Voice What You Believe
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation (Romans 10:10).
Some Christians are agonized because their
personal experiences don’t seem to be in sync
with the realities and provisions of the Gospel, even
though they “believe” the Word of God. That you
believe the Word doesn’t mean it’s going to work for
you. Believing isn’t enough. It’s like having faith and
not using it; it’s not going to work; you must use your
faith for it to produce result.
As the principle in our opening verse reveals, even
though you’ve believed the Gospel and are made right
with God, you may not enjoy the benefits of salvation
and righteousness until you act on the underlined
portion of the opening text. Your confession is what
catapults you into the vital experience of salvation,
meaning that your mouth-work is important. Your
mouth was given to you to say the right things
that’ll direct the course of your life, beginning with
salvation: “With the mouth, confession is made unto
salvation.”
The word translated “confession” is the Greek
“homologeo” which means speaking the same thing
in consent; to say the same thing in agreement with God.
When God says something, you respond by
speaking in line or in agreement with what He has
said. You must do this to experience the blessings of
His Word in your life.
God gave us mouths so we can vocalize and use
His Word to mould and shape our lives and destinies,
in the direction of His perfect will. His Word requires
your response all the time. Your response is what
you say, because of what He has said: “…for he hath
said…So that we may boldly say…” (Hebrews 13:5-6).
If the principle works for salvation, it’ll also work for
everything that’s based on salvation: deliverance,
protection, healing, preservation, prosperity, wellness,
wholeness, etc. Therefore, don’t stop at believing;
vocalize your faith and act accordingly.
Confession
I walk in absolute mastery, victory, divine health, safety,
wellness and wholeness because I’m in Christ, and Christ is my life!
His wisdom, righteousness, peace, glory and joy are resplendent in, and expressed
through me, in the Name of Jesus! Amen.
