SCRIPTURAL VERIFICATION

 

The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:8-10)

 

 

 

OUR AGREEMENTS WITH GOD

Confession of Faith - #51

 

There is no value I can place on this fellowship with the Lord. I have made a decision about this fellow; therefore, by the grace of God, I know that I will not sell out. To me, the Lord is worth more than anything in this world or the world to come. There is no one or anything that I would trade the Lord for. There are some people that are worth my life to me. I have never equated betraying the Lord with selling my soul. However, I know that there is an auction for my soul. I will not place my soul on the market. Jesus was sold for thirty pieces of silver. By grace, I will not sell him for anything. There is a constant plot circulating in the spirit world to entice people to betray the Lord. I must establish a value for my soul if I am going to be saved. I am not advantaged anything if I lose my soul. I hear the word of the Lord, and my soul shall live.

God has made an everlasting covenant with me. I have been given the sure mercies of David. Many break their covenant with God every day and think that they will be saved. I have read that covenant breakers are worthy of death. (Romans 1:27-32)

Perilous times are here. Truce breaking is rampant. I must keep my covenant with the Lord. If I break my covenant with God, I have sold him for dung. I will not place the King of kings on sale. Many are bankrupt in their faith and are placing the most precious things in their lives on spiritual bankruptcy sales. I will not attend these sales, for these people have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. I turn away from them, for they do not love the Lord. They have become his enemy.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #52

 

I will go and declare the glory of God's kingdom. All his paths are mercy and truth unto those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. He pardoned my great sins and rescued me from the clutches of darkness. I was a slave to sin. Now I must be a slave to righteousness if I am going to remain free. My soul dwells at ease, and my seed is inheriting the good things in the earth. His secret is with me, and he has shown me his covenant. He continually plucks my feet out of the net of trickery, and his eyes are continually upon me. He has made me the apple of his eye and sworn faithfulness and everlasting peace toward me. He bought me with the most expensive substance in existence. I will not bargain with another using the Lord as a trade.

The devil shall deceive the whole world. I will not buy the lie that says I cannot lose my salvation, for God said unto me, "That you can sell your soul." All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. Whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. (1 John 5:17-18)

I determine to keep myself from sin and wickedness. The whole world lies in wickedness, and there is temptation everywhere. Idolatry is raging. I will keep myself from idols. Adam sold us under sin; therefore, I had a covenant with death. Jesus was sold that he might buy us back from the habitation of the grave. I have not found a bargain worth his lovingkindness and tender mercies; therefore, I will safeguard my salvation. I will safeguard my soul. I will not be beguiled by the merchants offering beautiful, worthless commodity and empty, enticing pleasures for my priceless soul. I have considered the Lord as my currency. There is nothing that I will spend him for.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #53

 

I was a slave to sin. My old master, the devil, has not given up his pursuit to bring me back into bondage. His quest to capture me is consistent. I will not fear, for Jesus is my protection. He has made provisions for me. I am freely given all things that pertain unto life and godliness. Grace and peace are multiplied to me. His grace is more than enough. His peace passes all understanding. It will keep me when understanding has reached its limitations. He will not betray me, neither will he leave me. He is not a covenant breaker. He is a covenant keeper. There is nothing in the enemy's kingdom that he would hand me over for. He does not sell out. He is faithful. His life was not too much for him to spend for me. I am his. No one has a price more than what he has paid for me. If there was a price greater, he would not sell me because he is love. He bought me to save me and give me eternal life. I recognize how much I am worth to God. Now I have an established value of myself. Now that I know how much I am worth, there is no reason to sell myself for something of a lesser value.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #54

 

I am assured that God is here to protect me from this cruel master in pursuit of me. He is my Master and my Father. He guards me. A host of angels guards me. The kingdom that I reside in is a kingdom of light. The light of love is greater than all the things of the darkness. The king in pursuit is no match for the Lord. I am secure as long as I reside in him. The pursuing king and his fallen angels are constantly attempting to seduce me and lure me out of the light. Their enticements have no effect on me as long as I am not controlled by my own lusts. The enemy entices me, but I can only be drawn away by my own lusts. I acknowledge my own lusts and pride then I will ask for forgiveness and renounce them. God will cleanse me of these things that germinate and bring forth sin. I must turn off the generator of sin, which is lust. If I leave it on, it will bring forth sin.

