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 Redemption Speaking Light and Order in the Face of Crumbling Kingdoms, Stars of Distraction, and Medics of Spiritual Insanity
By
Moses Hightower
Your Redeemer lives inside of you. His hand is poised to bring down wrath upon all unrighteousness and ungodliness. In the face of arriving judgment, the glory of redemption and the power of his love are present. While the pleasures of sin continue to swallow up men into its chaotic belly of deception, the voice of love continues to move upon the face of wasted lives to command order and hope. Do not be distracted from love's power as lovers of iniquity drink it like water. Be drawn to me, and I will show you the glory of the gospel in the face of crumbling kingdoms and erupting dreams. If you are entertained by the inspiration of those whose hope is rooted in a lie, then you will taste the degenerate diet of those who have no hope.
My kingdom is not decaying. It will not disintegrate. If you are in fear, then you have placed your hope in the wrong god and the wrong kingdom. You are beholding the consummation of falling kingdoms. I have already thrown the stone of truth and sent the wind of judgment against these kings and their kingdoms. I am the stone of stumbling and the rock of offense. It is my breath that is blowing away these things. If you have reached to hold onto that which I am blowing away, then you will soar into chaos with the ungodly. The ungodly are not so, for they are as the chaff, which the wind drives away. I am terminating these things. Place your hope in the kingdom of the Stone, for of the increase of my government and peace there is no end.
Behold the creative power of my voice in the earth. In the face of obnoxious threats by voices of fear, the voice of redemption is speaking light and order in the lives of those who call on the name of the Lord. Under the duress (control) of iron-like uncertainty, the mighty constructive power of my word builds success while failure tears down your evil neighbor's lofty, cankering dream. Do not be dismayed, neither be distracted by voices from icons of religious pride. I have not feared fear, and I have not subjected you to the feet of terror and despite. The voice of the light within you is the voice of the Father of lights. The voice of the darkness stands in defiance of my command, yet at my name its image is bowed in your presence.
Do not be pulled from duty and responsibility by the defiance of unruly spirits roaming to and fro. They are stars of distraction and medics of spiritual insanity. Do not allow these spirits to be your practitioners. I am your teacher. I have not consulted the sorcerers of the age to help me in fulfilling my purpose. I am the Lord and I do not change. I have not blown this trash away and decided to use it for growth in my holy kingdom. This trash is contaminated with sin, and as the earth and the heavens it shall pass away. Do not be dismayed by attitudes from the voice of misunderstanding. I am not slack concerning my promise as some men count slackness. Prepare for my coming. The world prepares to reel as a drunken man. I am coming for my bride in the face of this drunkenness. The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. The heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth and the works within the earth shall be burned up. All the things that man has placed his hope in shall be dissolved. Look unto me and behold how they will be dissolved. Seeing that these things shall be dissolved, how much more will I invalidate their effect against you?
Take your eyes off these things, and look for new heavens and a new earth wherein righteousness dwells. Be diligent that you may be found in peace, without spot, and blameless at my coming. Close your ears to the voices of shallow, unlearned, and unstable speeches. Do not listen to their voices, lest you are led away with the error of the wicked. Grow in the grace that is within you. Beware of the spirit of error so that you do not fall from your steadfastness. Hear the voice of creative power in your ears. Let there be righteousness, peace, and joy in my Spirit. Stand, for fear has been cast out.
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 Deception, Distraction, Tormenting Dreams, Fear, Obnoxious Threats, Unrighteousness, Ungodliness, and Voices of Spiritual Insanity
By Milton Rodriguez
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light, and there was light."
My Redeemer lives inside of me. His hand is poised to bring down wrath upon all unrighteousness and ungodliness. In the face of arriving judgment, the glory of redemption and the power of his love are present. While the pleasures of sin continue to swallow up men into its chaotic belly of deception, the voice of love continues to move upon the face of wasted lives to command order and hope. I will not be distracted from love's power as lovers of iniquity drink it like water. I am drawn to Jesus, and he will show me the glory of the gospel in the face of crumbling kingdoms and erupting dreams. If I am entertained by the inspiration of those whose hope is rooted in a lie, then I will taste the degenerate diet of those who have no hope. God’s kingdom is not decaying. It will not disintegrate. If I am in fear, then I have placed my hope in the wrong god and the wrong kingdom. I am beholding the consummation of falling kingdoms. The Lord has already thrown the stone of truth and sent the wind of judgment against these kings and their kingdoms. He is the stone of stumbling and the rock of offense. It is his breath that is blowing away these things. If I have reached to hold onto that which God is blowing away, then I will soar into chaos with the ungodly. The ungodly are not so, for they are as the chaff, which the wind drives away. He is terminating these things. I place my hope in the kingdom of the Stone, for of the increase of his government and peace there is no end.
I behold the creative power of his voice in the earth. In the face of obnoxious threats by voices of fear, the voice of redemption is speaking light and order in the lives of those who call on the name of the Lord. Under the duress of iron-like uncertainty, the mighty constructive power of his word builds success while failure tears down my evil neighbor's lofty, cankering dream. I will not be dismayed, neither will I be distracted by voices from icons of religious pride. He has not feared fear, and he has not subjected me to the feet of terror and despite. The voice of the light within me is the voice of the Father of lights. The voice of the darkness stands in defiance of his command, yet at his name its image is bowed in my presence.

I will beware of the spirit of error so that I do not fall from my steadfastness. I hear the voice of creative power in my ears. I hear the expression, “Let there to be righteousness, peace, and joy in my Spirit. Stand, for fear has been cast out.”
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
