Confession/The Power of Our Words

Confession/The Power of Our Words

{{Excerpt from

Kennith E. Haggin’s Book

“In Him”

The majority of Christians—though sincere—are weak. This is because they never really dared confess what God's Word says about them. They have never dared confess that they are what the Bible says they are—that they are who the Bible says they are—and that they have what the Bible says they have

In Him}}

    The biggest thing for me to take out of this is what are we confessing in our day-to-day lives? Many of us speak the circumstance and situation. Lets look at some examples.

Jack does not have enough money in the bank to pay all the bills. Jack tells his friends and co-workers about his lack. He goes home and worries about his lack. Jack shows his frustration and circumstance to the whole world. That is the wrong thing to be doing.

    I know it is a hard thing to get out of the habit of doing. Think about it though.  Are you going to let satan dictate your life, or are you going to take God at His Word and run with it?  God is a faith God, so if you do not have faith you are not working your part of the covenant with God.

    So now lets look at Jack’s situation from what a man of God would do. Jack in the natural does not have enough money, so you could say he is lacking.  What does the Word of God say?

Philippians 4:19

19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Luke 22:35

Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you out to preach the Good News and you did not have money, a traveler's bag, or an extra pair of sandals, did you need anything?" "No," they replied.

Proverbs 10:22

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

    Jack is facing this situation that in the natural is not good.  In the spiritual world, God says the blessing makes me rich and it adds no sorrow.  God supplies all my needs. Jesus sends me out and I lack nothing.  You may not understand the full aspect of confession but faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of Christ.

    Jack is fully persuaded that God is his source and that every prayer is yes (2 Corinthians 1:20 For as many as are the promises of God, they all find their Yes [answer] in Him [Christ]. For this reason we also utter the Amen (so be it) to God through Him [in His Person and by His agency] to the glory of God.).  That means that he only speaks the Word.  Does that seem odd at first, yes? Get over yourself and hop on over to the God kind of faith.

    Jack looks at his bank account and speaks exactly what God spoke over his live. Jack says “In Genesis 1:28 I am blessed. I am fruitful and multiple. I replenish the earth and subdue it, and I walk in complete dominion over this earth.  God gave me that authority through Jesus Christ.  Bank account be fruitful and multiple. I give and it shall be given back to me, and my God supplies all my needs according to his riches and glory in Christ Jesus. I am a disciple of Jesus and just as His disciples in Luke 22 had no Lack, I have no lack in any good thing. All of Gods promises to me are yes, Amen.  God’s blessing on my life makes me rich and I have now sorrow in it. I am blessed. In Jesus Name, Amen.”

   That’s confession to a disciple of Christ. Sure we confess our sin to God but not over an over again. We speak it and Jesus our advocate is just to forgive us of all our sins.  Then God the Father throws them in the sea of forgetfulness never to remember them again. Neither should we. Sure we did it. Sure we messed up. Move on and speak the Word of life, love, and wholeness over your life. We have a God to be joyful in. We serve a blessed God who loves us no matter what we have done. Praise Jesus for His goodness.  His mercy endures forever!

    So keep confession in the foremost of your mind.  What kind of confession? The God kind.
