OUR
AGREEMENT WITH GOD
Confession
of Faith - #26
I
will not allow the thief to steal my spiritual wealth. I have
awakened out of sleep. The subtle fury of the oppressor cannot
destroy me. I look to the end of all these things. God has caused
the fury of the oppressor to cease. The oppressor did not rob
me, and God's words were not removed from my mouth. He covered
me in the shadow of his hand and hid me among those planted by
the Lord in righteousness. He has removed the cup of trembling
and placed it in the hand of those who attempt to afflict me.
I have shaken myself and risen from the dust of the dead. Life
flows in me; therefore, I have awakened and loosed myself from
the bands on my neck. Their hands cannot remain on me to subdue
me for their own selfish cause. I have shaken myself with the
voice of praise and thanksgiving. I arise and carry good tidings
that publish peace unto the people. I publish salvation and carry
good tidings of good. God has hidden me in his word and in the
cleft of his hand. The salvation of the Lord has manifested itself
for me. I break forth into joy, for my Lord reigns.
Confession
of Faith - #27
God
is rich in mercy. He has quickened me together with Christ, raised
me up together, and made me sit together in heavenly places in
Christ Jesus. The exceeding riches of his grace are shown to me
by his kindness toward me, for by grace am I saved through faith
and that not of myself. It is the gift of God, not of works. If
it is of works, then I could boast. The Lord justified me by grace.
Now I am an heir according to the hope of eternal life. He has
enclosed me with curtains of grace. I will not open these curtains,
or I will feel the accusations of condemnation. I will remain
veiled by grace, and victory is always certain. Many are condemned
because they have disclosed their hiding place by opening the
curtains of grace to walk after their own righteousness. The heat
of condemnation cannot find me as long as I remain hidden behind
grace. I am concealed, and there is no condemnation as long as
I walk after the Spirit. Outside of grace, my nakedness is uncovered.
I purpose to remain in the secret of grace.
Confession
of Faith - #28
The
enemy has sent authors of uncertainty throughout the world. These
authors are architects of confusion. Unbelief is the birthplace
of confusion. I will not be turned away from the foundation of
faith during this attack upon the minds of the people. I am fully
persuaded that what he promised, he is able to perform. The Lord
will perform what he has promised; therefore, I decide not to
allow the germ of uncertainty to take root in my heart. I am depending
on God. He will not allow me to be ashamed, for I believe on him.
Since the dawn of faith in my heart, he has been faithful. The
sunlight of faith will not lose its sunshine. It will shine brighter
as the darkness becomes greater; therefore, I will not fear.
Confession
of Faith - #29
There
is no sundown, nor sunset for faith. The twilight that I imagine
is not real. It is an illusion of the enemy. I will not fall for
his trick. Faith only has a sunrise. It will continue to shine
forevermore, for it is a fruit of God's Spirit. Follow the light
of faith. It is on course to his faithfulness. Faith is connected
to his faithfulness. The two are one. If I follow the path of
faith, his faithfulness has an open door for me to walk through.
Faith lives in the bosom of his faithfulness, and the arms of
love embrace all that have it. A welcome mat has been placed before
me. Now I enter into the address of certainty and hide myself
from doubt and suspicion. Though the clouds of uncertainty hover
over those without true conviction and certainty, God causes the
sunshine of faith to pass through this ambiguousness. I have faith
in God. I say unto these clouds, "Be removed unto yonder place
of darkness." I do not fear, and I open my mouth and speak to
the clouds. Many see faith as taking a risk. Faith is not a chance
that we are taking. It is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen. I receive a good report by it today
and abound through these things written in my presence by the
authors of confusion. I open my mouth and speak faith, Now will
these lying messages be erased from my life.
Confession
of Faith - #30
The
Lord has not left me alone in this cold, dark world to fight against
foes stronger than me. He has brought me to the kingdom of light
and become my Lord. As my Lord, I am his responsibility. He will
answer my adversary for me and paid all my debts. He has all ability,
and there is no responsibility too great for him. His accountability
is not as man's accountability. My debt is paid in full, and I
am not liable for the payment of sin. He has given an account
for me, disburdened me, and exonerated me. He has cast off the
blame that I wore and cleared me in the high court of heaven.
Now I am released and set free from all restraints. I no longer
dwell in the prison house of sin and bondage. I am not confined
to serve sin. The Lord made me free from the entire obligation
that I was under as a sinner. My penalty has been revoked. I will
release the debt that I owed. Neither Satan, nor his host has
any right to me. His right to me has been revoked. He no longer
has any right to me, for I am not a tenant in his possession.
