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 2.2.13 - #44

 

February 13, 2004

Many have risen up to play and called it the joy of salvation. True joy will come when I rejoice with the angels who are excited about the repenting sinners. No sea is too stormy when I am seeking the lost. God has come to give me directions. I have used traditions of man to detect what he is doing in the earth, but the Lord has said that he is not found by the radar systems of traditions.

I will seek him with a whole heart, and I will be given the vision of soul-winning for this hour of salvation. Man’s mind cannot detect the way of his spirit. I come unto the throne of grace, and I look through the eyes of faith. Now will I behold the clear light of direction, which is given by the mind of Christ. God is not hiding his will and the right direction from me. It is clearly revealed unto those who are called according to his purpose and those who love him. Those who love him shall cleave to him. When I have left my own reasoning and my own understanding and rooted myself in love, then I will cease worrying about controlling my destiny. I give the Lord the controls of my life. I cannot relinquish the controls without giving him all my heart, all my soul, all my mind, and all my strength. When I have sought him with all my heart, in that day, I will surely find him and abide in the perfect will of God. The ship of Zion is not in trouble on the seas of life. God is not troubled, neither is his body. The gates of hell are not going to prevail against his body; therefore, trouble in this hour will not prevail against me.

I am distracted because I have insisted on my own way. The Lord has already said, “Lean not to your own understanding, for there is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the ends thereof is death.” His way is not a seemingly right path, but it is the path of faith. Faith is speaking today. Faith is granting me a good report as it did for the elders. Faith is expressing new visions of peace in the midst of all these things in the earth. Faith will frame my vision and blot out the illusions of being sabotaged by the adversary and his host.

 

 

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.
