E. W. Kenyon wrote A Wrong Confession: A wrong confession is the confession of defeat, failure, and of the supremacy of Satan. Talking about your combat with the devil. How he has hindered you, and how he is holding you in bondage and keeping you sick is a confession of defeat. It is a wrong confession. It glorifies your adversary. It is an unconscious declaration that your Father-God is a failure. Most of the confessions that we hear today glorify the devil. Such a confession continually saps the very life out of you. It destroys faith and holds you in bondage. The confession of your lips that has grown out of faith in your heart will absolutely defeat the adversary in every combat. The confession of Satans ability to hinder you and keep you from success, gives Satan dominion over you, and fills you with fear and weakness. But if you boldly confess your Fathers care and protection, and declare that He that is in you is greater than any force around you, you will rise above Satanic influence. Every time you confess your doubts and fears, you confess your faith in Satan and deny the ability and grace of God. When you confess your weakness and your disease, you are openly confessing that the Word of God is not true and that God has failed to make it good. He declares that : With His stripes you were healed; and Surely He bath borne our sicknesses and carried our diseases. Instead of confessing that He has borne my diseases and put them away, I confess that I still have them. I take the testimony of my senses instead of the testimony of the Word of God. As long as I hold fast to my confession of weakness, sickness, and pain I will still have them. I may search for years for some man of God to pray the prayer of faith for me and it will be of no avail because my unbelief destroys the effect of his faith. The believer who is always confessing his sins and his weakness is building weakness, failure, and sin into his consciousness. If we do sin, when we confess it He is faithful and Righteous to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9. When that confession has been made, we never refer to it again. It is not past history, because history can be remembered. This is as though it had never been. We should never remind ourselves or the Lord of our failings, or of our past mistakes. They are not! If you confess anything, confess that you stand complete in Him-that what God has said in regard to your mistakes and blunders is absolutely true. We should never confess our sins to people. We may have to ask forgiveness of them, but then we are to forget it. Never tell anyone about your weakness or about your past blunders and failures. They will not forget them, and sometime will remind you of them. If you tell it to anyone, tell it to the Lord and then forget it. The Two Kinds of Life