I was a mortgagee in his clutches. Now I have been released, and
the claim of the devil is no longer valid. I am liberated. I am
discharged from the former restraint and no longer confined, for
Jesus ransomed me from the bondage house. The power of his blood
forced my release by the remission of sins. I will not be deprived
of liberty any longer, for I am discharged from the debts that
I owed.
Confession
of Faith - #31
I
am delivered; therefore, I disengage myself from condemnation
and regret. I purpose not to be a part of the enemy's franchise
through the avenue of guilt. The enemy has set up a charter and
kept many who have been freed from his kingdom through their ignorance.
I will go and break his monopoly by the words that are in my mouth
and the understanding granted me by the truth. The enemy has controlled
God's people long enough. The Lord has freed me by the truth.
I am determined to go and preach the truth, so that others may
escape the bondage of ignorance. God desires to hear the sounds
of praise. He desires to see his people rejoice in the liberty
of their salvation. He has pardoned them and set redemption in
their midst. Redemption has loosed all and made them free from
all penalties. The punishment that I deserved is in remission.
I had an engagement with death, but God has absolved death for
me and released me from my engagement through the remission of
sins.
Confession
of Faith - #32
The
Lord has not come to condemn me. I believe on him; therefore,
I am not condemned. I purpose to go and loose the souls that are
held in the spiritual penitentiaries. I will go and speak the
words that God has placed in my heart. The words in my heart shall
unload the heavy burdens borne by many as they are discharged
from carrying the baggage of condemnation. Many are in the business
of carrying heavy loads. The words in my mouth shall free them
of this burdensome commerce. The business of condemnation is an
unwanted custom. I am determined to go and discharge God's people
from this business. I will go and say, "Your debts are Paid
in Full. Be not a slave to ignorance and sin. No one shall lay
any claim or demand on the Lord's people." God has made them
free. He holds the receipt marked, "Paid in Full." They
are discharged, and there is no creditor that they owe anything.
I will go and preach the truth concerning their liberty in Christ
Jesus.
Confession
of Faith - #33
The
light of love has marked a path for my feet. It is a lamp along
the treacherous paths of a world lying in gross darkness. Through
dangerous and deceitful spirits, this light has laid out a clear
way and kept darkness away from my heart and mind. As a plague,
darkness has covered the whole earth. This is a devouring darkness.
It has been sent forth to darken the hearts of many. I know the
Lord. I now glorify him as God, and I am thankful. His tender
mercies have followed me. He did not hide his face from me when
I was in trouble. He heard my cry unto him and turned his lovingkindness
toward me when my enemies fired arrows poisoned with reproach
and shame. Dishonor was in the design of shame that was forged
against me. When my comforters left me at the table of alienation
and enemies in friends' clothing approached my face, God sent
mighty justification as meat and deliverance as drink. He caused
the table of my enemies to become a snare unto them. The things
that they planned for their own welfare became their traps. He
darkened their eyes so that they could not see and made their
sides shake. His wrathful anger has taken hold of them, and salvation
has set me upon high. I will praise the Lord with a song and magnify
him with thanksgiving. This is better than all the vain testimonies
of the self-righteous. I will be poor in spirit and contrite in
heart. He has heard me and held my hand as darkness growled and
roared in vain. As a father walking with a child, he has led me
through deceptive loneliness and treasonous beasts. Now as a husband
walking with his new bride, he is comforting me in the strong
arms of complete confidence and absolute faithfulness. With the
silver cord of love, he has bound himself to me. This silver cord
will not be loosed, for his commitment to me is eternal. He has
given me the sure mercies of David and called me blessed.
