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.

Rejoice with Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory in the Great Furnace of Affliction and Fire Where the Abundance of Joy Abounds unto the Riches of Liberality (PART 2)
By
Moses Hightower
Listen to the complaining spirits among the people. They think that their trials are strange. They are inexperienced as they are being engaged in the fiery trials of the last days. Teach them to rejoice and not to think of their fiery trials as strange. They have come to try them and prepare them to be glad with exceeding joy when I come. The fiery trials are to purge and to make them white. Their trials prepare them for good works. Every man's work shall be made manifest. The fire of God shall try every man's work of what sort it is. I know the way that they take. I am trying my people, and many shall come forth as gold. Look unto my word and do not go back from the commandment of my lips. Esteem the words of my mouth more than your necessary food. My word will assure that you will be refined. Do not despise the furnace of affliction and persecution. The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold. I am trying the hearts of my people in the fire. I will refine them and bring them through the fire. I am the refiner and the purifier. Glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation works patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope; and hope does not make ashamed because the love of God is shed abroad in your hearts by the Holy Ghost. Love will cause you to believe all things. Believe that I am the author and the finisher. I have begun a good work in you. I will perform it. I commended my love toward you while you were a sinner. My love will assure that you will be saved from wrath because you are justified by my blood. Take the witness stand and offer a good confession. Do not fear. I reconciled you to myself by the death of the Son. Now that you are reconciled, much more I will save you in your trials by the life of the Son. Count all these things joy, knowing that the trying of your faith works patience. Let patience have her perfect work so that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. Rejoice. The fire and furnace of your tribulation shall not destroy you. You shall come forth like gold.
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 the Accuser of the Brethren, Afflictions, Complaining Spirits, Fiery Trials, Heaviness, Hurts, Persecution, and Unbelief (PART 2)
By Aaron Stickel
I have listened to the complaining spirits among the people. They think that their trials are strange. They are inexperienced as they are being engaged in the fiery trials of the last days. I will go teach them to rejoice and not to think of their fiery trials as strange. They have come to try them and prepare them to be glad with exceeding joy when Jesus comes. The fiery trials are to purge and to make them white. Their trials prepare them for good works. Every man's work shall be made manifest. The fire of God shall try every man's work of what sort it is. The Lord knows the way that they take. He is trying his people, and many shall come forth as gold. I look unto his word, and by grace I will not go back from the commandment of his lips. I esteem the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. His word will assure that I will be refined. I do not despise the furnace of affliction and persecution. The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold. Jesus is trying the hearts of his people in the fire. He will refine them and bring them through the fire. He is the refiner and the purifier. I will glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation works patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope; and hope does not make ashamed because the love of God is shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost. Love will cause me to believe all things. I believe that Jesus is the author and the finisher. He has begun a good work in me, and he will perform it. He commended his love toward me while I was a sinner; therefore, his love will assure that I will be saved from wrath because I am justified by his blood. I take the witness stand and offer a good confession. I will not fear. God reconciled me to himself by the death of the Son of God. Now that I am reconciled, much more will he save me in my trials by the life of the Son of God. I count all these things joy, knowing that the trying of my faith works patience. I will let patience have her perfect work so that I may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. I rejoice, for the fire and furnace of my tribulation shall not destroy me. I shall come forth like gold.
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
2:8-9
