Healed by Hearing and Confessing the Word

This last weekend I was in a city in West Texas for a football game, while waiting for the game to start I struck up a conversation with a lady in the stands who had a bad cough. She informed me that she was on the mend from a fight with Bronchitis. I asked if she had excepted that diagnosis. She informed me she had no choice but to except it. This is an open invitation to both minister and enlighten people to the Word of God.
The Word (salvation) is soteria, means to be healed, whole, rescued, and saved. So then if you are healed where are your promises? Isiah 53:4-5 "by His stripes you are healed..."
1Peter2:24 "by His stripes you were healed..."
These are promises from God to us when comes our way.
Mark 11:23-24 gives a command how to pray and walk in thay very healing, "pray, believe, then receive." Amen

Don’t Confess Your Sickness— Confess your Healing!

What does God have to say about the subject of healing? The Word declares that with Jesus’ stripes, you were healed (Isa. 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24). The Bible also says, “Surely He has borne our sicknesses and carried our diseases” (Isa. 53:4). And Matthew 8:17 says, “. . . Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.”
But many times, instead of confessing that Jesus has borne their diseases and put them away, people confess they still have them. You see, the reason we miss it so much of the time is, we take the testimony of our physical senses instead of taking the testimony of the Word of God. Amen

Don’t Confess Doubt—Resist It!

The same thing is true about doubt that is true about fear. Don’t confess your doubts. Don’t confess your fears.
Confess the Word instead. In fact, you haven’t got any business with doubt. You don’t have any more business with doubt that you have with dope. It’s of the devil. Doubt is contraband goods. Doubt is just as evil as dope or cussing. And if it is evil, we haven’t got any business with it. Doubt is evil. Amen

Don’t Confess Fear—Resist It!

Well, you’re not really afraid because the Bible says God has given you a spirit, not of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7). Fear isn’t something that is coming from the inside of you if you’re a Christian. It’s something that is coming from the outside of you, trying to get ahold of you. It is from the enemy.
You have a spirit of power—now say you do. And when you confess it, then what you confess begins to dominate you. We have to recognize that God has not given us a spirit of fear. We need to learn to stand our ground against the enemy. Amen

Turn Your Faith Loose

Dare to think God’s thoughts after Him! You see, the Bible contains God’s thoughts, and, of course, God’s thoughts are different than man’s thoughts. God says, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isa. 55:9). You can say some things that the Bible says are true, and in your natural mind, it doesn’t sound reasonable. Your mind hasn’t been renewed with the Word of God. But the Word works. It works by saying or it works by praying.

The Amplified translation reads, “For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe—trust and be confident—that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].” Mark 11:23-24
If you trust and are confident that whatever you asked for is granted, then you are going to say, “It’s mine, I have it now.” That is your faith speaking. Amen

Confession Is Made Unto . . .

You will never be a conqueror first and then believe you are one. No, you have to confess it first, and then you get there. The confessions of your faith will cause the desired realities in your life. Get this spiritual law, and once you understand the truth of it, it will help your spiritual growth immeasurably.

ROMANS 10:10
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
A man who wants to get saved. He has to believe in his heart that Jesus is Lord and that God has raised Him from the dead because the Word says it. Then he must confess with his mouth what he believes in his heart—that Jesus died for him according to the Scriptures and that Jesus was raised from the dead for his own justification. Then he must confess Jesus as His Lord with his mouth because he believes it in his heart. Then according to the Bible, he is saved.
We must go by what the Word says. The Bible says to believe the Word first and then to confess the Word with your mouth, and it shall be done (Mark 11:23,24).
We walk by faith and not by sight
(2 Cor. 5:7).

No Faith Without Confession

There is no such thing as faith without confession! Confession is faith’s way of expressing itself. Faith, like love, is of the heart or the spirit.
You can’t reason love into people and you can’t reason love out of them because love is of the heart. Faith is of the heart or the spirit, too, and it’s safe to say that there is no faith without confession. And faith, like love, grows with your confession.
The reason the majority of Christians are weak, although they are sincere, is they have never boldly declared who they are in Christ. What they must do is find out from the Scripture how God the Father looks at them and then confess that. Amen

Confess Your Rights and Privileges

Let us look at several scriptures that do not have the words “in Him,” “in whom,” or “in Christ” in them, yet they do infer something about our rights and privileges in Christ.

COLOSSIANS 1:13 13 Who hath DELIVERED us from the power [authority] of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED US into the kingdom of his dear Son.
The word “who” in this verse refers to God. In Christ we are delivered from the power or authority of darkness.
1 JOHN 4:4 4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
In the Old Testament is
Isaiah 41:10
10 Fear thou not; for I AM WITH THEE: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Then in the New Testament, God says something else that agrees with the scripture we just read.
ROMANS 8:31
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR US, who can be against us?

