Lord Give Me The Crumbs

Whatever you got, Lord. I don't need all your time. I don't need all your resources. I just need a crumb. I just need a I just need a touch. I just need a bit of your presence. If I can just get a little bit of you, I'm going to be whole. If I could just get a little bit of you, my family's going to be saved. If I could just be get a little bit of you, my daughter, that unclean spirit is going to leave. If I can just get a crumb. Lord, give me the crumbs. Lord, give me the crumbs.

My leaders, ladies and gentlemen, you are now tuned into Ja's Mike, home of the world's toughest leaders. It's a pleasure to have you. If you're tuned in to this video today, one thing that you are declaring is that you are a leader. Okay, my leaders, this platform is to motivate and inspire faith and confidence in each individual so that you all can go towards the calling that God has gifted you. Okay. And today I would love to express something very potent to the individual who may not even feel like like you have a true intimate relationship with the Lord. You've heard about him.

You've heard stories about what he done for other individuals and you're seeking him right now because you feel like, "Hey, man, maybe maybe if I seek him and I can get in his presence some way, somehow somehow I'm going to see a breakthrough. I'm going to see a transformation in my own life." Or rather, not even in your own life, for the life of somebody else. This is what this video is about. You're trying to have the type of faith that moves heaven. So, I'm going to read a story in the book of Mark chapter 7. This is where we've been at for a little while.

And this one gives me so much hope because you get to see the heart posture of God. There's a posture that Jesus Christ operates in and it's amazing. It's beautiful. Okay. And there's this woman that you're going to get to know and something that she does that's so profound but yet so universal. But it's the beginning of what you and I see as confession and believing in the Lord God. Confessing him with your mouth, believing in your heart. You're going to see this before Jesus Christ ever goes to the cross. You're going to see an example of this take place. And it's the first time I saw this.

Heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Lord, Father, I thank you for this time. I thank you for this hour. I thank you for this word, Lord. Your word is powerful. Your word is motivational, but your word is impactful. And I just pray that today's word ignites something in my leader. That their faith is stirred up today. Heavenly Father, Lord, there's something about our faith in you, Jesus, that moves mountains truly. And I just declare by faith that after this video, this individual is going to be more encouraged, encouraged, more filled with the spirit and more ready to surrender, surrender everything just to get in your presence.

So, Father, we thank you for this word. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Use me. Amen. My leaders, the purpose of this message today is is to ignite you to desire the presence of God. However you can get it, however, however much, however small. The title of this message is Lord, give me the crumbs. I want you to open up to Mark and we're going to read a few verses about seven verses and I want to show you something that I never saw but also something that's going to help serve you cuz it served me mightily. Okay?

And so I'm just going to begin reading out of the King James version. And I just want to highlight some things after I read it. Okay. And from then he arose and went into the borders of Tyrie and Saddang Saddang and entered into an house and would have no man know it. But he could not be hid. For a certain woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

But Jesus said unto her, "Let the children first be filled, for it is not meat to take the children's bread, and to cast it into the dogs." And she answered and said unto him, "Yes, Lord." Yet the dogs under the table, eat of the children's crumbs. And he said unto her, for this saying, Go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter. And when she came to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. My leaders, I want to express something. Verse 24, Jesus Jesus arose and went into the borders of Tyrie and Saddak.

Tyrie and Saddon would be considered Gentile territory. These are the lost. These are going to be the people that do not know or have a relationship with Jesus Christ. These are not the Jews. Okay? Okay? And Jesus is making an intentional maneuver maneuver to go into a territory where people may not know him, where they may not have ever heard of the kingdom of God. His intentions is to reach the lost. And it says he entered into a house and would have no man know it, but he could not be hid.

This was during a time where there were so many miracles that were taking place that that everywhere Jesus went, if anybody even knew that he would be going to a specific place or a specific region, region, he couldn't be hid. the multitude. People just knew. People just knew. And in that knowing there's some specific woman who in my version calls a certain woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit. This is verse 25. She heard of him and came and fell at his feet. And as I was looking at this verse about this certain woman, one thing that hit me the most was, "Okay, hold on.

