OUR
AGREEMENT WITH GOD
Confession
of Faith - #1
I
enjoy my deserts and wildernesses, for they are the classrooms
of higher spiritual learning. I do not despise the atmosphere
of these heavenly rooms, for their walls of loneliness are for
the acoustics of proper spiritual hearing.
Confession
of Faith - #2
I
appreciate the journey of good things. I will not be spoiled,
neither will I become ungrateful, but I am full of gratitude and
thanksgiving. Now will the waters of prosperity be a place to
swim and not a place to drown. God has given me the lifeguard
of grace and the life preserver of experience. I rest in the shade
of love, and I will come to the place of many blessings.
Confession
of Faith - #3
I
do not regret the bruises and wounds from the battle on this side
of the walls. All these things were necessary. I lift up my eyes
to the brighter days on the other side of the walls, and I will
see the sunshine of love awaiting my arrival. I greet the rays
of grace that are found in the sunshine of God's love. I kiss
the entire spectrum of this love-light, and I will find that my
lips shall speak of the grace found here in the hidden dimensions
of his light. The Lord has touched me this day with a fresh touch
of his hand. The touch did not make me better, but it paved a
way that I might see what has always been there. He has brought
me to this place. Now I open up my heart unto the work that he
will do in my life.
Confession
of Faith - #4
I
look again at the mercies of David, and I see that God made plans
for me, a child of Abraham, by the new covenant provision of faith.
I give him my faith, and he will give me an exchange of his blessings.
The currency of faith is enough for him. He has sought me and
found me, and now he looks for my faith. I give it to him, and
I do not fret about the threat of failure. He has not come to
answer the questions that failure has interrogated me with, but
he has come to enforce the actions of his cross. God has said,
"He has come to enforce the actions of his cross."
Confession
of Faith - #5
I
do not regret the path of loneliness. It is filled with many hidden
treasures and beautiful experiences, which cannot be found amidst
the crowded broad ways of worldliness. Along the lonely paths
of obscurity, I will enter into a love relationship with God that
shall secure my heart and bond my heart to his. I must be bonded
to him. My affections must belong to him and not to another god.
I must learn to love him. If I have not learned to love him, my
Delilah who shall surely come, will rob me of my crown and my
place in the kingdom.
Confession
of Faith - #6
I
have fought many battles. There are many sweet victories in my
memory bank, but I will always remember that my victories were
not because of my flesh or self. God is the secret to every victory.
I embrace him again, and he will cause me to remember my victories.
They shall be as honey in the carcass of defeated foes, and the
bitter things encountered shall become strongholds of wisdom and
foundations of safety.
Confession
of Faith - #7
I
keep in mind that God started this work in me, and he will perform
it unto the day of Jesus Christ. Though the wheels of justice
roll slowly, the wings of love have already satisfied justice
and gained permission to rescue me before justice rolled. I mount
up on the wings of God's love, and he will show me the heights
of love's victory.
Confession
of Faith - #8
Jesus
has forgiven my sins and my iniquities. I accept the peace of
love and forgiveness. The barking of spiritual dogs cannot remove
the righteousness that he has imputed. The strength of their untiring
legs cannot outlast God's longsuffering and his patience. The
Lord has placed the cloth of justification over their mouths.
By the hands of angels, he has put them to sleep and lifted me
above their sniffing noses. They have sought me in vain, for I
have found a refuge in him, the Eternal God.
Confession
of Faith - #9
God
has not come to join with my enemies to bring me down to defeat.
He is inside of me as the secret to my victory over them. I purpose
not to be filled with dismay because of the strength of these
wrestlers of the darkness of this world. They cannot shake the
faith that is within me. My faith is divinely powered and cannot
be vibrated from my bosom because of the conflict of the hour.
The Lord has not given me over to the desire of the warriors of
the darkness. He has led me into this conflict that his glory
might be declared in the earth. My human nature is frail and filled
with many passions, but my spiritual nature is regenerated and
filled with power and might. I will not be carnally minded, but
I will be spiritually minded. These magistrates of the darkness
are no match for the power that is within me. God is greater than
all of these things. These things must bow because of the name
of Jesus. I wear his name. I do not fear the intimidation of the
rank held by these powers. I have walked into a new dimension.
At the door of the new dimension, there is mighty conflict.
