CHILDREN'S BREAD

God's Companionship and Deliverance while Going through the Fire and the Flood (PART 2)

By Moses Hightower

Remember that I am your rock and the high God, your redeemer. Speak a word in due season, for the word of life is in your mouth. I am full of compassion. I have forgiven your iniquities. I did not destroy you when you sinned, but I turned my anger away from you and did not stir up my wrath. I know that you are but flesh; therefore, I have granted you compassion, for I know that you are a wind that passes away and does not come again. There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the ends thereof are the ways of death. You ended up in a wilderness and a solitary place. You came to the deserts of spiritual debris. I have made all these places to blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing. I have given these places the glory of the Lord and my excellency. Now shall people see the glory of the Lord and the excellency of your God.

I have placed a highway in your midst, a way that is called the way of holiness. The unclean shall not pass over this way, but this way is for the wayfaring men seeking refuge from lions and ravenous beasts. The wayfarings of the hour have become the redeemed, and they are walking on the highway of holiness. The ransomed of the Lord are returning and coming to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads. They are obtaining joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing are fleeing away.

I have created you in righteousness. I formed you from the womb. I have begotten you again by a lively hope and called you by name. You are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you pass through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned and the flames will not kindle you.

I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Do not fear, for I am with you. I have created you for my glory. You are called by my name. You are my witnesses. You know and you believe me. You understand that I am he, and before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no savior. I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, their King and your King. I have made a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters, which brings forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the power, the rockets and the bombs. I shall cause all of the artillery of the enemy to fall down and not rise up against you. I shall make the enemy's power against you ineffective and quench his fire of wrath with the water of my word.

Remember: I am the God of old. I will do for you what I did in former times. I do a new thing for you. It is springing forth. You shall know it. It is making a way in this wilderness. It is making rivers in your desert of helplessness. There is no temptation that has taken you but such as is common to you. I am faithful and will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able, but with the temptation also make a way for you to escape that you may be able to bear it; therefore, rejoice. A way is made for you.

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 Covetousness, Discouragement, Enemies, Impossibility, Lust, Pride, Misunderstanding, and Sorrow (PART 2)

By Linda Galati

I must remember that Jesus is my rock and the high God, my redeemer. I speak a word in due season, for the word of life is in my mouth. God is full of compassion. He has forgiven my iniquities. He did not destroy me when I sinned, but he turned his anger away from me and did not stir up his wrath. He knows that I am but flesh; therefore, he has granted me compassion, for he knows that I am a wind that passes away and does not come again. There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the ends thereof are the ways of death. I ended up in a wilderness and a solitary place. I came to the deserts of spiritual debris. God has made all these places to blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing. He has given these places the glory of the Lord and his excellency. Now shall people see the glory of the Lord and the excellency of my God. He has placed a highway in my midst, a way that is called the way of holiness. The unclean shall not pass over this way, but this way is for the wayfaring men seeking refuge from lions and ravenous beasts. The wayfarings of the hour have become the redeemed, and they are walking on the highway of holiness.

The Lord has created me in righteousness. He formed me from the womb. He has begotten me again by a lively hope and called me by name. I am his. When I pass through the waters, he will be with me. When I pass through the rivers, they shall not overflow me. When I walk through the fire, I will not be burned and the flames will not kindle me.

Jesus is the Lord my God, the Holy One of Israel, my Savior. I will not fear, for he is with me. He has created me for his glory. I am called by his name. I am his witness. I know and I believe him. I understand that before him there was no God formed, neither shall there be after him. He, even he, is the Lord; beside him there is no savior.

The Lord is the God of old. He will do for me what he did in former times. He is doing a new thing for me. It is springing forth now. I shall know it. It is making a way in this wilderness. It is making rivers in my desert of helplessness. There is no temptation that has taken me but such as is common to me. God is faithful and will not suffer me to be tempted above that I am able, but with the temptation also he will make a way for me to escape that I may be able to bear it. I rejoice. A way is made for me.

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.