The Lord has shed his love abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost. I respect love inside of me, and now I am insulated from the enticements of the enemy. I have a mighty defense in love. Love for God will safeguard my heart and mind. I am never endangered in love. Nothing evil has a passport into love's domain. No tickets or licenses are issued to travel love's highway. Only love and love's inhabitants travel here. I am protected divinely and granted many benefits; therefore, I will not exit this holy place and take the ramp of lust and sin. It leads to death.

I behold my heavenly companions. They are charged to escort and protect me. I greatly appreciate this convoy of heavenly chaperons. I am mindful of them. They are ministering spirits sent forth to minister to the Lord's heirs of salvation. I cherish the provisions of love. I hold these things dear to my heart, and I esteem them high on my list of gratitude. Many fall away because they do not reverence the Lord, the love of God, inside of them. He will not suffer me to be tempted above that I am able but will, with every temptation, make a way of escape so that I may be able to bear it. These things are common to me as a man, but God is faithful. I have no other god or gods before the Lord. If I cherish him, I will never be satisfied attempting to love other gods. I must relinquish and desert all other gods. He is the only God. God knows no other. If the Lord does not know any other gods, then there is no way that anyone can know other gods.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #55

 

By grace, I will keep the Lord's words, and they will protect me. His words will shield me from the exposure of idolatry and evil. The words of my heavenly Father are sure. They are full of light. The keeping of his words hold back the darkness. I will keep them and restrict the competition of the devil. His words preserve me. He has exalted his word above his name. His name is a strong tower. I have run to it, and I am safe. His word is covering me and protecting me. He has caused his word to become walls for me. It is a burning fire to protect me from the cold love of the hour. It has stretched forth its strong arms and protected me from the assault of temptation. It has become the light to shield me from being arrested by the darkness.

God is my parent. I realize that he is faithful to perform his duties and responsibilities to me as my parent. I will not feel unwanted when he exercises his authority over me. Many of his children are wandering in the chambers of bondage because they resent his authority. He is protecting me, but he is also educating me and maintaining my relationship with him. I will allow him, my parent, to teach me about unfeigned love. He has not come to consult with me. He has come to teach me. I accept the teachings of love, and I will regard the walls of his commandments as beautiful structures of protection given by my God and his government. These commandments are beautiful. They are not grievous. I climb to the heights of obedience unto them and behold their wisdom and their beauty. The wisdom and the beauty of these walls cannot be viewed from platforms of irreverence and disobedience. I worship and praise on the walls of obedience. The blessings are appreciated and understood from there.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #56

 

The sins of the world could not be taken away by sinful man. The Lord came as the man Christ Jesus and took them away. As the Lamb of God, he entered into the world to offer himself in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. Though men may argue about the identity of the Messiah, their arguments do not affect the reality of who he is. He is the Savior of the world, and the only sacrifice that could take away sins has been offered. He is both Lord and Christ. He is the King of Israel. He has always been God. He prepared a body and called it the Son of God, the Lamb, for the whole world. He was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself.

I will allow great joy to consume me. He has revealed himself unto me. The King of the entire earth has come to live inside of me. I rejoice. I am living in the greatest time of all. I will be alerted to every opportunity to declare the truth, for it dwells in me. The revelation of the King has been given to me. He will speak in me; therefore, I am not afraid. It will be given me in the very hour that I am to speak. God is the teacher. He lives inside of me. I come and follow him. To Jesus, the Lord, our God, belong mercies and forgiveness. I need understanding and wisdom. This day, the Lord has touched my eyes and my ears that I might understand the scriptures and his ways. I will speak not out of my own self, but I will allow the Lord to speak in me.

I remember that nothing is impossible for the Lord; therefore, I will not allow the things that I do not understand to hinder me in following God. There will be many questions, but he has all the answers. I trust him, and I will not be afraid of failure. He has forgiven all my sins. The peace that has come through forgiveness shall speak through me, and my words shall command silence from the adversaries. The words that he gives shall turn questions into open doors. They shall turn mysteries into windows of opportunity. He has changed my heart. I now believe with all of my heart the things that are written concerning the Lord.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #57

 

God's hand is not slack, and his word is not slow, neither is it weak. He is faithful. He has made promises to me. Because his word has gone out of his mouth, it will not return to him before it has performed what he sent it to do. His words are creative and powerful. They are not empty and unproductive. His words are fertile and full of plenty. I will not look to the dry ground of my circumstances and unnecessary qualifying factors, but I will look to his righteousness. The Lord has imputed righteousness unto me. The effectual, fervent prayers that I offer avail much. I will lift up my legs of confidence and abound unto the fruitfulness of his performance by thanksgiving. I open up my heart and allow thanksgiving to be expressed. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The baptism of the Holy Ghost has brought righteousness inside of me. Peace and joy reside inside with righteousness. These three constitute a mighty kingdom within, for the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but it is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #58

