Confession of Faith - January 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)

Words of Light Upon the Face of Impossibility

January 19, 2005

Christ lives. He is alive forevermore. Because he lives, I live also. He is the resurrection and the life. Greater is he, who is in me, than he that is in the world. Jesus is the great light of eternity. He shines brighter than all other lights, and he shines forevermore. There is none that can put him out. He is the great light. The Lord shines in darkness, and the darkness does not comprehend him. He has exploded in the darkness, and the darkness has no power to bring him down. Jesus is exalted evermore. He is not temporary. He is permanent. I believe on him as the scriptures have declared of him. In him, there is no failure or darkness. I will go and give witness of his resurrection, and great grace will come upon me. There is power hidden in the expression of his resurrection. He gave his life as a ransom for the sins of the world, but he regained his life by the resurrection. No man can take his life from him. He had power to lay it down, and he had power to take it up again. Now, Christ is alive in me. I will experience his power working in me unto a profitable force. He is real. I am experiencing him. I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless, I live. The life I live in the flesh, I live it by the faith of the Son of God. He loved me and gave his life for me. Now, Jesus is living his life out in me. I am experiencing his life.

The Lord offers me an encounter with him, the Holy God of heaven. He has come that I might have life. The life that he offers me is an abundant life. There is nothing scarce about the life that he offers, but it is plentiful. I am experiencing it. If I can believe, all things are possible. I have lived in the arena of religious form long enough. God removes me from a form of godliness and carries me into the arena of actuality. No longer will I simply talk about him, but I shall experience him as it is reported of him. God parted the waters of the Red Sea. He caused the time to stand still. He created man from the dust of the earth. He shall part my impossibilities. He will cause the time of my judgment to stand still. He shall create new creatures out of those who are dead in trespasses and sins. I believe.

I will go and be a part of this last day move of God's Spirit in the earth. His power shall be manifested in an awesome demonstration of reality. I elect to turn from those who have a form of godliness and deny the power thereof. I embrace true faith, true righteousness, and true holiness. The kingdom of God has come unto me. It is filled with power. It did not come in word only but in power. I am experiencing the power. God has filled me with power. The Holy Ghost has come upon me and so has the power of God. The reality of these words is existent in me. I open my mouth and speak what I believe, and it shall come to pass. I will move upon the face of the impossible and say, "Let there be opportunity and the success of Jesus Christ."

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.
