Continuing on why confession of God’s Word works:
The first words that come out of your mouth in a time of crisis are extremely important, to the point of life or death. I have seen this happen and it’s not pretty! That’s why you absolutely must get God’s Word in your heart in abundance so that it’s available when you need it.
Remember, your faith will not rise higher than the confession of God’s Word coming out of your mouth. That means you can’t pray beyond your knowledge of the Word because that’s where faith is and that’s where your faith needs to be – in God’s Word.
So, why does confession work? Confession is the voice of your faith and it works because you’re speaking God’s Word and His Word is truth! Faith is voice activated and to activate it you must speak it. That’s what confession is – speaking God’s Word.
Romans 10:17 (KJV)
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
When you hear God’s anointed Word, faith comes. And it comes quicker when you speak it out of your mouth because you believe yourself quicker than you believe other people. That’s why it’s important that you speak forth the promises that you’re standing on so that you can hear yourself speaking God’s Word and it can get into your heart in abundance and marinate.
You don’t get mountain-moving faith by confessing the Word one time or even ten times or thirty times. It doesn’t happen overnight but if you’ll stick with it, faith will come. It has to become a lifestyle. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Too many times people hear a faith message and think they’re a faith giant! This takes time and effort – lots of time and lots of effort but it’s all worth it when you actually do become a faith giant, able to move mountains!
