Confession of Faith - January 26, 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 Doubt and Traditions of Men

January 26, 2005

Night has not captured me in the vacuums of this life. Though I have faltered and failed many times, the Lord has helped me and kept me from the destroyer. He has not allowed my flesh to be destroyed or my soul to become destitute. He has kept me as he has promised. Now I believe the truth of the gospel and his promises. He has promised, and he will perform. I lift my head up as a gate, and I am as an everlasting door. He will come into the lifted heads and lifted doors. He is my king, my Everlasting Father. The princes of the world are no match for the love that he is. He is love. He is light. He is my righteousness, and he has justified me. I believe on him as the scriptures have declared of him, and the rivers of living water will flow in me and through me. I allow true faith to work. True faith is in me. True faith has not come to the threshold of revival and turned back. True faith has no reverse, for true faith overcomes all things. If I believe, then all things are possible if I truly believe. With men, things are impossible, but with God, all things are possible, and nothing is too hard for God.

I look to the miracle worker inside and trust in the manifestation of his faithfulness. He has not promised and forgotten his promises. He has not opened his mouth and lied. He has opened his mouth and settled his word forever. His word is forever settled in heaven. His word has gone out of his mouth and will not return to him void or empty. He has expressed the love of God unto me. He showed the world that the love of God has no barriers. Now I believe that the love of God shall bring down all the barriers in my life. He is expressing the power of love in me now that I might be an overcomer and not be bound by the traditions that have sought to enslave me. I lift my head unto the victory of the cross and the victory of the resurrection. Jesus has made a way. Now I walk through these open doors that he has brought me to. The open doors of the day are for me to walk through. Now I walk with the redeemed, knowing that his blood is the way of access and the expression of truth on my behalf. I walk. The way is made for me. Now I do not doubt.

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.
