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 Refocusing of Faith and a Revival of Justification by Faith
By
Moses Hightower
February 2, 2007
Do not be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ Jesus. A spirit is at war against you to entice you to complicate your faith. Do not complicate the faith of Jesus that is within you. I have given to every man the measure of faith. A very subtle and crafty spirit is attempting to beguile you as Eve was beguiled. This spirit has enticed many to preach another Jesus and another gospel. Do not be beguiled by this spirit of error. You are of God, and you hear my words. Those who are not of God will hear the voice of this crafty spirit, for it is the voice of their father, the devil. Do not be enticed by the voice of this murderer. He does not dwell in the truth because there is no truth in him. He is a liar and the father of it. Continue in faith, charity, and holiness, and you will not be snared by his subtlety. He will deceive the whole world. He is the accuser of the brethren. He accuses them before me day and night. Rise up with a good confession of faith, and overcome him by the blood of Jesus and the word of your testimony. This spirit takes advantage of those who lose the focus of their faith. Do not lose the focus of faith.
Who are you focusing on?
What are you focusing on?
You will be consumed by whatever you are focusing on. Allow me to be the zeal of your house, and then will you be consumed by me. When you have allowed me to become the zeal of your house, you will know what manner of spirit you are of. I did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them. Do you desire the same things for those who disobey as I desire for them?
I desire mercy and loving-kindness for them. Turn your focus back to me. Many are focusing on themselves and their ministries; therefore, they are not seeing clearly. When people lose their focus, they begin to exalt themselves and lose their sense of justification. Return unto a childlike attitude of faith, for of such is the kingdom of God. Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. I am refocusing your faith. When your faith is refocused, you will begin to preach Jesus again. Unless I am preached, the generation of men is declared instead of my generation. Go and declare my generation and not your own. I am in you to declare it. My zeal will perform it. Rise up and go forth in the power of the Spirit. I have clad you with zeal as a cloak. Now go forth and preach Jesus. I came and dyed my garments in my own blood. I traveled in the greatness of strength, speaking in righteousness and mighty to save. Preach how my garments became red as I trod the winepress alone. There was none with me when I tread them in my anger and trampled them in my fury. Their blood sprinkled upon my garments and stained my raiment. Preach how my own arm brought salvation unto me and the blood of my arm saved them. The church must become focused again on me. When they are refocused on me again, then will they see what I have done for them and experience a revival of justification by faith. Behold a revival of justification by faith.
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 be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ Jesus. A spirit is at war against me to entice me to complicate my faith. I will not complicate the faith of Jesus that is within me. He has given to every man the measure of faith. A very subtle and crafty spirit is attempting to beguile me as Eve was beguiled. This spirit has enticed many to preach another Jesus and another gospel. I will not be beguiled by this spirit of error. I am of God, and I hear his words. Those who are not of God will hear the voice of this crafty spirit, for it is the voice of their father, the devil. I will not be enticed by the voice of this murderer. He does not dwell in the truth because there is no truth in him. He is a liar and the father of it. I will continue in faith, charity, and holiness, and I will not be snared by his subtlety. He will deceive the whole world. He is the accuser of the brethren. He accuses them before God day and night. I rise up with a good confession of faith and overcome him by the blood of Jesus and the word of my testimony. This spirit takes advantage of those who lose the focus of their faith. I determine not to lose the focus of my faith. I will be consumed by whatever I am focusing on; therefore, I will remained focused on Jesus. I will allow him to be the zeal of my house. Now will I be consumed by the Lord. When I have allowed him to become the zeal of my house, I will know what manner of spirit I am of. Jesus did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them. I desire mercy for those who disobey. He desires mercy and loving-kindness for them. I will turn my focus back to Jesus.
Many are focusing on themselves and their ministries; therefore, they are not seeing clearly. When people lose their focus, they begin to exalt themselves and lose their sense of justification. I will return unto a childlike attitude of faith, for of such is the kingdom of God. Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. God is refocusing my faith. When my faith is refocused, I will begin to preach Jesus again. Unless he is preached, the generation of men is declared instead of God’s generation. I will go and declare his generation and not my own. He is in me to declare it. His zeal will perform it. I rise up and go forth in the power of the Spirit. The Lord has clad me with zeal as a cloak. Now I will go forth and preach Jesus. He came and dyed his garments in his own blood. He traveled in the greatness of strength speaking in righteousness and mighty to save. I will preach how his garments became red as he trod the winepress alone. There was none with him when he tread them in his anger and trampled them in his fury. Their blood sprinkled upon his garments and stained his raiment. I will preach how his own arm brought salvation unto him and the blood of his arm saved them. The church must become focused again on Christ. When they are refocused on him again, then will they see what he has done for them and experience a revival of justification by faith. I behold a revival of justification by faith.
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.
Ephesians
2:8-9
