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.

Ascend Up to the Holy Hill of God on the Wings of Praise and Thanksgiving
By
Moses Hightower
February 1, 2007
Do not allow the enemy of your soul to turn you from faith in me. Do not be cast down in your soul because of the delay you have received. I am on time with my answers. Continue to serve me with joyfulness and gladness of heart for the abundance of all things. You have prayed unto me. Do not stop here to serve the god of doubt. Doubt has approached you. It has drawn near your bosom and offered you a pillow to fill with tears. Do not stagger at my promises through doubt and unbelief, but be strong in faith while you give glory unto me. The things that you are feeling and experiencing are a natural byproduct of the war for the new territory that I am giving you. You have not fallen, neither have my promises fallen to the ground unfulfilled because of delay. The delay is only a pause for you to rest in me, for the steps of a good man are ordered by your Lord. I delight in your way. Though you fall, you shall not be cast down. I am upholding you with my right hand. I am merciful and gracious. I am slow to anger and plenteous in mercy and truth. During this pause or delay, allow your soul to pant after me. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so allow your soul to pant after me. Continue to thirst for me. Pour out your soul unto me with the voice of joy and the voice of praise. Allow the voice of praise to ascend unto me. Send your praises high above the temptation to allow your soul to be cast down. Keep your hope in me, and your soul will not be disquieted, for I shall command my loving-kindness in the daytime. In the night, my songs shall be with you. When you pray unto me, I will answer, for I am the God of your life.
I have not forgotten you; therefore, do not be turned unto mourning because of the oppression of doubt and unbelief. These are real spirits. They are warriors in high places. They have been sent to distract you from my promises. I have not opened my mouth and lied unto you. I cannot lie. Let every man be a liar, but I am true. I am true unto you and my word. Do not be distracted from the fruit of my promises. The noise of the things that come from the deep are attempting to affect the health of your countenance. Offer praise and thanksgiving in the face of this noise from the mouth of doubt. Continue to hope in God, the health of your countenance. I am the strength of your life, and I have sent forth the light and the truth. I will lift you when you are tempted to mourn. I will bring you unto my holy hill and to the tabernacles of praise. Here in the tabernacles of praise, you will find the altar of God and exceeding, great joy. You cannot fly away on the wings of mourning. Mourning will carry you to the deep pits of this life. Ascend up to my holy hill on the wings of praise and thanksgiving, and there will you find rest.
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)

I will not allow the enemy of my soul to turn me from faith in God. I will not be cast down in my soul because of the delay I have received. God is on time with his answers.

I will not stop here to serve the god of doubt although doubt has approached me. It has drawn near my bosom and offered me a pillow to fill with tears. I will not stagger at God’s promises through doubt and unbelief, but I will be strong in faith while I give glory unto 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.
