So let’s talk about why confession of God’s Word works and why we must do it if we want to see our desired results.
Hebrews 3:1 (KJV)
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Jesus is the Apostle and High Priest of our confession – what we say. He wants to work with us to cause His Word to come to pass in our lives but we have to give Him something to work with. He does not act independently of us.
If we only speak negative words, He can’t work with those words. We have to cooperate with Him. That means we have to speak the same Words that God has already spoken in His Word if we want Jesus to move on them to get us our results. He will not work contrary to His Word.
What’s so important about words? Words are containers. They contain good or evil, life or death. When you speak faith-filled words, those words go out and seek to change the circumstances.
Proverbs 18:21a (KJV) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue:
Jeremiah 1:12 (AMP) 12 Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.
God is constantly watching over his Word to cause it to come to pass but He must have someone speak forth those Words in faith.
Matthew 12:34b (KJV) 34 … for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
You see, whatever is in your heart will eventually come out. The problem is that you don’t want the wrong things coming out in a crisis. You have to learn to be a person of your word. Say what you mean and mean what you say. That’s why we can trust God’s Word because He said what He meant and meant what He said. And all of heaven stands behind His Word.
