Confession of Faith - March 2, 2005

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 Traditions

March 2, 2005

Much vanity is in the world. I will not let anyone deceive me with vain words. I will go from the presence of those who speak with vain words. The wrath of God will come upon these children of disobedience. I will not be a partaker with the children of disobedience. I am no longer in darkness. I am light in Christ. Now I will walk as a child of light. I will have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove them. All things that are reproved are made manifest by the light. Whatever is manifested, is light. It is time to awake out of my sleep and slumber. I will arise from the deadness of my traditions. The Lord will give me true light. I understand what his will is, and I will not be foolish in this hour. I will be filled with the Spirit. I will speak to others in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in my heart to the Lord. I prepare myself for the city God has made. Its streets are pure gold. The city has no need of the sun or moon to shine in it. He is the glory that lights it. I behold, he shows me a pure river of water of life. I behold the throne of the Lord before me. I will walk up to him, my blessed hope and receive the blessings of his goodness. I repent and return to the fellowship of love. Jesus is my bright and morning star. I am thirsty. Now I will go to him. I will go and receive the water of life freely.

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.
