Confession of Faith - November 2, 2004

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

OF FAITH

Series 2.11.2 - #306

November 2, 2004

I stand fast in the liberty that God has made me free in. I am fighting against a stubborn spirit. Doubt has been sent as a warrior against me to abort the promises made to me. I do not waver in my belief. I asked in faith. Now I determine not to be as a wave of the sea that is driven with the wind and tossed. The Lord rewards those who are not double minded. A double minded man is unstable in all of his ways. Water is very unstable. He did not call me as water. He called me and made me a pillar. I do not hesitate in my belief. I have faith in God. If I say unto a mountain, "Be removed, and be cast into the sea," and do not doubt in my heart but believe that the things that I say shall come to pass, I shall have whatsoever I say. What things I desire when I pray and I believe that I will receive them, and I shall have them. I will think on the things that the Lord told me to think on, and I do not allow the presence of a doubtful mind. I have sought the kingdom of God first. Now I believe that the things I have need of shall be added unto me. It is his good pleasure to give me the kingdom. He knows that I need a worship center. In due time, it will be given unto me. I rest in his promises. He has promised, and he will perform what he has promised. I do not stagger at his promises through unbelief, but I am strong in faith while I give glory unto him. I am fully persuaded that what he has promised, he is able to perform. I believe God, and righteousness shall be imputed unto me. I believe that he raised Jesus from the dead after he was delivered for my offenses.

I am righteous before him, for he has counted me with the righteous. The Lord is faithful, and he will bring the things that he has promised to pass. He is not slack concerning his promises as some men count slackness. He is longsuffering towards me. He is not willing that I should perish, but he desires for me to come to repentance. He is very patient toward me. I truly repent. His word is gone out of his mouth. It will not return unto him empty. His word is tried. All his ways are perfect. He is my buckler, and I can trust him. He is the true God, a rock in this time of weariness. He has girded me about with strength and made my way perfect. God has made my feet like hinds' feet and set me upon the high places of the day. He has taught my hands to war. He will break the bow of the enemy for me by his own arm. He has given me the shield of salvation, and his right hand is holding me up. His gentleness will make me a great man, for he has enlarged my steps under me, and my feet will not slip. He has turned and pursued my enemies and overtaken them. He will not turn back until he has consumed them. They will not be able to rise again, for they are fallen under his feet.

The Lord has girded me with strength and subdued those who rose up against me. I take the necks of my enemies. They are destroyed. There will be no one for them to cry unto to save them, since they have chosen to be against whom God has sent. He will not answer them, for he is not double-minded and fighting on both sides. He is for the truth and against all lies. He will beat them small as the dust before the wind. They shall be cast out as the dirt into the streets. I purpose not to strive with them. Christ has made me the head and not the tail. I say, "Blessed be the Rock. Let the God of my salvation be exalted." He has delivered me from my enemies. He lifted me up above those that rose up against me. I have been delivered from those who sought to destroy my name. I sing praises to his name, for he has given me a great deliverance and showed me great mercy. I am Christ's seed and an heir according to his promises.

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.
