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.

The Paradise of Grace At the End of the Swamp of Hatred

March 15, 2006

Hate is blind. Its blindness does not allow it to see what it is destroying. The destructive power of hate is a thief of all that is good. Because the good does not belong to the vessels of hate, the good is not deemed important enough to save; however, good cannot be separated. When the good in any part is damaged, it affects the whole. The Lord of good will defend its children from the spirit of hate and its vessels. Vengeance is the Lord’s, and he will repay. In the midst of the rage of hate, compassion is completely lost. Those who yield to the expressions of hate are rendered totally unprofitable for anything good. Those who were once worthy of the fondness of hate’s vessels are discounted and counted worthless in the sight of hate’s rifle of death. Good names are destroyed by being weighed in the false balances of men who, in their own minds, bar the bearer of good names from the blood of Jesus, not knowing they have shut off their own vessels of hate from the same blood that they need for mercy and forgiveness. The children of the vessels of hatred will turn and hate the vessels of hatred for the misery and the robbery that their eyes shall behold. I will give their children hearing ears and seeing eyes. These children shall pity these vessels of hate and shall be ashamed that they came from such evil vessels.

The swamps of this life shall become the paradise of grace as the hand of the Lord divinely intervenes and hides those who are his from the wrath and the venom of hate. Innocent lives will be lost in this battle between hate and good. The angels of grace will stop the wrath of hatred. Angels camp round about those who are heirs of this glorious salvation. Give thanks for the providence of God Almighty, for the Lord has provided a safe haven for all those who trust in Jesus. Look up unto redemption. The same redemption that saved you is working on your behalf as you travel through the swamps of hate. This journey is only for a season. Rejoice during this time of persecution and suffering by the hand of hatred, which has made you sad. You will reap a harvest of joy soon. Behold the season of joy. It comes in the morning of your faith. Faith arrives in the bosom of love. The bosom of love has come to you with its gentle embrace. Be caressed by love and rest on its pillow of peace. The power of God is yours. This power is the resurrection power. By this power, you shall surely fly away with me as I depart into eternity with my body.

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)

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.