Take these scriptures as a personal message from God to you. Remember, the Bible is God speaking to you.
God said in Isaiah 41:10, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee. . . .”
And because we as Christians are under the New Covenant, we can also say, “Thank God, He is in us.” Amen

Confession Is Witnessing to What You Know

Regarding confession, You can’t witness about things you don’t know about. And it is what you personally know about the Lord Jesus Christ and what you are in Him that counts.
First you have to be born again before you can know Jesus. But just because you’ve been born again does not mean you are a successful Christian. You must also know what you have in Christ and who you are in Him.
When you know who you are in Him, and when you think in line with that and believe and confess that, then there is no failure for you. Amen

Confession—Affirming, Testifying, Witnessing

Thinking, believing, and confessing in line with the Word all go together. Now whenever the word “confession” is used, we instinctively think of confessing sin and failure, but that is the negative side of confession.
The Bible has more to say about that than it does the negative side. Confession, is stating something we believe. It is declaring something we know to be true, and it is proclaiming a truth we have accepted wholeheartedly. Our confession should center around several basic, scriptural truths.
Our confession should center around several basic, scriptural truths.

2. What God has done in us by the Word and the Holy Ghost in the new birth and the infilling of the Holy Ghost.
3. Who we are to God the Father in Christ Jesus.
4. What Jesus is presently doing for us at the right hand of the Father, where He ever lives to make intercession for us. 5. What God can accomplish through us, or what His Word can accomplish through us as we proclaim it. Amen

Don’t Take Sides Against the Word

how is it that a person thinks he can get help from God apart from the Word of God?
Do they think can get answers from God apart from His Word? God only moves in line with His Word. The Bible says God has magnified His Word even above His Name (Ps. 138:2)!
How can believers get help from God when they are actually taking sides against the Word?
If you are taking sides against the Word, you can’t get God to work for you. He only works in line with His Word.
We should treat God’s Word with the same reverence that we would treat Jesus if He were here in the natural.
We should reverence the words in the Book; we should reverence and respect what the Word of God says.
God will put up with some unbelief, much like we put up with spiritual babies. But when we as Christians come into the knowledge of the truth, then God expects us to grow up spiritually and walk in the light of the truth of God’s Word.
Know the Word, speak the Word, and abide in the Word. Amen

The Riches of the Earth Are for Us!

Don’t pray for money because, you see, you have authority in My Name—the Name of Jesus—on the earth. I'll talk about more later.
God put the riches of the world here for His people. God said to Israel, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land”
Isa. 1:19
I know if God wants us to eat the best, He wants us to wear the best. He also wants us to drive the best, and He wants us to have the best.
Jesus came to the earth to introduce and reveal the Father to us. And Jesus is the One who said, “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give GOOD THINGS to them that ask him?” Matt. 7:11.
So many people want to jump on the band wagon and bash those who take what The Word says literally, as a believer I believe what God's Word says is true for me today as it was when it was written why? Because in His Word we read, "I am the same yesterday, today, and forever, I change not." I try not to be ugly about it but the bottom line is do you believe the Word or what a denominational teaching says? We have to stop playing church and get real. Amen

Heirs of Abraham’s Blessing

GALATIANS 3:29 
And IF YE BE CHRIST’S, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE. 
Galatians 3:7.
Know ye therefore that THEY WHICH ARE OF FAITH, the same are the CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM.

Abraham’s blessing is ours! Why shouldn’t we be thrilled with the Word of God? When we go to a football game (and I’m not opposed to going to ball games), we get all excited and worked up over someone running down the field with a bag of wind under his arm! And no one says anything against that; it’s considered all right to get excited about that.
We Christians have got something to be really thrilled about! Abraham’s blessing is ours! That’s something to be thrilled about!
Deuteronomy 28:15-28, the Bible lists the curse of breaking God’s Law. However, in verses 1-14 the Bible lists the blessings of obedience to God. The blessings listed here are the blessings of Abraham. Notice what God says to His people.
DEUTERONOMY 28:8,11-13
The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto. . . . 11 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods. . . . 12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure. . . . 13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath. . . .
Remember, God was talking about material and financial blessings. Instead of being on the tail end, because of a lack of knowledge, you will be right at the head!
verse 13 It is saying that you’ll not be on the bottom financially; you’ll be on the top! Amen

The Blessing of Abraham Is for All

Believers Abraham’s blessing was threefold in nature.
1. It was a material or a financial blessing (Gen. 13:2,15; Deut. 28:4,5,8,11,12).
2. It was a physical blessing (Gen. 13:16; 17:16; Exod. 15:26; 23:25,26).
3. It was a spiritual blessing (Gal. 3:14).
In the New Testament, Third John 2 agrees that God wants us to be prosperous materially, financially, physically and spiritually.
3 JOHN 2 
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in health, EVEN AS THY SOUL PROSPERETH. Prosperity was not just for the Jews under the Old Covenant.
Third John 2 was written to believers! The Bible is our final authority.
I get beat up quite often the subject of prosperity. It would seem that the very people who are opposed to prosperity are the very same people who are very well off in their own right. This puzzles me,    if you strive to make a good living and do well for yourself and your family this is ok, but if you desire to receive what the Word says is yours that is wrong. The Word is very clear both Old and New Testaments God wants His people to prosper. Amen

