Confession of Faith - March 21, 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 2.3.21 - #81

March 21, 2004

Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of God's mouth. These things come by the same gift that the logos of God came by. The Lord has confirmed the Rhema of God to me with signs, wonders, divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost according to his own will. I look and behold Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that he, by the grace of God, should taste death for every one of us. I purpose not to take my eyes off what he has accomplished for me, for it is by him that I and many sons are brought unto glory. I am one with him. He is my head, and I am a part of his body. He is not ashamed to call me brother. He destroyed the one that had the power of death, that is, the devil. He delivered all who through the fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage. He was made like unto me that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things that pertain unto the Spirit, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. He is able to succor me during this time of temptation to doubt and to fear. I behold Jesus, the author and the finisher of my faith today, yesterday, and forever. An abundance of prophecies have been delivered into my hands. I am determined not to simply allow them to dwell in my hands but to hide them in my heart. They have gone before me. Now I take them, and by them, I war a good warfare while I am holding faith and a good conscience. Many are shipwrecked because they have despised prophesying. To speak against true prophecy, is to speak against God's word and him, for he has said, "Despise not prophesying." I am not forsaking the Bible by believing in the Rhema word of God, for I know that the Rhema of God proceeds from that which is forever settled in heaven. Men may tamper with Bibles, but it is impossible to tamper with the word that is forever settled in heaven. The Lord has spoken these words in my ears. I will take them, the sword of the Spirit, and swing it with the lips of grace and a heart filled with love. I will not falter in the presence of these voices speaking in my presence, but I take unto myself the Rhema word of God. I submit myself totally unto God and swing it with the might of the Spirit. The devil shall now flee from me.

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.