Wait a minute." She heard of him. She has this daughter that has an unclean spirit. And you could just imagine all the things once again that she may have tried to deal with her daughter. So many things. And I could just imagine that this woman specifically had a she heard something from somebody else. And why is this important? Once again, Jesus Christ is in Gentile territory. And in fact, before I get to a next point, in verse 26, it says, "The woman was Greek." Once again, she was Greek in a cyro phoenician by nation, meaning she was not a Jew, didn't know the Jews customs, had no reason to respect

a Jewish rabbi. Okay? So, and she wasn't a part of the covenant. covenant. She wasn't the chosen individuals. We're talking about the Israelites and we're talking about Gentiles. So, it's quite mind-boggling that this woman would fall at the feet of Jesus. This is an act of honor. This is an act of worship. whatever she heard from somebody else, somebody's testimony of maybe somebody being healed, maybe the blind seeing again. Okay? Maybe she heard of Gyrus daughter who was dead and brought back to life. Maybe she heard about the woman with the issue of blood blood for 12 years.

all of a sudden she touches the just the garment of Jesus Christ Christ and is healed. Maybe she heard these great profound stories and decided that although I don't know this Jesus personally, I'm going to seek him. I'm going to do what I can. Why? Because I got a need. And the need that she has is she got a daughter that's unclean that needs a casting of a spirit out. Maybe she heard about the individual when Jesus got off the boat who nobody could tame him with chains. The demons that were on him was were legions.

Maybe she heard about him and how he cast those demons into into pigs and threw them off a cliff and how those that saw him, the individual that had been sleeping in a tomb with unclean spirits, how he was set free. Maybe she heard about that type of deliverance and was wondering, "Whoever this is, I need that." You see, these testimonials that we share have a the ability to impact a nation. They have the ability to affect people that's not even in your current region. region. They got that ability. And I and I kept thinking to myself, "Wow, this woman knows nothing about him.

She knows nothing about Jesus, yet she falls at his feet." Now, check this out. Now, we're going to keep going. Verse 27, here's what it reads. But Jesus said unto her, "Let the children first be filled, for it is not meat, which means good, to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs." And I remember suffering what trying to understand what this verse meant. And here's what it means. Let the children first be filled is the idea of the the children of Israel. The people who are a part of the covenant, okay? God's people.

Let them be filled with the ministry of Jesus, Jesus, his healing, his love, salvation. And he says this, it is not good to take the children's bread and to cast it unto dogs. Dog would be the representation of Gentiles. And as I did some research, the um phrase dog, Jesus, first and foremost, he's using the phrase little dogs. But dogs was a common phrase that the Jewish would use to explain Gentiles. Gentiles. So this was a common phrase used. And it wasn't a phrase to disrespect. This text sounds like, "Hey man, he's being a little disrespectful." But no, no, no, no.

The way that he used the word dogs was little dogs. Okay? He wasn't trying to offend, but what he was doing was stirring something up in her and testing something real quick. And here's her answer in verse 28. And she answered and said unto him, "Yes, Lord. Yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. The reason why verse 28 is so profound to me is because of the way that she answered. She acknowledged that she was not a part of the covenant. She wasn't one of God's chosen people. She didn't have this this this relationship with him. She just met him. Okay.

Who is she to deserve this miraculous feat of her daughter being cleansed? cleansed? Who is it? Who is she to deserve the ministry of Jesus, the love of Jesus? She doesn't disagree. She says, but here's what she does do. She says, "Yes, Lord." Lord." And just those two words, yes Lord, this is before Jesus Christ dies on the cross. This is before we get the scriptures of confess Jesus Christ as Lord. Believe in your heart and you shall be saved. But yet this certain woman, this Greek Syrophenician woman says two things. Yes, Lord. This was her acknowledging Jesus as Lord over her life. That word Lord is the word curios.

Okay? And this word curios what it means is lord. It means master. It means is also used as owner. It's also used as authority. Okay. And this one is very good. Okay. It also means one I submit to. So the moment that she said yes Lord, she was admitting and saying this to the one that she submits to. Meaning that she was in a posture of surrender. Okay? Okay? Confessing Confessing that yes, I am who you speak. I am a dog. I am a gentile. I am one of those that are that are outside of the promise. But yes, Lord, Lord, as as to say in that moment, adopt me.

Make me yours. And then she says, yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's bread. And here's what he said in verse 29. And he said unto her, for this saying, go thy way. The devil is gone out of thy daughter. For this saying, what pleased her was what she said, the confession. Yes, Lord. Lord. And also what what pleased him was her humility humility to say even the dogs eat of the children's crumb. It reminds me of the woman with the issue of blood who just wanted to touch the hinge of Jesus. All she wants to do if I can just get a crumb. crumb.

