It is a Faith Walk. Whatever We Confess is What We Shall Receive (10.17.14)

Faith Believers,

GOD’s method for us to receive His blessings is found in Joshua 1:8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” In addition, in Mark 11:24, Jesus said, “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” 

In order to receive, we must believe and confess what we read. 

Our faith in GOD’s Word comes from hearing 

and hearing by the word of GOD. (See Romans 10:17.) 

GOD has already provided us with the key to receive what we desire from Him. 

However, if we don’t use the key, the door will never open. 

We will never have more than what we believe and confess. 

For with the heart, we believe; and with our mouth, 

confession is made unto salvation. (See Romans 10:10.) 

We can’t believe beyond what we are saying out loud. 

Our Lord and Savior operates on faith-filled words. 

Whatever we confess is what we shall receive, 

and if we choose to confess the wrong words, 

we are neglecting the faith we should have in the Lord.

You may find yourself saying, “I just can’t make up my mind,
whether I will confess His Word or anything else,
however nothing seems to be working.” 

Well, the Lord said in His Word that He knows you,
He knows your works, and He would rather you make a choice.
However, you don’t know if you want to be on fire
with His Living Word, or cold and dead.
That’s ok, because the Lord will decide for you.
He has said that because you are lukewarm and straddling the fence. 

He doesn’t want anything lukewarm in His mouth, 

therefore, He chooses to spit you out of His mouth. (See Revelations 3:15-16.)

Just as your negative confession will bring negative results, 

a neutral confession, which is not a confession at all, 

produces the same as a negative confession. 

GOD operates on Faith Words. 

If we want to experience the blessings of healing 

and the abundant life that Jesus hung, bled and died on the cross

to give us, then we must repent and renew ourselves
with the divine plan that GOD has established for us
to receive His blessings.
Now, we know what we should be doing; 

therefore, let us start confessing His Word out loud, daily.

One more thing, confessing His Word is not all that
we have to do to receive the blessings and benefits
that Jesus has already provided for us.
We must HOLD FAST TO OUR PROFESSION OF FAITH,
WITHOUT WAVERING, FOR HE IS FAITHFUL
THAT PROMISED. (See Hebrews 10:23.)
This means, when the blessings don’t come when we expect it;
we must not allow doubt to come into our heart and
cause us to speak flesh-filled, not spirit-filled words.

Remember, what you confess, is what you will possess;
and His Word said, “Ask in faith, nothing wavering.
Let not that person think that they shall receive anything of the Lord;
 for a double-minded, person is unstable” - James 1:6-8.We confessed and believed in the Lord to receive salvation.
Therefore, let us confess and believe in the Lord
to receive His blessings. It’s a faith walk.

We must begin to speak what GOD has said concerning our life,
and allow Him to show us the power behind His Words;
so they will manifest in our life as reality.
Let us return and follow the plan the Lord has laid out for us, His Children.
After all, He left us with plans to prosper, to give us hope and a future.
(See Jeremiah 29:11.)

I don’t know about you, but I would rather have His plans, than mine.  

Bless & Be Blessed,
