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 2.2.11 - #42

 

February 11, 2004

Jesus has given his life for me. No other life can be offered for the sins of the world. He is the Messiah. His life was offered for my sins, and now my sin debt is paid. I acknowledge the power of the payment price for my sins, and I walk out of the prison of debt and regret. There is no power to restrain me. The Lord has abolished the power of sin and allowed me to go free by the holy path of his blood. The way is made for me, and no one can close off this pathway. I do not look to the left, nor the right to view the instruments that sound the tunes of condemnation in my ears. Their sounds do not fall on the ears of righteousness, for righteousness has heard the sound of redemption and accepted the trumpet's blast of surrender. Jesus came and surrendered to the will of the Father. In surrender, he offered himself once and for all to declare sin a loser.

Righteousness has been granted to me. Love has embraced me. Peace is now my reward. Joy is my strength, and mercy walks with goodness as a shield for my back. I look to him as his little one. I have stared at the shadows of condemnation and weakness long enough. I behold my King. He is just and lowly, yet awesome and mighty. He has redeemed me from the will of my persecutors. Now I allow the power of the will to be executed for me this moment. The power of the will is being executed for his name's sake and to make me free by the truth. I am freed and no longer bound; therefore, I leap for joy. The Lord has made me a son. I now enjoy the benefits of the covenant that have been instituted in my life for his name's sake.

 

 

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.
