Confession Of Faith: Wednesday 9/23/2015

Confession of Faith:
 “ I am filled with joy and victory because God has taken me over; He is fighting my battles. I am not afraid of circumstances because I can do all things in Him who strengthens me.
He is not only my strength, but He is at my right hand. He is my salvation; whom shall I fear? “
 
He throws light upon life's problems so that I know I can act intelligently. He is my salvation, my deliverance from every trap that the enemy sets for me, from every snare in which he would enslave me.
 
"God is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?" I am not afraid of anything. I have no fear because this God of Omnipotence is on my side. This is my continual confession.
 
I confess… that I have a Redemption that God planned and wrought in Christ. I am a New Creation of which He, Himself, is the Author and the Finisher.
 
I Confess… I have a righteousness that permits me to stand in His presence as though sin had never been.
 
I not only have righteousness reckoned to me, but I have righteousness imparted to me in the New Nature that I have received from Him.
I have received His nature, His Life; and in this Life and Nature is the Life of God. This makes me righteous even as
 He is Righteous.
 
 
This is my confession. This gives me boldness in prayer. This builds faith. This makes my way sure.
 
Read this aloud:
I am no longer hemmed in by limitations because I am united with the Limitless One.
He is the Vine and I am the branch. As a branch I bear His fruit because the Vine is imparting to me the fullness of His Life.
I know the reality of this because it has become a part of my very being.
I know I love because He has shed abroad His Love in my heart through the Holy Spirit, and I know that 
His Nature in me is Love.
His Love ability has gained the mastery, for now I can love in whatever circumstances I am placed.
I can say with joy, "Sin shall not have dominion over me." It can no longer lord itself over me. Circumstances can no longer hold me in bondage and hinder my usefulness in the world. I have not only God's life in me and this great Spirit Who raised up Jesus from the dead in me, but I have the use of Jesus' Name.
 
GLORY TO GOD!!!!!!
 
He has given to us a legal right to use the name of Jesus. Our confession is that whatever we ask of the Father in His Name He gives to me.
 
He has given us the power of attorney. We are using that power to help men.
 
We are taking Jesus' place now. He is working His own work through us. He is living His Own Life in us.
 
Jesus said : "In my name you will cast out demons." We are exercising our rights. He said : "In my name you will lay hands on the sick and they will recover." Our hands become the medium through which His Life pours.
 
We are living the abundant life. His words broke the power of death, of demons, and healed the sick. They do the same thing on our lips.
 
Confession is faith's way of expressing itself. Faith, like love, is only revealed in action and word.
 
Now we know how Faith comes…
Rom 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
 
Faith grows with your confession. The more you hear yourself confess the Word the more you will grow in Faith.
Confession does several things to the believer: It locates him. It fixes the landmarks of his life. It mightily affects his spirit, the inner man, when he makes his declaration.
 
For instance, there is Romans 10:9-10:
 
9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that 
you confess and are saved.

 
There are two confessions involved here: First, a confession of the lordship of Jesus. And second, that we have become the Righteousness of God and are saved.
 
These are positive confessions. The reason that the majority of Christians, though they are earnest, yet they are weak, is because they have never dared to make a confession of what they are in Christ. What they must do is to find what they are in the Mind of the Father-how He looks upon them-and then confess it. This can be found in the Epistles.
 
When you find this, you boldly make your confession of what the Word declares you are in Christ. As you do this your faith will abound. The reason your faith is throttled and held in bondage is because you have never dared to confess what 
God says you are.
 
Remember that faith never grows beyond your confession.
 
Your daily confession of what the Father is to you, what Jesus is now doing for you at the right hand of the Father, and what the mighty Holy Spirit is doing in you will build a positive, solid faith life.
 
You will not be afraid of any circumstance, of any disease, or of any condition.
You will fearlessly face life as a conqueror. After a while you will find that Romans 8:37 is true: "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors." You will never be a conqueror until you confess it.
