Pay Tribute To God, and Give Him Credit For Freely Giving Us All Things by Confessing the Truth of His Word

 

These words came unto me,

I made the world and all things therein. I am Lord of heaven and earth. I do not dwell in temples made with hands, neither am I worshipped with men's hands as though I need anything. I give to all life, breath, and all things. In me, you live, move, and have your being. You are my offspring begotten unto a lively hope. You are born again of incorruptible seed. I am your father, and I have revealed myself unto you. My eternal power and Godhead has been revealed to you. Continue to glorify me as God, and remain thankful. Be not vain in your imaginations, and your heart will not become foolish or darkened. You may believe in hope at all times and not be turned unto a weakness in faith because of the power of righteousness that has been imputed unto you.

You have looked to your own sufficiency and the sufficiency of those around you. Consider not this kind of sufficiency, and do not stagger at my promises through unbelief, but be strong in faith, and give glory to me. Be fully persuaded that what I have promised, I am able to perform.

Listen not to the scoffers of the hour. They are ignorant of who I am and my ability. I am not slack concerning my promises as some men count slackness. While I wait on men to repent, I am not changing, for I am the Lord, and I change not. What I have spoken is the truth. My testimony is real. I have placed within you the ability to trust totally and entirely in my declarations. I have given to every man the measure of a firm belief of my testimony and the truth of the gospel. By faith, you are justified, and without faith, it is impossible to please me. Without trust and confidence in me, you cannot satisfy me. If you desire to prove that you love me, then you must trust me.

The fact that I am not trusted does not make the faith of God without effect. The effect of the faith of God remains intact and is not disturbed by the failures of men. I have sent forth the effect of faith into the earth, and it will remain true. You may count on its effect, for it is reliable. Now that I have given it to you, you are obligated to fulfill faith's desire. Open your mouth, and declare faith's desire, for it is a speaking affidavit that confirms the truth of what you believe.

The apostasy of the hour was placed into motion because of unbelief. Do not join these renegades. Stand fast in the liberty wherewith I have made you free from all bondage. Clothe yourself with the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in this evil day. How will you stand if you have not pledged with your mouth an open declaration of your trust in me?

Many have gone back to their old ways because they did not hold fast to a good profession of faith. The decline of a good profession of faith is at the heart of backsliding, for by your words, are you justified and by your words, are you condemned. Be not condemned because of a faulty confession, but rise up, and speak as one betrothed to a woman deeply loved. If you deeply love me, then lay aside the declaration of worry and unbelief. Your confession is an admission of where your heart is. If your heart belongs to me, then give my faithfulness an entrance into it by a declaration of trust in my word.

Open your heart unto my word, and you will have confided in your burden bearer. Open your heart to me, and I will unburden it. Speak with confidence in what my word has said, and behold the release of all your burdens. Open your mouth, and confess the truth of my word then will you pay tribute to me, and give me credit for freely giving you all things. I gave myself for your sins. Now who will prevent me from giving you all things?

No one will prevent me from fulfilling my promises to you; therefore, profess a good profession before these witnesses. Fight the good fight of faith, and lay hold on eternal life, whereunto you are called. Stand up, and confess me before men, and I will confess you before the angels of God. You cannot be saved without a confession, for with the heart, man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. I am the Apostle and High Priest of your profession. I live inside of you, and I am faithful, so hold fast your profession. You have a high priest that is touched with the feeling of your infirmities. Come boldly before my throne of grace so that you may obtain mercy and find grace to help you in this time of need. Grace has come from my throne unto you. Grace is sprinkling your heart from an evil conscience and washing your body with pure water. Hold fast the profession of your faith without wavering, for I am the one who promised, and I am faithful.