Redeemed From the Curse of Poverty

You are redeemed from the curse of poverty. Some folks think that it is the will of God for a person to go through life and not ever have anything. We have heard that taught a lot in days gone by.
Sometimes it is easier to believe tradition than to believe the Bible. Many times, instead of actually believing the Bible, we believe what we’ve been taught that the Bible says—not what the Bible actually says.
you hear people say all the time, “The Bible teaches that money is the root of all evil.” The Bible doesn’t say that at all! It says the love of money is the root of all evil (1 Tim. 6:10), and you can be guilty of that sin and not have even one dime! Amen

Redeemed From the Curse of the Law

GALATIANS 3:13 13 Christ hath REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.
We are redeemed from the curse of the Law. What is the curse of the Law?
The Law invariably refers to the first five books of the Bible, also called the Pentateuch.
As you study those five books of the Law, you will find that the curse or the punishment for breaking God’s Law is threefold: It is poverty, sickness, and the second death. Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of poverty
(Deut. 28:15-68).
He has also redeemed us from the curse of sickness
(Deut. 28:15-68). Christ has redeemed us from the curse of death—that is, spiritual death or eternal separation from God now, and physical death when Jesus comes again. We need have no fear of the second death. Hell is the home of the spiritually dead and I’m not spiritually dead and neither are you if you are born again! Amen

Confessing Who We Are in Christ

There are methods to studying the Bible. Believers should read through the New Testament, primarily the epistles which are written to the Church, and underline with a red pencil or write down the scriptures that have the expression “in Him,” “in Christ,” or “in whom,” referring to Jesus. The moment you find these scriptures, begin to confess that this is who you are and what you have. If you’ll do that, life will be different for you. Here are some scriptures to get you headed in that direction. Then you will have to find the rest on your own. When you find these scriptures, begin to confess that they are a reality in your life. We should confess of who we are in Christ. We should confess these scriptures not only before God, but before the world.

New Creatures in Christ
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17
We are new creatures in Christ Jesus. We are not just forgiven sinners. We are not poor, weak, staggering, sinning, “barely-getting-along” church members.

We are created by God in Christ Jesus
Eph. 2:10
We are new creatures created in Christ Jesus with the life of God, the nature of God, and the ability of God in us.

In Whom We Have Redemption
EPHESIANS 1:7,8
Satan’s dominion over our lives has been broken! Satan lost his dominion over your life the moment you became a new creature. In the new birth, you received a new lord, Jesus Christ.
These are but a few scriptures go and find more and stand on the Word. Amen

The Positive Side of Confession

Very few Christians have actually realized and recognized the place that confession holds in the scheme of things. And it is to be regretted that whenever we use the word “confession,” folks invariably think of confessing sins, weaknesses, and failures. That is the negative side of confession, but there is a positive side. And the Bible has more to say about the positive side of confession than it does about the negative side. “to confess” means to acknowledge or to own up to or to acknowledge faith in. It also means to make confession of one’s faults. But remember, one definition is to make confession of one’s faith or to acknowledge faith in God’s Word. If we just live on one side of this confession subject—the negative side—and constantly confess our faults and failures, and that’s all we ever confess, then we are going to grow to be lopsided in our Christian life. This will build weakness and sin and failure-consciousness into our spirits. Christianity is called “The Great Confession.” Confessing is actually three things:
1. Confession is stating something we believe.
2. Confession is declaring something we know to be true.
3. Confession is proclaiming a truth we’ve accepted wholeheartedly. Confession is a proclamation of what you know to be true. Your confession states what you believe. Your confession declares something you know. And your confession proclaims a truth you have accepted wholeheartedly.

Right Thinking, Believing, and Confessing

Romans 10:10 says, “. . . with the MOUTH confession is made unto. . . .”
Right thinking and right believing and right confessing. What you think and what you believe will affect your confession—what you say.
If your thinking is right, your believing will be right because what you meditate on will eventually get down into your heart. And you will begin to believe what you have been meditating upon. If your believing is right then your confessing will be right. But if any one of the three is wrong—your thinking, your believing, or your confessing—then all three of them will be wrong.

It is with the heart that man believes when it comes to receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and it is with the mouth that confession is made unto this Pentecostal experience.

Faith Matters

It makes all the difference in the world whether we look at things the way the Word of God says, or the way we think things should be. Oh, when we can see things God’s way, what a big difference it makes!
“. . . If he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him” (James 5:15). When you understand the Bible, you can understand why God does things the way He does. You can understand why and how things work many times.
HEBREWS 10:1-4
1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

This passage of Scripture tells of the failure of the blood of bulls and goats under the Old Covenant to take away sins. The blood of bulls and goats could only cover sins. Those animal sacrifices still left the sin in the heart of man. And with the sin was sin consciousness. But God, in our redemption in Christ, has redeemed us from sin consciousness. Once we have asked forgiveness for our sins, we don’t ever have to remember them again.
HEBREWS 9:14
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, PURGE YOUR CONSCIENCE from dead works to serve the living God?
1 JOHN 1:9
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to CLEANSE US from all unrighteousness.