Confession
of Faith - #34
These
words are lights in my heart. I arise and shine. He has given
me light. These words have exploded in the face of obscure intents
and desires. The true light is shining in me. The darkness cannot
comprehend this light that has lightened my eyes and heart. The
darkness has no power to seize and possess the true light; therefore,
I walk while I have the light, and darkness will not come upon
me. God commanded the light to shine out of darkness. He has shined
in my heart to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of
God in the face of Jesus Christ. There is no other face where
I can behold the light of the knowledge of his glory. I look to
Jesus, the finisher of my faith, and I see his glory. He is a
radiant light, the treasure in earthen vessels. I will not be
afraid. The excellency of the power of God rests upon me. It works
in me mightily. Though trouble comes on every side, I will not
be distressed. Though perplexity comes as a ball of confusion,
I will not be discouraged. Though persecution unfolds as an exterminating
tyrant, I will be assured that I am not forsaken. Though I am
cast down, I will be broken on him, the rock of my salvation,
for he will not allow me to be destroyed. His life, which is my
light, will be manifest in my body in every trial, for I am delivered
unto death for his sake. Through all these things, his life is
made manifest in my mortal flesh. Death works in me, but life
works exceedingly more. I believe this. Now as I have believed,
I rise up and speak. I am not looking at the things which are
seen. I am looking at the things which are not seen. The things
which are seen are temporal. The things which are not seen are
eternal. I open my mouth, and I speak of things out of sight.
Confession
of Faith - #35
I
lift up my voice and share the riches of this great grace. God
has made me rich during this famine of the hearing of the words
of God. He sustains natural life; therefore, he will continue
to sustain me with his words. There is a whirlwind of a famine
of the hearing of his words. A great dryness is consuming the
world. The long, dry season will not end for the world and those
who know not his voice. There is an abundance of rain upon those
whose ears and eyes he has opened. I will blossom during this
time of rain. I will eat of his goodness and store up the fruitfulness
of his word. The young need the freshness of the living word.
They cannot escape the predators without the strength of a word
that is alive. I will go and stand between the predators and the
young. I will spoil the appetites of these devourers with the
same words that he sends forth from his mouth. He is providing
living nourishment for his people. They will leap and outrun the
enemy when they are chased. They will rise up with the strength
of their God when they are pursued. I purpose to gather the young
unto myself and carry them with the strength of experience. Many
of the young are devoured because few are carried by the strong.
The sick and the weak have carried many. The sick and the weak
live in dry places and constantly abide in the mud of the letter,
which slowly kills them. I determine to go and drive the enemy
from the presence of the young. I will fight for the young and
the unborn.
Confession
of Faith - #36
A
new strength has been given. A consuming fire is raging within
me. I elect to sound the trumpet of strength and announce the
fire of protection. The fire within God's body will protect it.
It will keep back unholiness and ungodliness. I rely on the fire
within me. The Lord has baptized me with the Holy Ghost and with
fire. I must come and drink more during this time of consuming
fire. Once a day is not enough. Twice a day is not enough. I will
draw back from the drink offered by the spirit of error, and I
will have an increased desire to drink more from the spirit of
truth. Many are giving birth to weak babies who do not play before
God. They mourn and are fearful. They worry and do not dance.
They grieve and do not express any joy. I will feed them the living
word, and they will be strengthened for the journey. The Lord
is sending fresh showers of the living word. I determine to open
my mouth so that the fountainhead of life may be poured upon the
dry and the thirsty. They shall run and not be weary. They shall
walk and not faint. I will speak the living word.
Confession
of Faith - #37
God's
pledge to me is not the words of a man. He has proposed a covenant
of faithfulness. I can be secure in his promises. They are not
proposals of what he is recommending. They are his plans to bless
me. These plans include his refusal of the enemy's accusations
against me. He has accused me before the Lord, and the Lord has
directed him to the Lamb's sacrifice and righteousness. The blessing
of Abraham is upon me, and the curse of God is upon those who
curse me. I will not categorize these things. I determine not
to make mental statistics of the events. I simply leave them at
this altar of devotion, and God will send angels to renounce these
subtle wiles against me. Ministering spirits have been sent to
drive back the enemy. I have not pawned my faith and deposited
it into the hands of merchants using false balances. I have offered
my faith to the Living God. I have believed his promises. I have
believed God. Now my faith is counted as righteousness; my effectual,
fervent prayers have availed much, and grace has caused me to
pray in the Holy Ghost.
Confession
of Faith - #38
I
do not fear the evil one. Whether he comes as a serpent, a dog,
a bear, or some other strange creature, is not important to God.
The Lord has all power, and he has already conquered all of these
foes. All things are under his feet; therefore, all these things
are under my feet because I am baptized into him and have put
Christ on. I will not come out of the truth, which is my hiding
place. He is the truth, my hiding place, and he will preserve
me from trouble and subtlety. He will compass me about with songs
of deliverance and instruct me. He will teach me the right way
to journey, and he will continually guide me. I trust his eyes
and not my own. I lean not to my own understanding, neither do
I lean to the understanding of false religion lest I place myself
in the path of my enemies. I continue to trust in the Lord, and
his mercy shall compass me about. He is a continual refuge in
times of trouble. He will never forsake those who place their
trust in him. He knew of the trouble that would come before it
came. He knew the strategy of trouble before it came. He sent
mercy to lift me up out of the net of its wiles. I will now show
forth praise, for he has delivered me by the hand of salvation.
