Confession of Faith - March 18, 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

Series 2.3.18 - #78

March 18, 2004

I will not be intimidated by the size of the miracle that I need. I am using comparative reasoning to determine if Jesus will perform the miracle for me. I determine not to use this erroneous concept of faith in his presence, for he is not a respecter of persons, neither is he a liar. I am a liar, but God is true. I purpose not to allow the size of my need to reduce me to a beggar before his throne, but I rise up in the stature of faith and express my need as a son who has been made a joint heir to all that he has. The Lord owns everything. He is the head of all principality and power. Now I speak his name while I humble myself unto the authority of his word and his promises. Jesus is true. If I ask, I shall receive. I have never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging bread or money. The Father has invited me to come boldly unto his throne of grace that I may obtain mercy and find grace to help me in the time of need. He desires to give me the miracle more than I desire it. He foreknew me, called me, and justified me. If he is for me, then no one can be against me. He did not spare his own Son. He delivered him up for all of us. No one will persuade Jesus to not give me all things with the Son that he offered.

An enemy has accused me. I am among the elect of God. No one shall lay anything to my charge. Jesus is the one who justifies. There is no one that will condemn me. I look to the one who is making intercession for me. He died for me and is raised again. I believe that love is on my side and that nothing can separate me from the love of Christ. The Holy Ghost that is freely given to me sheds it abroad in my heart. I have placed a high value on the Holy Ghost that resides in my body. There is nothing that he will not give unto me. I believe.

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.