If you sin, and you repent and confess your sin to God, you should have no more remembrance of it. God doesn’t, so why should you? Then you can see with what confidence we can come before God in prayer and know with a certainty that He hears us. Amen

The Believer Confessing His Sins

Notice that the third kind of confession that is spoken of in the New Testament is of the believer confessing his sin when he has broken fellowship.
PSALM 137:1-4
1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 4 How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?
We see that Israel had sinned. They were carried away into captivity in Babylon.
(Ps. 137:4). This is a picture of broken fellowship. We as Christians lose our testimony the moment we sin. Sin always puts the light out. Faith has no song when fellowship is broken!
1 JOHN 1:3-10
The word “fellowship” is mentioned four times in these verses.They are not written to sinners. Don’t ever use these verses in praying with a sinner; they don’t belong to him.
God is saying that if I’m out of fellowship and I declare that I am spiritually all right, I’m not telling the truth because I’m not all right with God. If I say I have not committed sin, and yet my fellowship with God is broken, then my faith is feeble. Amen

The Confession the Sinner Makes

In Romans 10:9, it tells us how to get saved. It says, “. . . if thou shalt CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Notice it says, “That if thou shalt CONFESS . . .” (Rom. 10:9). This is the real confession the sinner makes. He has served Satan. He is guilty of only one sin in the sight of God and that is the sin of rejecting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Therefore, God demands that the sinner confess the Lordship of Jesus Christ. This is real repentance. This is real faith.
Once a person is born again, God will deal with him about the things he needs to change and will give him the power to change them.
That confession is not only for his own sake, but it is for the sake of those unsaved people in the world around us, and it is for the benefit of Satan, declaring that you are no longer under his dominion (Eph. 1:19-21). Amen

Jesus tells us that the sinner will be convicted by the Holy Spirit of but one sin, and that is the sin of rejecting Jesus: “ Actually, the sinner couldn’t confess all the sins he’s ever committed. He couldn’t even think of everything he’s ever done that was wrong. No, the main confession the sinner must make is the Lordship of Jesus.

First, John the Baptist and Jesus’ teaching to the Jews which was the confession of their sins.

John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, CONFESSING THEIR SINS.
The Confession of the Sinner
Second, there is the confession of the sinner under the New Covenant.

Walk By the Word—Not by Sight or Feelings

If we want to walk by faith, the Word must be superior to everything else and anything else. The Word must be superior to any knowledge, whether that knowledge is ours or someone else’s knowledge. We must also remember this, that when we trust God with all of our hearts, there comes a quietness and a peace into our spirits.
Hebrews 4:3 says, “For we which have believed do ENTER INTO REST. . . .”
my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19)
then we just simply know in our spirits that everything we need will be supplied, and we don’t worry. We have no anxiety. If we’re worrying, if we have anxiety, then we’re not believing. Our hearts take courage as we read the Word. As we meditate in the Word, our assurance and confidence becomes deeper. This assurance in our spirits is independent of our human reasoning or of human knowledge. That assurance may contradict human reasoning; it may even contradict physical evidence, but to believe God with your heart means to believe apart from your body or mind anyway.
God’s Word works for you whoever you are. Amen

Jesus is speaking here of spiritual food. He is using the natural human idea—bread—to convey a spiritual thought. The Word is spirit and faith food. The Word of God is to the spirit of man what natural food is to the body of man. Our spirits become filled with assurance and confidence as we meditate in the Word.
The Word of God is the food that makes our spirits strong and that gives us quiet assurance and confidence. You see, the body, the physical or outward man, believes in what he sees with his physical eyes or in what he hears with his physical ears or in what his physical feelings tell him. But the man on the inside—the spirit or the heart of man—believes in the Word regardless of seeing, hearing, or feeling. His believing does not depend on sense knowledge; it depends on the Word of God. Amen

Believe and Receive—Then Have

When Jesus said, “. . . What things soever ye desire . . . ,” He meant just exactly what it said (Mark 11:24). And when Jesus said, “. . . when ye pray . . . ,” He meant the very moment you pray. You are to believe you receive whatsoever things you desire the moment you pray.
Jesus said, “. . . BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them.” In common, everyday language, Jesus said, “You’ve got to believe you’ve got your answer before you get it!”
This is a small nugget I was never taught in Sunday School or the church I grew up in. Even in the great University I went to learn the Word of God I was not told I was to believe and receive when. But that is in fact what the Word says. I hope this bless' you. Amen

