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.

Mark 7:27-28

Give us this day our daily bread.

Matthew 6:11

Visions of Hope When Tempted by Seducing Spirits of Distraction

(Part 2)

January 2, 2006

Do not fret because of the size of the congregation. Love and nurture those that I bring. None can come unless I draw them unto myself. I am in you; therefore, those who I am drawing shall come and some shall remain. I bring many to hear the gospel, but many will not be chosen. The call has gone out for the world to hear the good news, yet all will not obey the gospel; therefore, know that you shall see many pass through your midst and exit into hell.

Do not be disturbed by those who reject the truth. Remember that I have told you that you are not greater than your master. They rejected me. They rejected the prophets. They will reject you. Do not allow the spear of rejection to wound your trust in me. I am faithful, even when the spear of rejection has been thrown into your heart. All these things must be, for you are a part of my body and I have opened up a door for all to come. Look again to me. What do you see in the spirit?

Behold the sick man lying in a hospital bed. Behold the nurses coming around his bed. The man needs care, for he is injured. Behold the bandage around his head. Notice that the man is not conscious. Many of the people are yet in hospital beds. They have come to have their wounds cared for. Many have come that attention might be given to them in their weak state. Many will never go from Spiritual Intensive Care, for they were ushered into my presence by emergency vehicles and not by knees of love. When my people which are called by my name, shall fall to their knees of love and humble themselves and pray, then will there be little need for the many spiritual ambulances parked outside of spiritual hospitals. My church shall be a lighthouse filled with healed workers who ministers and not spiritual invalids in the lobby of a sick church.

(A NEW SCENE)

Behold the children playing in the spirit. Why are they so gleeful?

Why are they so energetic?

Why are they full of laughter and excitement?

Look over the hill and behold the men sitting in the dust of a dry ditch. What does this mean?

(I answered, “Lord, you know. Please tell me.”)

The children on the other side of the hill represent how many started out when they received my spirit and were born again. The men on the other side of the hill represent the end for those who do not continue to come as children. You desire to stop writing. That is your flesh. Do not yield to the temptation in your flesh, for that is the spirit of distraction attempting to prevent you from hearing the rest of my instructions. Close your eyes and behold what appears in the distance.

Amos 3: 7 - 8

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?

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 Seducing Spirits of Distraction and Idols

(Part 2)

I will not fret because of the size of the congregation. I will love and nurture those that the Lord brings. None can come unless he draws them unto himself. God is in me; therefore, those who he is drawing shall come and some shall remain. The Lord brings many to hear the gospel, but many will not be chosen. The call has gone out for the world to hear the good news, yet all will not obey the gospel; therefore, I know that I shall see many pass through our midst and exit into hell. I will not be disturbed by those who reject the truth. I remember that the Lord has told me that I am not greater than my master. They rejected him. They rejected the prophets. They will reject me. I will not allow the spear of rejection to wound my trust in Jesus. God is faithful, even when the spear of rejection has been thrown into my heart. All these things must be, for I am a part of the Lord’s body and he has opened up a door for all to come.

I look again to Jesus. I see someone in a hospital bed. I behold the sick man lying in a hospital bed. I behold the nurses coming around his bed. The man needs care, for he is injured. I behold the bandage around his head. I notice that the man is not conscious. Many of the people are yet in hospital beds. They have come to have their wounds cared for. Many have come that attention might be given to them in their weak state. Many will never go from Spiritual Intensive Care, for they were ushered into God’s presence by emergency vehicles and not by knees of love. When the Lord’s people, which are called by his name, shall fall to their knees of love and humble themselves and pray, then will there be little need for the many spiritual ambulances parked outside of spiritual hospitals. God’s church shall be a lighthouse filled with healed workers who minister and not spiritual invalids in the lobby of a sick church.

I behold the children playing in the spirit. It is their nature to be gleeful. They are naturally energetic, full of laughter, and excitement. I looked over the hill and beheld men sitting in the dust of a dry ditch. I did not know what this meant; therefore, I asked the Lord to tell me. He told me that the children on the other side of the hill represented how many started out when they received God’s spirit and were born again. The men on the other side of the hill represented the end for those who do not continue to come as children. I desired to stop writing; however, I recognized that it was my flesh that wanted to stop. I will not yield to the temptation in my flesh, for that is the spirit of distraction attempting to prevent me from hearing the rest of the Lord’s instructions. I closed my eyes and beheld what appeared in the distance.

Hebrews 10:22 - 23

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;)

Ephesians 2:8-9

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.
