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

Rejoice with Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory in the Great Furnace of Affliction and Fire Where the Abundance of Joy Abounds unto the Riches of Liberality (PART 1)
By
Moses Hightower
Do not look for the limelight of religious politics. The legal representatives of religious zealots will slay you for a spot before one another in their moments of fleshly glory. If you must slay someone's name to assure that you remain exalted, then I did not exalt you. He who exalts himself shall be abased. He who abases himself shall be exalted. Humble yourself under my mighty hand. Submit yourself to me, then resist the devil, and he will flee from you. The accuser of the brethren is a ruthless prosecutor. I have taken the stand on your behalf. I am the Faithful Witness. I am in you to give my own testimony for you. I am present to give the testimony of Jesus Christ on behalf of those redeemed by precious blood and forgiven of their sins. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. If you cast aside the spirit of prophecy, how will you hear my testimony?
I know that you are guilty and so is every man. Who is he that is without sin?
Throw down your stones, for all have sinned and come short of my glory. Whosoever judges another condemns himself and is inexcusable, for he that judges does the same things. My judgment is according to truth against all that commit such things. Do you think that if you judge them which do such things and you do the same that you will escape the judgment of God?
Desire mercy for others and do not allow hardness of heart to become a rocky treasure for you. You will only take unto yourself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of my righteous judgment when I render to every man according to his deeds. Do not obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath. I am against all that do evil, and there is no respect of persons with me. I am the Righteous Defender, but I will not take the cases of those that do evil and destroy others. Render good for evil. Allow your great trial of affliction to be unto my glory. In your trials, the abundance of joy should abound unto the riches of liberality. In your trials, take upon yourself the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. They are in need. They are hurting. They are in heaviness. Teach them to greatly rejoice so that the trial of their faith, which is much more precious than of gold that perishes though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise, honor, and glory at my appearing. I desire to see my people rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, receiving the end of their faith, even the salvation of their souls.
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)

Words of Light upon the Face of the Accuser of the Brethren, Afflictions, Complaining Spirits, Fiery Trials, Heaviness, Hurts, Persecution, and Unbelief (PART 1)
By Aaron Stickel
I will not look for the limelight of religious politics. The legal representatives of religious zealots will slay me for a spot before one another in their moments of fleshly glory. If I must slay someone's name to assure that I remain exalted, then God did not exalt me. He who exalts himself shall be abased. He who abases himself shall be exalted. I humble myself under God’s mighty hand. I submit myself to the Lord and resist the devil, and he will flee from me. The accuser of the brethren is a ruthless prosecutor. God has taken the stand on my behalf. He is the Faithful Witness. Jesus is in me to give his own testimony for me. He is present to give the testimony of Jesus Christ on behalf of those redeemed by precious blood and forgiven of their sins. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. If I cast aside the spirit of prophecy, I cannot hear the Lord’s testimony.
God knows that I am guilty and so is every man. No one is without sin. I throw down my stones, for all have sinned and come short of the Lord’s glory. Whosoever judges another condemns himself and is inexcusable, for he that judges does the same things. God’s judgment is according to truth against all that commit such things. I will not escape the judgment of God if I judge others and I do the same things. I desire mercy for others, and by grace I will not allow hardness of heart to become a rocky treasure for me. I will only take unto myself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of God’s righteous judgment when he renders to every man according to his deeds. I will not obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath. Jesus is against all that do evil. He is not a respecter of persons. He is the Righteous Defender, but he will not take the cases of those that do evil and destroy others. I will render good for evil. I allow my great trial of affliction to be unto his glory. In my trials, the abundance of joy should abound unto the riches of liberality. In my trials, I will take upon myself the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. They are in need.

He desires to see his people rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, receiving the end of their faith, even the salvation of their souls.
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
