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