The Inward Man

ROMANS 7:22 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man.
In Romans 7:22, the spirit of man is called the “inward man.” So this inward man and the hidden man gives us God’s definition of the human spirit. Remember the real man is a spirit; he has a soul; and he lives in a body (1 Thess. 5:23). With our spirit we contact the spiritual realm; with our soul we contact the intellectual and emotional realm; and with our physical being we contact the physical realm. You can’t contact God with your mind. You can’t contact God with your body. You can only contact God with your spirit. And God contacts and communicates with you through your spirit.
Can you remember as a sinner how the Word of God affected you on the inside, in your spirit? The Holy Spirit through the Word, spoke to your heart or your spirit. You heard the Word with your physical ears, but it affected your spirit.
The Word of God is of the Spirit of God, and the Bible says the Word of God is foolish to the natural mind. The reason the Word of God is foolish to the natural mind is that you don’t understand the Bible with your head; it is spiritually understood. You understand the Bible with your heart or your spirit.

The Heart of Man

For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. —Romans 10:10 
Notice particularly the words, “For with the heart man believeth. . . .” It’s with the heart that man believes. Now when God speaks of the human heart here, He is not speaking of the physical organ. He is actually speaking of the human spirit which is the very center of man’s being.
We know that man was created in the image and the likeness of God (Gen. 1:26). That means man is in the same class with God. Man has to be in the same class with God, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to worship God in spirit and in truth.
To believe God with your heart means to believe God with your spirit—the real man or the inner man. Amen

The Hidden Man of the Heart Is the Real Man

The same thing is true with the “hidden man of the heart,” as the spirit man is called in First Peter 3:4. Your spirit man on the inside is actually the “real you,” for it is the part of you that is eternal.
The inward man, your spirit, is called the hidden man. He is the man of the heart; the man of the spirit. The hidden man is hidden to the physical or the natural man. The natural man doesn’t necessarily want to submit to the inward man (Rom. 8:7), but the inward man—the spirit man is the real man on the inside.
Believers need a new psychology, which goes beyond the mere study of the mind of man. We ought to call it spiritology because psychology only deals with the operation of the human mind through the physical senses. Psychology books have to be constantly changed because they are based on natural human knowledge and theories. Spiritology, on the other hand, would be the study of the human spirit. In Romans 7:22 the spirit is called the “inward man.” This inward man or the “hidden man” in First Peter 3:4 gives us God’s definition of the human spirit.

PHILIPPIANS 1:21-24 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to DEPART, AND TO BE WITH CHRIST; which is far better: 24 Nevertheless to abide IN THE FLESH is more needful for you.
When a believer dies, he leaves his physical body, and he goes to heaven to be with the Lord. Friends, we can only understand God and the things of God through His Word.

Under the New Covenant God dwells in people—not buildings.

The Power Source Within

The Book of First John and the other epistles were letters written to the churches—to believers. They were written to folks who are not just born again, but were Spirit filled too. It was the exception for believers not to have received the Holy Ghost with the supernatural sign and evidence of speaking in other tongues. It is only through our "Religious Training" we think otherwise, therefore the Baptism of the Holy Spirit becomes an non issue with many believers.
When faced with tests and trials, sometimes even people who have been filled with the Holy Ghost and have received the enduement of power from on High will sometimes run around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to find someone who can help them.
All the time they were trying to find someone to help them, the Greater One was on the inside of them, trying to help them and give them their answers.
They were filled with the Holy Spirit and thought it was just some kind of an experience or a blessing.

Thank God, God indwells us as believers, through the Person of the Holy Spirit, today too. Because of the indwelling Presence of the Holy Spirit, it should be a common practice in the Church today for believers to say in every crisis of life, “I am more than a conqueror.” However, the truth is, making positive confessions based on our rights and privileges in Christ is almost an unknown practice in the church world today. The Christian’s continual confession should be, “I am a victor. The Creator dwells in me; the Greater One lives in me. The Person and power of the Holy Ghost dwells in me.

The mighty truth connected with redemption, this is the apex: God Himself, after He recreated us and made us new creatures and made us His own, is actually making our bodies His home!
When you are born again, it is more than an experience. The Holy Ghost, the Third Person of the Godhead, a divine Personality, comes to live in you. In fact, the Bible even goes so far as to say that God Himself is living in you.

2 CORINTHIANS 6:16 16 . . . for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell IN them, and walk IN them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. God no longer dwells in the man-made Holy of Holies. Through the new birth, our bodies have become His temple.
1 CORINTHIANS 6:19,20 19
What? know ye not that YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE of the Holy Ghost which is IN you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
We need to become “God-inside minded.” In other words, we need to just simply take God at His Word. We need to believe and act like the Bible is true when it says, “. . . greater is he that is IN you, than he that is in the world”

The Blood of Jesus

The Word said that under the New Covenant we have a better covenant established upon better promises

The blood of Jesus Christ doesn’t cover our sins; it cleanses us from our sins.
The last part of Rev. 1:5 says, “. . . Unto him that loved us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood.”

