Your Confession Establishes It
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is
written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we
also believe, and therefore speak
(2 Corinthians 4:13).
For your faith to produce results, not only
must you know the Word and have it in your
consciousness, you must speak it forth. The power is in
affirmation. This is where some Christians have missed
it; they “confess” the Word to “bring it into being.”
They’re trying to get God to do something by their
confession, but it doesn’t work that way. The Word of
God is truth; you must acknowledge it to be so, and
have it in your consciousness through meditation, then
your confession establishes it. That’s what we read in
our opening verse: if your faith is alive, talk! Your mouth
establishes the Word of God in your life.
Jesus said in Mark 11:23, “… whosoever shall say
unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou
cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but
shall believe that those things which he saith shall
come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
When the Word is in your heart, and spoken forth,
it becomes a creative force. God’s Word created
everything, and as such can create anything: “In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God…All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made that was
made” (John 1:1-3).
Whatever you desire today, the power to make it
happen is in your mouth. Jesus said a good man, out
of the good treasures of his heart, brings forth good
things (Luke 6:45). What are the good things you’ve
created in your heart through meditation? Speak them
forth! Bring them into being with your mouth. Use
faith-filled words to frame your world, and programme
your spirit for success and victory.
Confession
Out of my innermost being, I bring forth good things. I declare
that my life is for glory and beauty; and in my path, there’s
life, success, victory, and wealth.
I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, holy and sanctified
unto God! I flourish like the palm tree; I’m long-lived, stately,
upright, useful, and fruitful, and I grow like a cedar in Lebanon;
I’m majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible, in Jesus’Name. Amen.