Whatever you got, Lord, I don't need all your time. I don't need all your resources. I just need a crumb. I just need a I just need a touch. I just need a bit of your presence. If I could just get a little bit of you, I'm gonna be whole. If I could just get a little bit of you, my family's going to be saved. If I could just be get a little bit of you, my daughter, that unclean spirit is going to leave. If I can just get a crumb. Lord, give me the crumbs. Lord, give me the crumbs.

And as I'm reading this, I'm just thinking about thinking about if you have pets at the crib. And if you have pets at the crib and you're eating food, the moment you drop food, you know them dogs, them pets, they they licking everything. They eat of that. And what it reminded me is how fate, it's like a grain of mustard seed, man, have the ability to move mountains. And how fate, although it may be a crumb, it doesn't mean it's not omnipotent. That crumb has all power. Whether it's the fullness of of Jesus or just getting a little bit of him.

When the woman touched Jesus and when she touched him got a just a touch of him, a little little part of his garment, virtue was released from Jesus and instant instantly healed. That's full power. And it reminds me I just got to get in the presence. That's all I need. Whatever I got to do to get the crumb, Lord. I just want the crumbs. I ain't asking you to bless me with anything. anything. I ain't asking for an advance. I'm not She wasn't asking for nothing but just yet a crumb.

And it just it made me realize the humble posture of my confession, the humble posture of just desiring to be in his presence is enough. Like God, I just need you. That's it right there. You can just imagine she's been broken. He said I He draw near to those that draw near to him and those that have this contrite heart, man, he can't turn from. And in that moment, he couldn't turn from this woman with that level of faith that ignited him. And then check this out. Here's what happens. happens. Verse 30. And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out of thy daughter.

So now the level of faith that she had was enough to heal someone else. Nowhere in this story do you see that the unclean daughter was the one that came to Jesus Christ. You see that the Phoenician Greek woman was the one that had enough faith to submit, surrender herself to the Lord. She sought Jesus for this thing. And sometimes it takes certain scenarios for us to get to the point where, hey, we going to fall at the feet of Jesus. We going to get to worship and we done tried every single thing. And in this level of faith, it healed her unclean daughter. That's powerful. That's powerful.

This is Gyrus and his dead daughter who's 12 years old. He's the one that seeks Jesus. In him seeking Jesus Christ, what happens? His daughter is brought back to life. This is a profound, profound moment. And then we see one of the first times somebody has confessed Jesus as Lord and was saved. This is profound. And it just goes to show you how powerful your faith in Jesus Christ actually is. Don't downplay it. There's power in it. It's actually healing other individuals. You don't even know it, but it's moving and it's contagious. So this today is to bring hope. hope. All you need is the presence.

Lord, just give us the crumbs. That's all we need. That's all we asking for. If I don't get nothing else but a crumb. Hallelujah. That's all I want. I want your presence. I want your presence. I want you. Forget everything else. I want you. If I have you, that's enough. If I if I have you, that is it. So, heavenly father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Lord, Father, I just want to say thank you for your precious word and how we could be lost, we could be far from you, we cannot even have a relationship with you.

But the moment we seek you, in the moment we confess, in the moment we just say, "Lord, if it's not just but the crumbs that I can get, Lord, Lord, if it's not only the crumbs that I can get, give me the crumbs. Give me just a little bit of you. Give me just a little bit." And Father, I thank you because when we even pray something like that in humility, you're not just going to give us a little bit. You're going to unlock the floodgates. And my prayer is that this leader begins to feel your presence. This leader begins to feel your love.

This leader is reminded that just a little time with you, a little touch of you is enough is enough to do something miraculously profound. Heavenly Father, so fill this leader up with your love, Lord. I pray grace and mercy over this leader right now. And Father, we repent of any sin, Jesus, that we've committed today that went against your will. And father, we ask that you continue to be with us, Lord. Father, we love you. We thank you. And it's in Jesus mighty name that we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. My leaders, I love you, but Jesus Christ loves you more.

My leader, if all you do is just seek the crumbs of Jesus, I'm a firm believer that your life will be changed. I love you, my leaders.