 

I rejoice greatly. The King of the kingdom lives inside of me. Where the word of a king is, there is power. His word is quick and powerful. It is sharper than any two-edged sword. He has set his word between my thoughts and intents. His words and his commandments are faithful. I choose according to the light of his word and not according to the mental assumptions gathered by my mind and my feelings. He has placed his word in my heart. A new heart has been given to me. The word of the Lord is nigh me even in my heart and my mouth. My tongue has his testimonies. The testimonies in my tongue are righteous and very faithful. I will not be afraid to release them with the confidence and might of a valiant warrior. God's words are faithful and true. They will not fail. He is faithful. What he has promised will be performed. It is impossible for him to lie; therefore, I stand on this dry ground of infertility and wait on the harvest of truth's hand. He will give me a crop of souls and prosperity out of the impotence that I now see.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #59

 

God is true. He is loyal. He is not a man that he should lie. He is not the son of man that he should repent. He has said, and he will do it. He has spoken, and he will make it good. He is the faithful God. He keeps his covenant and mercy with them that love him and keeps his commandments. He has loved me and made promises to me. The hand of the enemy shall not close up on me. He will bring me out of all the effects of the enemy's cold, dry hand. He has sent his doctrine into my life. It is dropping as the rain. The speech that he has sent forth through me shall vaporize as the dew. I will speak his word while I stand on this dry ground, and I shall create the steam and the fertility that is absent from these circumstances.

The Father, who dwells inside of me, is creating all that is needed for a successful harvest out of a dry situation. Jesus is a God of truth. I will now believe his promises. He has not made covenants and not been true to them. The covenants of the Lord will be faithfully executed without fail. No one will spoil his allegiance to me. His loyalty has not been wrecked by the condemnation of the devil. His duty has not been perverted because of your failures.

I can depend on him when I am totally without hope and strength. I rely on the Lord. I have turned from my sins and regarded him faithful. I now behold the power of his faithfulness and truth in my life. He will not take his lovingkindness from me, and his faithfulness will not fail. His covenant will he not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of his lips. I am Christ's seed. By his holiness, he has sworn. The seed of Christ shall endure forever. He has established this throne of grace forever. I now stand erect in my heart, and I believe the words of the Faithful Witness in my ears. God is faithful.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #60

 

I have strong arms to depend on. The Lord's arms are long and strong. The long arms of longsuffering have been extended to me. The same lovingkindness that David knew has been bestowed upon me. The same unfailing faithfulness is mine also. The spoken word that David heard has not ceased. I am hearing the voice of David's God. David wrote of God's everlasting mercy. He spoke of his truth that would endure to my generation. He sent the truth as a rod out of the stem of Jesse and a Branch that grew out of his roots. Though the rod of his mouth smites the earth, it smites the troubled waters for me today. I will be confident in the favor that has come to me because of the Lord's name. The faithfulness and truth of his word should secure my faith. It is impossible for him to lie; therefore, his promises are never to be doubted. He has promised that he would never leave me. My adversaries cannot consume me because I have his mercies, and his compassions do not fail. They are new every morning, and great is his faithfulness. The Lord is serving me new compassions. I hope in him, for he is my portion. I taste and see that he is good. I have sought him, and now his goodness shall doubly reward me.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #61

 

The word of the Lord stands sure and immovable. God's words shall not pass away. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but his words shall remain. I trust in that which will last forever. I will not allow temptation to persuade me to doubt his faithfulness. He will not suffer me to be tempted above that I am able but will with the temptation, also, make a way to escape so that I may be able to bear it. The revolving door of temptation has caused many to be preoccupied as wanderers because they have not taken the exit to escape. Temptation, oftentimes, travels in a circular path. I pledge not to travel around and around after its enticement. I put my hands to the plow, and press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God. In Christ Jesus, the God of peace will sanctify me wholly and preserve me blameless unto his coming.

