Confession of God’s Word means to say the same thing that God says. But how do we do that? By speaking what He’s already said in His Word.
We are told to be followers of God – to imitate Him in His ways.
Ephesians 5:1 (KJV) 1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Ephesians 5:1 (AMP) 1 THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father].
Paul even tells us to follow him as he follows the Lord.
1 Corinthians 11:1 (KJV) 1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
You see, Jesus is the Pattern Son and He is the One we are to emulate. So what did He do that we are to do? He only said and did what He saw His Father say and do!
John 5:19 (KJV) 19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
John 8:38a (KJV) 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father:
If He wanted healing, He spoke to the problem and told it to go. That’s what we’re to do. We are not to ask God to do it because He has told us to lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. [Mark16:18; Matthew 10:8]
Of course this has to be done in faith. If you don’t know that it’s God’s will to heal every time, then you can’t pray the prayer of faith in faith. God’s Word is His will and His will is to heal every time!
