Rhapsody of Realities Pastor Chris Saturday, October 26th CONFESSIONS BASED ON REVELATION Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus. Hebrews 3:1 NKJV When we talk about confessing or speaking in conformity with the Word of God, its not mere positive talking or a formula for getting God to do something. Thats not what the Word teaches. Confession is from the Greek word, Homologia, and it means ‘speaking the same thing in consent or agreement. It means to declare openly, by way of speaking out freely, your deep convictions based on what God has said. Hebrews 13:5-6 says, ...for he hath said...So that we may boldly say.... Therefore, confession is the proclamation of that which God has said: declaring words that are consistent with His provisions, plans, and purposes. Your confessions must be based on the revelation of the Word of God. This isnt the same as the person who for example, feels pain in the stomach, and says, I dont have stomach pain...; thats not confession. The idea of confession isnt that you deny facts, or that you say, Im healed, so that youd be healed; no. Rather, when you say, Im healed, its founded on the truth that you know from the Word of God that you have the life of God in you! You have the present-hour consciousness that the same Spirit that raised up Christ from the dead, dwells in you, and vitalizes your mortal body; therefore youre speaking on the basis of that revelation. This explains why some people dont get the right results even though theyve been making positive confessions as it seems. We dont confess the Word so that something will happen; we speak the truth. We tell it as the Word says; you declare that which already belongs to you in Christ, and not what youre trying to get. Right now, declare Gods Word concerning your life, family, finances and ministry. CONFESSION Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Im reigning in life through Jesus Christ, making progress and moving forward; Im heaping success upon success. Im not of this world; therefore Im immune to the negativities and vagaries of the natural world. Glory to God!
