Even Little Pups Eat The Crumbs

I. EXORDIUM:

The WORD of GOD is JESUS Himself Personified, and whatever He says, agree, transform and change and be renewed according to the WORD of the LORD. If you choose not to do this, you have already made a choice to be conformed and transformed to this world's principle which is against the LORD.

Romans 12:2 (Amplified Bible)

Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

John 1:1 (Amplified Bible)

IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.

1 John 5:19 (Amplified Bible)

We know [positively] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] is under the power of the evil one.

2 Corinthians 4:4 (Amplified Bible)

For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers’ minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God.

When I was an unbeliever before, I believed that the GOD of this world is JESUS but I was sincerely mistaken. The god of this world is not the LORD JESUS but the enemy so all the whole world and it's inhabitants is under the power and sway of the enemy not GOD. That's why daily, every morning, or before all work starts in your life, you need to be conformed by the renewing of your mind through the WORD of GOD.

A. Acceptance, humility and renewal of mind according to the WORD

"She said, Yes, Lord,"

The Canaanite woman is a Gentile and the children referred to here are the Jews. The priority of GOD's blessings/food/providence are the Jews, not the Gentiles. If you born not a Jew, then you are a Gentile. There are only kinds of people on earth: Jew or Gentile. We need to accept that our GOD the GOD that we worship is a Jewish GOD.

Romans 9:4 (Amplified Bible)

For they are Israelites, and to them belong God’s adoption [as a nation] and the glorious Presence (Shekinah). With them were the special covenants made, to them was the Law given. To them [the temple] worship was revealed and [God’s own] promises announced.

The Jews therefore are the natural branches that were broken off, while the Gentiles are the grafted branches.

Romans 11:17-21 (Amplified Bible)

But if some of the branches were broken off, while you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them to share the richness [of the root and sap] of the olive tree,

Do not boast over the branches and pride yourself at their expense. If you do boast and feel superior, remember it is not you that support the root, but the root [that supports] you.

You will say then, Branches were broken (pruned) off so that I might be grafted in!

That is true. But they were broken (pruned) off because of their unbelief (their lack of real faith), and you are established through faith [because you do believe]. So do not become proud and conceited, but rather stand in awe and be reverently afraid.

For if God did not spare the natural branches [because of unbelief], neither will He spare you [if you are guilty of the same offense].

Hence, in the world today, they are persecuting the Jew, there's a lot of jokes that are against a Jew. Why? Because: of the LORD JESUS who is inside a born again Jew. The salvation is by faith not by works or not by nationality but by Grace through faith.