I rest in the Lord's peace. I am assured that he has called me, and he will preserve me. He is faithful. He is stablishing me and keeping me from all evil. By grace, I will always pray, "Lead me not into temptation, and deliver me from evil." He will keep me from the evil one and his evil plots. His duty and obligation to me is real. I am born under the government of God and into an everlasting kingdom. God has vowed faithfulness to those born of incorruptible seed by the word of God. I am not an alien. I am a citizen of his kingdom. His kingdom has everlasting peace. The Prince of Peace won my peace. He carried the key of the house of David and opened unto me David's sure mercies.

The kingdom of God has no end. The owner of the key, also, has the keys of hell and of death. He is true and holy. He opens doors, and no man shuts them. He shut doors and no man opens them. He has set before me an open door, and no man can shut it. Though the adversaries stand outside the door and I have a little strength, know of a truth, that grace is given so that I may keep his word and not deny his name. I will not be faithless but believing. I purpose not to stagger at his promises through the fog of unbelief, but I will be strong in faith and give all glory unto him. God is faithful; therefore, I will be fully persuaded that what he has promised, he will perform. He is not a traitor. There is no treason in his government. Its peace has no end. Peace is ordered for me; therefore, I now totally commit my way to him.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #62

 

God has set his love upon me. He made an oath and swore unto the Jewish fathers concerning themselves and their seed. I must cease wrestling in my mind concerning his nature and his faithfulness. He is a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to himself. He was made manifested in the flesh and made like unto brethren that he might make reconciliation for the sins of the people. He came in flesh and experienced all that needed to be experienced. He has suffered being tempted while walking in flesh. Now he is more than able to succor those that are tempted.

God knows how I feel. He is here to help me. The aid that he supplies comes from a great understanding of my need and my feelings. He knows what it is like to walk in human flesh. He took on flesh like the children. His flesh was the Lamb. He was the Lion in the Lamb who shook earth and hell with his roar of victory. Now he is roaring for me. I will not fear. He has overcome the world, the devil, and the flesh. I am relieved today. The Lord understands what is going on inside of me. He is the Friend who sticks closer than any brother. I am supported divinely in every trial. I rejoice, and I am glad. The greatest hope is set before me. I am comforted in the fact that it is impossible for him to lie. He is the hope of glory, Christ in me. He has sworn that I will inherit the promises. I will not be slothful, but I will be patient and full of faith. God cannot lie. It is impossible for him.

I am a part of the multiplication promised. He has already declared, "Surely blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying, I will multiply thee." After Abraham had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. He did not stagger at God's promises through unbelief. He was strong in faith, giving glory unto him. He has removed the stumbling blocks in my path. I press through this fog with strong faith as I give glory unto him. I open my mouth, and clear this fog with a strong profession of faith that does not waver. He promised, and he is faithful.

I determine not to worry about the devil. He is no match for my hope of glory, Christ in me. His hostility is not significant to him. I am not endangered because he has become belligerent. I will not fear. He will end his aggression against me. His assault against me has no effect against God's promises. I will not be distracted by his war strategies. I remain motivated by the Lord's promises. He will not recall his promises to me. I am Christ's seed; therefore, Abraham is my father. The faith of Abraham is in me. I will not adulterate the precious faith within, but I focus my faith on his faithfulness, and I will not be indicted for trusting God.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #63

 

I determine not to allow the place of great blessings to become a place to fall; therefore, I will be thankful. I know who God is. I will let there be great joy in my soul, for my eyes are not lifted up to behold a false god today. Some have corrupted themselves and likened the Lord to the graven images of their forefathers. We were not a people, but now we are the people of God. I had not obtained mercy, but now I have obtained it. I regard my deliverance from sin and bondage as a great display of love toward me and do not forget the pit that he dug me from. I should have died in my sins. With the hand of love, he drew me out of darkness and allowed me to be a part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. I open my mouth and sound the trumpet of praise. I have offered great joy at the altar of gods that cannot see and cannot hear; therefore, I will not remain silent at the altar of the God who has kept me from perishing from off the land that I live in.

The Lord preserved my life and prolonged my days. I was not destroyed when sin and iniquity held me. I will not come to the kingdom and fall in the midst of the battle. I have Jesus, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, as my commander. I will not fall with those who think that they stand.

I take heed unto myself, and I do not take the Lord for granted. I am enjoying great victory. I do not consider this place a high place that I have attained by my own righteousness and goodness. He has lifted me out of the net of my enemies and has drawn me out of the waters of death. He has shut the mouths of the lions that were about to devour me. I will not crown myself with glory, for it shall only fall from my head. Reproach has been stayed, and an inheritance of a king has been given to me, an alien.

