Your Faith, Your Confession

Faith and Confession



So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 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. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
(Mark 11:22-24)

I was praying earlier and God just directed me to some scriptures on faith and confession. I graduated from RHEMA Bible Training Center-a school ordained by God and spoken into existence through the faith-filled words of Kenneth E Hagin. The ministry of Kenneth E Hagin and RHEMA was built upon the scriptures above. Those were the words given by God to Brother Hagin when he was laying on his death bed. And those were the words that raised him up from that death bed so he could fulfill all that God had called him to do.
Those words-believe that which you speak, that which you pray, believe you receive them as you speak, and they will be yours--should be the foundation of any Christians life. God has told us that we are to walk by faith and not by site. He wasn't just saying that to put a few more words in a book. Those are to be foundational principles to live ones life as a Christian.
We are to walk by faith. And faith speaks. The confession of faith is prominent in the Bible, though most of which the church world hears is about the confession of sins.
If we are to live our lives as God intended, to live victorious in this life as we make our way to the next, we must follow God's principles for it.
1.) Get in the Word of God and find out what He has promised. Built your faith on those scriptures.
2.) Continually confess those promises over your life-day and night. (Joshua 1:8)
3.) Believe you receive whatever you need when you pray the first time. All other times you speak out the situation, either confess the Word over it or give thanks to God that it is already done.
4.) Continually strengthen your faith with the Word on the situation and watch God deliver you.