Confession
of Faith - #10
God
desires fervent, demonstrative praises that come from our heart
and strength. I cast aside my pride and my self-centeredness and
then will I behold the swift blows of divinity against my enemy.
Only humility can follow the path of the angels who have gone
on before me. I will join the warriors of flesh and come to the
graveyards of dry bones unless I go forth in praise and thanksgiving.
I enter into the security of thanksgiving and praise, and I will
be hidden from the wrestlers of the darkness.
Confession
of Faith - #11
I
arise early and seek the Lord. In the morning of my life, God
will greet me with the freshness of his love and its inspiration.
The relationship that he fostered has been returned to me. The
communion once held in high esteem has been revived in us. The
table of fresh bread is prepared for me today. Fresh water is
poured from on high, and light is shining in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake. I receive of his goodness today, and I rejoice
in the presence of redemption. Light has come to me, and the glory
of the Lord has risen upon me. Though darkness has covered the
earth and gross darkness the people, God has arisen upon me. His
glory shall be seen upon us. From our nations, this light is shining,
and many have come to this glorious light. Kings have come to
the brightness of his rising. I lift up my eyes from the small
things of my own comprehension, and I behold the abundance of
his glory. The tabernacle of David has been raised. I now have
walls of Salvation and gates of Praise. The Lord is the everlasting
light of this tabernacle. He is our glory. He is our everlasting
light. He has come to end our mourning. I believe this.
Confession
of Faith - #12
I
do not fear the storm of doubt and unbelief. God will speak peace
unto our storms and our weaknesses. I do not look to my own sufficiency,
neither to the gods of the world. God has many people that have
not bowed to the idols of the day. There are many in our own fellowship
that have bowed to the idols while thinking they are worshiping
the Lord. I lift up my eyes unto the new day that has come forth,
and I walk in the light of this day and this hour. The night is
coming rapidly. The horses are already on the way unto the time
period that we live in. The time period of the horses gives knowledge
of the forcefulness of their gait. The breath of air from their
nostrils is furious. Their eyes glare anxiously, and their minds
wonder where they are going. Their riders hurry with anxiety and
anger. They desire to taste of the victory that they shall win.
I will be alerted and stirred to action and real faith, for this
is the hour of the church. God has hidden us, his church, in the
bedchamber and saved us from the wrath of death. Now it is our
time to be revealed before our exit unto the wedding.
Confession
of Faith - #13
I
lift up my voice in the sanctuary, and I do not doubt the expression
that comes to me. I do not doubt the voice in me. God is in me,
Christ in me, the hope of glory. He did not come to live in me
and then cease to speak. He is in me to give me a word in this
due season, the season of reaping. The season of reaping is here.
It has arrived with speed. Among the people, there is a loosening
of the bands of wickedness and the releasing of the captives from
the prison houses. The Lord has lifted the heavy burdens and placed
a spirit of praise and a spirit of power among the people. Doubt
shall lift itself as a fleeting cloud, and grief shall run to
the shelters of its own design. Those who have struggled to live
holy shall appreciate the light afflictions among the people,
and now shall the light of the spirit enlighten their darkness.
The sick shall now be made whole, and holiness shall be desired
in their hearts. I will go forth and declare all the words that
God places in my mouth, for he shall speak plain and without hesitation.
His spirit shall flow today, for he has ordained a great victory
for the people and the congregations.
Confession
of Faith - #14
I
do not worry about those who cause trouble; neither do I worry
about those who despise me and the ministry. It is their problem
and God's problem, not mine. I bring the Lord this burden of rejection
by people, and he will destroy it upon this altar of mercy.
Confession
of Faith - #15
God
has made a way where there was no way. I am safe in this high
tower of safety with the redeemed. The Lord has hidden me in the
tower of his name. The tyrants of the age have sought to destroy
the seed of his purpose, but those who he ordained unto safety
and purpose could not be found by these tyrants of the night.
He knew I would serve him, and he knows all those who will serve
him. I will not worry about those who do not serve him. There
is a seed that will serve him. If they are not his seed, then
they cannot serve him.
Confession
of Faith - #16
The
lonely chamber of preservation is the preparation chamber of royalty.
