My Confession

Perhaps you will make it your confession too!

God framed His world by His words. (Hebrews 11:3)
I am created in His image. (Genesis 1:16)
By the dominion He has given me, (Genesis 1:28)
I frame my world by my words. (Proverbs 18:21, Mark 11:23)

I am the prophet of my own life.
My words, in my life, determine
my well-being, my provision, my health,
my future, and my place in eternity. (Proverbs 23:7, Luke 6:45, Romans 10:9)

My faith-filled words are alive and full of power.
Jesus is the High Priest of my confession.
My words are the voice of Jesus in the earth.
Jesus is my voice in heaven.
All things are under His feet.
I am in Him,
Therefore, all things are under my feet. (Hebrews 4:14, Ephesians 1:22-23)

My confession is enriched by Jesus.
My faith-filled words dominate
the laws of sin and death. (Romans 8:2)
Satan is always defeated in my life
By the blood of the Lamb and my words. (Revelation 12:11)

I am what the Word says I am,
I can do what the Word says I can do,
I can have what the Word says I can have.
I'm not moved by what I see.
I'm not moved by what I feel.
I'm moved only by what God's Word says about me.

I am the dwelling place of God's Spirit.
He lives in me. (1 Corinthians 3:16)
I am the righteousness of God in Christ.
He gave it to me. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
From the abundance of my Word-filled heart,
my Word-filled mouth speaks. (Luke 6:45)

I am filled with the Holy Spirit of the Creator.
I have His love, His joy, His peace,
His power and His Purpose.
Today is not a sick day, (3 John 2)
Not a sad day, (Isaiah 61:3)
Not a fearful day. (2 Timothy 1:7, 1 John 4:18)
But every day is a joyful, victorious,
Spirit-filled, Word-filled, Jesus-exalting day!

Notes:

From the same mouth come both blessing and cursing… (James 3:9).

Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).

Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth (Proverbs 6:2).

For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned (Matthew 12:37).

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says (Mark 11:23, NKJV).

"The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart"—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation (Romans 10:8-10, NASB).

The below is an interesting excerpt of an article that appeared in the Concepts of Faith journal, third quarter 1999 edition, sent to me by a friend.

WORDS ARE ENERGY

Words are energy and energy affects matter. The energy of your microwave vibrates the water molecules and heats the water. The energy of electricity flows to your washing machine and powers the motor that spins the tub and cleans your clothes. So, we can rightfully say that energy affects matter. Your words are energy that affects the matter in your life. When you speak the words, "This is the worst car I have ever had! You stupid piece of junk!" Those words are vibrations of energy that affect the atoms that make up that car. You have spoken to it and it will obey you!

Scientists have performed experiments with atoms and their sub-atomic particles such as electrons. If you paid attention in school, you saw the diagram of an atom with the electron orbiting it like the earth orbits the sun. The interesting thing is that scientists have discovered that the electron that is shown orbiting the nucleus is not always there in particle form. It exists in a wave state (like a cloud, everywhere at once) until someone looks at it. When the scientist observes it, it suddenly appears as a dot (particle). What we all want to know, is, "How does it know someone is looking at it?" I obviously is responding to the observer.

One of the difficulties in quantum physics is that the particles behave somewhat differently for each observer, whic leads me to the question, "Does it behave according to what the scientist believes?" In any event, we can definitely conclude that Jesus was right when He taught that all matter responds to faith and words. The substance from which our world is made is influenced and manifested by words. The things that you desire are made up of atoms. They know what you believe, hear what you say and behave accordingly.

BELIEFS PRODUCE ENERGY

The thoughts and beliefs that you carry also produce an energy around you. Have you ever noticed that when you are angry, things go wrong, and people are insulting and angry with you: Your thoughts and beliefs produce an energy that people can perceive and react to. If you believe that no one likes you, then you put off that rejecting type of energy, and people will be driven away from you.

If you love people and care about them, they will feel that and be drawn to you. Have you ever been around someone who is pleasant and full of love? It is an energy you can actually feel. The energy of love is a powerful drawing card for good in your life. After all, God is Love.

When you believe that God loves you and wants you to prosper, then you change your words and beliefs about money. When financial challenges used to come my way, I would fall into fear and begin to say things like, "Well, now we won't be able to pay off the car, house, (or whatever)!" The fear and speaking of it is an energy that affects your checking account and stops financial freedom. Now, I have learned to think and believe and say, "Things always work out for me. Everything that I do prospers and I have abundance, in Jesus' name." God is not limited to the things that you and I see. There is an infinite supply of substance waiting to be manifest according to your beliefs and words! "Faith is the substance of things hoped for..." (Hebrews 11:1)

...When Jesus spoke to the fig tree and said, "No man eat fruit from thee hereafter forever", then that fig tree dried up from the atomic level because of His words. When He spoke to the winds and the waves, they obeyed Him. He was teaching us the undeniable Biblical principle that THINGS OBEY WORDS.

Jesus did not demonstrate this just to prove He was the Son of God. He demonstrated it and then told his disciples that they too can speak words of power. He wanted us to have the revelation that we are powerful spirit beings who can speak to the mountains in our life and they will obey us.

...Things are responding to your words every day, so speak good things to all that surrounds your life. If you really believe Jesus' words, you will monitor your thoughts and conversations, because you are the one giving substance to your world through words."
