What's In A Crumb?

You see, Jesus gave her an answer according to the rules. He said, "According to the rules, you're a dog". She said, "Yes, Lord. That's what the rules say". She said, "But even the dogs, the little dogs, they get the crumbs that fall from the children's table". If you're going to serve the loaf up here, just let me be a dog down here. Because if it's in the bread, it's in the crumb. If it's in the bread, it's in the crumb. And God, I didn't come here that I could get the whole loaf. I didn't even come here that I could get a slice. I didn't come here telling you what I need. I just came here telling you if I can get just a crumb, if I can just get a little bit of you, then I'll have everything that I need. Because when you cook a cake, church, listen to me, if there's flour in the cake, there's flour in the crumb. If there's sugar in the cake, there's sugar in the crumb. If there's butter in the cake, there's butter in the crumb.

And sometimes we think we know what we need. And all we really need is just a crumb, because he said, "If you would have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to that mountain, 'be thou removed' and it would be cast into the midst of the sea". She said, "Yes, Lord". I'm not here to argue with you. I just need a crumb from you. Because I believe that if there's healing in the bread, there's healing in the crumb. You're the bread of life. And if there's provision in the bread, there's provision in the crumb. You're the all-sufficient one.

So, if there's joy in the bread, there's joy in the crumb. If there's peace in the bread, there's peace in the crumb. If there's prosperity in the bread, there's prosperity in the crumb. If there's abundance in the bread, there's abundance in the crumb. If there's victory in the bread, there's victory in the crumb. If there's deliverance in the bread, there's deliverance in these crumbs. Lord, I may be a dog. But today, let me be your dog and give me a crumb: that when I leave here, I've got everything I need, in Jesus' name, in Jesus' name! And the text ends, Jesus looks at her. And in one statement, he rewrites the rules. He said, "According to your faith, your daughter is free". She didn't come to argue. She came to receive. She wasn't even there to dictate what she would receive. She didn't say, "I'm entitled to half a loaf". She said, "If all you want to do is roll a crumb off the end of the table, I'll take it gladly".

And because she didn't come to argue but to receive, because she heard about him in faith, all of a sudden, Christ came to do something in her life that no one else could do. He destroyed the works of the devil. He walked into her world. And all of the unseen things in the wiring of her past, and all of the things that were disconnected, in faith, believing, she walked over and hit the switch. And everything that needed to turn on, came on. Because the Bible says that when she came home, she found the demon gone and her daughter sleeping. How did she know that the demon was gone? Because her daughter was sleeping. The Bible says that God gives no rest to the wicked. And when she saw her baby girl curled up in that bed, she said, thank you. Thank you.
