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)

 

CONFESSION

Series 2_#1

 

January 1, 2004

No abominable thing shall enter into the prepared place for the faithful. Only those who work righteousness shall enter in. I shall not work abominations and enter in when God has told me that no abominable thing shall enter in.

I want to spend eternity with Jesus. By faith, I will spend eternity with him. By grace, I will show forth the works of a heavenly creation. The works of righteousness are the currency of eternity. Only those who do the will of the Father shall inherit eternal life, not those who work lies and abominations. I will not drink from the cup of the whore who pours out fornications and abominations, but I will drink from the wine of the church. The Lord has poured into his body the wine of the last days. This wine is a result of the grapes of wrath that he has trodden. His garments were dyed red in the winepress that he has trodden alone. There was no intercessor worthy. There was no one to help. There was no mediator without sin. Jesus came and walked in the winepress of the grapes of wrath for my eternal life.

I drink from the cup of eternal life. I abhor the cup of lust and pride offered by the religions of the world. I come out from among them, and I will be separate. God will receive me. He will be my God, and I shall be his child. I regret not the lost pleasures and treasures of the world, but I rejoice that my name is written in the Lamb’s book of life. God has written down my name in his book. I will not remove my name from his list to write my name in the hall of fools. I choose according to truth and righteousness, and now my name will not be blotted out of his book. I choose this day who I will serve. The Lord is the God that was on the other side of my salvation. Now he is the God on this side of my salvation. Jesus saved me when the gods on the other side of my salvation sought to destroy me; therefore, I will not serve these other gods.

I rise up from my servitude of weak and beggarly elements and gods that cannot see, speak, nor walk. I rise up and activate the obedience of faith. God will reward me according to my faith and his lovingkindness.

 

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.
