CHILDREN'S BREAD

Settle Down in the Fire of Trial, Be Still, and Know That God Is Your Refuge (Part 2)

By Moses Hightower

Cease your inquiries as to why the fire of the trial. Do not allow your flesh to create a sorrowful creature of unbelief. Break forth into singing and enlarge the place that you dwell in. Lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes, for you shall break forth on the right hand and on the left hand with souls for my kingdom. The fruit of your sowing is coming up. You shall also reap where you did not sow. You shall not be ashamed neither shall you be confounded. You shall rise up in faith and shall not be put to shame. I am your Maker. I have become your husband. The Lord of hosts is my name. I have redeemed you. I am God. I am called the God of the whole earth.

Do not think of yourself as some pitiful creature without a defense. You have felt like a woman forsaken. You have been grieved in your spirit. For a short space and a small moment have you felt this way, but now with great mercies have I gathered you unto myself to allow my blessings and provisions to abound toward you. With everlasting kindness, I have allowed mercy to come upon you. I am not wroth with you, for I have not chosen you unto wrath but unto eternal salvation. My everlasting kindness shall not depart from you. The covenant of my peace shall not be removed. I am making a beautiful vessel out of you. I am establishing you in righteousness. Do not fear, for I have sent oppression far from you. Terror has been sent away, and it shall not come near you any more. Only believe. Though men gather together against you, they shall not stand with me. Whosoever shall gather together against you shall fall for your sake. They shall be burned in the fire where I have created the smith that blows the coals. They shall become vessels of shame. I shall honor those on your side. Do not fear. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. 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 Distress, Destruction, a Fiery Trial, Terror, and Unbelief (Part 2)

By Linda Galati

I will cease my inquiries as to why the fire of the trial. I purpose not to allow my flesh to create a sorrowful creature of unbelief. I will break forth into singing and enlarge the place that I dwell in. I will lengthen my cords and strengthen my stakes, for I shall break forth on the right hand and on the left hand with souls for the Lord’s kingdom. The fruit of my sowing is coming up. I shall also reap where I did not sow. I shall not be ashamed neither shall I be confounded. I shall rise up in faith and shall not be put to shame. God is my Maker. He has become my husband. The Lord of hosts is his name. He has redeemed me. He is God. He is called the God of the whole earth.

I will not think of myself as some pitiful creature without a defense. I have felt like a woman forsaken. I have been grieved in my spirit. For a short space and a small moment have I felt this way, but now with great mercies has God gathered me unto himself to allow his blessings and provisions to abound toward me. With everlasting kindness, he has allowed mercy to come upon me. He is not wroth with me, for he has not chosen me unto wrath but unto eternal salvation. His everlasting kindness shall not depart from me. The covenant of his peace shall not be removed. God is making a beautiful vessel out of me. He is establishing me in righteousness. I will not fear, for he has sent oppression far from me. Terror has been sent away, and it shall not come near me any more. Though men gather together against me, they shall not stand with me. Whosoever shall gather together against me shall fall for my sake. They shall be burned in the fire where God has created the smith that blows the coals. They shall become vessels of shame. God shall honor those on my side. I will not fear. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. 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.