My head should have rolled with the heads of the damned. The light within me should have been turned off with the light of the wicked. I should have been hung up by my hands with the princes of the earth. God has given me joy in my heart and music to dance by. My mourning has been turned to great gladness, and my heart is not fainting. My eyes see, and my ears hear. My heart is changed, and my mind is stayed on him. My life is not desolate, and the spiritual beasts do not ravish my spiritual wealth. God is with me and speaking grace in my ears. He has remained with me while I coveted other gods. I will not come to the hill of victory and forget him. I have not won anything of myself. The weapons of my warfare are not carnal. They are only mighty through God. I will bow down and worship with a newfound humility.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #64

 

The Lord is the great, glorious God, and he has no ego problem. He is expressing to me the greatness of his wondrous works. My thoughts of him are too small. My concepts of him are too weak. The enemy has stifled me many times because I do not understand how great he is. I behold his greatness and how gracious he is. My children will not grow in grace and in the knowledge of God unless I express the abundance of his compassion and his mercy unto them. I open my mouth and speak of the glory of his kingdom. I talk of his power unto the people. I express the tender mercies of the Lord in words that they can understand. He is going to fill the earth with his mighty acts. He shall show the glorious majesty of his kingdom in these last days. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion endures throughout all generations. Because the time is short, does not mean that he is shortening his grace or his power. He is opening his hand and satisfying my desires for his good things. I call upon the Lord, and behold the power of his name and its security.

I am dwelling in a safe place. His blessings are abundant. They are flowing plentifully. I behold the great things being done for those that love and seek him. He is doing great things, unsearchable things, and marvelous things, without number. I once dwelled in low places, but now he has set me on high. I mourned in the past, but now he has exalted me to the safety in his name. The sword of the enemy was about to cut me down, but he saved me from their sword and from his mouth. He saved me from the hand of the mighty and those who hated me.

He is the great God who does things past finding out. His wonders are without number. I behold how awesome he is. He passes by me and I do not see him. He is a God who hides himself. He passes by me and I do not perceive him. He speaks unto me, and he allows me to hear him. He talks to my brother, and I cannot hear him. I behold his ways. They are past finding out.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #65

 

I cannot understand God's wisdom. His secrets are too great to know. I cannot search and find him out. I do not know how high heaven is. I do not know how deep hell is. What I know is very limited. I only know parts of his ways. I only know a portion of what he is. I humble myself under his mighty hand, and he will show me unsearchable things that have not been known. He knows me. He knows my thoughts and my intents. All of my ways are known of him. He has not made a mistake by humbling me with these thoughts about his unsearchable power and greatness. I needed to be reminded that he is the one who placed his word in my tongue. He laid his hands upon me. What is expressed through me is knowledge too wonderful for me to know of myself. It is high, and I cannot attain unto it with my limited mind.

He is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint, and he does not grow weary. There is no searching of his understanding. I cannot behold the depth of the riches of his understanding. His judgments are unsearchable and his ways are past finding out. The limited cannot search unto perfection the unlimited.

I will not be wise in my own heart, for God does not respect that kind of man. He is terrible in majesty, and I cannot find him out. He is excellent in power and in judgment. He knows what I need, and he knows my end. He is not here to afflict me. He is here to love and instruct me.

 

Confession of Faith - #66

 

I determine not to allow the thief to steal my spiritual wealth. I wake out of sleep. I know the time. My salvation is nearer than when I believed. The night is far spent, and the day is at hand. God has not given me the spirit of slumber. My eyes see, and my ears hear; therefore, I cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. I do not involve myself in strife and envying, and I make no provision to defend myself from accusations and subtle plots. I make no provision for the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof, but I put on the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no risk involved when I walk in the Spirit. I do not stand in jeopardy every day. The Lord has not come to make me feel insecure or to declare that I am a liability to his name. I awake to righteousness and sin not. Because some do not believe in the voice of the Lord, is no reason to abandon my relationship with him. This is the spirit of the thief attempting to break in and steal my spiritual wealth.

I do not make my bed with those who bear the letter. They shall sleep the sleep of death. Their swords of death are swinging at me. Their henchmen climb into my life to burglarize my spiritual wealth. I will not be choked by doubt and fear. I awake, and God will give me light. I walk circumspectly, and I will not be a fool, but I will walk as a wise man and redeem the time because the days are evil. The Lord has given me an understanding of what the will of the Lord is. I trust in his arms and his salvation. God has brought his righteousness unto me. His salvation shall be forever, and his righteousness shall not be abolished.