God has kept me here to preserve me in the salt of his name until
our hour comes. Those who were not chosen unto this final hour
must be destroyed by the tyrants of the day before we come from
our hiding place. The pride of the tyrants will not find us. I
will not be cut off though my room of loneliness seems dark and
the proud doers come near my pillow. Their voices may come near,
but the songs of deliverance shall encompass me about and bring
me peace. The trouble in the chamber of preservation perceived
by my mind shall be the mother of inspiration and songs. I will
receive messages of deliverance. Others will receive songs of
deliverance in this chamber of preservation. The chamber of preservation
is God's tabernacle, and it has a secret. I am hidden in the secret
of the tabernacle; therefore, I will not fear. Soon the sons of
God will be manifested and even the earth will be satisfied. I
am now hidden in purpose. Soon those chosen to lead in manifesting
the Lord shall come together though they may be many miles apart.
Soon the sons and daughters of God will be manifested. Meanwhile,
God is my refuge and my fortress. I am not only upon the rock
of revelation, but I am in the Rock of ages.
Confession
of Faith - #17
I
am complete in Christ, the head of all principality and power.
I prepare to come out of the chamber of preservation, and I do
not fear my entrance unto divine exposure before the harlot system
of the age. I will be revealed, and the mother of the false church
shall speak in my ears concerning my assumed treason. I prepare
and sanctify myself. I will be prayerful and draw nigh to God
in every way. He will preserve me and keep me under the shadow
of his wings. While I am preserved, kingdoms are falling and will
continue to fall, for the Lord must pluck up everything that he
did not plant. I will remain in the hiding place, and I will be
safe. If I walk out, I will be destroyed with those who are not
fit for this royalty. I will remain in the chamber of royalty.
God will preserve me from the giants outside the chamber. I lift
up my slumbering eyelids and behold the magnetic effect of God's
love, which is drawing souls to his body in the chamber of royalty.
I wake up from my dreams of fear and unbelief, for death will
not reign in the chamber of preservation. I allow the reality
of love to govern me and my faith. While I wait on the manifestation
of the church, I will not lose my hope. I grant God to be the
preserver of my hope, and I will not faint.
Confession
of Faith - #18
God
reminded me of his mercy this morning. He could have blotted my
name out of the book of life, but his love prompted mercy to forbear
and bring restraint into my life. I was out of control and had
no desire to refrain from evil doings. The Lord came unto me with
compassion and tender mercies. He acted with patience and loving
kindness toward me. I had fallen beneath the feet of cruel men
and ruthless spirits. The dust of the things of this earth had
become my diet. The sewer of spiritual things had become my drink,
and my base desires had become spiritually savage. God abstained
from judgment while my flesh went out of bounds and ventured beyond
the borders of common sense. With the light of love, he shined
a beacon of grace in my path and kept my feet from the slime of
corruption. I will praise the Lord for his great goodness unto
me today. I will not forget his love and mercy.
Confession
of Faith - #19
There
are showers of blessings for me today instead of lashes from the
muscles of cruelty. There are refreshing words of love for me
today instead of voices of condemnation and fingers of accusation.
I look to the throne before my face today and recognize that this
could have been the executioner from the chambers of eternal damnation.
I live today because God's love prompted forbearance and kindness
toward me. Some found judgment without this mercy. This mercy
has brought me to a place of prayer. Some found judgment in the
alleys of darkness, but I reside in the presence of my Lord. I
rejoice, and I am glad, for the light of love brings clarity to
my mind and causes thanksgiving to flow from my heart.
Confession
of Faith - #20
I
will not fear the voice of circumstances and the consequences
of the rejections by man. God is not influenced by man's desires
and will. He has not planned to give me up to the will of my enemies,
neither has he planned to give me back to the darkness that held
me by the power of my own sins. The payment that he rendered is
sufficient for recompense and restoration. I believe on his word,
and I have confidence in my salvation. He has not given me salvation
and betrayed himself. I am not my own now. I belong to God. He
will not deny himself.
Confession
of Faith - #21
I
have been oppressed by the attitudes and influences of others,
but I lift up my head and my eyes. God will not gratify my foes,
for he is not influenced to please others in judging me. He does
not gratify the wishes of men in his judgment. He forgave all
of my sins. I will grant him my faith in his grace and mercy and
experience my release from all bondage and captivity. He has liberated
me. The Lord has not held me in the prison house of men's politics.
