Confession of Faith - September 19, 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

OF FAITH

Series 2.9.19 - #262

September 19, 2004

Jesus has given me a heart of thanksgiving. The gratitude that I feel today is of him. He has sent his grace my way and caused it to abound unto thanksgiving. I can of myself do nothing. The thankful heart that I have listened to is of my Lord. I worship Jesus and fall at his feet, knowing that he is with me even unto the end of the age. If he is for me, no one can be against me. I look to the end, and behold God's grace yet working for me. He did not begin a good work in me to end in a bad work. Jesus started this work in me, and he will finish it.

There is work to be done. I will not be distracted by men who seek my hurt. I will go on to the winning of the lost, and I will not be distracted by the schemes of men. I forget the things, which are behind me and reach forth unto the things that are before me. There is a prize awaiting me. I reach forth unto the prize of God's high calling. He has lengthened my reach. Now I do not doubt, but I allow my faith to soar. Now unto the Spirit within me there is ability to do exceeding, abundantly above all that I am able to ask or think according to the power which works in me. God will do a work in my day that I will not believe even if a preacher told me. I prepare for the wonders that he will do in my life. 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.