I do not fear the reproach of men, neither am I afraid of their reviling. The moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool. I will not rise to defend myself, but I will be confident that he is my strength. The Lord will cut asunder the schemers and will render permanent wounds to those who subtly attempt to drive me away and speak to destroy my name. I place my total confidence in him. He is the same God who dried up the sea. The sea before me shall be dried up by his breath, and a way shall be made for me to pass over. He has planned everlasting joy for my head. Gladness and joy are waiting in the distance. Sorrow and mourning shall retreat.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #67

 

I will not fight those who oppress me. I do not worry about the results of their schemes. I am his child. I have repented unto him, and his word remains in my tongue. I will not be afraid of men that shall die nor the sons of men that shall be made as grass. I look unto God, the Lord and my Maker. The subtle fury of the oppressor cannot destroy me. I look to the end of all these things. The fury of the oppressor has ceased. The oppressor did not rob me, and his 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 attempted to afflict me. I shake myself and arise from the dust of the dead. Life flows in me; therefore, I awaken and loose myself from the bands on my neck. Their hands cannot remain on me to subdue me for their own selfish cause. I shake 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; therefore, I break forth into joy, for my Lord reigns.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #68

 

The Lord is the Father of lights and the Father of spirits. The light within me is of him. It is an eternal light given by the Eternal God. He has not erred in choosing me to be a tabernacle for this light. Now I will let my light so shine in the earth that it might glorify him, my Father.

Many are bearers of false lights. Satan is transformed into an angel of light. False apostles, deceitful workers, and false ministers are transformed into apostles of Christ and ministers of righteousness. Wicked lights are rampant in the earth. Satan has sent lights into the earth working after him with all power, signs, and lying wonders. I receive the love of the truth that he is granting me, and I will be preserved from all deceivableness of unrighteousness that is being sent forth from the angel of light. His ministers shall all perish, for his strong delusion shall cause them to believe a lie that they all might be damned.

I humble myself and die daily. I will not attempt to serve the Lord without denying myself, taking up my cross daily, and following him. I will serve the angel of light without a love of the truth. I love the Lord, and I will love the truth. I seek him with all my heart, and I will find all that he has laid up for me. He has riches and honor with him. I will seek him with all of my heart, and I will find durable riches and honor. The things that he has stored up for me shall last. I follow the light of his word. Durable riches and honor await my arrival.

The fruit of God's word is better than gold. His earnings and his profits are better than the finest silver. I will continue in the light of his word, and I will be his disciple and not a disciple of Satan. I remember that many started out in the light but have turned unto the darkness. Jesus is the Light of the world. Those who love darkness rather than light do evil deeds. If my deeds are evil, I hate the light, and I will not come to the light, neither will I follow it. God reproves the deeds of those who hate the light. I will do the truth and not simply speak it. I will do the truth, and I will come to the light and remain with the light. If my deeds are works that come from him, then I will do the truth.

I will beware of the lights of Satan, and I will walk not in the counsel of his lights. I will not jeopardize my relationship with him; therefore I will not lose my prosperity, my health, and his blessings. I will not walk in the counsel of the ungodly. I will not stand in the way of sinners, neither sit in the seat of the scornful. I will allow my delight to be in the law of the Lord. In his law, I will continue to meditate day and night. I shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water and I will bring forth my fruit in my season. My leaf shall not wither, and whatsoever I do, shall prosper. My due season has arrived; therefore, I continue in the path of righteousness for his name's sake. I continue to hope in the living word and that which is forever settled in heaven then shall my heart be sound in the word, and I will not be ashamed. I hear these words and I do them; therefore, I will not explode into the darkness with the wandering stars and clouds without water.

I fear not because God is love. He cast out fear and the object of my fear. He has thrown this thing far from me; therefore, I lift up my eyes unto peace, compassion, and security. He has not brought me this far to cast me aside in the field of rejects. Many of those who are now shipwrecked found their fields of destruction because they lost faith in God. Man cannot determine my end. I look again to the Lord, and I behold his nature. The cross of redemption describes his feelings and concerns for me. He did not endure the horrible bruising of the cross to lose me after buying me with a great price. He purchased me, and now he will keep me. There is no imbalance in his love. His love saved me and will keep me. I listen to the voice of the Spirit through David and Job. They are not insignificant characters in a book. They are ensamples for my life and the outcome of my life. He did not include them in his word and set them out of reach in faith, righteousness, and holiness. He is inside of me to guarantee results greater than their results. He has redeemed me and given me mighty justification as a vehicle of surety.

