Confession of Faith - August 7, 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 2.8.7 - #219

August 7, 2004

Jesus is the true God, the Living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the whole earth shall tremble. He made the earth by his power and established the world by his wisdom. He stretched out the heaven by his discretion. Men who ruled earthly kingdoms shall know the Most High rules in the kingdom of men and that he gives these kingdoms to whosoever he will. He shall bring men low to show them that he rules in the kingdoms of men. They shall become as nothing as he shows them that he does according to his will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. None can stay the Lord's hand or say to him, "What doest thou?"

He will abase those who have walked in pride. They will be humbled before his prophets within whom he has placed an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding. The Lord shall exalt his wisdom within his prophets in these last days as they are brought forth to interpret dreams and to give hidden meanings in divers situations. He will do these things in the presence of the proud who have lifted themselves up against the Lord of heaven. He will do these things in the last days that the proud will know that the kingdom of heaven rules in the earth and that he gives to rule whosoever he will. I purpose not to be tempted by the tempter. I will always pray, "Lead me not into temptation, and deliver me from evil and the evil one." The kingdom, the power, and the glory are all God's. He will not give his glory unto another.

I will purge myself of all things that are contrary to sound doctrine according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God. He has committed to my trust this glorious gospel. He placed me into the ministry and enabled me to preach the gospel. I was a wretched sinner, but he gave me mercy and saved me by his grace. He is the King eternal, immortal, invisible, and the only wise God. To him, there should be honor and glory, forever and forever. He has given many prophecies over me. These prophecies went on before me that I might take them, and by them, I will war a good warfare while I hold faith and a good conscience toward his promises. He is understanding. By him, kings reign and princes decree justice. He loves them that love him, and those that seek him early shall find him. His fruit is better than gold and his revenue than choice silver. He is Christ, the wisdom and the power of God. I believe on him, so my thoughts shall be established. My words shall proceed out of my mouth, and they will not return to him void. He shall confirm the words that I speak with signs and wonders. I have found life and have obtained favor of the Lord. I am blessed, for I hear him. Now I continue to watch daily at his gates. I wait at the posts of his doors. I wait on him, for he will surely strengthen my heart.

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.