First John 1:9, which says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to CLEANSE us from all unrighteousness.”
The Bible isn’t talking to sinners here, it is talking to believers. We become the righteousness of God in Christ when we are born again. If we sin since becoming a new creature in Christ, and we do, we simply confess our sins, and God would forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. And when we are cleansed from unrighteousness, then we are in fellowship with God again.
We have a standing at the throne of God, and it is just as good a standing as Jesus Himself, for Jesus is my right standing. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM. Amen

God Is Our Righteousness

God Himself has become our righteousness. God the Father became our righteousness when He imparted to us His nature—eternal life—when we were born again in the new birth. Jesus became our righteousness the moment we took Him as our Savior and confessed Him as our Lord. He then became our Sponsor, our Lord, our Head, and our very Life.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-21 17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM.
God did not make any unrighteous or unworthy creatures. That would be an insult to Him. No, Jesus who knew no sin was made to be sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Cor. 5:21).

The fourth step necessary to attain the highest kind of faith is to know the reality of our righteousness in Christ.

ROMANS 3:23-26

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his RIGHTEOUSNESS: that he might be JUST, and THE JUSTIFIER of him which believeth in Jesus.

This is not theory but a Bible fact. God’s Righteousness Is a Gift Most people have thought that righteousness is some kind of a state they had to attain to by right living, but that isn’t true at all.
Of course believers are to live right. But, actually, “righteousness” means rightness or right standing. And righteousness is a gift. If you can’t see that, read Romans 5:17 again and let it sink in.

Separation From the World, Not Segregation

Many people read that passage of Scripture and think it is talking about what they call separation from the world.

These people read Second Corinthians 6:14-17, and then they think that they can’t have anything to do with the world or with anyone in the world.

Believers are not to segregate themselves from the world, or how could they be the salt of the earth and the light of the world? However, on the other hand, they are to be separate from the world and not adopt the world’s standards (2 Cor. 6:17); they are to be like Jesus or they couldn’t be the salt of the earth, nor the light of the world either.

That is when the legal act of redemption, which was wrought in Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection became a reality in your own life. In the new birth, you have in your spirit the very life and the very nature of God.
The new birth is not just an experience. It is not a religion, and it is not joining a church. It is the actual rebirth of our spirits. We are the very sons and daughters of Almighty God.

Another translation of verse 12 reads, “. . . which made us ABLE to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light”! Thank God, we are able to be partakers of our inheritance and we can enter into our inheritance in Christ.
Read verse 13: “Who HATH delivered us from the POWER of darkness. . . .” This verse does not say God is going to deliver us; it says He has already delivered us when we were born again into God’s Kingdom.
The Greek word translated “power” here means authority. In other words, we could read that scripture, “Who has delivered us from the authority of darkness. . . .” Now that word “darkness” means everything that Satan is—the kingdom of Satan.

The doctors usually let her come home for two-week periods anytime. Just from hearing the Word, that woman’s mind was made clear, and she never went back to the hospital. The doctors gave her a clean bill of health. You see, she had begun confessing defeat, fear, and doubt, and those things became a part of her. That’s how her mind became sick in the first place.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND.
You have a spirit of power—now say you do. And when you confess it, then what you confess begins to dominate you. We have to recognize that God has not given us a spirit of fear. We need to learn to stand our ground against the enemy.
The Bible instructs us, “. . . Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).
That means you can resist the devil. I speak to fear and treat it as though it was a spirit because the Bible says God has not given us a spirit of fear.
That means fear is an evil spirit, because fear has torment (1 John 4:18), and it certainly isn’t good. If I’m tempted to be afraid, I say, “Fear, I resist you in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Believing God’s Word for Your Own Healing

You need to understand that your will and your believing have a lot to do with your receiving healing or whatever it is you need from God. If you don’t believe the Word or you don’t want to be healed, then God won’t push healing off on you. You have a part to play in receiving from God too. God doesn’t override your will in the matter.
God has certain rules and laws that He works by, and even those to whom He gives the healing ministry don’t go around pushing healing off on folks. There has to be cooperation on the part of the people receiving healing. So many people have thought that if someone would just pray the prayer of faith for them, they would automatically be healed, whether they themselves believed anything or not. But even if these people did receive healing by someone else’s faith, it would not be permanent. For example, I’ve seen people temporarily helped, but later they lost what they had received because they didn’t know how to hold on to their healing through their own faith.
If you are going to receive any permanent help, then you are going to have to act in faith yourself. You must practice God’s Word for it to work for you. As long as you hold on to the confession of weakness, sickness, and pain, you will still have weakness, sickness, and pain. You may search for some man of God to pray the prayer of faith for you, but it will be of no avail, because your unbelief will destroy the effects of his faith. Amen

Healed by Hearing and Confessing the Word

When people begin confessing defeat, fear, and doubt, and those things became a part of them.
That’s how peoples mind became sick in the first place.
When we began to make the right confessions, only then can healing began.
People can get sick mentally as well as they can get sick physically. And God can heal a mentally ill person as well as He can a physically ill person. As we hear the Word and confess healing as the Word says, then and only then healing can come by hearing. Romans 10:17  Amen