By his own hand, he has hidden me in his pavilion. In the secret
of his tabernacle, he has hidden me and set me upon a rock. My
head is now lifted above my enemies round about me; therefore,
I offer in his tabernacle the sacrifices of joy. I sing praises
unto the Lord, my God.
Confession
of Faith - #39
The
plight of the enemy has been aborted. The manifold wisdom of God
is more than enough for the case of my enemy. He has attempted
to create a case against me by very subtle tactics. Whoever is
against me, is against God. Whoever conspires against me, conspires
against the Lord, for he has called me according to his own purpose.
He will break the back of this hindering situation. I will not
be distracted by this plight as it is being aborted. The slime
of its abortion will be ugly and filthy. I will not be entangled
by engaging in the war. God has taken the dilemma unto himself.
I am observing the revelation of the knowledge of God. The light
that has shined in my heart and mind is to grant me understanding
of the predicament, not to worry me or create anxiety and fear.
I look through the light of revelation again and see the end of
this condition. I behold his right hand that has been swung against
the vessels involved. I behold their state of defeat and bewilderment.
God will teach them not to touch or conspire against those anointed
of God.
Confession
of Faith - #40
I
am built upon holy faith that is supported by God's faithfulness.
I am assured of his faithfulness, and I do not mortgage my faith.
I will not allow the spirit of condemnation to take out a lien
on my faith. I hold fast to the title deed that is freely given
to me, and I will not become another victim of crafty serpents
sent among God's people. These spirits go to and fro seeking whom
they may devour. I hold fast the profession of my faith without
wavering, for he is faithful. He promised; therefore, I rise up
and offer praise and thanksgiving. I will allow the fruit of my
lips to speak with the voice of the second man Adam, not with
the voice of one overcome by affections for the things of the
flesh. I hear the voice of the Spirit. He has sent me an invitation
to behold the abortion of the enemy's plight. His plans to bless
me will not be retracted. His plans to take vengeance on my enemies
are being executed while I speak.
Confession
of Faith - #41
I
give thanks for the Lord's goodness unto me. He has allowed me
to be a part of his plan. I did not ask to be a part of this kingdom.
I was in another kingdom, a kingdom of darkness. I was without
God in the world. I was a stranger to this blessedness that I
have now. He planned this for me before the foundation of the
world. Before there was a world, he included me in his plan. I
am thankful, and I rejoice. The Lord has brought me into the fellowship
of saints who have a common faith. This thread of faith runs throughout
his kingdom. He has given me this faith; therefore, I may now
please him. The faith that I have is the faith of Jesus Christ.
On the strength of his faith, I rise up, and possess the fullness
of my inheritance. I am an heir to many blessings. His divine
power has already granted me all things that pertain unto life
and godliness. I am assured that what his power has granted cannot
be removed by my enemy. All the things that he bought in redeeming
me are available to me. I cease living as a stranger to the covenants
of promise, and I live as an heir to the unsearchable riches of
Christ. He has given me the exceeding greatness of his power.
In me, God has manifested the same power that was wrought in Christ.
I behold the riches of the glory of his inheritance in me, a saint
of God. He has redeemed me; therefore, he has not thrust me into
the hands of the enemy.
Confession
of Faith - #42
God
has brought unto me the great, glorious gospel of Christ. It is
the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes. In
this great, glorious gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed
from faith to faith. I rise up, and live by faith. The life of
faith is a powerful life. The most powerful and richest king lives
in me. Jesus is that King. He is my treasure. I am a vessel of
the earth, and the excellency of his power dwells and works in
me mightily. He has commanded his light to shine brighter than
ever before. His light has shined in my heart and given me the
light of the knowledge of the glory of God. I cease my acts as
a stranger, and I awaken unto the reality of who I am in Christ.
I am a new creature. Old things have passed away, and all things
are new. All things are of God. He has reconciled me to himself
by Jesus Christ. The ministry of reconciliation is in me. I forsake
this pauper mentality, and I adorn myself with the mentality of
an ambassador. He has committed unto me the word of reconciliation.
I rise up from my altar of need, and I go declare unto others,
"Be reconciled unto God."
