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 2.2.5 - #36

 

February 5, 2004

God has carried me behind the line of the enemy's stronghold. I have seen that he has no foundation to stand upon. He only has deception as a weapon. Deception has sent forth lust and pride as easy targets for ignorant hunters of flesh-loving people who seek to be wise. I will allow the law of the spirit of life to speak to me. I need not be drawn before the stones and the rocks of judgment. The Lord has already gone there for me. Instead of the stones of judgment for my sins, he has invited me to sit with him in heavenly places in Christ, and I shall enjoy the exceeding riches of his grace. I desire to love him with all my heart. When I have loved him with all my heart, all of the weapons of deception will lose their appeal. In his bosom, there is no lust for the wisdom of the world, neither is there any pride to hang myself on.

Grace has leaped into my life. It has embraced me and led me past many being destroyed. I will allow my heart to shout. Now I will sing praises for the salvation that has kept me while the mighty are fallen. I do not rejoice that they are falling, but I am grateful that grace was received when the fall came. Grace is my reward in this life, and love is my security if I love God. Peace is my stability while death and confusion plan to destroy the unstable souls of the hour. Joy is an undefiled river of fresh water in my soul while sadness and grief have become the sewer for those who hate him. While the instruments of spiritual adultery are fashioned and aimed to bind me to weak human ability, grace has led me beside the still waters of peace and love. I remain in these arms of love, and I will not hear the voice of weak human emotions as they express worthless words that shall fail on every corner.

God has given me fresh water to drink and fresh bread to eat. He has given me healing from the wings of the Sun of Righteousness. He has granted me a healing in my mind that the wave of lust and pride, from this last effort of the princes of this world, do not snare me. I will not think that I can do it of myself, but only by God's grace and his power, can this be accomplished.

 

 

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.