Don’t Confess Your Sickness

Confess your Healing! What does God’s Word say? Ask yourself that question on any subject.
Take healing or sickness, for example. What does God have to say about the subject of healing?
The Word declares that with Jesus’ stripes, you were healed (Isa. 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24). The Bible also says, “Surely He has borne our sicknesses and carried our diseases” (Isa. 53:4). And Matthew 8:17 says, “. . . Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.” But many times, instead of confessing that Jesus has borne their diseases and put them away, people confess they still have them.
You see, the reason we miss it so much of the time is, we take the testimony of our physical senses instead of taking the testimony of the Word of God.
But when they start confessing that Jesus has done something about their sickness and disease—that He has taken them away—then healing and health will become a reality in their lives. Amen

Turn Your Faith Loose

For with the heart man believeth unto righteous-ness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.— Romans 10:10
We have been reading about confession: “. . . with the mouth confession is made UNTO. . . .”
MARK 11:23 
For verily I say unto you, That 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. We have been discussing right and wrong thinking, right and wrong believing, and right and wrong confession. If our confessing is wrong, it is because our believing is wrong. If our believing is wrong, it is because our thinking is wrong. If our thinking is wrong, it is because our minds have not yet been renewed with the Word of God. But dare to think God’s thoughts after Him! You see, the Bible contains God’s thoughts, and, of course, God’s thoughts are different than man’s thoughts. God says, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isa. 55:9). Amen

No Faith Without Confession

There is no such thing as faith without confession! Confession is faith’s way of expressing itself. Faith, like love, is of the heart or the spirit. And you know just as well as I do that there is no love without word or action. You can’t reason love into people and you can’t reason love out of them because love is of the heart. Faith is of the heart or the spirit, too, and it’s safe to say that there is no faith without confession. And faith, like love, grows with your confession.
Remember your confession does two things for you: First, it pinpoints your location. Second, it sets the boundaries of your life. You don’t realize beyond what you say. If you say you can’t, then you can’t. You get nothing. But if you say you can, then you can. You can have what you say, whether you talk unbelief or belief. Your confession mightily affects your spirit or your inner man. Amen,Amen, and again I say Amen.

Confess Your Rights and Privileges in Christ

Here are several several scriptures that do not have the words “in Him,” “inwhom,” or “in Christ” in them, yet they do infer something about our rights and privileges in Christ.

COLOSSIANS 1:13 13
Who hath DELIVERED us from the power [authority] of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED US into the kingdom of his dear Son: The word “who” in this verse refers to God. In Christ we are delivered from the power or authority of darkness.

1 JOHN 4:4 4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. A companion scripture to First John 4:4 in the Old Testament is
Isaiah 41:10.

ISAIAH 41:10
10 Fear thou not; for I AM WITH THEE: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Then in the New Testament, God says something else that agrees with the scripture we just read.

ROMANS 8:31 31
What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR US, who can be against us? Take these scriptures as a personal message from God to you. Remember, the Bible is God speaking to you.

God said in Isaiah 41:10, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee. . . .” And because we as Christians are under the New Covenant, we can also say, “Thank God, He is in us.” Amen

Confession Is Witnessing to What You Know

You can’t witness about things you don’t know about. It is what you personally know about the Lord Jesus Christ and what you are in Him that counts. Of course, first you have to be born again before you can know Jesus. But just because you’ve been born again does not mean you are a successful Christian. You must also know what you have in Christ and who you are in Him. When you know who you are in Him, and when you think in line with that and believe and confess that, then there is no failure for you. Amen

God Works Through Believers To Confirm His Word

The way God works through us and in our lives is by His Word through our lips. Jesus said, “Go teach” (Matt. 28:19).
Jesus commanded us to teach His Word. That is the way God works in and through us—through His Word. We are carriers of the Word. And if we don’t carry the Word and give out the Word, then we aren’t obeying Jesus. God will work in our lives through His Word.
The Holy Ghost and God only work in connection with the Word.
MARK 16:15-18,20 15 And he [Jesus] said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. . . . 20 And they went forth, and preached [the gospel, or the Word] every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.
What did God do as the disciples preached His Word? God confirmed His Word. God didn’t do a thing until they preached the Word. If you give the Word out, the signs will take care of themselves. You don’t follow signs. Signs follow the Word.
Amen

Confession—Affirming, Testifying, Witnessing

Thinking, believing, and confessing in line with the Word all go together. Now whenever the word “confession” is used, I instinctively think of confessing sin and failure, but that is the negative side of confession. There is also a positive side of confession and the Bible has more to say about that than it does the negative side. Confession, is stating something we believe. It is declaring something we know to be true, and it is proclaiming a truth we have accepted wholeheartedly. Our confession should center around several basic, scriptural truths. Amen

