THE CRUMBS FROM THE PLATE OF JESUS HEALED A DAUGHTER

“But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. (Matthew 15: 26-28 King James Version [KJV]).
Greetings In The Holy Name Of Jesus Yahshuah,
My sisters and brothers, we pray the crumbs from your table are fitting, able to deliver, in time of need, for the crumbs from the plate of Jesus healed a daughter [Matthew 15: 26-28, KJV]. The power of God delivered healing to a mother for her daughter, seeking the saving grace she knew Jesus held, in the words he spoke. Just say the word, the centurion said
[Matthew 8: 8, KJV, “The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.”]. Howbeit, we think the crumbs we deliver have the same healing power of Christ Jesus, when truly, truth be told, the crumbs you delivered are not even fit to feed the dogs much less stand as a source of the healing power of God. You cannot mock God with your trickery and well/ thought out schemes to gain power and authority when you have an empty wagon, not making a lot of noise like the folks use to say so you could hear them coming but a smooth rider that fools even the elect of God [Matthew 24: 24, KJV, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”].
My soul cried out to God to take the bitter of those crumbs out of my belly for I felt nauseated and he grounded the feeling and did not let it pass out of my mouth but through the bowels until it was completely out of my body! My God, healed-me so many times this way. Then, again, there were times, I felt the anguish and pain of passing it out of my body both ways, through the mouth and the bowels. Folks you cannot eat Thanksgiving meals after folks ate on it for six days and finally thought about you to pass you the crumbs of their plates. The devil is a liar [John 8: 44 King James Version (KJV), “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”].
Most importantly, folks you must prophecy the goodness of the Lord because not all folks can feed the sheep, in the way of Jesus, both feeding the spirit and feeding the flesh because they know many times what you taste as sweet in your mouth may not sweetly rest in your belly but it will cause a terrible bitterness. Folks use to speak about the bile that crops up in the body [ http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/liver/bile.html “Bile contains bile acids, which are critical for digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the small intestine. Many waste products, including bilirubin, are eliminated from the body by secretion into bile and elimination in feces.”]. I do not mean to speak to you this way but that is just how living for me was because I was raised by elderly parents both father and mother in the same household in a Christian household, the words they spoke were of their time. Therefore, I speak from how the generations before me spoke.
Moreover, God bless my beloved souls, possibly they knew I would speak to you and therefore, decidedly planted the seeds every time they could in their talks with me. I pray you are not offended by old-English mannerisms in speech. God bless. There are people you do not think you know yet you have been around them your entire life.
More importantly, what makes you hesitate to say you know them? Do you remember the Words of God ‘s prophecy of Jesus to come to Earth, to bear witness, here, on Earth, in the same context with evil? Do you remember the Gospel readings of Jesus preaching and teaching the Word of God, condemning mankind, in words of evil? [John 3: 17 King James Version (KJV), “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”; John 12: 47 King James Version (KJV), “And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.”; John 8: 11 King James Version (KJV), “She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”]. Why, pray tell, then, do you find yourself many times almost at death’s door or with death knocking at your door because of what you said to someone or what someone said to you because there are folks out there with so much hate in them they will condemn you for every word you speak whether you dotted your “i’s” and crossed your”t’s”, or not. They stand in judgment of you; of the children of God; of the family of God.
This reflection is an apocalyptic moment when you truly think you have moments to live. We must not eat of the words that kill the flesh and torment the soul. Accordingly Apostle John spoke, in Revelation 10: 1-11, King James Version (KJV):
“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”
We find Apostle John, who was exiled to the Greek island of Patmos because of his faith casting a shadow on the words of Ezekiel, who was carried into exile in Babylon, in his dual role as prophet-priest, in his position as watchman over his people who after the fall of Jerusalem spoke to a helpless people of hope, restoration to their homeland, and worship again in the temple. Let us hear the Words of God speak to Prophet-Priest Ezekiel (2:10-3:1-27, KJV,
“And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.[2:10]. Ezekiel 3: 1-27, King James Version (KJV), “Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel. So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee. But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads. As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord God; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear. Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place. I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.
So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me. Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days. And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. And the hand of the Lord was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face. Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house. But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them: And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.”
In closing, I prophecy to you of the goodness of the LORD GOD YAHWEH: there is a time and the time is now that the Sons and Daughters, of God Yahweh, prophecy morning, noon, and night, of the goodness of the Lord, prevailing here on Earth, here and now, here-to-come, showering his children with blessings, for the goodness of the Lord, will speak to the people. And, the promises of the Lord, will not deny the love of God, in a stronghold, on Earth. My people of Christ Jesus, no longer, out of the mouth is good and evil shall prevail but the goodness of the Lord will rule, for Christ sakes as we reflect on God Yahweh talking to Ezekiel in The rule of prophecy [3:1-27] we hear the Gospel of Matthew the publican, tax collector, and disciple speak out to the people: [12:34 King James Version (KJV)], “O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.”].
Lord, I thank you!
Christ be with you. God be with you. Walk with God. Amen.
