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

A Taste of the Cross of Death from the Platter of Grace

(Part 3)

January 27, 2006

The enemy is confounded by the weapons of my warfare only. Your attempts to reason are futile against the forces of the enemy. I have given you faith, hope, and charity. They abide. Allow me to demonstrate the effectiveness of these mighty weapons on your behalf. The enemy shall show forth his acts of defeat, but remember only by the cross and my spirit is the enemy defeated. Look to me, the author who has finished redemption for you. If you look other places, you will only stand in your best performance, a man. The best of men will give their honor to a man who has conquered other men by means of death, but remember, I conquered by allowing death to sting me with its horrible sting. Death stung me and I conquered it by the hands of the resurrection. Submit to the power of the resurrection, which is the power of love, and you will not stand with other men who give their lives to be burned at the stakes of fame.

Give yourself totally to me and you shall be quickened by the spirit that raised Christ from the dead. Submit to me, then will the reproach of the cross be tasted by the grace of God and not with the taste buds of carnality. There are no spiritual taste buds in carnality. There is no beauty of holiness in the world’s love. There is no peace in the many dungeons of fear’s belly. Only by my cross and your cross will you find the path that I have walked. Come and follow me in the path of righteousness for my name’s sake. There are no vipers along this path. Come and walk with me. You will have peace in the face of the terror of the age. Come and follow me. My disciples deny themselves daily. They pick up their cross daily. They follow me daily. Are you my disciple?

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 Enemies, Human Reasoning, and Unbelief

(Part 3)

The enemy is confounded by the weapons of God’s warfare only. My attempts to reason are futile against the forces of the enemy. God has given me faith, hope, and charity. They abide. I allow him to demonstrate the effectiveness of these mighty weapons on my behalf. The enemy shall show forth his acts of defeat, but I remember, only by the cross and God’s spirit is the enemy defeated. I look to Jesus, the author who has finished redemption for me.

I give myself totally to God and I shall be quickened by the spirit that raised Christ from the dead. I submit to him. Now will the reproach of the cross be tasted by the grace of God and not with the taste buds of carnality. There are no spiritual taste buds in carnality. There is no beauty of holiness in the world’s love. There is no peace in the many dungeons of fear’s belly. Only by Jesus’ cross and my cross will I find the path that he has walked. I will go and follow the Lord in the path of righteousness for his name’s sake. There are no vipers along this path. I will walk with God and I will have peace in the face of the terror of the age. I will follow God Almighty. His disciples deny themselves daily. They pick up their cross daily. They follow him daily. I will follow him, for I am the Lord’s disciple.

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.