I sense myself rejected by others because I have attempted to
enter into arenas that God has never planned for me. These are
arenas of men pleasers where brothers are slain by brothers, and
the young are poisoned and killed by the will of man. I awaken
from the self-imposed prison in my mind and run down the highway
of true liberation. I am following the Lord. He is leading me
in the path of righteousness. It is a plain path where the will
of enemies does not hinder or abort my labor of love for his name.
I go and follow the Lord and leave my frustrations behind me.
I leave the mysteries of men and their actions at this altar of
prayer and bring along the sacrifice of praise and the faith of
Jesus Christ. Now I behold the clarity of the path before my feet.
Confession
of Faith - #22
God
is furnishing me a table in the wilderness of impossibility. In
the place where many have tempted him and received the meat of
lust and covetousness, he is causing the rock of impossibility
to furnish me with fresh waters and fresh streams. He is giving
me the bread of deliverance instead of the fire of his anger.
He has commanded the clouds of discouragement and opened unto
me the doors of encouragement. He has rained down Rhema for me
to eat and given me the corn of spiritual preservation. I am eating
angel's food. I will be content with this food for angels and
allow its freshness and completeness to fill me instead of my
own desires. God has not left me in the land of lust and pride.
He has cleaned my mouth of the meat of spiritual death and given
me a mouth filled with the fresh word of God.
Confession
of Faith - #23
I
speak a word in due season today, for the word of life is in my
mouth. God is full of compassion. He has forgiven my iniquities.
He did not destroy me when I sinned, but he turned his anger away
from me and did not stir up his wrath. He knows that I am but
flesh; therefore, he has granted me compassion, for he knows that
I am as a wind that passes away and does not come again. I ended
up in a wilderness and a solitary place and came to the deserts
of spiritual debris. God has made all these places to blossom
abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing. He has given these
places the glory of the Lord and his excellency. Now shall people
see the glory of the Lord and the excellency of my God. I am his.
Now when I pass through the waters, he will be with me. When I
pass through the rivers, they shall not overflow me. When I walk
through the fire, I will not be burned, and the flames will not
kindle me. He shall make the enemy's power against me ineffective
and quench his fire of wrath with the water of his word. He is
doing a new thing for me. It is springing forth now. I shall know
it. It is making a way in this wilderness. It is making rivers
in my desert of helplessness. A way is made for me.
Confession
of Faith - #24
My
thanksgiving has been received as a sweet savor of incense. My
praises are inhabited by his presence and received as a place
to enthrone God. The fire of his love has turned my offering into
suitable ashes of exchange, and the wind of beauty has blown my
ashes away. The wind of beauty has manifested itself as a monument
of his faithfulness, and his name has taken on a special meaning
at this altar of praise and prayer. His name shall be synonymous
with love, mercy, and grace unto me. When I think of his name,
I shall think of a great light. The many colors of this light
shall be unto me as the many things that he is. I do not need
to look beyond this one name, for all that he is may be represented
by and equated to his name. His name is holy and good. He is from
everlasting to everlasting and so is his name. As his name is,
so is he. I will sing unto him, and also sing praises unto his
name. I will bless the Lord and also bless his name. I give unto
him the glory due his name. I call upon him and also call upon
his name. He has remembered his covenant forever. He made a covenant
with Abraham. He has remembered me, for I am the seed of Christ
and therefore, the seed of Abraham. Though we are small and few
in number, he will stay the hand of our enemies and reprove the
mighty if they attempt to do us wrong. I lift up my head, and
I am encouraged in him today. God is with me to reprove those
who touch me and do me harm. I lift up my head, for his name is
on me, and I am called by it. I bless his holy name.
Confession
of Faith - #25
Night
is coming fast. I am beholding night fall upon the world as a
dark blanket. Though men say night is not coming and that things
will continue as they are, know of a truth, that night will come
and overtake them as a thief. God's thoughts are much higher than
mine. His ways are much higher than mine. His time is not as my
time; therefore, I will heed this admonition and know that if
Adam had known the power of disobedience, he would not have disobeyed.
I have seen the power of disobedience and the power of obedience.
I choose obedience, and I behold the fruit of my obedience on
an eternal plane.
Hebrews
10:22 - 23
Let
us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having
our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies
washed with pure water. Let
us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
(for he is faithful that promised;)
Ephesians
2:8-9
For
by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Matthew
17:20
And
Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I
say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye
shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place;
and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