My journey in this life is propelled by his righteousness. Sin is a reproach to everyone, but righteousness will exalt me. The kingdom of God and his righteousness are mine. Now I will be lifted from my posture of discouragement and stand erect in the stance of encouragement. I will not be bowed in the presence of the loud voices of man. The attitude promoted by God's righteousness is a mighty lift for my head and an enormous strength for my legs. He does not have any respect for man's filthy rags. Their garments of self-righteousness are odious in his nostrils and a stench hated by a holy God. I acquaint myself with his love again, and I will be assured of his favor toward those who trust in God. I will not taint my life with hypocrisy. I will not speak with a forked tongue, but I will let my yea be yea and my nay be nay. By my words, I am justified and by my words, I am condemned.

A great love has been given. I will allow him to root and ground me in love then will I be able to comprehend what is the breadth, length, depth, height, and to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge that I might be filled with all the fullness of God. God is dwelling in my heart by faith. I will be strengthened with might by his Spirit in my inner man. The riches of his glory supply all that I need. I am assured that he is able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that I ask or think, according to the power that works in me. Greater is he, who is in me, than he that is in the world. I will not allow my heart to be troubled.

God's voice thunders in the earth with the voice of excellency. His thunder announces the rain of blessings upon me. He will seal up the hand of man and send the fearful beasts back to their dens and their caves. He will chase away the whirlwind of destruction and send a fire against the cold threats of the enemy. His breath is upon me to furnish new life and vigor. His breath shall become a frost in the face of my enemies and a cloud to the vision of those who oppose me. I will not go unpunished for my sins and my iniquities, but mercy is the design of my correction. I behold his wondrous works. In a very cold time for me, he has supplied me with warm garments and set a new quietness in my midst. His words are ordered of the Lord. They trouble the darkness, but they will bring light to those chosen to hear.

God's grace has caused me to know the truth. By grace, I am saved and not of myself. It is the gift of God, not of works. If it were of works, then a space for boasting would be given. This great salvation is not by works of righteousness that I have done, but according to the mercy of God, he saved me. I was foolish, disobedient, deceived, and a slave to manifold lusts and pleasures. The Lord's kindness and love appeared unto me and saved me according to his mercy by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. The truth became alive unto me, and my mind was freed from the clutches of the darkness. The truth loosed me from the custody of the darkness. It is a mighty vehicle of translation that liberated me from bondage. I know the truth, and it has made me free. The truth does not become unstable, neither does it remove itself from its borders of stability. The truth is not portable. It remains fixed; therefore, it is reliable and dependable. The strongest lie cannot bend the truth. The truth is not twisted because men change words and actions. The truth does not deviate when symbols and deeds build their walls of contradiction.

Jesus is the God of truth. He is without iniquity. He is just and right. The father of lies or his evasions do not hinder the Lord. He is from everlasting to everlasting, and his truth endures to all generations. I will not be removed from fact and actuality. If I twist the truth, I create a different model. The truth is the only original. I will not buy the prototypes of the enemy. Here is the truth. God has given it unto me. I will buy it, and I will not sell it. The truth has been sold in the streets. Merchants of religion have sold out. Jesus was sold but for my sake. I will not buy the religious lies sold under fabricated crosses by another Jesus. The entirety of God's word is truth. Anything less than its entirety is a lie. The Lord speaks and acts according to the truth. It is impossible for him to lie; therefore, I stand fast in the truth, and I am not intimidated by lies and those who lie to me.

Though the truth I speak is taken away and buried, it will not disappear. It will rise and return to speak in other vessels. The truth came into the world, and they killed it and buried it. It returned in a resurrected body. If they had left it alive, it would have been less damaging to their lies. Truth offers its life and lays it down. A lie's invasion of the truth is its own demise and destruction. Jesus did not resist evil. He conquered it by allowing its offense against him; therefore, I will not resist those who oppose me. Their offenses are their cords that bind them in their own craftiness. The Lord has sent me. Those who fight me, fight against him. He brings to naught everything that he did not author. The definition of truth is not changed by man's outlines of the truth. Though man borders truth with his own words and ideals, truth's significance flourishes in a greater measure beyond man's borders. No one can take the truth from me. Though I am commanded to lay it down, God is in me to take it up again. Now I behold truth defined in a resurrected form.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #73

