Confession of Faith - February 12, 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 Fear

February 12, 2005

God has chosen me out of darkness and brought me into marvelous light. No evil can penetrate this light that he has brought me into. Many fearful things have come upon this earth, and men's hearts shall fail them because of this fear that has come. God has given me perfect love. It will cast out fear from my midst. I will not fear, for he is perfecting me in love. Fear is a monster. The realm of darkness that fear operates in is not in the realm of love. God separated the darkness from the light. No one can reconcile that which he has put asunder. Darkness is giving birth to new fears each moment; therefore, light is giving birth to new peace in a greater measure. Peace that passes all understanding is mine; therefore, I will not fear.

Jesus has overcome the world and all the principalities and powers of the air. All things are under his feet. I am in God, and he is in me; therefore, all things are under my feet. I will not allow uncertainty to rule over me. All things of the present and future are under his feet. I cast down the imaginations that come from the realm of darkness. I allow God to rule in my heart. I will make him the king of my mind, spirit, body, soul, and strength. I express sincere love to him, my King. I recommit to a love relationship with him again and behold the newness of the works done in me. New works are conceived in me. It is time for them to be born. I will not fear them. Impossibilities shall surface so that the power of God's works might be made manifest in my life. I do not fear impossibility. I remember, it is like a sock turned inside out. I will go and turn the impossibilities inside out. There shall be great rejoicing at the manifestation of God's power. It is my time. It is my hour. There is no time for drawing away. I draw near to him, and he will draw near me. He has sent forth a freshness of love. Out of this fresh love, will come fresh inspiration. I draw near to him with a readiness to record what he says unto me, for he has many things to say in this end time.

I was baptized into Christ. The darkness cannot find me in him, the Light. All curses were broken when I was baptized into his death. I walk in newness of life to cease walking after the old man. My old man is crucified with Christ. The body of sin is destroyed; therefore, I do not serve sin. I am dead and freed from sin. I am dead with Christ, and now I shall live with him. Christ is raised from the dead, and he will not die again. Death does not have any more dominion over him. He died unto sin once, but in that he lives, he lives unto God. I reckon myself dead unto sin but alive unto God through Jesus Christ. I determine not to allow sin to reign in my mortal body. If I do, I will obey the lusts of it. I must yield my members as instruments of righteousness. Sin shall not have dominion over me. I am not under the law. I am under grace. I behold the manifestation of this awesome grace.

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.
