READ: Matthew 11:16-19
«…And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?» - Matthew 21:16
The highest form of praise is found in babies and sucklings. It is perfected in children. Breast milk contains everything the baby needs. It is sucklings who catch the anointing of the anointed. The suckling latches on the breast because the breast milk is its stew, sausages, orange juice, water, vitamin C, etc. It is in this group that the perfected ultimate Christianity is found.
When you become a suckling of the anointed it means you have attached yourself with one of the breasts of the anointed and you are drawing power and anointing from the anointed. The highest grade of receptivity to the anointing is found in the babes and sucklings. Overcome the familiarity that does not allow you to genuinely admire the anointed.
Notice why the failures occur with children not dancing or mourning! Note why people did not listen to John the Baptist and how it will happen to you too, but in a different way. Jesus knew they did not dance for John and they would not mourn for Him when the time came.
This is the attitude of a vagabond in the market. The attitude of a vagabond in the market is opposed to the attitude of a babe or suckling. Nothing impresses or affects him. Be careful not to turn into a child that does not respond to greatness around him. John the Baptist came with great power. He was fasting all the time, had a sunken look and they said he had a demon. Jesus came but they did not respond to His eating, drinking and fellowshipping with others.
