning to determine if I will perform the miracle for you. Do not use this erroneous concept of faith in my presence, for I am not a respecter of persons, neither am I a liar. You are a liar, but I am true. Do not allow the size of your need to reduce you to a beggar before my throne, but rise up in the stature of faith and express your need as a son who has been made a joint-heir to all that I have. I own everything. I am the head of all principality and power. Now speak my name while you humble yourself unto the authority of my word and my promises. I am true. Ask and you shall receive. You have never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread or money. I have invited you to come boldly unto my throne of grace that you may obtain mercy and find grace to help you in the time of need. I desire to give you the miracle more than you desire it. I foreknew you, called you, and justified you. If I am for you, then who can be against you?

I did not spare my own Son. I delivered him up for all of you. Who will persuade me to not give you all things with the Son that I offered?

An enemy has accused you. You are among the elect of God. Who shall lay anything to your charge?

I am the one who justifies. Who is he that will condemn you?

Look to the one who is making intercession for you. He died for you and is raised again. Now only believe that love is on your side and that nothing can separate you from the love of Christ. The Holy Ghost that is freely given to you sheds it abroad in your heart. What value do you place on the Holy Ghost that resides in your body?

Then is there anything that I will not give unto you?

Only believe.

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 Accusations, Comparative Reasoning, Emotions, Lack of Confidence, Lack of Understanding, and Self-Righteousness

By Linda Galati

The voice of confidence and power speaks unto me. It is the voice of the Lord. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. He is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. He is the Lord, and he does not change. He is the miracle worker for the children of Israel. He has not changed. He is preparing tables in the wilderness of the last days. He is supplying water out of rocks. HE IS THAT HE IS. He is my confidence. I rely on him and not on what I think about him. I do not know him well enough to base my faith in my knowledge of him. I cast my confidence totally on him. He who comes to God must first believe that he is and that he is the rewarder of those who diligently seek him. He has said, “I will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly.” By grace, I will walk in the righteousness of faith and not in the unrighteousness of faith in my own faith. I behold the uprightness of the walk of the Lamb of God. I behold his completed work as the sacrificial Lamb. He completed his work in the earth.

I will not struggle any longer with my emotions that run to and fro before the Lord’s throne in an attempt to impress him. He is not impressed by anything that I do, except to believe. I will have faith in him. I have asked for a miracle. Now I must trust him to give me a miracle.

I have searched my life for qualifications. I have searched for reasons to be blessed in such a magnitude. Ten dollars and ten million dollars are the same to God. He has come looking for faith in me. He gave me the measure of faith, and now faith is in me; therefore, I will not be intimidated by the size of the miracle that I need. I have been using comparative reasoning to determine if God will perform the miracle for me. I will not use this erroneous concept of faith in his presence, for he is not a respecter of persons, neither is he a liar. I am a liar, but God is true. I will not allow the size of my need to reduce me to a beggar before his throne, but I rise up in the stature of faith, and I express my need as a son who has been made a joint-heir to all that God has. He owns everything. He is the head of all principality and power. Now I speak his name while I humble myself unto the authority of his word and his promises. He is true. I will ask, and I shall receive. I have never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread or money. God has invited me to come boldly unto his throne of grace that I may obtain mercy and find grace to help me in the time of need. He desires to give me the miracle more than I desire it. He foreknew me, called me, and justified me. He is for me, now no one can be against me.

God did not spare his own Son. He delivered him up for all of us. No one can persuade him to not give me all things with the Son that he offered. An enemy has accused me. I am among the elect of God. No one shall lay anything to my charge. God is the one who justifies. Now no one can condemn me; therefore, I look to the one who is making intercession for me. He died for me and is raised again. Now I believe that love is on my side and that nothing can separate me from the love of Christ. The Holy Ghost that is freely given to me sheds it abroad in my heart. I place a great value on the Holy Ghost that resides in my body, so now there is nothing that God will not give unto me. I believe.

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.