 

The voice of redemption speaks in me. No one can affect the waves of God's voice. The voice waves of his blood speak of things out of the range of all voices. God has penetrated the darkness and commanded its submission. It has bowed in my presence because of the commanding waves of his blood. His blood has declared better things for me. The light of his blood has revealed excellent things. I shall see and obtain the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places. The Lord will bring these things to pass that I may know that he is Jesus, the God of Israel, who has called me by name. I will not worry about the defense of the devil or the giant structures erected to resist me. God will make the crooked places straight. He will break in pieces the huge structures and will cut through the bars that hinder. He is with me, and he goes before me. He is the God of Israel. He made the earth, the man, and the beast that are upon the ground. By his great power and outstretched arm, he is giving me these things because he has determined to do it. I have not persuaded God by anything that I have done. He decided to bless me as a child of Abraham through Christ Jesus.

I will not worry about the hindering things for he has sent a sword against those who hinder me. God is drying up the flood of trouble. The spiritual beasts that have roared with the voice of fear have been silenced. I shall rest in peace and tranquility, for the Lord has banished these creatures of my dreams unto islands surrounded by his consuming fire. God's secret is with me. I behold the peace that I have because of his secret and the secret places of the Lord. He has sent spoilers against the crafty ones. Angels shall take the mighty and break their bows that were once effective for them. I will continue to dwell in the Lord's presence and look unto his beauty. I will look away from the fearful things manifested by my adversaries. I behold the beauty of the Lord. Within my body, which is God's temple, I will make inquiries of faith and confidence. He has not summoned times of trouble to bring dark times of destruction. Inside of trouble, he has hidden treasures and riches. While many are retreating at the sight of trouble's darkness, God has hidden me in his pavilion. He has made his pavilion a gazebo for worship and praise. He has made it a garden house for his beauty and the secret things that he has desired to share with me.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #74

 

I am hidden in the secret of the Lord's tabernacle. The distasteful manner that some observe and perceive of me is the intentional manner that God has covered his tabernacle with. I will not despise their view of me. It is in God's plan to use this to hide his secret things from them. I offer sacrifices of joy and sing praises unto the Lord. My head is lifted up above the enemies round about me. He has given me a rock higher than myself. I behold the goodness of the Lord that is laid upon the rock. Upon this rock, I am hidden in the secret of his presence from the pride of man. I am kept secretly in a spiritual gazebo from the strife of their tongues. This gazebo is a strong city where God is sharing with me the greatness of his marvelous kindness. I look into the distance and behold the many inhabitants coming to the secret gazebo prepared for those chosen to eat the living bread and drink the living water. They will not turn it away. They are hungry and thirsty. God is preparing these things; therefore, I remove my shoulder from the burden. I am not carrying this thing anywhere. The Lord is the burden-bearer. I called out to God, and he has heard me during this time of misunderstanding. The darkness of the dilemma shall shroud my blessings and treasures, and God has answered out of this darkness from the secret place of thunder.

 

 

Confession of Faith - #75

 

I am being secretly pursued. Suspicion is rampant on every side. A sea of darkness is my pathway. I will walk on in faith. It is my enemies that shall drown in this sea of darkness. God's light shall trouble them and bring great peace from the secret place of thunder. Weak, sinful vessels have accused me. Their sins shall be their snares and their chains. The subtlety of their efforts shall be used to bind them with fear from out of the unknown. Those who have secretly arisen in the dark shall be opposed by the fear in their dark chambers of secret plots. All shall know that the God of Israel is fighting for me. I behold the pathway of faith through the walls of darkness on the left and on the right. I will come and walk hurriedly in faith and holiness. I shall not drown. God has held back the walls of these dark waters. Those who seek to drown me shall drown. I will pray for them and save myself from their demise. Man looks from without with his dark schemes from the mind. I will look within to the secret of God's presence. The brightness within me shall become the lightning of his thunder. The lightning shall discomfit every opposition, and his voice shall utter great and mighty things. His voice shall create channels of fresh waters. These waters shall carry me unto places of prosperity. They shall carry me to deliverance from the strong enemy and things that were too strong for me. The Lord is the hand that will cause my stability. He is the one who will bring me into a large place. Deliverance is mine. God will reward me according to his righteousness. The kingdom and his righteousness have been sought. I now behold the treasures and riches in secret places of the darkness of my trials.
