Jesus did not want to do miracles outside of Israel, yet the woman`s faith and persistence led to healing.

From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and didn't want anyone to know it, but he couldn't escape notice. For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter. But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
But she answered him, "Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."
She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.

Mark 7:24-30

Having faith is the best thing ever. With faith in Hand and Persistence to get what you want done....in mind there's nothing that can be stopped. The woman's faith and God's trust in her landed her what she wanted..... Faith is the key my friends. Believe in the Lord for everything he has to say and everything he does say is the beginning of something new to happend.

Stay Blessed Shalom.

"Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)

Jesus wasnt trying to incite hisdeath,Jesus was on a mission to teach the world the plan that GOD had for his life so we would learn by example longsuffering, love and humility.

Jesus listed specific things (which come from the heart) that makes one unclean.

'This people honors me with their lips,

but their heart is far from me.

But in vain do they worship me,

teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'
"For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men--the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things." He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.' But you say, 'If a man tells his father or his mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban, that is to say, given to God;"' then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother, making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."
He called all the multitude to himself, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand. There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"
When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable. He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Don't you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can't defile him, because it doesn't go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, thus making all foods clean?" He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man. For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts, covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."Mark 7:6-23

I want a heart full of joy, one with compassion and mercy. One over flowing with pure sacredness. One that knows not the word HATE. Just like yours above my Father!

And its because my heart wasnt clean and fulfilling i know now what it needs and wants. I do recognize the sayings of the Lord, and thats why i'm able to use it to move forward.

Stay Blessed Shalom.
