The Law Of Confession (Part 1)

The words you speak have the power to put you over into life or to hold you in bondage! That is a powerful yet very true statement.  God's Word is very clear on the power of our tongue and words -- Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

In this post, I want to share with you several scriptures that point to the need for a good confession.

The Law Of The Spirit

• Galatians 6:7 - There are many ways to sow. You sow through your giving. You sow through
  
  your doing. You also sow through your speaking.
• Proverbs 4:23 -Whatever you put in your heart is going to bear fruit. It will grow up and become a part of your speech.
• Proverbs 6:2 - You are snared by your words. They get you in trouble or keep you out of trouble.
• Proverbs 12:18 -Your tongue will make you healthy or sickly.
• Matthew 12:34-37 - This is the law of the Spirit. You get whatever you speak.
• Hebrews 3:1 - Jesus is the High Priest of what we confess. What we confess is all our intercessor, Jesus Christ has to confess to the Father in our behalf. 
• Hosea 4:6 - Lack of knowledge has caused men to be destroyed and lives to suffer needless loss. 

God's Word Is Still Powerful Today

• Hebrews 11:3 - The words that God spoke out of His mouth framed this universe, set it in motion, and it stands today in obedience to the words that God spoke.
• Mark 11:11-14, 20-21 - Jesus cursed the fig tree and it died. He just spoke words.
• Hebrews 10:23 - Turn loose of the problem and get hold of your confession.

What Is The Answer?

The answer is in believing and confessing what the Word says.

• Hebrews 10:38 - The just shall live by faith.
• II Corinthians 5:7 - Faith in your heart is released by the words of your mouth.
• Psalms 119:89 - Say what the Word of God says.

Many Christians have been taken captive by their own words.  Those that say they can and those that say they can't are both right.  Which are you confessing?