Don’t Take Sides Against the Word

How can a person ever think he can get help from God apart from the Word of God.
There are Full Gospel believers—who think they can get answers from God apart from His Word. God only moves in line with His Word.
The Bible says God has magnified His Word even above His Name (Ps. 138:2)!
How can believers get help from God when they are actually taking sides against the Word?
You may unconsciously be taking sides against the Word through ignorance, for example. But no matter what the reason, if you are taking sides against the Word, you can’t get God to work for you. He only works in line with His Word.
It is astonishing to see the attitude people have toward the Word. We should treat God’s Word with the same reverence that we would treat Jesus if He were here in the natural. I don’t mean we should reverence the paper and ink. Not reverencing a physical book; I mean we should reverence the words in the Book; we should reverence and respect what the Word of God says. Amen

Thinking, Believing, and Confessing

For with the heart man believeth unto righteous-ness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. — Romans 10:10 Notice this verse says, “. . . with the mouth confession is made unto. . . .” Jesus said in Mark 11:23, “. . . whosoever shall SAY . . . 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.” You can always tell if a person is believing right by what he says. If his confession is wrong, his believing is wrong. If his believing is wrong, his thinking is wrong. If his thinking is wrong, it’s because his mind has not been renewed with the Word of God. All three of these—thinking, believing, and confessing—go together. God has given us His Word to get our thinking straightened out. We can think in line with God’s Word; we can believe in line with God’s Word, and we can speak in line with God’s Word. Amen

Good Morning,

We just finished Conference this year what a refreshing time, I know that sounds so cheeky but this year really was a great time of renewing and new direction in ministry. I know many of you do receive from CMN but there are those who do not so this time is set aside to reconnect with other ministers to be renewed and strengthened in ways that only other ministers can. Having said that, thank you for allowing us to go and enjoy this time and thank you for your support and prayers. I will bring another message of our Lord Friday.

The Riches of the Earth Are for Us!

I want to share with you what the Lord said to me. He said, “Don’t pray for money anymore.
Don’t pray for money because, you see, you have authority in My Name—the Name of Jesus—on the earth. After all, I put all those riches on the earth for My children.” Do you think God put cattle, silver, and gold here for the devil and his bunch?
We know God loves the sinner, but does He love a sinner more than He loves His own children?
No, of course not! God put the riches of the world here for His people.
God said to Israel, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land” (Isa. 1:19).
I know if God wants us to eat the best, He wants us to wear the best.
He also wants us to drive the best, and He wants us to have the best.
Jesus came to the earth to introduce and reveal the Father to us. And Jesus is the One who said, “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give GOOD THINGS to them that ask him?” (Matt. 7:11).

Heirs of Abraham’s Blessing

GALATIANS 3:29
And IF YE BE CHRIST’S, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE.

I want you to look at Galatians 3:7.

Know ye therefore that THEY WHICH ARE OF FAITH, the same are the CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM.

Thank God, Abraham’s blessing is ours!

Why shouldn’t we be thrilled with the Word of God? When we go to a football game (and I’m not opposed to going to ball games), we get all excited and worked up over someone running down the field with a bag of wind under his arm! And no one says anything against that; it’s considered all right to get excited about that.
When you get thrilled about the Word of God, and you get so thrilled it shows up on the outside, then, someone says about you, “He’s a nut!” But, no, we Christians have got something to be really thrilled about! Abraham’s blessing is ours! That’s something to be thrilled about! Amen

The Blessing of Abraham Is for All

Believers Abraham’s blessing was threefold in nature.
1. It was a material or a financial blessing (Gen. 13:2,15; Deut. 28:4,5,8,11,12).
2. It was a physical blessing (Gen. 13:16; 17:16; Exod. 15:26; 23:25,26).
3. It was a spiritual blessing (Gal. 3:14).
In the New Testament, Third John 2 agrees that God wants us to be prosperous materially, financially, physically and spiritually.
3 JOHN 2
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in health, EVEN AS THY SOUL PROSPERETH.

Prosperity was not just for the Jews under the Old Covenant.
3 John 2 was written to believers! The Bible is our final authority.

Redeemed From the Curse of Poverty

Some folks think that it is the will of God for a person to go through life and not ever have anything. We have heard that taught a lot in days gone by.
Sometimes it is easier to believe tradition than to believe the Bible. Many times, instead of actually believing the Bible, we believe what we’ve been taught that the Bible says—not what the Bible actually says.
Some people think poor old Job went through life poverty stricken, sick, and afflicted, but he didn’t. Most Bible scholars believe the events recorded in the entire Book of Job took place in about nine months’ time. When the thieves broke in and stole Job’s things, he was in captivity to Satan. When the fire burned up Job’s crops, he was in captivity to Satan.
God turned Job’s captivity (Job 42:10)!
when God turned Job’s captivity, He gave him twice as much as he had to begin with, so Job had plenty of grain to feed them. So Job’s turkeys weren’t poor, and there is no need for you to be poor either!