Confession
of Faith - #43
The
Light of the world has not been affected by the gross darkness
of the hour. He is not concerned about the strategies of the darkness.
He knows the end of all things. I draw nearer to him, and I will
lose my concern for the outcome of the things that oppose me.
Though I war with them, I learn to count all these things defeated.
He wasted the author of this war against me at Calvary. He spoiled
the principalities and powers of darkness. He will not waste me,
neither will he waste my prosperity and my gain. I allow the liberality
of my giving to increase, and the fruitfulness of my return shall
greatly increase. I cease considering what I have left and focus
on the faith within me, for by faith I will draw from his inexhaustible
supply. I look to his abundant supply and thrust a liberal measure
into the storehouse of God. I will draw out a blessing that I
will not be able to contain. God has brought his body to the vast
wealth of the unjust. The unjust have laid it up for the just.
I must end my erroneous beliefs concerning money. The Lord wishes
above all things that I may prosper and be in health even as my
soul prospers. He is bringing to pass the promises of the word
in my life. I will now wholly reap the fruit of his giving unto
me. I cannot exhaust what is in his supply. Heaven has been opened.
I now destroy all doubt and unbelief and determine greater measures
for the blessings that are over taking me.
Confession
of Faith - #44
Many
of God's people live as though there is desolation in his kingdom.
The kingdom of God is not a barren kingdom. I am not required
to live as a pauper to prove my humility. The enemy, ignorance,
has devoured many and kept them from his inconsumable supply.
Ignorance has stolen the opportunity to be blessed from many and
required songs of joy from them. Ignorance is a strange land for
the redeemed. I will go and show them the land of knowledge. Their
oppressors will not howl in the land of knowledge where faith
rules in the heart. I know of a truth that he has brought his
people into straight places where he is giving them the treasures
of darkness and hidden riches of secret places so that they may
know that he, the Lord, is the God of their salvation. They will
not become a reproach to their neighbors. They will not become
a scorn and derision to the people round about them. His tender
mercies are resisting the thieves of the hour. His tender mercies
are lifting them from the low places in the earth and making them
known in the sight of those who know not God. While many are being
made desolate and hearts are failing because of fear, he has granted
grace for a short space. They will drink from the fresh waters
of healing and prosperity while others prepare to eat and drink
from wormwood and gall. I will run and tell of his blessings,
which are in Christ Jesus. I do not squander my faith on worry
and unbelief. I do not spend my energies on the enemy's promises
to waste my blessings. I wear his robe of many colors that was
given to me in baptism, and I stand before the throne of grace
as a child favored of the Lord. I lift my head from these heaps
of waste and voices of fear. Though I hear these significant voices
and sounds of wars and commotions, I am full of faith and abound
in his goodness. He is the Holy One of Israel and has come and
established me. He has made me a part of a joyful generation.
He has given me vines that are not dried up; therefore, I have
fig trees that do not droop, and my pomegranate trees will not
wither. Also my palm trees will not shrink.
Confession
of Faith - #45
The
Lord's blood is speaking in the heavens and in the earth. I hear
the talking blood today, and I am attentive to its voice. This
voice is shaking the foundation of confusion and every evil thing
in the earth. The word of the blood discloses the removal of sins.
The word of the blood announces an entrance into a kingdom that
cannot be moved. God has covered a highway of access with this
precious blood and provided grace to enable me to serve him acceptably
with reverence and godly fear. I enter into the throne room and
walk unto his presence of consuming fire. I offer reverence unto
the Father of spirits, and I allow his glorious fire to purge
out all the undesirable things within me. The fire of his presence
is not for my destruction. It will cleanse me and consume the
undesirable things. Wisdom and strength are given here at the
throne. Counsel and understanding are placed upon my head. I will
leave here with a renewed spirit of understanding. The secret
things of God are not deciphered by the mind of man. The mysterious
things of the hour are not understood by attending the finest
schools. God has given me the spirit of wisdom and of revelation
in the knowledge of him. The eyes of my understanding are enlightened.
The truth is within me, and his blood has made me acceptable in
his presence. His words are not symbols for anything. The words
within me are spirit and they are life. I have not come to a god
of rituals. I pray in the Holy Ghost, and my words will be mighty
around the throne of grace.
Confession
of Faith - #46
The
spiritual breath of God has already come upon me. I am a creation
that has never existed before. The Lord created me to satisfy
his purpose. His purpose has granted blessings for me and my seed.
