Confession of Faith - June 6, 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 2.6.6 - #158

June 6, 2004

God created all things for himself. He even created the wicked for the day of evil. He created me in righteousness and gave me gifts. The gifts and calling of God are without repentance. They are irrevocable. His gifts and calling are not flexible. They are binding. They are working in me right now; therefore, I repent that my sins may be blotted out. No one can withstand him. He does as he desires, for he is the Lord of all. His judgments are unsearchable, and his ways are past finding out. No one has known his mind. No one has been his counselor. No one has given to him first. He created everyone, and of him, through him, and to him, are all things. He laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning. The heavens are the works of his hands. He is the same. By Jesus Christ, were all things created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers: all things were created by him and for him. Jesus Christ is before all things, and by him, all things consist. He is the head of the body, the church. He created all things to the intent that now, unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places, might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God according to the eternal purpose, which he purposed in Christ Jesus. In him, I have boldness and access with confidence by his faith. I will use his faith and seek him as his offspring. He is inside of me waiting on the faith of Jesus Christ to be expressed. If I have faith as he has described in his word, nothing shall be impossible for me. There is nothing too hard for him; therefore, nothing is impossible for me, for he is the inside worker performing all things that he has promised. He has not made a mistake in creating me. He established the world by wisdom. By that same wisdom, he created me. I cease trying to figure things out and accept that the Everlasting God, the Creator has unsearchable understanding. He is giving me power in this time of fainting. He is increasing my strength. I wait upon him, and my strength shall be renewed. I shall mount up with wings as an eagle. I will not faint, for he has supplied more grace. I do not look to my own strength, but I look to the greatness of his might. He is strong in power, and there is no fault in him.

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.
