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 Fire of God's Love and the Wind of Beauty Creating Suitable Ashes of Exchange and a Monument of Faithfulness
By
Moses Hightower
A place is prepared for you. Nothing has ever entered into your mind that resembles what I have prepared. This world and the things here can never compare to the heavenly things laid up for those who love me. Your love for me is tested every day by the agents from the prince of the power of the air. The god of the world has stepped up his war against the true church. His wiles are sharp and subtle. The artillery of the enemy is aimed at your mind. Beware of what you hear so that your mind is not corrupted by the words of the enemy. Return to the simplicity that is in Christ Jesus. The simplicity that is in Christ Jesus is the door of the deep things of God. I have chosen the weak things to confound the wise. Do not be high-minded, neither be unthankful, but abound with thanksgiving as you walk by faith. The walk of faith is not a fear of being lost. You must love me more than you fear being lost. You must love me more than you hate evil. The love of God is shed abroad in your heart. Allow it to be your motivation for all that you do. Only the love of God can bring you to the spiritual understanding required for this holy relationship. The love of God was in Christ Jesus. I have placed the same love in the spiritual body of Christ. The body of Christ is the church. The church is called by my name. I am the head of the body. My name is Jesus. Is my body called by a name different from the head?
What is the name of my body if I am the head?
Beware of spirits proclaiming another Jesus. I am the same, yesterday, today, and forever. Give thanks for the name that is above every name. I am God. Have I given another a name above my own?
Lift up your voice in the earth and proclaim the goodness of God and the revelation of Jesus Christ. My goodness has embraced you in a fleshly tabernacle. It has ushered you out of the slumber of human feelings. It has energized you with strength beyond your abilities. It has followed you to the throne of grace and became an altar for bent knees and a broken heart. I have not despised your brokenness. Your thanksgiving has been received as a sweet savor of incense. Your praises are inhabited by my presence and received as a place to enthrone myself. The fire of my love has turned your offering into suitable ashes of exchange, and the wind of beauty has blown your ashes away. The wind of beauty has manifested itself as a monument of my faithfulness, and my name has taken on a special meaning at this altar of praise and prayer.
My name shall be synonymous with love, mercy, and grace unto you. When you think of my name, you shall think of a great light. The many colors of this light shall be unto you as the many things I am. You do not need to look beyond this one name, for all that I am is represented by and equated to my name. My name is holy. My name is good. I am from everlasting to everlasting, and so is my name. As my name is, so am I. Sing unto me, and also sing praises unto my name. Bless me, the Lord, and also bless my name. Give unto me the glory due my name. Call upon me and also call upon my name. Enter into my gates with thanksgiving and into my courts with praise. Be thankful unto me, and bless my name. I am good and my mercy is everlasting. My truth endures to all generations. It has come unto you and made you free.
Give thanks unto me. I am the Lord. Call upon my name and make known my deeds among the people. Sing unto me. Sing spiritual songs unto me and talk of all my wondrous works. Glory in my holy name and let your heart rejoice in me. Give glory unto me and seek my face continually. Seek my strength and remember my marvelous works that I have done. I have remembered my covenant forever. I made a covenant with Abraham. I have remembered you, for you are the seed of Christ, and therefore; the seed of Abraham. Though you are small and few in number, I will stay the hand of your enemies and reprove the mighty if they attempt to do you wrong. Lift up your head and be encouraged in me. I am with you to reprove those who touch you and do you harm. Lift up your head. My name is on you, and you are called by it. Bless my holy name.
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 Agents from the Prince of Power of the Air, Enemies, and Unthankfulness
By Debbie McBee
"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."
The Lord has prepared a place for me. Nothing has ever entered into my mind that resembles what he has prepared for me. This world and the things here can never compare to the heavenly things laid up for those who love him. My love for him is tested every day by the agents from the prince of the power of the air. The god of the world has stepped up his war against the true church. His wiles are sharp and subtle. The artillery of the enemy is aimed at my mind. I must beware of what I hear so that my mind is not corrupted by the words of the enemy. Return to the simplicity that is in Christ Jesus. The simplicity that is in Christ Jesus is the door of the deep things of God.
I have chosen the weak things to confound the wise. I will not be high-minded, neither will I be unthankful, but I will abound with thanksgiving as I walk by faith. The walk of faith is not a fear of being lost. I must love God more than I fear being lost. I must love him more than I hate evil. The love of God is shed abroad in my heart. I will allow it to be my motivation for all that I do. Only the love of God can bring me to the spiritual understanding required for this holy relationship. The love of God was in Christ Jesus. He has placed the same love in the spiritual body of Christ. The body of Christ is the church. The church is called by his name. He is the head of the body. His name is Jesus. His body is not called by a name different from the head.Jesus is the head; therefore the name of the body is Jesus also.
I will beware of spirits proclaiming another Jesus. He is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. I give thanks for the name that is above every name. Jesus is God, and he has not given another a name above his own. I lift up my voice in the earth and proclaim the goodness of God and the revelation of Jesus Christ. His goodness has embraced me in a fleshly tabernacle. It has ushered me out of the slumber of human feelings. It has energized me with strength beyond my abilities.

The many colors of this light shall be unto me as the many things that he is. I do not need to look beyond this one name, for represented by and equated to his name is all that he is. His name is holy. His name is good. He is from everlasting to everlasting, and so is his name. As his name is, so is he. I will sing unto the Lord and also sing praises unto his name. I bless him, the Lord, and also bless his name. I give unto him the glory due his name. I call upon him and also call upon his name. I enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. I am thankful unto him, and I will bless his name. He is good and his mercy is everlasting. His truth endures to all generations. It has come unto me and made me free.
I give thanks unto Jesus. He is the Lord. I will call upon his name and make known his deeds among the people. I will sing unto him.

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.
