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.

7:27-28

The Peaceable Fruit of Righteousness Has Come to Those Who Have Endured Chastisement
I am life. Of your life, I am Lord. You have given yourself to me willingly. I have chastened you. Your response to the chastisement has been favorable. The peaceable fruit of righteousness has come unto you. Righteousness shall exalt you. Though your own righteousness is as a filthy rag, my righteousness is the bright light that has dispelled the darkness of self-righteousness. The fruit of righteousness shall cleanse your spiritual system of all the impurities in your spirit. Taste of this fruit and allow the cleansing effect of this fruit to complete the work that it is doing in your life. Do not nullify the cleansing by partaking of things that will spoil you and harm your faith. Watch what you hear, and think on the things that are pleasing to me. You are not your own. You are mine. I paid an extravagant price for you. The blood that was paid for you cleansed you today. There is no one that can condemn you. Who is he that will condemn those whom I have justified?
Do not fear the voice of the accuser. Do not stand idly by while the accuser opens his mouth against you. Open your mouth in praise and thanksgiving, and I will be the force against your accuser. Do not be silent in this time of vicious attacks, but open your mouth wide and praise the Living God. If you are to grow in me, then the light of praise must shine brighter. You have me, the Light, but is the light of praise in you shining with an intensity that shows that you love me?
The light of my love is motivating you to reflect my love instead of depending on your feelings to project poor manifestations of fabricated love with no power or realness. My love is doing an awesome work in you. I have given you more grace in this time of failure. Now love works the faith that I have freely given you. Rise up and overcome all things 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)

Words of Light upon the Face of Attacks, Failure, Fear, and Self-Righteousness
By Tristan Rodriguez
Jesus is life, and he is the Lord of my life. I have given myself to him willingly. God has chastened me. My response to the chastisement has been favorable, and the peaceable fruit of righteousness has come unto me. Righteousness shall exalt me. Though my own righteousness is as a filthy rag, God’s righteousness is the bright light that has dispelled the darkness of self-righteousness. The fruit of righteousness shall cleanse my spiritual system of all the impurities in my spirit. I taste of this fruit and allow the cleansing effect of this fruit to complete the work that it is doing in my life. I purpose not to nullify the cleansing by partaking of things that will spoil me and harm my faith. I will watch what I hear, and I will think on the things that are pleasing to God. I am not my own; I am the Lord’s. He paid an extravagant price for me. The blood that was paid for me cleansed me today. There is no one who can condemn me. No one will condemn those whom God has justified. I will not fear the voice of the accuser. I will not stand idly by while the accuser opens his mouth against me. I will open my mouth in praise and thanksgiving, and Jesus will be the force against my accuser. I will not be silent in this time of vicious attacks, but I open my mouth wide and praise the Living God. If I am to grow in Christ, the light of praise must shine brighter. I have Jesus, the Light, but the light of praise in me is not shining with the intensity that shows that I love him. The light of his love is motivating me to reflect his love instead of depending on my feelings to project poor manifestations of fabricated love with no power or realness. God’s love is doing an awesome work in me. He has given me more grace in this time of failure. Now love works the faith that he has freely given me. I rise up and overcome all things 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
