Children's Bread and Confession of Faith

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.

The Removal of the Net of Confusion and the Ordering of Your Steps (PART 2)

By Moses Hightower

You are being oppressed because you are attempting to walk with those who you do not agree with. Separate yourself from them, for they shall only oppress you more if you continue to walk with them. As with a sword in your bones, they reproach you while they say, “Where is his God?”

Your soul is cast down and is disquieted within. Hope in me and praise me, for I am the health of your countenance and your God. I have not hidden my face from you in this time of trouble. I have not held you for your enemy to devour you. You are driven to and fro by the winds of adversity, but I will not break a leaf driven by the wind. I will not pursue the dry stubble. I have not written bitter things against you, neither have I remembered your past sins. I have not placed your feet in the stocks and made your path a trap. I have stamped your feet for my own glory and removed the rotten things from your possession. I have removed the moth eaten garments from you and adorned you with a garment of praise. Rise up and worship with all that is in you. Your freedom and true deliverance has come.

You came to reason with me. Sit down and let us reason together. Am I a forger of lies?

Have I opened my mouth and promised you something and then retracted it?

A physician has no value if he is a forger of lies. Hear my reasoning.

Will a man speak wickedly for me?

Will a man talk deceitfully for me?

Will I accept any man's person?

Will a man contend for me?

I have searched out all. Others have mocked you. Will they mock me?

I will surely reprove you if you do secretly accept persons. Go from a man's presence that is not afraid of my excellency. My dread is falling upon men in this closing hour of my church in the earth. Mind how you deal with others, for your remembrances are like unto ashes and your bodies to bodies of clay. Do not deal with men in anger; neither place your life in your own hands. Trust in me with all your heart and do not lean to your own understanding. If I slay you, trust me. I am your salvation, and a hypocrite shall not come before me. Behold, I have ordered your cause and justified you. I know your days, and your inheritance shall be forever. For a short space, your enemies are prospering, but they shall be ashamed in the evil time. The wicked shall perish, and your enemies shall be as the fat of lambs. They shall be consumed. Into smoke they shall consume away.

I have delighted myself in your way, for I have ordered your steps and you have followed. Though you have fallen at times, you have never been utterly cast down, for I have upheld you with my hand. You are growing old, yet you will not be forsaken or beg for bread. I am merciful. I love judgment and will not forsake my saints. You are preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. You shall inherit the land, and none of your steps shall slide. Though the wicked watch you and seek to slay you, I will not leave you in his hand. I will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. First, must the wicked come to great power and spread himself like a green bay tree. Then shall he be brought down and cut off, but the salvation of the righteous is of me. I am their strength in the time of trouble. I will help them and deliver them. I will deliver them from the wicked and save them because they trust in me.

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 Accusers, Adversity, Bitterness, Confusion, Enemies, Hindrances, Manipulators, Offenses, Resentment, and Unfairness (PART 2)

By Milton Rodriguez

I am being oppressed because I am attempting to walk with those who I do not agree with. I separate myself from them, for they shall only oppress me more if I continue to walk with them. As with a sword in my bones, they reproach me while they say, “Where is his God?”

My soul is cast down and is disquieted within. I hope in Christ and praise him, for he is the health of my countenance and my God. He has not hidden his face from me in this time of trouble. He has not held me for my enemy to devour me. I am driven to and fro by the winds of adversity, but the Lord will not break a leaf driven by the wind. He will not pursue the dry stubble. He has not written bitter things against me, neither has he remembered my past sins. He has not placed my feet in the stocks and made my path a trap. He has stamped my feet for his own glory and removed the rotten things from my possession. He has removed the moth eaten garments from me and adorned me with a garment of praise. I rise up and worship with all that is in me. My freedom and true deliverance has come.

I came to reason with Jesus. I sit down and reason with the Lord. He is not a forger of lies. He has not opened his mouth and promised me something and then retracted it. A physician has no value if he is a forger of lies. I hear the Lord’s reasoning. A man should not speak wickedly for God. A man should not talk deceitfully for him. He will not accept any man's person. A man should not contend for him. God has searched out all. Others have mocked me, but they will not mock Christ. He will surely reprove me if I do secretly accept persons. I will go from a man's presence that is not afraid of God’s excellency. The Lord’s dread is falling upon men in this closing hour of his church in the earth. I will mind how I deal with others, for my remembrances are like unto ashes and my body to a body of clay. I will not deal with men in anger; neither will I place my life in my own hands. I will trust in God with all my heart and not lean to my own understanding. If the Lord slays me, I purpose to trust him. He is my salvation, and a hypocrite shall not come before him. God has ordered my cause and justified me. He knows my days, and my inheritance shall be forever. For a short space, my enemies are prospering, but they shall be ashamed in the evil time. The wicked shall perish, and my enemies shall be as the fat of lambs. They shall be consumed. Into smoke they shall consume away.

God has delighted himself in my way, for he has ordered my steps and I have followed. Though I have fallen at times, I have never been utterly cast down, for he has upheld me with his hand. I am growing old, yet I will not be forsaken or beg for bread. The Lord is merciful. He loves judgment and will not forsake his saints. I am preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. I shall inherit the land, and none of my steps shall slide. Though the wicked watch me and seek to slay me, the Lord will not leave me in his hand. He will exalt me to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, I shall see it. First, the wicked must come to great power and spread himself like a green bay tree. Then shall he be brought down and cut off, but the salvation of the righteous is of God. He is my strength in the time of trouble. He will help me and deliver me. He will deliver me from the wicked and save me because I have trusted in 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.