In choosing me, he has sought a godly seed. The godly seed that
I have inherited is his. I walk in his ways and keep his commandments,
statutes, and judgments. My seed shall live and multiply. He has
blessed me, and I will possess the places where my feet walk.
In his presence, the heavens are opened unto me. Though the words
spoken are not profound things, the effect of the words spoken
in my ears shall produce their fruit in my life. The words that
have been placed in me are not hidden from me. They are not far
away. They are not in heaven. They are not beyond the sea. The
words are nigh me. They are in my mouth and in my heart, so that
I may do his commandments. I arise from this fellowship with a
new hope and a new expression of holy boldness. The spiritual
ability of the Father speaks and works in me.
Confession
of Faith - #47
Many
of God's people are held captive before the accuser of the brethren.
Many are ignorantly held in courts of the enemy where spirits
interrogate them. Many spend their entire spiritual life before
these subtle spirits of condemnation and fear. I will go and declare
to them that the Lord has already been interrogated for them.
He was oppressed and afflicted for me. When he was accused, he
did not open his mouth. He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter
and as a sheep before her shearers was dumb and did not open his
mouth. He kept silent when he was accused. Now I may be vocal
and confess my freedom from condemnation and interrogation. I
refuse to be interrogated by these spirits, for I am not under
house arrest. I am free because he was taken for my transgressions
and stricken. We are a generation of righteous seed. I will now
declare his generation. The people are being scattered by condemnation.
I purpose to gather the people around his throne with words of
justification and grace. Deceitful spirits, who are driving them
into the darkness of unbelief, are humiliating them daily. They
must come from the shadows of condemnation and fear, and accept
the light of justification. They will walk in the light of justification.
Confession
of Faith - #48
God
has paid for me to stand before a throne of grace, not for me
to stand before deceitful spirits of condemnation. These spirits
have used the minds of the people as dumping grounds for mounds
of condemnation. His people come to him for help, and many have
their minds filled with thoughts of rejection. I determine to
empty these dumpsites and sow the powerful word of justification.
The Lord was dumb with silence and held his peace. Now I fill
my heart and mind with the true word of the Lord. He was mocked
and condemned for us. They called him an evildoer. He faced all
the hatred of the enemy. I stand before the throne of grace. A
merciful and faithful high priest is before me. We have no need
to fear condemnation before him. He fell into the hands of a wicked
high priest that they may stand before the righteous high priest.
He was charged for me, so I do not listen to the charges against
me. There is no one that will condemn me if God has justified
me. These accusing voices that I hear when I come for answers
are not from my justifier. The accuser has closed the mouths of
his people with his words of doubt and condemnation. I determine
to go and expose this subtle enemy. His accusing voice is as a
big hand over the mouths of many. I smite his voice and his hand
with this knowledge.
Confession
of Faith - #49
God's
disciples did not understand why he allowed so many things to
happen to him in the flesh. They did not realize that he was justifying
them and clearing them of all the charges that they would face
then and forever. I do not hide in the shadows of ignorance. I
come to the light of his slaughter where precious blood was paid
for me. He knew the subtle devices against man. Man was dead in
trespasses and sins and cut off from the tree of life. He came
and was cut off from the land of the living so that man could
become a new creature and a new generation with a new name to
be remembered forever. His accusers could not do away with him,
and they cannot do away with his people. The power of the resurrection
is within them. I will go and revive them with the word of the
Lord. The power of the resurrection is not effective in them because
they have been silenced by loud voices of condemnation in their
ears. I will go and sound the loud voice of love and grace in
their ears. I will go and prophesy to them, and they will hear
again. I will go and prophesy to them, and they shall speak confidence
instead of fear.
Confession
of Faith - #50
God
has sent a baptism of love. Love shall remove the muzzles of silence
from the mouths of his people and give them open mouths of great
confessions. In the face of false accusers, grace shall speak
in his people, and they shall overcome by his faith. I will go
and declare the power of what he suffered for them when he was
tried. When this light explodes in their hearts, their constant
denials of faith in him shall end. I will go and bear witness
of his successful defense for them. I will go and bear witness
of this great light of freedom. They must learn to focus on his
trial when they are tried and not allow the enemy to draw them
before the judgment seat of the accuser. If I confess my sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive me and to cleanse me of all
unrighteousness. If he has forgiven me, then no one will lay any
charge to me. I will go and bear witness of the freedom won for
us from hindering interrogators.
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.
